      ====================
      net: return offloaded stats as default and expose original sw stats
      
      The problem we try to handle is about offloaded forwarded packets
      which are not seen by kernel. Let me try to draw it:
      
          port1                       port2 (HW stats are counted here)
            \                          /
             \                        /
              \                      /
               --(A)---- ASIC --(B)--
                          |
                         (C)
                          |
                         CPU (SW stats are counted here)
      
      Now we have couple of flows for TX and RX (direction does not matter here):
      
      1) port1->A->ASIC->C->CPU
      
         For this flow, HW and SW stats are equal.
      
      2) port1->A->ASIC->C->CPU->C->ASIC->B->port2
      
         For this flow, HW and SW stats are equal.
      
      3) port1->A->ASIC->B->port2
      
         For this flow, SW stats are 0.
      
      The purpose of this patchset is to provide facility for user to
      find out the difference between flows 1+2 and 3. In other words, user
      will be able to see the statistics for the slow-path (through kernel).
      
      Also note that HW stats are what someone calls "accumulated" stats.
      Every packet counted by SW is also counted by HW. Not the other way around.
      
      As a default the accumulated stats (HW) will be exposed to user
      so the userspace apps can react properly.
      
      This patchset add the SW stats (flows 1+2) under offload related stats, so
      in the future we can expose other offload related stat in a similar way.

      netdevice: Add offload statistics ndo · 2c9d85d4
      Nogah Frankel authored
      Add a new ndo to return statistics for offloaded operation.
      Since there can be many different offloaded operation with many
      stats types, the ndo gets an attribute id by which it knows which
      stats are wanted. The ndo also gets a void pointer to be cast according
      to the attribute id.

      openvswitch: use percpu flow stats · db74a333
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
      Instead of using flow stats per NUMA node, use it per CPU. When using
      megaflows, the stats lock can be a bottleneck in scalability.
      
      On a E5-2690 12-core system, usual throughput went from ~4Mpps to
      ~15Mpps when forwarding between two 40GbE ports with a single flow
      configured on the datapath.
      
      This has been tested on a system with possible CPUs 0-7,16-23. After
      module removal, there were no corruption on the slab cache.

      openvswitch: fix flow stats accounting when node 0 is not possible · 40773966
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
      On a system with only node 1 as possible, all statistics is going to be
      accounted on node 0 as it will have a single writer.
      
      However, when getting and clearing the statistics, node 0 is not going
      to be considered, as it's not a possible node.
      
      Tested that statistics are not zero on a system with only node 1
      possible. Also compile-tested with CONFIG_NUMA off.

      sctp: not return ENOMEM err back in sctp_packet_transmit · 41001faf
      Xin Long authored
      As David and Marcelo's suggestion, ENOMEM err shouldn't return back to
      user in transmit path. Instead, sctp's retransmit would take care of
      the chunks that fail to send because of ENOMEM.
      
      This patch is only to do some release job when alloc_skb fails, not to
      return ENOMEM back any more.
      
      Besides, it also cleans up sctp_packet_transmit's err path, and fixes
      some issues in err path:
      
       - It didn't free the head skb in nomem: path.
       - No need to check nskb in no_route: path.
       - It should goto err: path if alloc_skb fails for head.
       - Not all the NOMEMs should free nskb.

      sctp: save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush · 64519440
      Xin Long authored
      Every time when sctp calls sctp_outq_flush, it sends out the chunks of
      control queue, retransmit queue and data queue. Even if some trunks are
      failed to transmit, it still has to flush all the transports, as it's
      the only chance to clean that transmit_list.
      
      So the latest transmit error here should be returned back. This transmit
      error is an internal error of sctp stack.
      
      I checked all the places where it uses the transmit error (the return
      value of sctp_outq_flush), most of them are actually just save it to
      sk_err.
      
      Except for sctp_assoc/endpoint_bh_rcv, they will drop the chunk if
      it's failed to send a REPLY, which is actually incorrect, as we can't
      be sure the error that sctp_outq_flush returns is from sending that
      REPLY.
      
      So it's meaningless for sctp_outq_flush to return error back.
      
      This patch is to save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush, the
      new error can update the old value. Eventually, sctp_wait_for_* would
      check for it.

      sctp: free msg->chunks when sctp_primitive_SEND return err · b61c654f
      Xin Long authored
      Last patch "sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg"
      made sctp_primitive_SEND return err only when asoc state is unavailable.
      In this case, chunks are not enqueued, they have no chance to be freed if
      we don't take care of them later.
      
      This Patch is actually to revert commit 1cd4d5c4 ("sctp: remove the
      unused sctp_datamsg_free()"), commit 69b5777f ("sctp: hold the chunks
      only after the chunk is enqueued in outq") and commit 8b570dc9 ("sctp:
      only drop the reference on the datamsg after sending a msg"), to use
      sctp_datamsg_free to free the chunks of current msg.

      sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg · 66388f2c
      Xin Long authored
      Once a chunk is enqueued successfully, sctp queues can take care of it.
      Even if it is failed to transmit (like because of nomem), it should be
      put into retransmit queue.
      
      If sctp report this error to users, it confuses them, they may resend
      that msg, but actually in kernel sctp stack is in charge of retransmit
      it already.
      
      Besides, this error probably is not from the failure of transmitting
      current msg, but transmitting or retransmitting another msg's chunks,
      as sctp_outq_flush just tries to send out all transports' chunks.
      
      This patch is to make sctp_cmd_send_msg return avoid, and not return the
      transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg

      sctp: remove the unnecessary state check in sctp_outq_tail · 2c89791e
      Xin Long authored
      Data Chunks are only sent by sctp_primitive_SEND, in which sctp checks
      the asoc's state through statetable before calling sctp_outq_tail. So
      there's no need to check the asoc's state again in sctp_outq_tail.
      
      Besides, sctp_do_sm is protected by lock_sock, even if sending msg is
      interrupted by timer events, the event's processes still need to acquire
      lock_sock first. It means no others CMDs can be enqueue into side effect
      list before CMD_SEND_MSG to change asoc->state, so it's safe to remove it.
      
      This patch is to remove redundant asoc->state check from sctp_outq_tail.

      the test creates 3 namespaces with veth connected via bridge.
      First two namespaces simulate two different hosts with the same
      IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured on the tunnel interface and they
      communicate with outside world via standard tunnels.
      Third namespace creates collect_md tunnel that is driven by BPF
      program which selects different remote host (either first or
      second namespace) based on tcp dest port number while tcp dst
      ip is the same.
      This scenario is rough approximation of load balancer use case.

      tcp: prepare skbs for better sack shifting · 3613b3db
      Eric Dumazet authored
      With large BDP TCP flows and lossy networks, it is very important
      to keep a low number of skbs in the write queue.
      
      RACK and SACK processing can perform a linear scan of it.
      
      We should avoid putting any payload in skb->head, so that SACK
      shifting can be done if needed.
      
      With this patch, we allow to pack ~0.5 MB per skb instead of
      the 64KB initially cooked at tcp_sendmsg() time.
      
      This gives a reduction of number of skbs in write queue by eight.
      tcp_rack_detect_loss() likes this.
      
      We still allow payload in skb->head for first skb put in the queue,
      to not impact RPC workloads.

      ====================
      mlx5e Order-0 pages for Striding RQ
      
      In this series, we refactor our Striding RQ receive-flow to always use
      fragmented WQEs (Work Queue Elements) using order-0 pages, omitting the
      flow that allocates and splits high-order pages which would fragment
      and deplete high-order pages in the system.
      
      The first patch gives a slight degradation, but opens the opportunity
      to using a simple page-cache mechanism of a fair size.
      The page-cache, implemented in patch 3, not only closes the performance
      gap but even gives a gain.
      In patch 2 we re-organize the code to better manage the calls for
      alloc/de-alloc pages in the RX flow.

      net/mlx5e: Implement RX mapped page cache for page recycle · 4415a031
      Tariq Toukan authored
      Instead of reallocating and mapping pages for RX data-path,
      recycle already used pages in a per ring cache.
      
      Performance tests:
      The following results were measured on a freshly booted system,
      giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to
      be fragmented and depleted.
      
      We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop:
      
      Single stride, 64 bytes:
      * 4,739,057 - baseline
      * 4,749,550 - order0 no cache
      * 4,786,899 - order0 with cache
      1% gain
      
      Larger packets, no page cross, 1024 bytes:
      * 3,982,361 - baseline
      * 3,845,682 - order0 no cache
      * 4,127,852 - order0 with cache
      3.7% gain

      net/mlx5e: Single flow order-0 pages for Striding RQ · 7e426671
      Tariq Toukan authored
      To improve the memory consumption scheme, we omit the flow that
      demands and splits high-order pages in Striding RQ, and stay
      with a single Striding RQ flow that uses order-0 pages.
      
      Moving to fragmented memory allows the use of larger MPWQEs,
      which reduces the number of UMR posts and filler CQEs.
      
      Moving to a single flow allows several optimizations that improve
      performance, especially in production servers where we would
      anyway fallback to order-0 allocations:
      - inline functions that were called via function pointers.
      - improve the UMR post process.
      
      This patch alone is expected to give a slight performance reduction.
      However, the new memory scheme gives the possibility to use a page-cache
      of a fair size, that doesn't inflate the memory footprint, which will
      dramatically fix the reduction and even give a performance gain.
      
      Performance tests:
      The following results were measured on a freshly booted system,
      giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to
      be fragmented and depleted.
      
      We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop:

      Larger packets, no page cross, 1024 bytes:
      * 3,982,361 - baseline

      3.5% reduction
      
      Larger packets, every 3rd packet crosses a page, 1500 bytes:
      * 3,731,189 - baseline
      * 3,579,414 - this patch
