For years we disabled Hystart ACK train detection at Google because it was fooled by TCP pacing. ACK train detection uses a simple heuristic, detecting if we receive ACK past half the RTT, to exit slow start before hitting the bottleneck and experience massive drops. But pacing by design might delay packets up to RTT/2, so we need to tweak the Hystart logic to be aware of this extra delay. Tested: Added a 100 usec delay at receiver.

After switching ca->delay_min to usec resolution, we exit slow start prematurely for very low RTT flows, setting snd_ssthresh to 20. The reason is that delay_min is fed with RTT of small packet trains. Then as cwnd is increased, TCP sends bigger TSO packets. LRO/GRO aggregation and/or interrupt mitigation strategies on receiver tend to inflate RTT samples. Fix this by adding to delay_min the expected delay of two TSO packets, given current pacing rate. Tested: Sender uses pfifo_fast qdisc Before : $ nstat -n;for f in {1..10}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -l -4000000; done;nstat|egrep "Hystart" 11348 11707 11562 11428 11773 11534 9878 11693 10597 10968 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect 10 0.0 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainCwnd 200 0.0 After : $ nstat -n;for f in {1..10}; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -l -4000000; done;nstat|egrep "Hystart" 14877 14517 15797 18466 17376 14833 17558 17933 16039 18059 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainDetect 10 0.0 TcpExtTCPHystartTrainCwnd 1670 0.0 Signed-off-by: -

Current 1ms clock feeds ca->round_start, ca->delay_min, ca->last_ack. This is quite problematic for data-center flows, where delay_min is way below 1 ms. This means Hystart Train detection triggers every time jiffies value is updated, since "((s32)(now - ca->round_start) > ca->delay_min >> 4)" expression becomes true. This kind of random behavior can be solved by reusing the existing usec timestamp that TCP keeps in tp->tcp_mstamp Note that a followup patch will tweak things a bit, because during slow start, GRO aggregation on receivers naturally increases the RTT as TSO packets gradually come to ~64KB size. To recap, right after this patch CUBIC Hystart train detection is more aggressive, since short RTT flows might exit slow start at cwnd = 20, instead of being possibly unbounded. Following patch will address this problem. Signed-off-by:

If we initialize ca->curr_rtt to ~0U, we do not need to test for zero value in hystart_update() We only read ca->curr_rtt if at least HYSTART_MIN_SAMPLES have been processed, and thus ca->curr_rtt will have a sane value. Signed-off-by:

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2019-12-27 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. We've added 127 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain a total of 110 files changed, 6901 insertions(+), 2721 deletions(-). There are three merge conflicts. Conflicts and resolution looks as follows: 1) Merge conflict in net/bpf/test_run.c: There was a tree-wide cleanup c593642c ("treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro") which gets in the way with b590cb5f ("bpf: Switch to offsetofend in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"): <<<<<<< HEAD if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, priority) + sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, priority), ======= if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, priority), >>>>>>> 7c8dce4b There are a few occasions that look similar to this. Always take the chunk with offsetofend(). Note that there is one where the fields differ in here: <<<<<<< HEAD if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, tstamp) + sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, tstamp), ======= if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, gso_segs), >>>>>>> 7c8dce4b Just take the one with offsetofend() /and/ gso_segs. Latter is correct due to 850a88cc ("bpf: Expose __sk_buff wire_len/gso_segs to BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"). 2) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp.c: (I'm keeping Bjorn in Cc here for a double-check in case I got it wrong.) <<<<<<< HEAD if (is_13b_check(off, insn)) return -1; emit(rv_blt(tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off >> 1), ctx); ======= emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, RV_REG_T1, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx); >>>>>>> 7c8dce4b Result should look like: emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx); 3) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h: <<<<<<< HEAD ======= #define VMALLOC_SIZE (KERN_VIRT_SIZE >> 1) #define VMALLOC_END (PAGE_OFFSET - 1) #define VMALLOC_START (PAGE_OFFSET - VMALLOC_SIZE) #define BPF_JIT_REGION_SIZE (SZ_128M) #define BPF_JIT_REGION_START (PAGE_OFFSET - BPF_JIT_REGION_SIZE) #define BPF_JIT_REGION_END (VMALLOC_END) /* * Roughly size the vmemmap space to be large enough to fit enough * struct pages to map half the virtual address space.

Also, add libbpf extern variable resolution for .kconfig section to import Kconfig data, from Andrii Nakryiko. 2) Add BPF dispatcher for XDP which is a mechanism to avoid indirect calls by generating a branch funnel as discussed back in bpfconf'19 at LSF/MM. Also, add various BPF riscv JIT improvements, from Björn Töpel. 3) Extend bpftool to allow matching BPF programs and maps by name, from Paul Chaignon. 4) Support for replacing cgroup BPF programs attached with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag for allowing updates without service interruption, from Andrey Ignatov. 5) Cleanup and simplification of ring access functions for AF_XDP with a bonus of 0-5% performance improvement, from Magnus Karlsson. 6) Enable BPF JITs for x86-64 and arm64 by default. Also, final version of audit support for BPF, from Daniel Borkmann and latter with Jiri Olsa. 7) Move and extend test_select_reuseport into BPF program tests under BPF selftests, from Jakub Sitnicki. 8) Various BPF sample improvements for xdpsock for customizing parameters to set up and benchmark AF_XDP, from Jay Jayatheerthan. 9) Improve libbpf to provide a ulimit hint on permission denied errors. Also change XDP sample programs to attach in driver mode by default, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen. 10) Extend BPF test infrastructure to allow changing skb mark from tc BPF programs, from Nikita V. Shirokov. 11) Optimize prologue code sequence in BPF arm32 JIT, from Russell King. 12) Fix xdp_redirect_cpu BPF sample to manually attach to tracepoints after libbpf conversion, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 13) Minor misc improvements from various others. ==================== Signed-off-by:

By re-attaching RX, TX, and CTL rings during connect() rather than assuming they are freshly allocated (i.e. assuming the counters are zero), and avoiding forcing state to Closed in netback_remove() it is possible for vif instances to be unbound and re-bound from and to (respectively) a running guest. Dynamic unbind/bind is a highly useful feature for a backend module as it allows it to be unloaded and re-loaded (i.e. updated) without requiring domUs to be halted. This has been tested by running iperf as a server in the test VM and then running a client against it in a continuous loop, whilst also running: while true; do echo vif-$DOMID-$VIF >unbind; echo down; rmmod xen-netback; echo unloaded; modprobe xen-netback; cd $(pwd); brctl addif xenbr0 vif$DOMID.$VIF; ip link set vif$DOMID.$VIF up; echo up; sleep 5; done in dom0 from /sys/bus/xen-backend/drivers/vif to continuously unbind, unload, re-load, re-bind and re-plumb the backend. Clearly a performance drop was seen but no TCP connection resets were observed during this test and moreover a parallel SSH connection into the guest remained perfectly usable throughout.

Martin Blumenstingl says: ==================== RTL8211F: RGMII RX/TX delay configuration improvements In discussion with Andrew [0] we figured out that it would be best to make the RX delay of the RTL8211F PHY configurable (just like the TX delay is already configurable). While here I took the opportunity to add some logging to the TX delay configuration as well. There is no public documentation for the RX and TX delay registers. I received this information a while ago (and created this RfC patch back then: [1]). Realtek gave me permission to take the information from the datasheet extracts and phase them in my own words and publish that (I am not allowed to publish the datasheet extracts). I have tested these patches on two boards: - Amlogic Meson8b Odroid-C1 - Amlogic GXM Khadas VIM2 Both still behave as before these changes (iperf3 speeds are the same in both directions: RX and TX), which is expected because they are currently using phy-mode = "rgmii" with the RX delay not being generated by the PHY.

Martin Blumenstingl authored
On RTL8211F the RX and TX delays (2ns) can be configured in two ways: - pin strapping (RXD1 for the TX delay and RXD0 for the RX delay, LOW means "off" and HIGH means "on") which is read during PHY reset - using software to configure the TX and RX delay registers So far only the configuration using pin strapping has been supported. Add support for enabling or disabling the RGMII RX delay based on the phy-mode to be able to get the RX delay into a known state. This is important because the RX delay has to be coordinated between the PHY, MAC and the PCB design (trace length). With an invalid RX delay applied (for example if both PHY and MAC add a 2ns RX delay) Ethernet may not work at all. Also add debug logging when configuring the RX delay (just like the TX delay) because this is a common source of problems. Signed-off-by:

RGMII requires a delay of 2ns between the data and the clock signal. There are at least three ways this can happen. One possibility is by having the PHY generate this delay. This is a common source for problems (for example with slow TX speeds or packet loss when sending data). The TX delay configuration of the RTL8211F PHY can be set either by pin-strappping the RXD1 pin (HIGH means enabled, LOW means disabled) or through configuring a paged register. The setting from the RXD1 pin is also reflected in the register. Add debug logging to the TX delay configuration on RTL8211F so it's easier to spot these issues (for example if the TX delay is enabled for both, the RTL8211F PHY and the MAC). This is especially helpful because there is no public datasheet for the RTL8211F PHY available with all the RX/TX delay specifics. Signed-off-by:

Host routes that perform decapsulation of IP in IP tunnels have a special adjacency entry linked to them. This entry stores information such as the expected underlay source IP. When the route is deleted this entry needs to be freed. The allocation of the adjacency entry happens in mlxsw_sp_fib4_entry_type_set(), but it is freed in mlxsw_sp_fib4_node_entry_unlink(). Create a new function - mlxsw_sp_fib4_entry_type_unset() - and free the adjacency entry there. This will allow us to consolidate mlxsw_sp_fib{4,6}_node_entry_unlink() in the next patch.

The original patch bringed in the "SCTP ACK tracking trace event" feature was committed at Dec.20, 2017, it replaced jprobe usage with trace events, and bringed in two trace events, one is TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), another one is TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe_path). The original patch intended to trigger the trace_sctp_probe_path in TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) as below code, +TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe, + + TP_PROTO(const struct sctp_endpoint *ep, + const struct sctp_association *asoc, + struct sctp_chunk *chunk), + + TP_ARGS(ep, asoc, chunk), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field(__u64, asoc) + __field(__u32, mark) + __field(__u16, bind_port) + __field(__u16, peer_port) + __field(__u32, pathmtu) + __field(__u32, rwnd) + __field(__u16, unack_data) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + struct sk_buff *skb = chunk->skb; + + __entry->asoc = (unsigned long)asoc; + __entry->mark = skb->mark; + __entry->bind_port = ep->base.bind_addr.port; + __entry->peer_port = asoc->peer.port; + __entry->pathmtu = asoc->pathmtu; + __entry->rwnd = asoc->peer.rwnd; + __entry->unack_data = asoc->unack_data; + + if (trace_sctp_probe_path_enabled()) { + struct sctp_transport *sp; + + list_for_each_entry(sp, &asoc->peer.transport_addr_list, + transports) { + trace_sctp_probe_path(sp, asoc); + } + } + ), But I found it did not work when I did testing, and trace_sctp_probe_path had no output, I finally found that there is trace buffer lock operation(trace_event_buffer_reserve) in include/trace/trace_events.h: static notrace void \ trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto) \ { \ struct trace_event_file *trace_file = __data; \ struct trace_event_data_offsets_##call __maybe_unused __data_offsets;\ struct trace_event_buffer fbuffer; \ struct trace_event_raw_##call *entry; \ int __data_size; \ \ if (trace_trigger_soft_disabled(trace_file)) \ return; \ \ __data_size = trace_event_get_offsets_##call(&__data_offsets, args); \ \ entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file, \ sizeof(*entry) + __data_size); \ \ if (!entry) \ return; \ \ tstruct \ \ { assign; } \ \ trace_event_buffer_commit(&fbuffer); \ } The reason caused no output of trace_sctp_probe_path is that trace_sctp_probe_path written in TP_fast_assign part of TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), and it will be placed( { assign; } ) after the trace_event_buffer_reserve() when compiler expands Macro, entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file, \ sizeof(*entry) + __data_size); \ \ if (!entry) \ return; \ \ tstruct \ \ { assign; } \ so trace_sctp_probe_path finally can not acquire trace_event_buffer and return no output, that is to say the nest of tracepoint entry function is not allowed. The function call flow is: trace_sctp_probe() -> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe() -> lock buffer -> trace_sctp_probe_path() -> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe_path() --nested -> buffer has been locked and return no output. This patch is to remove trace_sctp_probe_path from the TP_fast_assign part of TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) to avoid the nest of entry function, and trigger sctp_probe_path_trace in sctp_outq_sack. After this patch, you can enable both events individually, # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe/enable # echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe_path/enable Or, you can enable all the events under sctp. # echo 1 > events/sctp/enable Signed-off-by:Kevin Kou <qdkevin.kou@gmail.com> Acked-by:

Clang patch [0] enables emitting relocatable generic ALU/ALU64 instructions (i.e, shifts and arithmetic operations), as well as generic load/store instructions. The former ones are already supported by libbpf as is. This patch adds further support for load/store instructions. Relocatable field offset is encoded in BPF instruction's 16-bit offset section and are adjusted by libbpf based on target kernel BTF. These Clang changes and corresponding libbpf changes allow for more succinct generated BPF code by encoding relocatable field reads as a single ST/LDX/STX instruction. It also enables relocatable access to BPF context. Previously, if context struct (e.g., __sk_buff) was accessed with CO-RE relocations (e.g., due to preserve_access_index attribute), it would be rejected by BPF verifier due to modified context pointer dereference. With Clang patch, such context accesses are both relocatable and have a fixed offset from the point of view of BPF verifier. [0] https://reviews.llvm.org/D71790Signed-off-by:

Richard Cochran says: ==================== Peer to Peer One-Step time stamping This series adds support for PTP (IEEE 1588) P2P one-step time stamping along with a driver for a hardware device that supports this. If the hardware supports p2p one-step, it subtracts the ingress time stamp value from the Pdelay_Request correction field. The user space software stack then simply copies the correction field into the Pdelay_Response, and on transmission the hardware adds the egress time stamp into the correction field. This new functionality extends CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to cover MII snooping devices, but it still depends on phylib, just as that option does. Expanding beyond phylib is not within the scope of the this series. User space support is available in the current linuxptp master branch. - Patch 1 adds phy_device methods for existing time stamping fields. - Patches 2-5 convert the stack and drivers to the new methods. - Patch 6 moves code around the dp83640 driver. - Patches 7-10 add support for MII time stamping in non-PHY devices. - Patch 11 adds the new P2P 1-step option. - Patch 12 adds a driver implementing the new option.

Non-PHY MII time stamping drivers have a control interface over another bus like I2C, SPI, UART, or via a memory mapped peripheral. The controller device will be associated with one or more time stamping channels, each of which sits snoops in on a MII bus. This patch provides a glue layer that will enable time stamping channels to find their controlling device. Signed-off-by:

Currently the stack supports time stamping in PHY devices. However, there are newer, non-PHY devices that can snoop an MII bus and provide time stamps. In order to support such devices, this patch introduces a new interface to be used by both PHY and non-PHY devices. In addition, the one and only user of the old PHY time stamping API is converted to the new interface. Signed-off-by:

An upcoming patch will change how the PHY time stamping functions are registered with the networking stack, and adapting this driver would entail adding forward declarations for four time stamping methods. However, forward declarations are considered to be stylistic defects. This patch avoids the issue by moving the probe and remove methods immediately above the phy_driver interface structure.

Some parts of the networking stack and at least one driver test fields within the 'struct phy_device' in order to query time stamping capabilities and to invoke time stamping methods. This patch adds a functional interface around the time stamping fields. This will allow insulating the callers from future changes to the details of the time stamping implemenation. Signed-off-by:

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Simplify IPv6 route offload API Motivation ========== This is the IPv6 counterpart of "Simplify IPv4 route offload API" [1]. The aim of this patch set is to simplify the IPv6 route offload API by making the stack a bit smarter about the notifications it is generating. This allows driver authors to focus on programming the underlying device instead of having to duplicate the IPv6 route insertion logic in their driver, which is error-prone. Details ======= Today, whenever an IPv6 route is added or deleted a notification is sent in the FIB notification chain and it is up to offload drivers to decide if the route should be programmed to the hardware or not. This is not an easy task as in hardware routes are keyed by {prefix, prefix length, table id}, whereas the kernel can store multiple such routes that only differ in metric / nexthop info. This series makes sure that only routes that are actually used in the data path are notified to offload drivers. This greatly simplifies the work these drivers need to do, as they are now only concerned with programming the hardware and do not need to replicate the IPv6 route insertion logic and store multiple identical routes. The route that is notified is the first route in the IPv6 FIB node, which represents a single prefix and length in a given table. In case the route is deleted and there is another route with the same key, a replace notification is emitted. Otherwise, a delete notification is emitted. Unlike IPv4, in IPv6 it is possible to append individual nexthops to an existing multipath route. Therefore, in addition to the replace and delete notifications present in IPv4, an append notification is also used. Testing ======= To ensure there is no degradation in route insertion rates, I averaged the insertion rate of 512k routes (/64 and /128) over 50 runs. Did not observe any degradation. Functional tests are available here [2]. They rely on route trap indication, which is added in a subsequent patch set. In addition, I have been running syzkaller for the past couple of weeks with debug options enabled. Did not observe any problems.
