In preparation to handling system errors at the mlx5_core level, change the interface of cmd_work_handler to accept a 64 bit argument for the vector. This allows to encode a flag that signifies when the handler is called as a result of a driver logic that wishes to terminate commands that the hardware may not be able to terminate. Such command completions are detected at the handler and proper return status is encoded. To be able to terminate page handler commands, we make sure to set the corresponding bit in the bitmask.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-08 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only (again). Jesse fixes an issue where the driver was issuing a WARN_ON during ring size changes because the code was cloning the rx_ring struct but not zeroing out the pointers before allocating new memory, so simply zero out the pointers. Also reduced the function call overhead by moving the interrupt enable function by moving it to the header file, which it in turn allows us to inline it. Also does a thorough job of code cleanup to fix spaces after declarations, remove unnecessary braces and breaks, remove another __func__ use and general code tidiness. Mitch adds mover verbose error messages when the number of supported VFs is reported in driver init and it different from the number reported in config space. Updated the VF driver to now detect a reset with the VF_ARQLEN register since the enable bit is cleared when the VF is reset and it stays cleared until the VF driver processes the reset and re-enables the admin queue which is more reliable than using the VFGEN_RSTAT as previously. Neerav adds parsing for CEE DCBx TLVs from the LLDP MIB since there is a need to get the CEE DesiredCfg Tx by firmware and DCB configuration Rx from peer for debug and other application purposes. Carolyn fixes a problem where the PF's Flow Director filter table would have an entry that the hardware was unable to add, when this occurs an invalid entry gets replayed and a valid one is lost. Matt fixes an issue where multiple link up messages can be logged resulting from admin queue link status timing when link properties are changed. Shannon adds the ability to control the period link polling through ethtool to be able to switch it off and on for debugging link issues. Serey explicitly assigns the enum index for each VSI type so that the PF and VF always reference to the same VSI type event if the enum lists are different. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Using VFGEN_RSTAT to detect a VF reset is an endeavor that is fraught with peril. It's entirely too easy to miss a reset because none of the bits are sticky. By the time the VF driver reads the register, the reset may have been processed and cleaned up by the PF driver, leaving the register in the same state that it was before the reset. Instead, detect a reset with the VF_ARQLEN register. When the VF is reset, the enable bit in this register is cleared, and it stays cleared until the VF driver processes the reset and re-enables the admin queue. Because we now deal with multiple registers in the reset and watchdog tasks, rename the rstat_val variable to reg_val.

This patch fixes a problem where the PF's fdir filter table would have an entry that the hw was unable to add.

Under certain circumstances, the device may not have enough resources to enable all of the VFs that it advertises in config space. Although the number of supported VFs is reported upon driver init, it is not obvious when this is different from the number reported in config space. To eliminate this confusion, add an error message explaining the problem. Additionally, move the 'Allocating VFs' message down below the error checks so as to prevent further confusion.

Daniel Borkmann authored
While recently arguing on a seccomp discussion that raw prandom_u32() access shouldn't be exposed to unpriviledged user space, I forgot the fact that SKF_AD_RANDOM extension actually already does it for some time in cBPF via commit 4cd3675e ("filter: added BPF random opcode"). Since prandom_u32() is being used in a lot of critical networking code, lets be more conservative and split their states. Furthermore, consolidate eBPF and cBPF prandom handlers to use the new internal PRNG. For eBPF, bpf_get_prandom_u32() was only accessible for priviledged users, but should that change one day, we also don't want to leak raw sequences through things like eBPF maps. One thought was also to have own per bpf_prog states, but due to ABI reasons this is not easily possible, i.e. the program code currently cannot access bpf_prog itself, and copying the rnd_state to/from the stack scratch space whenever a program uses the prng seems not really worth the trouble and seems too hacky. If needed, taus113 could in such cases be implemented within eBPF using a map entry to keep the state space, or get_random_bytes() could become a second helper in cases where performance would not be critical. Both sides can trigger a one-time late init via prandom_init_once() on the shared state. Performance-wise, there should even be a tiny gain as bpf_user_rnd_u32() saves one function call. The PRNG needs to live inside the BPF core since kernels could have a NET-less config as well.

Add a prandom_init_once() facility that works on the rnd_state, so that users that are keeping their own state independent from prandom_u32() can initialize their taus113 per cpu states. The motivation here is similar to net_get_random_once(): initialize the state as late as possible in the hope that enough entropy has been collected for the seeding. prandom_init_once() makes use of the recently introduced prandom_seed_full_state() helper and is generic enough so that it could also be used on fast-paths due to the DO_ONCE().

Make the get_random_once() helper generic enough, so that functions in general would only be called once, where one user of this is then net_get_random_once(). The only implementation specific call is to get_random_bytes(), all the rest of this *_once() facility would be duplicated among different subsystems otherwise. The new DO_ONCE() helper will be used by prandom() later on, but might also be useful for other scenarios/subsystems as well where a one-time initialization in often-called, possibly fast path code could occur.

Commit deaa0a6a ("net: Lookup actual route when oif is VRF device") exposed a bug in __ip_route_output_key_hash for VRF devices: on FIB lookup failure if the oif is specified the current logic drops to make_route on the assumption that the route tables are wrong. For VRF/L3 master devices this leads to wrong dst entries and route lookups. For example: $ ip route ls table vrf-red unreachable default broadcast 10.2.1.0 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 10.2.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 local 10.2.1.2 dev eth1 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.1.2 broadcast 10.2.1.255 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2 $ ip route get oif vrf-red 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.1 dev vrf-red src 10.0.0.2 cache With this patch: $ ip route get oif vrf-red 1.1.1.1 RTNETLINK answers: No route to host which is the correct response based on the default route Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Santosh Shilimkar says: ==================== RDS: connection scalability and performance improvements [v4] Re-sending the same patches from v3 again since my repost of patch 05/14 from v3 was whitespace damaged. [v3] Updated patch "[PATCH v2 05/14] RDS: defer the over_batch work to send worker" as per David Miller's comment [4] to avoid the magic value usage. Patch now makes use of already available but unused send_batch_count module parameter. Rest of the patches are same as earlier version v2 [3] [v2]: Dropped "[PATCH 05/15] RDS: increase size of hash-table to 8K" from earlier version [1]. I plan to address the hash table scalability using re-sizable hash tables as suggested by David Laight and David Miller [2] This series addresses RDS connection bottlenecks on massive workloads and improve the RDMA performance almost by 3X. RDS TCP also gets a small gain of about 12%. RDS is being used in massive systems with high scalability where several hundred thousand end points and tens of thousands of local processes are operating in tens of thousand sockets. Being RC(reliable connection), socket bind and release happens very often and any inefficiencies in bind hash look ups hurts the overall system performance. RDS bin hash-table uses global spin-lock which is the biggest bottleneck. To make matter worst, it uses rcu inside global lock for hash buckets. This is being addressed by simply using per bucket rw lock which makes the locking simple and very efficient. The hash table size is still an issue and I plan to address it by using re-sizable hash tables as suggested on the list. For RDS RDMA improvement, the completion handling is revamped so that we can do batch completions. Both send and receive completion handlers are split logically to achieve the same. RDS 8K messages being one of the key usecase, mr pool is adapted to have the 8K mrs along with default 1M mrs. And while doing this, few fixes and couple of bottlenecks seen with rds_sendmsg() are addressed. Series applies against 4.3-rc1 as well net-next. Its tested on Oracle hardware with IB fabric for both bcopy as well as RDMA mode. RDS TCP is tested with iXGB NIC. Like last time, iWARP transport is untested with these changes. The patchset is also available at below git repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ssantosh/linux.git net/rds/4.3-v3 As a side note, the IB HCA driver I used for testing misses at least 3 important patches in upstream to see the full blown IB performance and am hoping to get that in mainline with help of them. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== net: Pass net through the output path v2 This is the next installment of my work to pass struct net through the output path so the code does not need to guess how to figure out which network namespace it is in, and ultimately routes can have output devices in another network namespace. The first patch in this series is a fix for a bug that came in when sk was passed through the functions in the output path, and as such is probably a candidate for net. At the same time my later patches depend on it so sending the fix separately would be confusing. The second patch in this series is another fix that for an issue that came in when sk was passed through the output path. I don't think it needs a backport as I don't think anyone uses the path where the code was incorrect. The rest of the patchset focuses on the path from xxx_local_out to dst_output and in the end succeeds in passing sock_net(sk) from the socket a packet locally originates on to the dst->output function. Given the size reduction in the code I think this counts as a cleanup as much as feature work. There remain a number of helper functions (like ip option processing) to take care of before the network stack can support destination devices in other network namespaces but with this set of changes the backbone of the work is done. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
