      net: sctp: fix ABI mismatch through sctp_assoc_to_state helper · 38ab1fa9
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      Since SCTP day 1, that is, 19b55a2af145 ("Initial commit") from lksctp
tree, the official <netinet/sctp.h> header carries a copy of enum
sctp_sstat_state that looks like (compared to the current in-kernel
enumeration):

  User definition:                     Kernel definition:

  enum sctp_sstat_state {              typedef enum {
    SCTP_EMPTY             = 0,          <removed>
    SCTP_CLOSED            = 1,          SCTP_STATE_CLOSED            = 0,
    SCTP_COOKIE_WAIT       = 2,          SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_WAIT       = 1,
    SCTP_COOKIE_ECHOED     = 3,          SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_ECHOED     = 2,
    SCTP_ESTABLISHED       = 4,          SCTP_STATE_ESTABLISHED       = 3,
    SCTP_SHUTDOWN_PENDING  = 5,          SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING  = 4,
    SCTP_SHUTDOWN_SENT     = 6,          SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT     = 5,
    SCTP_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 7,          SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 6,
    SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 8,          SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 7,
  };                                   } sctp_state_t;

This header was later on also placed into the uapi, so that user space
programs can compile without having <netinet/sctp.h>, but the shipped
with <linux/sctp.h> instead.

While RFC6458 under 8.2.1.Association Status (SCTP_STATUS) says that
sstat_state can range from SCTP_CLOSED to SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT, we
nevertheless have a what it appears to be dummy SCTP_EMPTY state from
the very early days.

While it seems to do just nothing, commit 0b8f9e25 ("sctp: remove
completely unsed EMPTY state") did the right thing and removed this dead
code. That however, causes an off-by-one when the user asks the SCTP
stack via SCTP_STATUS API and checks for the current socket state thus
yielding possibly undefined behaviour in applications as they expect
the kernel to tell the right thing.

The enumeration had to be changed however as based on the current socket
state, we access a function pointer lookup-table through this. Therefore,
I think the best way to deal with this is just to add a helper function
sctp_assoc_to_state() to encapsulate the off-by-one quirk.

      net: attempt a single high order allocation · d9b2938a
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      In commit ed98df33 ("net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order
allocations") we tried to address one issue caused by order-3
allocations.

We still observe high latencies and system overhead in situations where
compaction is not successful.

Instead of trying order-3, order-2, and order-1, do a single order-3
best effort and immediately fallback to plain order-0.

This mimics slub strategy to fallback to slab min order if the high
order allocation used for performance failed.

Order-3 allocations give a performance boost only if they can be done
without recurring and expensive memory scan.

Quoting David :

The page allocator relies on synchronous (sync light) memory compaction
after direct reclaim for allocations that don't retry and deferred
compaction doesn't work with this strategy because the allocation order
is always decreasing from the previous failed attempt.

This means sync light compaction will always be encountered if memory
cannot be defragmented or reclaimed several times during the
skb_page_frag_refill() iteration.

====================
Setup mlx4 user space Ethernet QPs to properly handle VXLAN

This short series fixes the mlx4 driver setting of user space Ethernet QPs
(e.g those opened by DPDK applications) such that they will properly handle
VXLAN traffic/offloads

      mlx4: Set user-space raw Ethernet QPs to properly handle VXLAN traffic · d2fce8a9
      Or Gerlitz authored 
      Raw Ethernet QPs opened from user-space lack the proper setup to
recieve/handle VXLAN traffic when VXLAN offloads are enabled.

Fix that by adding a tunnel steering rule on top of the normal unicast
steering rule and set the tunnel_type field in the QP context.

      net/mlx4: Move the tunnel steering helper function to mlx4_core · b95089d0
      Or Gerlitz authored 
      Move the function which we use to set VXLAN DMFS (flow-steering) rules
from mlx4_en to mlx4_core. This refactoring will allow the mlx4_ib driver
to call the helper for the use case of user-space RAW Ethernet QPs, such
that they can serve VXLAN traffic too.
