The check for pci_is_pcie() is redundant here because all chip versions >=18 are PCIe only anyway. In addition use dma_set_mask_and_coherent() instead of separate calls to pci_set_dma_mask() and pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(). Signed-off-by:

Until now, the Rx flow hash key was a 5-tuple (IP src, IP dst, IP nextproto, L4 src port, L4 dst port) fixed value that we configured at probe. Add support for configuring this hash key at runtime. We support all standard header fields configurable through ethtool, but cannot differentiate between flow types, so the same hash key is applied regardless of protocol. We also don't support the discard option. Signed-off-by:

The SPI protocol for the QCA7000 doesn't have any fault detection. In order to increase the drivers reliability in noisy environments, we could implement a write verification inspired by the enc28j60. This should avoid situations were the driver wrongly assumes the receive interrupt is enabled and miss all incoming packets. This function is disabled per default and can be controlled via module parameter wr_verify. Signed-off-by:

On processors with multi-engine crypto accelerators, it is possible that multiple records get encrypted in parallel and their encryption completion is notified to different cpus in multicore processor. This leads to the situation where tls_encrypt_done() starts executing in parallel on different cores. In current implementation, encrypted records are queued to tx_ready_list in tls_encrypt_done(). This requires addition to linked list 'tx_ready_list' to be protected. As tls_decrypt_done() could be executing in irq content, it is not possible to protect linked list addition operation using a lock. To fix the problem, we remove linked list addition operation from the irq context. We do tx_ready_list addition/removal operation from application context only and get rid of possible multiple access to the linked list. Before starting encryption on the record, we add it to the tail of tx_ready_list. To prevent tls_tx_records() from transmitting it, we mark the record with a new flag 'tx_ready' in 'struct tls_rec'. When record encryption gets completed, tls_encrypt_done() has to only update the 'tx_ready' flag to true & linked list add operation is not required. The changed logic brings some other side benefits. Since the records are always submitted in tls sequence number order for encryption, the tx_ready_list always remains sorted and addition of new records to it does not have to traverse the linked list. Lastly, we renamed tx_ready_list in 'struct tls_sw_context_tx' to 'tx_list'. This is because now, the some of the records at the tail are not ready to transmit.

Up until now, mlxsw tolerated firmware versions that weren't exactly matching the required version, if the branch number matched. That allowed the users to test various firmware versions as long as they were on the right branch. On the other hand, it made it impossible for mlxsw to put a hard lower bound on a version that fixes all problems known to date. If a user had a somewhat older FW version installed, mlxsw would start up just fine, possibly performing non-optimally as it would use features that trigger problematic behavior. Therefore tweak the check to accept any FW version that is: - on the same branch as the preferred version, and - the same as or newer than the preferred version. Signed-off-by:

Currently, ip[6]frag_high_thresh sysctl values in new namespaces are hard-limited to those of the root/init ns. There are at least two use cases when it would be desirable to set the high_thresh values higher in a child namespace vs the global hard limit: - a security/ddos protection policy may lower the thresholds in the root/init ns but allow for a special exception in a child namespace - testing: a test running in a namespace may want to set these thresholds higher in its namespace than what is in the root/init ns The new behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 The old behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 4194304 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 4194304 Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: switch to Early Departure Time model In the early days, pacing has been implemented in sch_fq (FQ) in a generic way : - SO_MAX_PACING_RATE could be used by any sockets. - TCP would vary effective pacing rate based on CWND*MSS/SRTT - FQ would ensure delays between packets based on current sk->sk_pacing_rate, but with some quantum based artifacts. (inflating RPC tail latencies) - BBR then tweaked the pacing rate in its various phases (PROBE, DRAIN, ...) This worked reasonably well, but had the side effect that TCP RTT samples would be inflated by the sojourn time of the packets in FQ. Also note that when FQ is not used and TCP wants pacing, the internal pacing fallback has very different behavior, since TCP emits packets at the time they should be sent (with unreasonable assumptions about scheduling costs) Van Jacobson gave a talk at Netdev 0x12 in Montreal, about letting TCP (or applications for UDP messages) decide of the Earliest Departure Time, instead of letting packet schedulers derive it from pacing rate. https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/session.html?evolving-from-afap-teaching-nics-about-time https://www.files.netdevconf.org/d/46def75c2ef345809bbe/files/?p=/Evolving%20from%20AFAP%20%E2%80%93%20Teaching%20NICs%20about%20time.pdf Recent additions in linux provided SO_TXTIME and a new ETF qdisc supporting the new skb->tstamp role This patch series converts TCP and FQ to the same model. This might in the future allow us to relax tight TSQ limits (if FQ is present in the output path), and thus lower number of callbacks to tcp_write_xmit(), thanks to batching. This will be followed by FQ change allowing SO_TXTIME support so that QUIC servers can let the pacing being done in FQ (or offloaded if network device permits) For example, a TCP flow rated at 24Mbps now shows a more meaningful RTT Before : ESTAB 0 211408 10.246.7.151:41558 10.246.7.152:33723 cubic wscale:8,8 rto:203 rtt:2.195/0.084 mss:1448 rcvmss:536 advmss:1448 cwnd:20 ssthresh:20 bytes_acked:36897937 segs_out:25488 segs_in:12454 data_segs_out:25486 send 105.5Mbps lastsnd:1 lastrcv:12851 lastack:1 pacing_rate 24.0Mbps/24.0Mbps delivery_rate 22.9Mbps busy:12851ms unacked:4 rcv_space:29200 notsent:205616 minrtt:0.026 After : ESTAB 0 192584 10.246.7.151:61612 10.246.7.152:34375 cubic wscale:8,8 rto:201 rtt:0.165/0.129 mss:1448 rcvmss:536 advmss:1448 cwnd:20 ssthresh:20 bytes_acked:170755401 segs_out:117931 segs_in:57651 data_segs_out:117929 send 1404.1Mbps lastsnd:1 lastrcv:56915 lastack:1 pacing_rate 24.0Mbps/24.0Mbps delivery_rate 24.2Mbps busy:56915ms unacked:4 rcv_space:29200 notsent:186792 minrtt:0.054 A nice side effect of this patch series is a reduction of max/p99 latencies of RPC workloads, since the FQ quantum no longer adds artifact. ==================== Signed-off-by:

TCP keeps track of tcp_wstamp_ns by itself, meaning sch_fq no longer has to do it. Thanks to this model, TCP can get more accurate RTT samples, since pacing no longer inflates them. This has the nice effect of removing some delays caused by FQ quantum mechanism, causing inflated max/P99 latencies. Also we might relax TCP Small Queue tight limits in the future, since this new model allow TCP to build bigger batches, since sch_fq (or a device with earliest departure time offload) ensure these packets will be delivered on time. Note that other protocols are not converted (they will probably never be) so sch_fq has still support for SO_MAX_PACING_RATE Tested: Test showing FQ pacing quantum artifact for low-rate flows, adding unexpected throttles for RPC flows, inflating max and P99 latencies. The parameters chosen here are to show what happens typically when a TCP flow has a reduced pacing rate (this can be caused by a reduced cwin after few losses, or/and rtt above few ms) MIBS="MIN_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY" Before : $ netperf -H 10.246.7.133 -t TCP_RR -Cc -T6,6 -- -q 2000000 -r 100,100 -o $MIBS MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.133 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind Minimum Latency Microseconds,Mean Latency Microseconds,Maximum Latency Microseconds,99th Percentile Latency Microseconds,Stddev Latency Microseconds 19,82.78,5279,3825,482.02 After : $ netperf -H 10.246.7.133 -t TCP_RR -Cc -T6,6 -- -q 2000000 -r 100,100 -o $MIBS MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.133 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind Minimum Latency Microseconds,Mean Latency Microseconds,Maximum Latency Microseconds,99th Percentile Latency Microseconds,Stddev Latency Microseconds 20,49.94,128,63,3.18 Signed-off-by:
