      sfc: use budget for TX completions · 4aaf2c52
      Íñigo Huguet authored 
      When running workloads heavy unbalanced towards TX (high TX, low RX
traffic), sfc driver can retain the CPU during too long times. Although
in many cases this is not enough to be visible, it can affect
performance and system responsiveness.

A way to reproduce it is to use a debug kernel and run some parallel
netperf TX tests. In some systems, this will lead to this message being
logged:
  kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 22s!

The reason is that sfc driver doesn't account any NAPI budget for the TX
completion events work. With high-TX/low-RX traffic, this makes that the
CPU is held for long time for NAPI poll.

Documentations says "drivers can process completions for any number of Tx
packets but should only process up to budget number of Rx packets".
However, many drivers do limit the amount of TX completions that they
process in a single NAPI poll.

In the same way, this patch adds a limit for the TX work in sfc. With
the patch applied, the watchdog warning never appears.

Tested with netperf in different combinations: single process / parallel
processes, TCP / UDP and different sizes of UDP messages. Repeated the
tests before and after the patch, without any noticeable difference in
network or CPU performance.

Test hardware:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v4 @ 3.50GHz (4 cores, 2 threads/core)
Solarflare Communications XtremeScale X2522-25G Network Adapter

Fixes: 5227eccc ("sfc: remove tx and MCDI handling from NAPI budget consideration")
Fixes: d19a5372 ("sfc_ef100: TX path for EF100 NICs")

====================
Check if FIPS mode is enabled when running selftests

Some test cases from net/tls, net/fcnal-test and net/vrf-xfrm-tests
that rely on cryptographic functions to work and use non-compliant FIPS
algorithms fail in FIPS mode.

In order to allow these tests to pass in a wider set of kernels,
 - for net/tls, skip the test variants that use the ChaCha20-Poly1305
and SM4 algorithms, when FIPS mode is enabled;
 - for net/fcnal-test, skip the MD5 tests, when FIPS mode is enabled;
 - for net/vrf-xfrm-tests, replace the algorithms that are not
FIPS-compliant with compliant ones.

      selftests: net: vrf-xfrm-tests: change authentication and encryption algos · cb43c60e
      Magali Lemes authored 
      The vrf-xfrm-tests tests use the hmac(md5) and cbc(des3_ede)
algorithms for performing authentication and encryption, respectively.
This causes the tests to fail when fips=1 is set, since these algorithms
are not allowed in FIPS mode. Therefore, switch from hmac(md5) and
cbc(des3_ede) to hmac(sha1) and cbc(aes), which are FIPS compliant.

      selftests/harness: allow tests to be skipped during setup · 372b304c
      Magali Lemes authored 
      Before executing each test from a fixture, FIXTURE_SETUP is run once.
When SKIP is used in FIXTURE_SETUP, the setup function returns early
but the test still proceeds to run, unless another SKIP macro is used
within the test definition, leading to some code repetition. Therefore,
allow tests to be skipped directly from the setup function.

  We have no known problems with v6.4.

  The selftest changes are rather large as MPTCP folks try to apply
  Greg's guidance that selftest from torvalds/linux should be able to
  run against stable kernels.

  Last thing I should call out is the DCCP/UDP-lite deprecation notices.
  We are fairly sure those are dead, but if we're wrong reverting them
  back in won't be fun.

   - wifi:
      - cfg80211: fix double lock bug in reg_wdev_chan_valid()
      - iwlwifi: mvm: spin_lock_bh() to fix lockdep regression

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - sched: cls_u32: fix reference counter leak leading to overflow

   - sched: cls_api: fix lockup on flushing explicitly created chain

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - nf_tables: integrate pipapo into commit protocol

   - nf_tables: incorrect error path handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE, fix

   - ping6: fix send to link-local addresses with VRF

   - sched: act_pedit: parse L3 header for L4 offset, the skb may not

   - sched: act_ct: fix promotion of offloaded unreplied tuple

   - sched: refuse to destroy an ingress and clsact Qdiscs if there are

   - wifi: mac80211: fix handful of bugs in multi-link operation

   - ipvlan: fix bound dev checking for IPv6 l3s mode

   - eth: enetc: correct the indexes of highest and 2nd highest TCs

   - eth: ice: fix XDP memory leak when NIC is brought up and down

  Misc:

   - add deprecation notices for UDP-lite and DCCP

   between do_mount and dm's do_suspend (in addition to the earlier
   fix's do_mount race with dm's do_resume).

 - Fix DM thin metadata operations to first check if the thin-pool is in
   "fail_io" mode; otherwise UAF can occur.

 - Fix DM thinp's call to __blkdev_issue_discard to use GFP_NOIO rather
   than GFP_NOWAIT (__blkdev_issue_discard cannot handle NULL return
   from bio_alloc).

 "This is an unusually large bunch of bug fixes for the later rc cycle,
  rxe and mlx5 both dumped a lot of things at once. rxe continues to fix
  itself, and mlx5 is fixing a bunch of "queue counters" related bugs.

  There is one highly notable bug fix regarding the qkey. This small
  security check was missed in the original 2005 implementation and it
  allows some significant issues.

  Summary:

   - Two rtrs bug fixes for error unwind bugs

   - Several rxe bug fixes:
      * Incorrect Rx packet validation
      * Using memory without a refcount
      * Syzkaller found use before initialization
      * Regression fix for missing locking with the tasklet conversion
        from this merge window

   - Have bnxt report the correct link properties to userspace, this was
     a regression in v6.3

   - Several mlx5 bug fixes:
      * Kernel crash triggerable by userspace for the RAW ethernet
        profile
      * Defend against steering refcounting issues created by userspace
      * Incorrect change of QP port affinity parameters in some LAG
        configurations

   - Fix mlx5 Q counters:
      * Do not over allocate Q counters to allow userspace to use the
        full port capacity
      * Kernel crash triggered by eswitch due to mis-use of Q counters
      * Incorrect mlx5_device for Q counters in some LAG configurations

   - Properly implement the IBA spec restricting privileged qkeys to
     root

   - Always an error when reading from a disassociated device's event
     queue

      * Correct list corruption due to incorrect locking
