RTT cached in the TCP metrics are valuable for the initial timeout because SYN RTT usually does not account for serialization delays on low BW path. However using it to seed the RTT estimator maybe disruptive because other components (e.g., pacing) require the smooth RTT to be obtained from actual connection. The solution is to use the higher cached RTT to set the first RTO conservatively like tcp_rtt_estimator(), but avoid seeding the other RTT estimator variables such as srtt. It is also a good idea to keep RTO conservative to obtain the first RTT sample, and the performance is insured by TCP loss probe if SYN RTT is available. To keep the seeding formula consistent across SYN RTT and cached RTT, the rttvar is twice the cached RTT instead of cached RTTVAR value. The reason is because cached variation may be too small (near min RTO) which defeats the purpose of being conservative on first RTO. However the metrics still keep the RTT variations as they might be useful for user applications (through ip).

__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc. Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead. Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent. Realign arguments as appropriate.

- Uses perfect flow match (not stochastic hash like SFQ/FQ_codel) - Uses the new_flow/old_flow separation from FQ_codel - New flows get an initial credit allowing IW10 without added delay. - Special FIFO queue for high prio packets (no need for PRIO + FQ) - Uses a hash table of RB trees to locate the flows at enqueue() time - Smart on demand gc (at enqueue() time, RB tree lookup evicts old unused flows) - Dynamic memory allocations. - Designed to allow millions of concurrent flows per Qdisc. - Small memory footprint : ~8K per Qdisc, and 104 bytes per flow. - Single high resolution timer for throttled flows (if any). - One RB tree to link throttled flows. - Ability to have a max rate per flow. We might add a socket option to add per socket limitation. Attempts have been made to add TCP pacing in TCP stack, but this seems to add complex code to an already complex stack. TCP pacing is welcomed for flows having idle times, as the cwnd permits TCP stack to queue a possibly large number of packets. This removes the 'slow start after idle' choice, hitting badly large BDP flows, and applications delivering chunks of data as video streams. Nicely spaced packets : Here interface is 10Gbit, but flow bottleneck is ~20Mbit cwin is big, yet FQ avoids the typical bursts generated by TCP (as in netperf TCP_RR -- -r 100000,100000) 15:01:23.545279 IP A > B: . 78193:81089(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.545394 IP B > A: . ack 81089 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597985 1115> 15:01:23.546488 IP A > B: . 81089:83985(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.546565 IP B > A: . ack 83985 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597986 1115> 15:01:23.547713 IP A > B: . 83985:86881(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.547778 IP B > A: . ack 86881 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597987 1115> 15:01:23.548911 IP A > B: . 86881:89777(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.548949 IP B > A: . ack 89777 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597988 1115> 15:01:23.550116 IP A > B: . 89777:92673(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.550182 IP B > A: . ack 92673 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597989 1115> 15:01:23.551333 IP A > B: . 92673:95569(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.551406 IP B > A: . ack 95569 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597991 1115> 15:01:23.552539 IP A > B: . 95569:98465(2896) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.552576 IP B > A: . ack 98465 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597992 1115> 15:01:23.553756 IP A > B: . 98465:99913(1448) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.554138 IP A > B: P 99913:100001(88) ack 65248 win 3125 <nop,nop,timestamp 1115 11597805> 15:01:23.554204 IP B > A: . ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.554234 IP B > A: . 65248:68144(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.555620 IP B > A: . 68144:71040(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.557005 IP B > A: . 71040:73936(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.558390 IP B > A: . 73936:76832(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.559773 IP B > A: . 76832:79728(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597993 1115> 15:01:23.561158 IP B > A: . 79728:82624(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.562543 IP B > A: . 82624:85520(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.563928 IP B > A: . 85520:88416(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.565313 IP B > A: . 88416:91312(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.566698 IP B > A: . 91312:94208(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.568083 IP B > A: . 94208:97104(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.569467 IP B > A: . 97104:100000(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.570852 IP B > A: . 100000:102896(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.572237 IP B > A: . 102896:105792(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.573639 IP B > A: . 105792:108688(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.575024 IP B > A: . 108688:111584(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.576408 IP B > A: . 111584:114480(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> 15:01:23.577793 IP B > A: . 114480:117376(2896) ack 100001 win 3668 <nop,nop,timestamp 11597994 1115> TCP timestamps show that most packets from B were queued in the same ms timeframe (TSval 1159799{3,4}), but FQ managed to send them right in time to avoid a big burst.

Veaceslav Falico says: ==================== bonding: remove vlan special handling v1: Per Jiri's advice, remove the exported netdev_upper struct to keep it inside dev.c only, and instead implement a macro to iterate over the list and return only net_device *. v2: Jiri noted that we need to see every upper device, but not only the first level. Modify the netdev_upper logic to include a list of lower devices and for both upper/lower lists every device would see both its first-level devices and every other devices that is lower/upper of it. Also, convert some annoying spamming warnings to pr_debug in bond_arp_send_all. v3: move renaming part completely to patch 1 (did I forget to git add before commiting?) and address Jiri's input about comments/style of patch 2. v4: as Vlad found spotted, bond_arp_send_all() won't work in a config where we have a device with ip on top of our upper vlan. It fails to send packets because we don't tag the packet, while the device on top of vlan will emit tagged packets through this vlan. Fix this by first searching for all upper vlans, and for each vlan - for the devs on top of it. If we find the dev - then tag the packet with the underling's vlan_id, otherwise just search the old way - for all devices on top of bonding. Also, move the version changes under "---" so they won't get into the commit message, if/when applied. The aim of this patchset is to remove bondings' own vlan handling as much as possible and replace it with the netdev upper device functionality. The upper device functionality is extended to include also lower devices and to have, for each device, a full view of every lower and upper device, but not only the first-level ones. This might permit in the future to avoid, for any grouping/teaming/upper/lower devices, to maintain its own lists of slaves/vlans/etc. This is achieved by adding a helper function to upper dev list handling - netdev_upper_get_next_dev(dev, iter), which returns the next device after the list_head **iter, and sets *iter to the next list_head *. This patchset also adds netdev_for_each_upper_dev(dev, upper, iter), which iterates through the whole dev->upper_dev_list, setting upper to the net_device. The only special treatment of vlans remains in rlb code. This patchset solves several issues with bonding, simplifies it overall, RCUify further and exports upper list functions for any other users which might also want to get rid of its own vlan_lists or slaves. I'm testing it continuously currently, no issues found, will update on anything. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, if there are vlans on top of bond, alb_send_learning_packets() will never send LPs from the bond itself (i.e. untagged), which might leave untagged clients unupdated. Also, the 'circular vlan' logic (i.e. update only MAX_LP_BURST vlans at a time, and save the last vlan for the next update) is really suboptimal - in case of lots of vlans it will take a lot of time to update every vlan. It is also never called in any hot path and sends only a few small packets - thus the optimization by itself is useless. So remove the whole current_alb_vlan/MAX_LP_BURST logic from alb_send_learning_packets(). Instead, we'll first send a packet untagged and then traverse the upper dev list, sending a tagged packet for each vlan found. Also, remove the MAX_LP_BURST define - we already don't need it.

Currently, bond_has_this_ip() is aware only of vlan upper devices, and thus will return false if the address is associated with the upper bridge or any other device, and thus will break the arp logic. Fix this by using the upper device list. For every upper device we verify if the address associated with it is our address, and if yes - return true.

Currently, bond_arp_send_all() is aware only of vlans, which breaks configurations like bond <- bridge (or any other 'upper' device) with IP (which is quite a common scenario for virt setups). To fix this we convert the bond_arp_send_all() to first verify if the rt device is the bond itself, and if not - to go through its list of upper vlans and their respectiv upper devices (if the vlan's upper device matches - tag the packet), if still not found - go through all of our upper list devices to see if any of them match the route device for the target. If the match is a vlan device - we also save its vlan_id and tag it in bond_arp_send(). Also, clean the function a bit to be more readable.

This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same way as the upper list. It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch. There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent list, the simplest would be: /---- eth0.10 ---\ eth0- --- bond0 \---- eth0.20 ---/ where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times. To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as the number of times the device was added to the list. The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic. I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces. Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be: 128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to ixgbe. Jacob provides a fix for 82599 devices where it can potentially keep link lights up when the adapter has gone down. Mark provides a fix to resolve the possible use of uninitialized memory by checking the return value on EEPROM reads. Don provides 2 patches, one to fix a issue where we were traversing the Tx ring with the value of IXGBE_NUM_RX_QUEUES which currently happens to have the correct value but this is misleading. A change later, could easily make this no longer correct so when traversing the Tx ring, use netdev->num_tx_queues. His second patch does some minor clean ups of log messages. Emil provides the remaining ixgbe patches. First he fixes the link test where forcing the laser before the link check can lead to inconsistent results because it does not guarantee that the link will be negotiated correctly. Then he initializes the message buffer array to 0 in order to avoid using random numbers from the memory as a MAC address for the VF. Emil also fixes the read loop for the I2C data to account for the offset for SFP+ modules. Lastly, Emil provides several patches to add support for QSFP modules where 1Gbps support is added as well as support for older QSFP active direct attach cables which pre-date SFF-8436 v3.6. v2: Fixed patch 4 description and added blank line based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some slave devices may have set a dev->needed_headroom value which is different than the default one, most likely in order to prepend a hardware descriptor in front of the Ethernet frame to send. Whenever a new slave is added to a bridge, ensure that we update the needed_headroom value accordingly to account for the slave needed_headroom value.

Reduce cacheline usage from 2 to 1 cacheline for sctp_globals structure. By reordering elements, we can close gaps and simply achieve the following: Current situation: /* size: 80, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */ /* sum members: 57, holes: 4, sum holes: 16 */ /* padding: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ Afterwards: /* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 10 */ /* padding: 7 */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
