rdma_conn_param private data is copied using memcpy after headers such as cma_hdr (see cma_resolve_ib_udp as example). so the start of the private data is aligned to the end of the structure that come before. if this structure end with u32 the meaning is that the start of the private data will be 4 bytes aligned. structures that use u8/u16/u32/u64 are naturally aligned but in case the structure start is not 8 bytes aligned, all u64 members of this structure will not be aligned. to solve this issue we must use special macros that allow unaligned access to those unaligned members.

We currently limit the hash table size to 64K which is very bad as even 10 years ago it was relatively easy to generate millions of sockets. Since the hash table is naturally limited by memory allocation failure, we don't really need an explicit limit so this patch removes it.

Under presence of TSO/GSO/GRO packets, codel at low rates can be quite useless. In following example, not a single packet was ever dropped, while average delay in codel queue is ~100 ms ! qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms Sent 134376498 bytes 88797 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 13626b 3p requeues 0 count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 96.9ms drop_next 0us maxpacket 9084 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0 This comes from a confusion of what should be the minimal backlog. It is pretty clear it is not 64KB or whatever max GSO packet ever reached the qdisc. codel intent was to use MTU of the device. After the fix, we finally drop some packets, and rtt/cwnd of my single TCP flow are meeting our expectations. qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms Sent 102798497 bytes 67912 pkt (dropped 1365, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 6056b 3p requeues 0 count 1 lastcount 1 ldelay 36.3ms drop_next 0us maxpacket 10598 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Kathleen Nichols <nichols@pollere.com> Cc: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Receive packet length needs to be adjust by 2 on RX to accomodate the two padding bytes in altera_tse driver. From Vlastimil Setka. 2) If rx frame is dropped due to out of memory in macb driver, we leave the receive ring descriptors in an undefined state. From Punnaiah Choudary Kalluri 3) Some netlink subsystems erroneously signal NLM_F_MULTI. That is only for dumps. Fix from Nicolas Dichtel. 4) Fix mis-use of raw rt->rt_pmtu value in ipv4, one must always go via the ipv4_mtu() helper. From Herbert Xu. 5) Fix null deref in bridge netfilter, and miscalculated lengths in jump/goto nf_tables verdicts. From Florian Westphal. 6) Unhash ping sockets properly. 7) Software implementation of BPF divide did 64/32 rather than 64/64 bit divide. The JITs got it right.

When we end I/O struct request with error, we need to pass obj_request->length as @nr_bytes so that the entire obj_request worth of bytes is completed. Otherwise block layer ends up confused and we trip on rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request->obj_request_count)); in rbd_img_obj_callback() due to more being true no matter what. We already do it in most cases but we are missing some, in particular those where we don't even get a chance to submit any obj_requests, due to an early -ENOMEM for example. A number of obj_request->xferred assignments seem to be redundant but I haven't touched any of obj_request->xferred stuff to keep this small and isolated.

When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack. At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors, so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail.

Commit 02233342 ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check before testing clone->q->mq_ops. It was an oversight to discontinue that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone(): 1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued 2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2. However, we cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this). The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops. This avoids the need to dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an uninitialized clone request is being completed.

Commit bfebd1cd ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM") didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized. Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load (when the mapped_device type is assigned). This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core. As such the pre-existing early return in dm_init_request_based_queue() can now be removed.

In a kdump environment interfaces might be re-loaded without a proper unload sequence in the previous running kernel. bnx2x management FW and driver maintains a `pulse' that notifies the FW that the driver is still up and running. Driver load on the kdump kernel should be performed only after the pulse has been out-of-sync long enough for the management FW to identify that the driver has crashed, on which point it will perform some necessary cleanup of the HW. In today's distros kdump loading is quite fast, sometimes too fast for our FW to get out-of-sync. This patch delays the bnx2x's probe during kdump to allow a proper re-load on the kdump kernel.

By default, the number of tx queues is limited by the number of online cpus in mlx4_en_get_profile(). However, this limit no longer holds after the ethtool .set_channels method has been called. In that situation, the driver may access invalid bits of certain cpumask variables when queue_index >= nr_cpu_ids.

Currently, we try to accumulate arrived packets in the links's 'deferred' queue during the parallel link syncronization phase. This entails two problems: - With an unlucky combination of arriving packets the algorithm may go into a lockstep with the out-of-sequence handling function, where the synch mechanism is adding a packet to the deferred queue, while the out-of-sequence handling is retrieving it again, thus ending up in a loop inside the node_lock scope. - Even if this is avoided, the link will very often send out unnecessary protocol messages, in the worst case leading to redundant retransmissions. We fix this by just dropping arriving packets on the upcoming link during the synchronization phase, thus relying on the retransmission protocol to resolve the situation once the two links have arrived to a synchronized state.
