On some embedded systems the EEPROM does not contain a valid MAC address. In that case it is better to fallback to a generated mac address and let init scripts fix the value later. Reported-by:

For some reason we were carrying the budget value around between the various calls to napi->poll. If for example one of the drivers called had a bug in which it returned a non-zero value for work this could result in the budget value becoming negative. Rather than carry around a value of budget that is 0 or less we can instead just loop through and pass 0 to each napi->poll call. If any driver returns a value for work done that is non-zero then we can report that driver and continue rather than allowing a bad actor to make the budget value negative and pass that negative value to napi->poll. Note, the only actual change here is that instead of letting budget become negative we are keeping it at 0 regardless of the value returned for work since it should not be possible for the polling routine to do any actual work with a budget of 0. So if the polling routine returns a non-0 value we are just reporting it and continuing with a budget of 0 rather than letting that work value be subtracted from the budget of 0. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch. A few short goals of this patch are: - Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list - Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc) - Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come later) Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce: - per-vlan counters - vlan ingress/egress mapping - per-vlan igmp configuration - vlan priorities - avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues) The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce "port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further (thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!). Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths. VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries. A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps per-vlan data. One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be skipped. Things tested so far: - basic vlan ingress/egress - pvids - untagged vlans - undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING - adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx, while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc) - loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans - extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests - adding/deleting fdbs on vlans - bridge mac change, promisc mode - default pvid change - kmemleak ON during the whole time Signed-off-by:

Gregory CLEMENT says: ==================== net: mvneta: Switch to per-CPU irq and make rxq_def useful As stated in the first version: "this patchset reworks the Marvell neta driver in order to really support its per-CPU interrupts, instead of faking them as SPI, and allow the use of any RX queue instead of the hardcoded RX queue 0 that we have currently." Following the review which has been done, Maxime started adding the CPU hotplug support. I continued his work a few weeks ago and here is the result. Since the 1st version the main change is this CPU hotplug support, in order to validate it I powered up and down the CPUs while performing iperf. I ran the tests during hours: the kernel didn't crash and the network interfaces were still usable. Of course it impacted the performance, but continuously power down and up the CPUs is not something we usually do. I also reorganized the series, the 3 first patches should go through the irq subsystem, whereas the 4 others should go to the network subsystem. However, there is a runtime dependency between the two parts. Patch 5 depend on the patch 3 to be able to use the percpu irq. Thanks, Gregory PS: Thanks to Willy who gave me some pointers on how to deal with the NAPI. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Since the switch to per-CPU interrupts, we lost the ability to set which CPU was going to receive our RX interrupt, which was now only the CPU on which the mvneta_open function was run. We can now assign our queues to their respective CPUs, and make sure only this CPU is going to handle our traffic. This also paves the road to be able to change that at runtime, and later on to support RSS. [gregory.clement@free-electrons.com]: hardened the CPU hotplug support. Signed-off-by:

The mvneta driver allows to change the default RX queue trough the rxq_def kernel parameter. However, the current code doesn't allow to have any value but 0. It is actively checked for in the driver's probe because the drivers makes a number of assumption and takes a number of shortcuts in order to just use that RX queue. Remove these limitations in order to be able to specify any available queue. Signed-off-by:

Now that our interrupt controller is allowing us to use per-CPU interrupts, actually use it in the mvneta driver. This involves obviously reworking the driver to have a CPU-local NAPI structure, and report for incoming packet using that structure. Signed-off-by:

The CPU_MAP register is duplicated for each CPUs at different addresses, each instance being at a different address. However, the code so far was using CONFIG_NR_CPUS to initialise the CPU_MAP registers for each registers, while the SoCs embed at most 4 CPUs. This is especially an issue with multi_v7_defconfig, where CONFIG_NR_CPUS is currently set to 16, resulting in writes to registers that are not CPU_MAP.

The MPIC driver currently has a list of interrupts to handle as per-cpu. Since the timer, fabric and neta interrupts were the only per-cpu interrupts in the system, we can now remove the switch and just check for the hardware irq number to determine whether a given interrupt is per-cpu or not.

Noticed that the compiler (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC)) generated suboptimal assembler code in eth_get_headlen(). This early return coding style is usually not an issue, on super scalar CPUs, but the compiler choose to put the return statement after this very unlikely branch, thus creating larger jump down to the likely code path. Performance wise, I could measure slightly less L1-icache-load-misses and less branch-misses, and an improvement of 1 nanosec with an IP-forwarding use-case with 257 bytes packets with ixgbe (CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz).

Application limited streams such as thin streams, that transmit small amounts of payload in relatively few packets per RTT, can be prevented from growing the CWND when in congestion avoidance. This leads to increased sojourn times for data segments in streams that often transmit time-dependent data. Currently, a connection is considered CWND limited only after having successfully transmitted at least one packet with new data, while at the same time failing to transmit some unsent data from the output queue because the CWND is full. Applications that produce small amounts of data may be left in a state where it is never considered to be CWND limited, because all unsent data is successfully transmitted each time an incoming ACK opens up for more data to be transmitted in the send window. Fix by always testing whether the CWND is fully used after successful packet transmissions, such that a connection is considered CWND limited whenever the CWND has been filled. This is the correct behavior as specified in RFC2861 (section 3.1).

Instead of using directly the OS timer through direct register access, use the standard sched_clock(), which will end up in OSCR reading anyway. This is a first step for direct access register removal and machine specific code removal from this driver. This commit changes the behavior, as previously the minimum turnaround time was counted in 76ns steps, while with this patch it is counted in microsecond steps. The strictly equal formula would have been : while ((sched_clock() - si->last_clk) * 76 < mtt) Signed-off-by:

In the new flow, we separate the pci initialization and teardown from the initialization and teardown of the other resources. init_one calls mlx5_pci_init that handles the pci resources initialization. It then calls mlx5_load_one to initialize the remainder of the resources. When removing a device, remove_one is invoked. However, now remove_one calls mlx5_unload_one to free all the resources except the pci resources. When mlx5_unload_one returns, mlx5_pci_close is called to free the pci resources. The above separation will allow us to implement the pci error handlers and suspend and resume callbacks. Signed-off-by:

We found that a TCP Fast Open passive connection was vulnerable to reorders, as the exchange might look like [1] C -> S S <FO ...> <request> [2] S -> C S. ack request <options> [3] S -> C . <answer> packets [2] and [3] can be generated at almost the same time. If C receives the 3rd packet before the 2nd, it will drop it as the socket is in SYN_SENT state and expects a SYNACK. S will have to retransmit the answer. Current OOO avoidance in linux is defeated because SYNACK packets are attached to the LISTEN socket, while DATA packets are attached to the children. They might be sent by different cpus, and different TX queues might be selected. It turns out that for TFO, we created a child, which is a full blown socket in TCP_SYN_RECV state, and we simply can attach the SYNACK packet to this socket. This means that at the time tcp_sendmsg() pushes DATA packet, skb->ooo_okay will be set iff the SYNACK packet had been sent and TX completed. This removes the reorder source at the host level. We also removed the export of tcp_try_fastopen(), as it is no longer called from IPv6. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-28 This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf and igb to resolve issues seen and reported by Red Hat. Kiran moves i40e_get_head() in preparation for the refactor of the Tx timeout logic, so that it can be used in other areas of the driver. Refactored the driver timeout logic by issuing a writeback request via a software interrupt to the hardware the first time the driver detects a hang. This was due to the driver being too aggressive in resetting a hung queue. Shannon adds the GRE protocol to the transmit checksum encoding. Anjali fixes an issue of forcing writeback too often, which caused us to not benefit from NAPI. We now disable force writeback in the clean routine for X710 and XL710 adapters. The X722 adapters do not enable interrupt to force a writeback and benefit from WB_ON_ITR and so force WB is left enabled for those adapters. Fixed a possible deadlock issue where sync_vsi_filters() can be called directly under RTNL or through the timer subtask without RTNL. So update the flow to see if we are already under RTNL before trying to grab it. Stefan Assmann provides a fix for igb where SR-IOV was not getting enabled properly and we ran into a NULL pointer if the max_vfs module parameter is specified. This is prevented by setting the IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX bit before calling igb_probe_vfs(). v2: added "i40e: Fix for recursive RTNL lock during PROMISC change" patch to the series, as it resolves another issues seen and reported by Red Hat. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

In igb_sw_init() the sequence of calls was changed from igb_init_queue_configuration() igb_init_interrupt_scheme() igb_probe_vfs() to igb_probe_vfs() igb_init_queue_configuration() igb_init_interrupt_scheme() This results in adapter->flags not having the IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX bit set during igb_probe_vfs()->igb_enable_sriov(). Therefore SR-IOV does not get enabled properly and we run into a NULL pointer if the max_vfs module parameter is specified (adapter->vf_data does not get allocated, crash on accessing the structure).

The sync_vsi_filters function can be called directly under RTNL or through the timer subtask without one. This was causing a deadlock. If sync_vsi_filters is called from a thread which held the lock, and in another thread the PROMISC setting got changed we would be executing the PROMISC change in the thread which already held the lock alongside the other filter update. The PROMISC change requires a reset if we are on a VEB, which requires it to be called under RTNL. Earlier the driver would call reset for PROMISC change without checking if we were already under RTNL and would try to grab it causing a deadlock. This patch changes the flow to see if we are already under RTNL before trying to grab it. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the issue of forcing WB too often causing us to not benefit from NAPI. Without this patch we were forcing WB/arming interrupt too often taking away the benefits of NAPI and causing a performance impact. With this patch we disable force WB in the clean routine for X710 and XL710 adapters. X722 adapters do not enable interrupt to force a WB and benefit from WB_ON_ITR and hence force WB is left enabled for those adapters. For XL710 and X710 adapters if we have less than 4 packets pending a software Interrupt triggered from service task will force a WB. This patch also changes the conditions for setting RS bit as described in code comments. This optimizes when the HW does a tail bump and when it does a WB. It also optimizes when we do a wmb.
