      liquidio: remove/replace invalid code · b229487b
      Rick Farrington authored
      Remove invalid call to dma_sync_single_for_cpu() because previous DMA
      allocation was coherent--not streaming.  Remove code that references fields
      in struct list_head; replace it with calls to list_empty() and
      list_first_entry().  Also, add comment to clarify complicated if statement.

      netem: apply correct delay when rate throttling · 5080f39e
      Nik Unger authored
      I recently reported on the netem list that iperf network benchmarks
      show unexpected results when a bandwidth throttling rate has been
      configured for netem. Specifically:
      
      1) The measured link bandwidth *increases* when a higher delay is added
      2) The measured link bandwidth appears higher than the specified limit
      3) The measured link bandwidth for the same very slow settings varies significantly across
        machines
      
      The issue can be reproduced by using tc to configure netem with a
      512kbit rate and various (none, 1us, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms) delays on a
      veth pair between network namespaces, and then using iperf (or any
      other network benchmarking tool) to test throughput. Complete detailed
      instructions are in the original email chain here:
      https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/netem/2017-February/001672.html
      
      There appear to be two underlying bugs causing these effects:
      
      - The first issue causes long delays when the rate is slow and no
        delay is configured (e.g., "rate 512kbit"). This is because SKBs are
        not orphaned when no delay is configured, so orphaning does not
        occur until *after* the rate-induced delay has been applied. For
        this reason, adding a tiny delay (e.g., "rate 512kbit delay 1us")
        dramatically increases the measured bandwidth.
      
      - The second issue is that rate-induced delays are not correctly
        applied, allowing SKB delays to occur in parallel. The indended
        approach is to compute the delay for an SKB and to add this delay to
        the end of the current queue. However, the code does not detect
        existing SKBs in the queue due to improperly testing sch->q.qlen,
        which is nonzero even when packets exist only in the
        rbtree. Consequently, new SKBs do not wait for the current queue to
        empty. When packet delays vary significantly (e.g., if packet sizes
        are different), then this also causes unintended reordering.
      
      I modified the code to expect a delay (and orphan the SKB) when a rate
      is configured. I also added some defensive tests that correctly find
      the latest scheduled delivery time, even if it is (unexpectedly) for a
      packet in sch->q. I have tested these changes on the latest kernel
      (4.11.0-rc1+) and the iperf / ping test results are as expected.

      This patchset fixes this by adding ageing_time_min and ageing_time_max
      fields to the dsa_switch structure, which can optionally be set by a DSA
      driver.
      
      If provided, the DSA core will check for out-of-range values in the
      SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_AGEING_TIME prepare phase and return -ERANGE
      accordingly.
      
      Finally set these limits in the mv88e6xxx driver.

      If a DSA switch driver cannot program an ageing time value due to it

      To fix this, add ageing_time_min and ageing_time_max members to the

      supported ageing time limits.
      
      The DSA core will now check for provided ageing time limits and return

      Alexander Duyck says:
      
      ====================
      Add support for passing more information in mqprio offload
      
      This patch series lays the groundwork for future work to allow us to make
      full use of the mqprio options when offloading them to hardware.
      
      Currently when we specify the hardware offload for mqprio the queue
      configuration is completely ignored and the hardware is only notified of
      the total number of traffic classes.  The problem is this leads to multiple
      issues, one specific issue being you can pass the queue configuration you
      want and it is totally ignored by the hardware.
      
      What I am planning to do is add support for "hw" values in the
      configuration greater than 1.  So for example we might have one mode of
      mqprio offload that uses 1 and only offloads the TC counts like we
      currently do.  Then we might look at adding an option 2 which would factor
      in the TCs and the queue count information. This way we can select between
      the type of offload we actually want and existing drivers that don't
      support this can just fall back to their legacy configuration.

      mqprio: Modify mqprio to pass user parameters via ndo_setup_tc. · 56f36acd
      Amritha Nambiar authored
      The configurable priority to traffic class mapping and the user specified
      queue ranges are used to configure the traffic class, overriding the
      hardware defaults when the 'hw' option is set to 0. However, when the 'hw'
      option is non-zero, the hardware QOS defaults are used.
      
      This patch makes it so that we can pass the data the user provided to
      ndo_setup_tc. This allows us to pull in the queue configuration if the
      user requested it as well as any additional hardware offload type
      requested by using a value other than 1 for the hw value.
      
      Finally it also provides a means for the device driver to return the level
      supported for the offload type via the qopt->hw value. Previously we were
      just always assuming the value to be 1, in the future values beyond just 1
      may be supported.

      mqprio: Change handling of hw u8 to allow for multiple hardware offload modes · 2026fecf
      Alexander Duyck authored
      This patch is meant to allow for support of multiple hardware offload type
      for a single device. There is currently no bounds checking for the hw
      member of the mqprio_qopt structure.  This results in us being able to pass
      values from 1 to 255 with all being treated the same.  On retreiving the
      value it is returned as 1 for anything 1 or greater being set.
      
      With this change we are currently adding limited bounds checking by
      defining an enum and using those values to limit the reported hardware
      offloads.
