The Data header synchronisation is easier to understand if the variables "remaining" and "size" are renamed. Therefore, the lifetime of the "remaining" variable exists outside of asix_rx_fixup_internal() and is used to indicate any remaining pending bytes of the Ethernet frame that need to be obtained from the next socket buffer. This allows an Ethernet frame to span across multiple socket buffers. "size" is now local to asix_rx_fixup_internal() and contains the size read from the Data header 32-bit word. Add "copy_length" to hold the number of the Ethernet frame bytes (maybe a part of a full frame) that are to be copied out of the socket buffer.

The current ongoing effort to dump existing cBPF seccomp filters back to user space requires to hold the pre-transformed instructions like we do in case of socket filters from sk_attach_filter() side, so they can be reloaded in original form at a later point in time by utilities such as criu. To prepare for this, simply extend the bpf_prog_create_from_user() API to hold a flag that tells whether we should store the original or not. Also, fanout filters could make use of that in future for things like diag. While fanout filters already use bpf_prog_destroy(), move seccomp over to them as well to handle original programs when present.

The current code invokes hang reset in case of error interrupt. We should hang reset only in case of tx timeout. This because of the way hang reset is implemented in firmware. Hang reset takes more firmware resources than soft reset. Adaptor does not generate error interrupt in case of tx timeout. Hang reset only in case of tx timeout, in .ndo_tx_timeout. Do soft reset otherwise. Introduce deferred work, enic_tx_hang_reset, to do hang reset. Signed-off-by: Govindarajulu Varadarajan <_govind@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This round focuses on passing net through ip fragmentation which we seem to call from about everywhere. That is the main ip output paths, the bridge netfilter code, and openvswitch. This has to happend at once accross the tree as function pointers are involved.

Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== RDS: RDS-TCP perf enhancements A 3-part patchset that (a) improves current RDS-TCP perf by 2X-3X and (b) refactors earlier robustness code for better observability/scaling. Patch 1 is an enhancment of earlier robustness fixes that had used separate sockets for client and server endpoints to resolve race conditions. It is possible to have an equivalent solution that does not use 2 sockets. The benefit of a single socket solution is that it results in more predictable and observable behavior for the underlying TCP pipe of an RDS connection Patches 2 and 3 are simple, straightforward perf bug fixes that align the RDS TCP socket with other parts of the kernel stack. v2: fix kbuild-test-robot warnings, comments from Sergei Shtylov and Santosh Shilimkar. ==================== Acked-by: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Using the value of RDS_TCP_DEFAULT_BUFSIZE (128K) clobbers efficient use of TSO because it inflates the size_goal that is computed in tcp_sendmsg/tcp_sendpage and skews packet latency, and the default values for these parameters actually results in significantly better performance. In request-response tests using rds-stress with a packet size of 100K with 16 threads (test parameters -q 100000 -a 256 -t16 -d16) between a single pair of IP addresses achieves a throughput of 6-8 Gbps. Without this patch, throughput maxes at 2-3 Gbps under equivalent conditions on these platforms. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit f711a6ae ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: Always create a new rds_sock for an incoming connection.") modified rds-tcp so that an incoming SYN would ignore an existing "client" TCP connection which had the local port set to the transient port. The motivation for ignoring the existing "client" connection in f711a6ae was to avoid race conditions and an endless duel of reconnect attempts triggered by a restart/abort of one of the nodes in the TCP connection. However, having separate sockets for active and passive sides is avoidable, and the simpler model of a single TCP socket for both send and receives of all RDS connections associated with that tcp socket makes for easier observability. We avoid the race conditions from f711a6ae by attempting reconnects in rds_conn_shutdown if, and only if, the (new) c_outgoing bit is set for RDS_TRANS_TCP. The c_outgoing bit is initialized in __rds_conn_create(). A side-effect of re-using the client rds_connection for an incoming SYN is the potential of encountering duelling SYNs, i.e., we have an outgoing RDS_CONN_CONNECTING socket when we get the incoming SYN. The logic to arbitrate this criss-crossing SYN exchange in rds_tcp_accept_one() has been modified to emulate the BGP state machine: the smaller IP address should back off from the connection attempt.

Arnd Bergmann says: ==================== net: assorted y2038 changes This is a set of changes for network drivers and core code to get rid of the use of time_t and derived data structures. I have a longer set of patches that enables me to build kernels with the time_t definition removed completely as a help to find y2038 overflow issues. This is the subset for networking that contains all code that has a reasonable way of fixing at the moment and that is either commonly used (in one of the defconfigs) or that blocks building a whole subsystem. Most of the patches in this series should be noncontroversial, but the last two that I marked [RFC] are a bit tricky and need input from people that are more familiar with the code than I am. All 12 patches are independent of one another and can be applied in any order, so feel free to pick all that look good. Patches that are not included here are: - disabling less common device drivers that I don't have a fix for yet, this includes drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bfa_ioc.c drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/netxen/netxen_nic_hw.c drivers/net/ethernet/tile/tilegx.c drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_ser_fdx.c drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.h drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ drivers/net/wireless/atmel.c drivers/net/wireless/prism54/isl_38xx.c drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00debug.c drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/ drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/ drivers/staging/ozwpan/ net/atm/mpoa_caches.c net/atm/mpoa_proc.c net/dccp/probe.c net/ipv4/tcp_probe.c net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue_core.c net/netfilter/xt_time.c net/openvswitch/flow.c net/sctp/probe.c net/sunrpc/auth_gss/ net/sunrpc/svcauth_unix.c net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c We'll get there eventually, or we an add a dependency to ensure they are not built on 32-bit kernels that need to survive beyond 2038. Most of these should be really easy to fix. - recvmmsg/sendmmsg system calls: patches have been sent out as part of the syscall series, need a little more work and review - SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS/ ioctl calls: tricky, need to discuss with some folks at kernel summit - SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO/SO_TIMESTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMPNS socket opt: similar and related to the ioctl - mmapped packet socket: need to create v4 of the API, nontrivial - pktgen: sends 32-bit timestamps over network, need to find out if using unsigned stamps is good enough - af_rxpc: similar to pktgen, uses 32-bit times for deadlines - ppp ioctl: patch is being worked on, nontrivial but doable ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

We want to avoid using time_t in the kernel because of the y2038 overflow problem.

The ipv6 mip6 implementation is one of only a few users of the skb_get_timestamp() function in the kernel, which is both unsafe on 32-bit architectures because of the 2038 overflow, and slightly less efficient than the skb_get_ktime() based approach.

The zatm_t_hist structure is not used anywhere in the kernel, but is exported to user space. As we are trying to eliminate uses of time_t in the kernel for y2038 compatibility, the current definition triggers checking tools because it contains 'struct timeval'. As pointed out by Chas Williams, the only user of this structure was the ZATM_GETHIST ioctl command that has been removed a long time ago, and we can remove the structure as well without breaking any user space.

The mac80211 code uses ktime_get_ts to measure the connected time. As this uses monotonic time, it is y2038 safe on 32-bit systems, but we still want to deprecate the use of 'timespec' because most other users are broken.

mwifiex_get_random_ba_threshold() uses a complex homegrown implementation to generate a pseudo-random number from the current time as returned from do_gettimeofday(). This currently requires two 32-bit divisions plus a couple of other computations that are eventually discarded as only eight bits of the microsecond portion are used at all. We could replace this with a call to get_random_bytes(), but that might drain the entropy pool too fast if this is called for each packet. Instead, this patch converts it to use ktime_get_ns(), which is a bit faster than do_gettimeofday(), and then uses a similar algorithm as before, but in a way that takes both the nanosecond and second portion into account for slightly-more-but-still-not-very-random pseudorandom number.

The mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt() function creates a ktime_t from a timeval returned by do_gettimeofday, which is slow and causes an overflow in 2038 on 32-bit architectures.

The fec_ptp_enable_pps uses an open-coded implementation of ns_to_timespec, which will be removed eventually as it is not y2038-safe on 32-bit architectures. Two more instances of the same code in this file were already converted to use the safe ns_to_timespec64 in commit 6630514f ("ptp: fec: use helpers for converting ns to timespec"), this changes the last one as well. The seconds portion here is actually unused and we could just remove the timespec variable, but using ns_to_timespec64 can still be better as the implementation can be hand-optimized in the future.

Peter Nørlund says: ==================== ipv4: Hash-based multipath routing When the routing cache was removed in 3.6, the IPv4 multipath algorithm changed from more or less being destination-based into being quasi-random per-packet scheduling. This increases the risk of out-of-order packets and makes it impossible to use multipath together with anycast services. This patch series replaces the old implementation with flow-based load balancing based on a hash over the source and destination addresses. Distribution of the hash is done with thresholds as described in RFC 2992. This reduces the disruption when a path is added/remove when having more than two paths. To futher the chance of successful usage in conjuction with anycast, ICMP error packets are hashed over the inner IP addresses. This ensures that PMTU will work together with anycast or load-balancers such as IPVS. Port numbers are not considered since fragments could cause problems with anycast and IPVS. Relying on the DF-flag for TCP packets is also insufficient, since ICMP inspection effectively extracts information from the opposite flow which might have a different state of the DF-flag. This is also why the RSS hash is not used. These are typically based on the NDIS RSS spec which mandates TCP support. Measurements of the additional overhead of a two-path multipath (p_mkroute_input excl. __mkroute_input) on a Xeon X3550 (4 cores, 2.66GHz): Original per-packet: ~394 cycles/packet L3 hash: ~76 cycles/packet Changes in v5: - Fixed compilation error Changes in v4: - Functions take hash directly instead of func ptr - Added inline hash function - Added dummy macros to minimize ifdefs - Use upper 31 bits of hash instead of lower Changes in v3: - Multipath algorithm is no longer configurable (always L3) - Added random seed to hash - Moved ICMP inspection to isolated function - Ignore source quench packets (deprecated as per RFC 6633) Changes in v2: - Replaced 8-bit xor hash with 31-bit jenkins hash - Don't scale weights (since 31-bit) - Avoided unnecesary renaming of variables - Rely on DF-bit instead of fragment offset when checking for fragmentation - upper_bound is now inclusive to avoid overflow - Use a callback to postpone extracting flow information until necessary - Skipped ICMP inspection entirely with L4 hashing - Handle newly added sysctl ignore_routes_with_linkdown ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
