Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: improve broadcast implementation The TIPC broadcast link implementation is currently complex and hard to follow. It also incurs some amount of code and structure duplication, something that can be reduced significantly with a little effort. This commit series introduces a number of improvements which address both the locking structure, the code/structure duplication issue, and the overall readbility of the code. The series consists of three main parts: 1-7: Adaptation to the new link structure, and preparation for the next step. In particular, we want the broadcast transmission link to have a life cycle that is longer than any of its potential (unicast and broadcast receive links) users. This eliminates the need to always test for the presence of this link before accessing it. 8-10: This is what is really new in this series. Commit #9 is by far the largest and most important one, because it moves most of the broadcast functionality into link.c, partially reusing the fields and functionality of the unicast link. The removal of the "node_map" infrastructure in commit #10 is also an important achievement. 11-16: Some improvements leveraging the changes made in the previous commits. The series needs commit 53387c4e ("tipc: extend broadcast link window size") and commit e5356794 ("tipc: conditionally expand buffer headroom over udp tunnel") which are both present in 'net' but not yet in 'net-next', to apply cleanly. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Correct synchronization of the broadcast link at first contact between two nodes is dependent on the assumption that the binding table "bulk" update passes via the same link as the initial broadcast syncronization message, i.e., via the first link that is established. This is not guaranteed in the current implementation. If two link come up very close to each other in time, the "bulk" may quite well pass via the second link, and hence void the guarantee of a correct initial synchronization before the broadcast link is opened. This commit makes two small changes to strengthen this guarantee. 1) We let the second established link occupy slot 1 of the "active_links" array, while the first link will retain slot 0. (This is in reality a cosmetic change, we could just as well keep the current, opposite order) 2) We let the name distributor always use link selector/slot 0 when it sends it binding table updates. The extra traffic bias on the first link caused by this change should be negligible, since binding table updates constitutes a very small fraction of the total traffic.

With the recent commit series, we have established a one-way dependency between the link aggregation (struct tipc_node) instances and their pertaining tipc_link instances. This has enabled quite significant code and structure simplifications. In this commit, we eliminate the field 'owner', which points to an instance of struct tipc_node, from struct tipc_link, and replace it with a pointer to struct net, which is the only external reference now needed by a link instance.

Since all packet transmitters (link, bcast, discovery) are now sending consumable buffer clones to the bearer layer, we can remove the redundant buffer cloning that is perfomed in the lower level functions tipc_l2_send_msg() and tipc_udp_send_msg().

The neighbor discovery function currently uses the function tipc_bearer_send() for transmitting packets, assuming that the sent buffers are not consumed by the called function. We want to change this, in order to avoid unnecessary buffer cloning elswhere in the code. This commit introduces a new function tipc_bearer_skb() which consumes the sent buffers, and let the discoverer functions use this new call instead. The discoverer does now itself perform the cloning when that is necessary. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped multicast in the future. A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be acknowledged by the correct set of destinations. This commit introduces these changes. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The code path for receiving broadcast packets is currently distinct from the unicast path. This leads to unnecessary code and data duplication, something that can be avoided with some effort. We now introduce separate per-peer tipc_link instances for handling broadcast packet reception. Each receive link keeps a pointer to the common, single, broadcast link instance, and can hence handle release and retransmission of send buffers as if they belonged to the own instance. Furthermore, we let each unicast link instance keep a reference to both the pertaining broadcast receive link, and to the common send link. This makes it possible for the unicast links to easily access data for broadcast link synchronization, as well as for carrying acknowledges for received broadcast packets.

Until now, we have tried to support both the newer, dedicated broadcast synchronization mechanism along with the older, less safe, RESET_MSG/ ACTIVATE_MSG based one. The latter method has turned out to be a hazard in a highly dynamic cluster, so we find it safer to disable it completely when we find that the former mechanism is supported by the peer node. For this purpose, we now introduce a new capabability bit, TIPC_BCAST_SYNCH, to inform any peer nodes that dedicated broadcast syncronization is supported by the present node. The new bit is conveyed between peers in the 'capabilities' field of neighbor discovery messages.

Realizing that unicast is just a special case of broadcast, we also see that we can go in the other direction, i.e., that modest changes to the current unicast link can make it generic enough to support broadcast. The following changes are introduced here: - A new counter ("ackers") in struct tipc_link, to indicate how many peers need to ack a packet before it can be released. - A corresponding counter in the skb user area, to keep track of how many peers a are left to ack before a buffer can be released. - A new counter ("acked"), to keep persistent track of how far a peer has acked at the moment, i.e., where in the transmission queue to start updating buffers when the next ack arrives. This is to avoid double acknowledgements from a peer, with inadvertent relase of packets as a result. - A more generic tipc_link_retrans() function, where retransmit starts from a given sequence number, instead of the first packet in the transmision queue. This is to minimize the number of retransmitted packets on the broadcast media. When the new functionality is taken into use in the next commits, we expect it to have minimal effect on unicast mode performance.

The broadcast link instance (struct tipc_link) used for sending is currently aggregated into struct tipc_bclink. This means that we cannot use the regular tipc_link_create() function for initiating the link, but do instead have to initiate numerous fields directly from the bcast_init() function. We want to reduce dependencies between the broadcast functionality and the inner workings of tipc_link. In this commit, we introduce a new function tipc_bclink_create() to link.c, and allocate the instance of the link separately using this function.

In reality, the link implementation is already independent from struct tipc_bearer, in that it doesn't store any reference to it. However, we still pass on a pointer to a bearer instance in the function tipc_link_create(), just to have it extract some initialization information from it. I later commits, we need to create instances of tipc_link without having any associated struct tipc_bearer. To facilitate this, we want to extract the initialization data already in the creator function in node.c, before calling tipc_link_create(), and pass this info on as individual parameters in the call.

The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink. This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as in network mode. In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations and optimizations.

Currently, a number of structure and function definitions related to the broadcast functionality are unnecessarily exposed in the file bcast.h. This obscures the fact that the external interface towards the broadcast link in fact is very narrow, and causes unnecessary recompilations of other files when anything changes in those definitions. In this commit, we move as many of those definitions as is currently possible to the file bcast.c. We also rename the structure 'tipc_bclink' to 'tipc_bc_base', both since the name does not correctly describe the contents of this struct, and will do so even less in the future, and because we want to use the term 'link' more appropriately in the functionality introduced later in this series. Finally, we rename a couple of functions, such as tipc_bclink_xmit() and others that will be kept in the future, to include the term 'bcast' instead. There are no functional changes in this commit.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-23 This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, if_link, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Anjali adds a workaround to drop any flow control frames from being transmitted from any VSI, so that a malicious VF cannot send flow control or PFC packets out on the wire. Also fixed a bug in debugfs by grabbing the filter list lock before adding or deleting a filter. Akeem fixes an issue where we were unconditionally returning VEB bridge mode before allowing LB in the add VSI routine, resolve by checking if the bridge is actually in VEB mode first. Mitch fixed an issue where the incorrect structure was being used for VLAN filter list, which meant the VLAN filter list did not get processed correctly and VLAN filters would not be re-enabled after any kind of reset. Helin fixed a problem of possibly getting inconsistent flow control status after a PF reset. The issue was requested_mode was being set with a default value during probe, but the hardware state could be a different value from this mode. Carolyn fixed a problem where the driver output of the OEM version string varied from the other tools. Jean Sacren fixes up kernel documentation by fixing function header comments to match actual variables used in the functions. Also cleaned up variable initialization, when the variable would be over-written immediately. Hiroshi Shimanoto provides three patches to add "trusted" VF by adding netlink directives and an NDO entry. Then implement these new controls in ixgbe and ixgbevf. This series has gone through several iterations to address all the suggested community changes and concerns. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Change the selection of a multipath route to use a flow-based hash. This more suitable for traffic sensitive to reordering within a flow (e.g. TCP, L2VPN) and whilst still allowing a good distribution of traffic given enough flows. Selection of the path for a multipath route is done using a hash of: 1. Label stack up to MAX_MP_SELECT_LABELS labels or up to and including entropy label, whichever is first. 2. 3-tuple of (L3 src, L3 dst, proto) from IPv4/IPv6 header in MPLS payload, if present. Naturally, a 5-tuple hash using L4 information in addition would be possible and be better in some scenarios, but there is a tradeoff between looking deeper into the packet to achieve good distribution, and packet forwarding performance, and I have erred on the side of the latter as the default.

It is replaced by a hash based algorithm from Robert Shearman in the next patch - mpls_route_update cleanup: remove 'dev' handling in mpls_route_update. mpls_route_update though implemented to update based on dev, it was never used that way. And the dev handling gets tricky with multiple nexthops. Cannot match against any single nexthops dev.

The limitation of the number of multicast address for VF is not enough for the large scale server with SR-IOV feature. IPv6 requires the multicast MAC address for each IP address to handle the Neighbor Solicitation message. We couldn't assign over 30 IPv6 addresses to a single VF. This patch introduces the new mailbox API, IXGBE_VF_UPDATE_XCAST_MODE, to update multicast mode of VF. This adds 3 modes; - NONE only L2 exact match addresses or Flow Director enabled - MULTI BAM and ROMPE set - ALLMULTI BAM, ROMPE and MPE set If a guest VF user wants over 30 MAC multicast addresses, set IFF_ALLMULTI to request PF to update xcast mode to enable VF multicast promiscuous mode. On the other hand, enabling VF multicast promiscuous mode may affect security and performance in the network of the NIC. Only trusted VF can enable multicast promiscuous mode. The behavior of untrusted VF is the same as previous version.

Implements the new netdev op to trust VF in ixgbe. The administrator can turn on and off VF trusted by ip command which supports trust message. # ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust on or # ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust off Send a ping to reset VF on changing the status of trusting. VF driver will reconfigure its features on reset.

There is no reasons to probe cpsw from late_initcall level and it's not recommended. Hence, use module_platform_driver() to register and probe cpsw driver from module_init() level.

Add netlink directives and ndo entry to trust VF user. This controls the special permission of VF user. The administrator will dedicatedly trust VF user to use some features which impacts security and/or performance. The administrator never turn it on unless VF user is fully trusted.

Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under normal operations, but definitely can happen. Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur. To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child. If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation. This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path. Fixes: e994b2f0 ("tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets") Fixes: 079096f1 ("tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The commit 3092e5e4cc79 ("i40e: add little endian conversion for checksum") fixed the checksum bug on big-endian architecture. But we should not execute cpu_to_le16() unconditionally. Thus, put cpu_to_le16() under certain condition.

In i40evf_msix_aq(), the first two lines of rd32() are mainly to clear the registers. If we initialize 'val' at this point, it will be overwritten immediately. We shall simply discard the return value here. When we initialize 'val', we might as well include the mask in one step.
