The dwmac-socfpga driver needs to control the reset usually managed by the core driver to set the PHY mode. Take a copy of the reset handle from core priv data so it can be used by the driver later. This also allow us to move reset handling into socfpga_dwmac_setup() where the code that needs it is located.

Implement the needed PM callbacks in the driver instead of relying on the init/exit hooks in stmmac_platform. This gives the driver more flexibility in how the code is organized. Eventually the init/exit callbacks will be deprecated in favor of the standard PM callbacks and driver remove function.

In presence of inelastic flows and stress, we can call fq_codel_drop() for every packet entering fq_codel qdisc. fq_codel_drop() is quite expensive, as it does a linear scan of 4 KB of memory to find a fat flow. Once found, it drops the oldest packet of this flow. Instead of dropping a single packet, try to drop 50% of the backlog of this fat flow, with a configurable limit of 64 packets per round. TCA_FQ_CODEL_DROP_BATCH_SIZE is the new attribute to make this limit configurable. With this strategy the 4 KB search is amortized to a single cache line per drop [1], so fq_codel_drop() no longer appears at the top of kernel profile in presence of few inelastic flows.

Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone() Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work. Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done. TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet travels in the stack. This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone() using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned(). This variant can probably be used from other points.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bridge: per-vlan stats This set adds support for bridge per-vlan statistics. In order to be able to dump statistics for many vlans we need a way to continue dumping after reaching maximum size, thus patches 01 and 02 extend the new stats API with a per-device extended link stats attribute and callback which can save its local state and continue where it left off afterwards. I considered using the already existing "fill_xstats" callback but it gets confusing since we need to separate the linkinfo dump from the new stats api dump and adding a flag/argument to do that just looks messy. I don't think the rtnl_link_ops size is an issue, so adding these seemed like the cleaner approach. Patches 03 and 04 add the stats support and netlink dump support respectively. The stats accounting is controlled via a bridge option which is default off, thus the performance impact is kept minimal. I've tested this set with both old and modified iproute2, kmemleak on and some traffic stress tests while adding/removing vlans and ports. v3: - drop the RCU pvid patch and remove one pointer fetch as requested - make stats accounting optional with default to off, the option is in the same cache line as vlan_proto and vlan_enabled, so it is already fetched before the fast path check thus the performance impact is minimal, this also allows us to avoid one vlan lookup and return early when using pvid - rebased and retested v2: - Improve the error checking, rename lidx to prividx and save the current idx user instead of restricting it to one in patch 01 - squash patch 02 into 01 and remove the restriction - add callback descriptions, improve the size calculation and change the xstats message structure to have an embedding level per rtnl link type so we can avoid one call to get the link type (and thus filter on it) and also each link type can now have any number of private attributes inside - fix a problem where the vlan stats are not dumped if the bridge has 0 vlans on it but has vlans on the ports, add bridge link type private attributes and also add paddings for future extensions to avoid at least a few netlink attributes and improve struct alignment - drop the is_skb_forwardable argument constifying patch as it's not needed anymore, but it's a nice cleanup which I'll send separately ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a new LINK_XSTATS_TYPE_BRIDGE attribute and implement the RTM_GETSTATS callbacks for IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS (fill_linkxstats and get_linkxstats_size) in order to export the per-vlan stats. The paddings were added because soon these fields will be needed for per-port per-vlan stats (or something else if someone beats me to it) so avoiding at least a few more netlink attributes.

Add support for per-VLAN Tx/Rx statistics. Every global vlan context gets allocated a per-cpu stats which is then set in each per-port vlan context for quick access. The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink. A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off) but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute. Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks). Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

The new prividx argument allows the current dumping device to save a private state counter which would enable it to continue dumping from where it left off. And the idxattr is used to save the current idx user so multiple prividx using attributes can be requested at the same time as suggested by Roopa Prabhu.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Cleanup IPv6 ip tunnels The IPv6 tunnel code is very different from IPv4 code. There is a lot of redundancy with the IPv4 code, particularly in the GRE tunneling. This patch set cleans up the tunnel code to make the IPv6 code look more like the IPv4 code and use common functions between the two stacks where possible. This work should make it easier to maintain and extend the IPv6 ip tunnels. Items in this patch set: - Cleanup IPv6 tunnel receive path (ip6_tnl_rcv). Includes using gro_cells and exporting ip6_tnl_rcv so the ip6_gre can call it - Move GRE functions to common header file (tx functions) or gre_demux.c (rx functions like gre_parse_header) - Call common GRE functions from IPv6 GRE - Create ip6_tnl_xmit (to be like ip_tunnel_xmit) Tested: Ran super_netperf tests for TCP_RR and TCP_STREAM for: - IPv4 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap - IPv6 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap - ipip - ip6ip6 - ipip/gue - IPv6 over gre/gue - IPv4 over gre/gue ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic). These include: - GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h - GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header - parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header - iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header in an int* argument. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: make TCP preemptible Most of TCP stack assumed it was running from BH handler. This is great for most things, as TCP behavior is very sensitive to scheduling artifacts. However, the prequeue and backlog processing are problematic, as they need to be flushed with BH being blocked. To cope with modern needs, TCP sockets have big sk_rcvbuf values, in the order of 16 MB, and soon 32 MB. This means that backlog can hold thousands of packets, and things like TCP coalescing or collapsing on this amount of packets can lead to insane latency spikes, since BH are blocked for too long. It is time to make UDP/TCP stacks preemptible. Note that fast path still runs from BH handler. v2: Added "tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog" to reduce latency problems of large sends. v3: Fixed a typo in tcp_cdg.c ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call, unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets are parked into socket backlog for a long time. Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed. Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full. Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults) Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small chunks to avoid this issue. Kernel should know better, right ? Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog every 64KB gives good results. As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller perceived rtt. Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership, so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);}, to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was giving to (possibly buggy) applications. In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(), but we might consider this later.

Socket backlog processing is a major latency source. With current TCP socket sk_rcvbuf limits, I have sampled __release_sock() holding cpu for more than 5 ms, and packets being dropped by the NIC once ring buffer is filled. All users are now ready to be called from process context, we can unblock BH and let interrupts be serviced faster. cond_resched_softirq() could be removed, as it has no more user.

We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue and backlog queues can take lot of time. Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled. Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS() and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS() Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.
