Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: emulate multicast through replication TIPC multicast messages are currently distributed via L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in the cluster, irrespective of the number of real destinations of the message. In this series we introduce an option to transport messages via replication ("replicast") across a selected number of unicast links, instead of relying on the underlying media. This option is used when true broadcast/multicast is not supported by the media, or when the number of true destinations is much smaller than the cluster size. ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.

If the bearer carrying multicast messages supports broadcast, those messages will be sent to all cluster nodes, irrespective of whether these nodes host any actual destinations socket or not. This is clearly wasteful if the cluster is large and there are only a few real destinations for the message being sent. In this commit we extend the eligibility of the newly introduced "replicast" transmit option. We now make it possible for a user to select which method he wants to be used, either as a mandatory setting via setsockopt(), or as a relative setting where we let the broadcast layer decide which method to use based on the ratio between cluster size and the message's actual number of destination nodes. In the latter case, a sending socket must stick to a previously selected method until it enters an idle period of at least 5 seconds. This eliminates the risk of message reordering caused by method change, i.e., when changes to cluster size or number of destinations would otherwise mandate a new method to be used. Reviewed-by:

TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable 'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in the cluster. When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations. We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does this. Reviewed-by:

As a further preparation for the upcoming 'replicast' functionality, we add some necessary structs and functions for looking up and returning a list of all nodes that host destinations for a given multicast message. Reviewed-by:

As a preparation for the 'replicast' functionality we are going to introduce in the next commits, we need the broadcast base structure to store whether bearer broadcast is available at all from the currently used bearer or bearers. We do this by adding a new function tipc_bearer_bcast_support() to the bearer layer, and letting the bearer selection function in bcast.c use this to give a new boolean field, 'bcast_support' the appropriate value.

Provide a simple helper with the same semantics of strncpy_from_unsafe(): int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_addr) This gives more flexibility to a bpf program. A typical use case is intercepting a file name during sys_open(). The current approach is: SEC("kprobe/sys_open") void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx) { char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256 bpf_probe_read(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di); /* consume buf */ } This is suboptimal because the size of the string needs to be estimated at compile time, causing more memory to be copied than often necessary, and can become more problematic if further processing on buf is done, for example by pushing it to userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(), since the real length of the string is unknown and the entire buffer must be copied (and defining an unrolled strnlen() inside the bpf program is a very inefficient and unfeasible approach). With the new helper, the code can easily operate on the actual string length rather than the buffer size: SEC("kprobe/sys_open") void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx) { char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256 int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di); /* consume buf, for example push it to userspace via * bpf_perf_event_output(), but this time we can use * res (the string length) as event size, after checking * its boundaries. */ } Another useful use case is when parsing individual process arguments or individual environment variables navigating current->mm->arg_start and current->mm->env_start: using this helper and the return value, one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area. The code changes simply leverage the already existent strncpy_from_unsafe() kernel function, which is safe to be called from a bpf program as it is used in bpf_trace_printk().

Phil Sutter says: ==================== Retrieve number of VFs in a bus-agnostic way Previously, it was assumed that only PCI NICs would be capable of having virtual functions - with my proposed enhancement of dummy NIC driver implementing (fake) ones for testing purposes, this is no longer true. Discussion of said patch has led to the suggestion of implementing a bus-agnostic method for VF count retrieval so rtnetlink could work with both real VF-capable PCI NICs as well as my dummy modifications without introducing ugly hacks. The following series tries to achieve just that by introducing a bus type callback to retrieve a device's number of VFs, implementing this callback for PCI bus and finally adjusting rtnetlink to make use of the generalized infrastructure. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

As using memory reserves is a must in some situations (swap over NFS or iSCSI), this patch adds this flag. Note that this driver does not reuse pages (yet) so we do not have to add anything else.

The new ARP support has pushed the stack size over the edge on ARM, as there are two large objects on the stack in this function (mask and tb) and both have now grown a bit more: net/sched/cls_flower.c: In function 'fl_change': net/sched/cls_flower.c:928:1: error: the frame size of 1072 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] We can solve this by dynamically allocating one or both of them. I first tried to do it just for the mask, but that only saved 152 bytes on ARM, while this version just does it for the 'tb' array, bringing the stack size back down to 664 bytes.

The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in commit 9f242738 ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()"). However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and some driver just update it without actually using it. Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member added in commit 4dc89133 ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx") which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However, this commend was removed in commit f8ff080d ("bonding: remove useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later on still did update last_rx. Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and smc91c92_cs) which actually read and write it to use their own private copy in netdev_priv. Compile-tested with allyesconfig and allmodconfig on x86 and arm.

We can only process 1 packet at one time during sendmsg(). This often lead bad cache utilization under heavy load. So this patch tries to do some batching during rx before submitting them to host network stack. This is done through accepting MSG_MORE as a hint from sendmsg() caller, if it was set, batch the packet temporarily in a linked list and submit them all once MSG_MORE were cleared. Tests were done by pktgen (burst=128) in guest over mlx4(noqueue) on host: Mpps -+% rx-frames = 0 0.91 +0% rx-frames = 4 1.00 +9.8% rx-frames = 8 1.00 +9.8% rx-frames = 16 1.01 +10.9% rx-frames = 32 1.07 +17.5% rx-frames = 48 1.07 +17.5% rx-frames = 64 1.08 +18.6% rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91 +0% User were allowed to change per device batched packets through ethtool -C rx-frames. NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT were used as upper limitation to prevent bh from being disabled too long. Signed-off-by:Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by:

Relax ordering(RO) is one feature of 82599 NIC, to enable this feature can enhance the performance for some cpu architecure, such as SPARC and so on. Currently it only supports one special cpu architecture(SPARC) in 82599 driver to enable RO feature, this is not very common for other cpu architecture which really needs RO feature.
