To insert or encapsulate a packet with an SRH, we need a large enough skb headroom. Currently, we are using pskb_expand_head to inconditionally increase the size of the headroom by the amount needed by the SRH (and IPv6 header). If this reallocation is performed by another CPU than the one that initially allocated the skb, then when the initial CPU kfree the skb, it will enter the __slab_free slowpath, impacting performances. This patch replaces pskb_expand_head with skb_cow_head, that will reallocate the skb head only if the headroom is not large enough.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23 This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation. Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately. Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters. Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Because sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale could be changed any time, so there is one race in tcp_win_from_space. For example, 1.sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale<=0 (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is negative now) 2.space>>(-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale) (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is postive now) As a result, tcp_win_from_space returns 0. It is unexpected. Certainly if the compiler put the sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale into one register firstly, then use the register directly, it would be ok. But we could not depend on the compiler behavior. Signed-off-by:

The PF driver is incorrectly resetting Octeon when the module parameter "fw_type=none" is there. "fw_type=none" means the PF should not load any firmware to the NIC because Octeon is already running preloaded firmware. Fix it by putting an if (fw_type != none) around the reset code. Because the Octeon reset is now conditionally gone, when unloading the driver, conditionally send the RESET_PF command to the firmware who will then free up PF-related data structures. Signed-off-by:

Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload. It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems and enable it for TCP only. By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system- 782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4 633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table is in cache. Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior. v1->v2: Change function pointer instead of adding conditional as suggested by Stephen. v2->v3: Read once in callers to avoid issues due to compiler optimizations.

Florian Fainelli authored
Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet PHY library and devices code. PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are updated to reflect that. When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is unclear. When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which are really tough to untangle.

Two different set_mac functions exists but stmmac_dwmac4_set_mac() is only used for enabling and never for disabling. So on dwmac4, the MAC RX/TX is never disabled. This patch add a generic function pointer set_mac() to stmmac_ops and replace all call to stmmac_set_mac/stmmac_dwmac4_set_mac by a call to this pointer. Since dwmac4_ops is const, set_mac cannot be modified after, and so dwmac4_ops is duplioacted like dwmac4_dma_ops. Signed-off-by:

Nikolay Aleksandrov says ==================== net: bridge: allow user-space to add ext learned entries This set adds the ability to add externally learned entries from user-space. For symmetry and proper function we need to allow SW entries to take over HW learned ones (similar to how HW can take over SW entries currently) which is needed for our use case (evpn) where we have pure SW ports and HW ports mixed in a single bridge. This does not play well with switchdev devices currently because there's no feedback when the entry is taken over, but this case has never worked anyway and feedback can be easily added when needed. Patch 02 simply allows to use NTF_EXT_LEARNED from user-space, we already have Quagga patches that make use of this functionality. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The NTF_EXT_LEARNED flag was added for switchdev and externally learned entries, but it can also be used for entries learned via a software in user-space which requires dynamic entries that do not expire. One such case that we have is with quagga and evpn which need dynamic entries but also require to age them themselves. Signed-off-by:

Replace a complex if->continue->else->break construction in i40e_next_filter. We can simply use hlist_for_each_entry_continue instead. This drops a lot of confusing code. The resulting code is much easier to understand the intention, and follows the more normal pattern for using hlist loops. We could have also used a break with a "return next" at the end of the function, instead of return NULL, but the current implementation is explicitly clear that when you reach the end of the loop you get a NULL value. The alternative construction is less clear since the reader would have to know that next is NULL at the end of the loop. Change-Id: Ife74ca451dd79d7f0d93c672bd42092d324d4a03 Signed-off-by:

Add support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool user-def field. This support is somewhat limited due to hardware design. The input set can only be programmed once per filter type, and the flexible offset is part of this filter input set. This means that the user cannot program both a regular and a flexible filter at the same time for a given flow type. Additionally, the user may not program two flexible filters of the same flow type with different offsets, although they are allowed to configure different values at that offset location. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately. Due to hardware implementation, the flexible data is offset from the start of the packet payload, and thus may not be in part of the header data. For this reason, the offset provided by the user defined data is interpreted as a byte offset from the start of the matching payload. Previous implementations have tried to represent the offset as from the start of the frame, but this is not feasible because header sizes may change due to options.

Add code to parse the user-def field into a data structure format. This code is intended to allow future extensions of the user-def field by keeping all code that actually reads and writes the field into a single location. This ensures that we do not litter the driver with references to the user-def field and minimizes the amount of bitwise operations we need to do on the data. Add code which parses the lower 32bits into a flexible word and its offset. This will be used in a future patch to enable flexible filters which can match on some arbitrary data in the packet payload. For now, we just return -EOPNOTSUPP when this is used. Add code to fill in the user-def field when reporting the filter back, even though we don't actually implement any user-def fields yet. Additionally, ensure that we mask the extended FLOW_EXT bit from the flow_type now that we will be accepting filters which have the FLOW_EXT bit set (and thus make use of the user-def field).

Do not use the user-def field for determining the VF target. Instead, similar to ixgbe, partition the ring_cookie value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number.

Also, this matches with convention used by ixgbe and other drivers. Change-Id: Ie36745186d817216b12f0313b99ec95cb8a9130c Signed-off-by:

Add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow type. Because the hardware only supports a single input set for all flows of that matching type, the driver shall only allow the input set to change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type. Thus, the first filter added for each flow type is allowed to change the input set, and all future filters must match the same input set. Display a diagnostic message whenever the filter input set changes, and a warning whenever a filter cannot be accepted because it does not match the configured input set.
