For VF->VF and uplink->VF rules, the TC core (cls_api) attempts to offload the same flow multiple times into the driver, b/c we registered to the egdev callback. Use the flow cookie to ignore attempts to add such flows, we can't reject them (return error), b/c this will fail the offload attempt, so we ignore that. We indentify wrong stat/del calls using the flow ingress/egress flags, here we do return error to the core.

Currently, each representor netdev use their own hash table to keep the mapping from TC flow (f->cookie) to the driver offloaded instance. The table is the one which originally was added for offloading TC NIC (not eswitch) rules. This scheme breaks when the core TC code calls us to add the same flow twice, (e.g under egdev use case) since we don't spot that and offload a 2nd flow into the HW with the wrong source vport. As a pre-step to solve that, we move to use a single table which keeps all offloaded TC eswitch flows. The table is located at the eswitch uplink representor object.

When an e-switch TC rule is offloaded through the egdev (egress device) mechanism, we treat this as egress, all other cases (NIC and e-switch) are considred ingress. This is preparation step that will allow us to identify "wrong" stat/del offload calls made by the TC core on egdev based flows and ignore them.

mlx5-updates-2018-05-17 mlx5 core dirver updates for both net-next and rdma-next branches. From Christophe JAILLET, first three patches to use kvfree where needed. From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Next six patches from Roi and Co adds support for merged sriov e-switch which comes to serve cases where both PFs, VFs set on them and both uplinks are to be used in single v-switch SW model. When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs. This model allows to offload TC eswitch rules between VFs belonging to different PFs (and hence have different eswitch affinity), it also sets the some of the foundations needed for uplink LAG support.

The source e-switch owner allows a vport on one e-switch port be associated with a rule defined on the second port e-switch. The role of the source eswitch owner valid bit in the flow group is to allow the firmware fail driver attempts to wild card the source eswitch match field. If this bit is not set, the firmware ignores the source eswitch owner field totally.

When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs. Under merged eswitch, both the matching on source vport and setting destination vport can have a 2nd attribute which is the vhca id of the eswitch owner. For example: esw0: {match: <src vport=1 owner=0> action: fwd to <dst vport=7, owner=1>} is a flow set on eswitch0 matching on source vport=1 from his eswitch and the action being fwd to dest vport=7 of eswitch1.

This patch makes use of build_skb() throughout in driver's receieve data path [HW gro flow and non HW gro flow]. With this, driver can build skb directly from the page segments which are already mapped to the hardware instead of allocating new SKB via netdev_alloc_skb() and memcpy the data which is quite costly. This really improves performance (keeping same or slight gain in rx throughput) in terms of CPU utilization which is significantly reduced [almost half] in non HW gro flow where for every incoming MTU sized packet driver had to allocate skb, memcpy headers etc. Additionally in that flow, it also gets rid of bunch of additional overheads [eth_get_headlen() etc.] to split headers and data in the skb.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-05-17 This series contains updates to ixgbe, ixgbevf and ice drivers. Cathy Zhou resolves sparse warnings by using the force attribute. Mauro S M Rodrigues fixes a bug where IRQs were not freed if a PCI error recovery system opts to remove the device which causes ixgbe_io_error_detected() to return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT before calling ixgbe_close_suspend() which results in IRQs not freed and crashing when the remove handler calls pci_disable_device(). Resolved this by calling ixgbe_close_suspend() before evaluating the PCI channel state. Pavel Tatashin releases the rtnl_lock during the call to ixgbe_close_suspend() to allow scaling if device_shutdown() is multi-threaded. Emil modifies ixgbe to not validate the MAC address during a reset, unless the MAC was set on the host so that the VF will get a new MAC address every time it reloads. Also updates ixgbevf to set hw->mac.perm_addr in order to retain the custom MAC on a reset. Anirudh updates the ice NVM read/erase/update AQ commands to align with the latest specification. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Antoine Tenart says: ==================== net: mvpp2: phylink conversion This series convert the Marvell PPv2 driver to phylink (models the MAC to PHY link). One important point is the PPv2 driver supports two probe modes: device tree and ACPI. This series only brings phylink support for the device tree mode, as the ACPI one will need further work. Still, the driver should be working as before when using ACPI. This split should be temporary, and was discussed with Marcin (in Cc.) who added ACPI support to the driver. Also as the SFP cages on both DB boards can be considered as non-wired. We thus chose not to describe those SFP cages and we use fixed-link. The rest of the series uses phylink to add support for 1000BaseX and 2500BaseX modes in the PPv2 driver. To do this, two patches are needed in the common PHY framework (patches 3 and 4). The last 4 patches modify the device tree to use the new PPv2 functionalities. The series has been tested for the device tree mode on the 7040-db, 8040-db and 8040-mcbin boards, to ensure all the interface where working as expected. @Dave: patches 7 to 10 should go through the mvebu tree (Gregory in Cc.) to avoid any conflict with the other mvebu dt patches taken during this cycle. The series is based on today's net-next. Since v2: - Removed the SFP description from the DB boards, as their SFP cages are wired properly. We now use fixed-link. - Because of this rework, split the series in two, so that the SFP part is reviewed separately. - Small fixes in the phylink patch. - Rebased on the latest net-next branch. Since v1: - Chose a different approach to the SFP changes, as the previous ones weren't valid and reworked both BD boards device trees. - Misc fixes. - Added Kishon's acked-by on one patch. - Rebaed on latest net-next branch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Convert the PPv2 driver to implement phylink helpers, and use phylink in DT mode. The other mode supported is ACPI, which will need further work in order to be entirely compatible with phylink. The MAC and GoP configuration functions were completely moved to fit into the phylink helpers. When a PHY is always present between the MAC and the physical port, phylink only is used, but when this is not the case (the MAC directly is connected to the physical port) the link IRQ is used to detect changes in the link state and call phylink_mac_change. The ACPI mode do not uses phylink as of now, and the changes shouldn't impact its use. Signed-off-by: Antoine Tenart <antoine.tenart@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Yuchung Cheng says: ==================== tcp: default RACK loss recovery This patch set implements the features correspond to the draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-03 version of the RACK draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/slides-101-tcpm-update-on-tcp-rack-00 1. SACK: implement equivalent DUPACK threshold heuristic in RACK to replace existing RFC6675 recovery (tcp_mark_head_lost). 2. Non-SACK: simplify RFC6582 NewReno implementation 3. RTO: apply RACK's time-based approach to avoid spuriouly marking very recently sent packets lost. 4. with (1)(2)(3), make RACK the exclusive fast recovery mechanism to mark losses based on time on S/ACK. Tail loss probe and F-RTO remain enabled by default as complementary mechanisms to send probes in CA_Open and CA_Loss states. The probes would solicit S/ACKs to trigger RACK time-based loss detection. All Google web and internal servers have been running RACK-only mode (4) for a while now. a/b experiments indicate RACK/TLP on average reduces recovery latency by 10% compared to RFC6675. RFC6675 is default-off now but can be enabled by disabling RACK (sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery=0) for unseen issues. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

An RTO event indicates the head has not been acked for a long time after its last (re)transmission. But the other packets are not necessarily lost if they have been only sent recently (for example due to application limit). This patch would prohibit marking packets sent within an RTT to be lost on RTO event, using similar logic in TCP RACK detection. Normally the head (SND.UNA) would be marked lost since RTO should fire strictly after the head was sent. An exception is when the most recent RACK RTT measurement is larger than the (previous) RTO. To address this exception the head is always marked lost. Congestion control interaction: since we may not mark every packet lost, the congestion window may be more than 1 (inflight plus 1). But only one packet will be retransmitted after RTO, since tcp_retransmit_timer() calls tcp_retransmit_skb(...,segs=1). The connection still performs slow start from one packet (with Cubic congestion control). This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web servers, and showed a reduction of 2% in (spurious) retransmits post timeout (SlowStartRetrans), and correspondingly reduced DSACKs (DSACKIgnoredOld) by 7%.
