      hisilicon: constify net_device_ops structures · 66f58ec4
      Julia Lawall authored 
      Check for net_device_ops structures that are only stored in the netdev_ops
field of a net_device structure.  This field is declared const, so
net_device_ops structures that have this property can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct net_device_ops i@p = { ... };

@ok@
identifier r.i;
struct net_device e;
position p;
@@
e.netdev_ops = &i@p;

@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct net_device_ops e;
@@
e@i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
 struct net_device_ops i = { ... };
// </smpl>

The result of size on this file before the change is:

   text	      data     bss     dec         hex	  filename

and after the change it is:

      tcp: prepare skbs for better sack shifting · 3613b3db
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      With large BDP TCP flows and lossy networks, it is very important
to keep a low number of skbs in the write queue.

RACK and SACK processing can perform a linear scan of it.

We should avoid putting any payload in skb->head, so that SACK
shifting can be done if needed.

With this patch, we allow to pack ~0.5 MB per skb instead of
the 64KB initially cooked at tcp_sendmsg() time.

This gives a reduction of number of skbs in write queue by eight.
tcp_rack_detect_loss() likes this.

We still allow payload in skb->head for first skb put in the queue,
to not impact RPC workloads.

      Tariq Toukan says:

====================
mlx5e Order-0 pages for Striding RQ

In this series, we refactor our Striding RQ receive-flow to always use
fragmented WQEs (Work Queue Elements) using order-0 pages, omitting the
flow that allocates and splits high-order pages which would fragment
and deplete high-order pages in the system.

The first patch gives a slight degradation, but opens the opportunity
to using a simple page-cache mechanism of a fair size.
The page-cache, implemented in patch 3, not only closes the performance
gap but even gives a gain.
In patch 2 we re-organize the code to better manage the calls for
alloc/de-alloc pages in the RX flow.

      net/mlx5e: Implement RX mapped page cache for page recycle · 4415a031
      Tariq Toukan authored 
      Instead of reallocating and mapping pages for RX data-path,
recycle already used pages in a per ring cache.

Performance tests:
The following results were measured on a freshly booted system,
giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to
be fragmented and depleted.

We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop:

Single stride, 64 bytes:
* 4,739,057 - baseline
* 4,749,550 - order0 no cache
* 4,786,899 - order0 with cache
1% gain

Larger packets, no page cross, 1024 bytes:
* 3,982,361 - baseline
* 3,845,682 - order0 no cache
* 4,127,852 - order0 with cache
3.7% gain

Larger packets, every 3rd packet crosses a page, 1500 bytes:
* 3,731,189 - baseline
* 3,579,414 - order0 no cache
* 3,931,708 - order0 with cache
5.4% gain

      net/mlx5e: Single flow order-0 pages for Striding RQ · 7e426671
      Tariq Toukan authored 
      To improve the memory consumption scheme, we omit the flow that
demands and splits high-order pages in Striding RQ, and stay
with a single Striding RQ flow that uses order-0 pages.

Moving to fragmented memory allows the use of larger MPWQEs,
which reduces the number of UMR posts and filler CQEs.

Moving to a single flow allows several optimizations that improve
performance, especially in production servers where we would
anyway fallback to order-0 allocations:
- inline functions that were called via function pointers.
- improve the UMR post process.

This patch alone is expected to give a slight performance reduction.
However, the new memory scheme gives the possibility to use a page-cache
of a fair size, that doesn't inflate the memory footprint, which will
dramatically fix the reduction and even give a performance gain.

Performance tests:
The following results were measured on a freshly booted system,
giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to
be fragmented and depleted.

We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop:

Single stride, 64 bytes:
* 4,739,057 - baseline
* 4,749,550 - this patch
no reduction

Larger packets, no page cross, 1024 bytes:
* 3,982,361 - baseline
* 3,845,682 - this patch
3.5% reduction

Larger packets, every 3rd packet crosses a page, 1500 bytes:
* 3,731,189 - baseline
* 3,579,414 - this patch
4% reduction

      Add CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_IPV6 and make the IPv6 support code conditional on it.
This is then made conditional on CONFIG_IPV6.

Without this, the following can be seen:
