Despite recent improvements, the establishment of dual parallel links still has a small glitch where messages can bypass each other. When the second link in a dual-link configuration is established, part of the first link's traffic will be steered over to the new link. Although we do have a mechanism to ensure that packets sent before and after the establishment of the new link arrive in sequence to the destination node, this is not enough. The arriving messages will still be delivered upwards in different threads, something entailing a risk of message disordering during the transition phase. To fix this, we introduce a synchronization mechanism between the two parallel links, so that traffic arriving on the new link cannot be added to its input queue until we are guaranteed that all pre-establishment messages have been delivered on the old, parallel link. This problem seems to always have been around, but its occurrence is so rare that it has not been noticed until recent intensive testing.

After the recent changes in message importance handling it becomes possible to simplify handling of messages and sockets when we encounter link congestion. We merge the function tipc_link_cong() into link_schedule_user(), and simplify the code of the latter. The code should now be easier to follow, especially regarding return codes and handling of the message that caused the situation. In case the scheduling function is unable to pre-allocate a wakeup message buffer, it now returns -ENOBUFS, which is a more correct code than the previously used -EHOSTUNREACH.

Currently, we only use a single counter; the length of the backlog queue, to determine whether a message should be accepted to the queue or not. Each time a message is being sent, the queue length is compared to a threshold value for the message's importance priority. If the queue length is beyond this threshold, the message is rejected. This algorithm implies a risk of starvation of low importance senders during very high load, because it may take a long time before the backlog queue has decreased enough to accept a lower level message. We now eliminate this risk by introducing a counter for each importance priority. When a message is sent, we check only the queue level for that particular message's priority. If that is ok, the message can be added to the backlog, irrespective of the queue level for other priorities. This way, each level is guaranteed a certain portion of the total bandwidth, and any risk of starvation is eliminated.

Master change notifications may occur other than when joining or leaving a bridge, for example when being added to or removed from a bond or Open vSwitch.

When a node joins a cluster while we are transmitting a fragment stream over the broadcast link, it's missing the preceding fragments needed to build a meaningful message. As a result, the node has to drop it. However, as the fragment message is not acknowledged to its sender before it's dropped, it accidentally causes link reset of retransmission failure on the node.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: listener refactor part 16 A CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y build revealed an RCU splat I had to fix. I added const qualifiers to various md5 methods, as I expect to call them on behalf of request sock traffic even if the listener socket is not locked. This seems ok, but adding const makes the contract clearer. Note a good reduction of code size thanks to request/establish sockets convergence. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Thomas Graf says: ==================== rhashtable updates on top of Herbert's work Patch 1 is a bugfix for an RCU splash I encountered while testing. Patch 2 & 3 are pure cleanups. Patch 4 disables automatic shrinking by default as discussed in previous thread. Patch 5 removes some rhashtable internal knowledge from nft_hash and fixes another RCU splash. I've pushed various rhashtable tests (Netlink, nft) together with a Makefile to a git tree [0] for easier stress testing.

rhashtable_destroy() variant which stops rehashes, iterates over the table and calls a callback to release resources. Avoids need for nft_hash to embed rhashtable internals and allows to get rid of the being_destroyed flag. It also saves a 2nd mutex lock upon destruction. Also fixes an RCU lockdep splash on nft set destruction due to calling rht_for_each_entry_safe() without holding bucket locks. Open code this loop as we need know that no mutations may occur in parallel. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If vlan offloading takes place then vlan header is removed from frame and its contents, both vlan_tci and vlan_proto, is available to user space via TPACKET interface. However, only vlan_tci can be used in BPF filters. This commit introduces a new BPF extension. It makes possible to load the value of vlan_proto (vlan TPID) to register A. Support for classic BPF and eBPF is being added, analogous to skb->protocol.

When IPV6=m and TIPC=y, below error will appear during building kernel image: net/tipc/udp_media.c:196: undefined reference to `ip6_dst_lookup' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 As ip6_dst_lookup() is implemented in IPV6 and IPV6 is compiled as module, ip6_dst_lookup() is not built-in core kernel image. As a result, compiler cannot find 'ip6_dst_lookup' reference while compiling TIPC code into core kernel image.
