RFC8684 allows to send 32-bit DATA_ACKs as long as the peer is not sending 64-bit data-sequence numbers. The 64-bit DSN is only there for extreme scenarios when a very high throughput subflow is combined with a long-RTT subflow such that the high-throughput subflow wraps around the 32-bit sequence number space within an RTT of the high-RTT subflow. It is thus a rare scenario and we should try to use the 32-bit DATA_ACK instead as long as possible. It allows to reduce the TCP-option overhead by 4 bytes, thus makes space for an additional SACK-block. It also makes tcpdumps much easier to read when the DSN and DATA_ACK are both either 32 or 64-bit.

The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created. This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only. For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.

Add driver level bulking to the XDP_TX action. An array of frame descriptors is held for each Tx frame queue and populated accordingly when the action returned by the XDP program is XDP_TX. The frames will be actually enqueued only when the array is filled. At the end of the NAPI cycle a flush on the queued frames is performed in order to enqueue the remaining FDs.

Currently, different formulas are used to estimate the space that may be taken by WQEs in the SQ during a single packet transmit. This space is called stop room, and it's checked in the end of packet transmit to find out if the next packet could overflow the SQ. If it could, the driver tells the kernel to stop sending next packets. Many factors affect the stop room: 1. Padding with NOPs to avoid WQEs spanning over page boundaries. 2. Enabled and disabled offloads (TLS, upcoming MPWQE). 3. The maximum size of a WQE. The padding is performed before every WQE if it doesn't fit the current page. The current formula assumes that only one padding will be required per packet, and it doesn't take into account that the WQEs posted during the transmission of a single packet might exceed the page size in very rare circumstances. For example, to hit this condition with 4096-byte pages, TLS offload will have to interrupt an almost-full MPWQE session, be in the resync flow and try to transmit a near to maximum amount of data. To avoid SQ overflows in such rare cases after MPWQE is added, this patch introduces a more robust formula to estimate the stop room. The new formula uses the fact that a WQE of size X will not require more than X-1 WQEBBs of padding. More exact estimations are possible, but they result in much more complex and error-prone code for little gain. Before this patch, the TLS stop room included space for both INNOVA and ConnectX TLS offloads that couldn't run at the same time anyway, so this patch accounts only for the active one.

On systems with page size larger than 4K, a fwp object has few 4K chunks. Fix a bug in fwp free flow where the chunk address was dropped and fwp->addr was used instead (first chunk address). This caused a wrong update of fwp->bitmask which later can cause errors in re-alloc fwp chunk flow. In order to fix this it, re-factor the release flow: - Free 4k: Releases a specific 4k chunk inside the fwp, defined by starting address. - Free fwp: Unconditionally release the whole fwp and its resources. Free addr will call free fwp if all chunks were released, in order to do code sharing. In addition, fix npages to count for all released chunks correctly.

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== mptcp: fix MP_JOIN failure handling Currently if we hit an MP_JOIN failure on the third ack, the child socket is closed with reset, but the request socket is not deleted, causing weird behaviors. The main problem is that MPTCP's MP_JOIN code needs to plug it's own 'valid 3rd ack' checks and the current TCP callbacks do not allow that. This series tries to address the above shortcoming introducing a new MPTCP specific bit in a 'struct tcp_request_sock' hole, and leveraging that to allow tcp_check_req releasing the request socket when needed. The above allows cleaning-up a bit current MPTCP hooking in tcp_check_req(). An alternative solution, possibly cleaner but more invasive, would be changing the 'bool *own_req' syn_recv_sock() argument into 'int *req_status' and let MPTCP set it to 'REQ_DROP'. v1 -> v2: - be more conservative about drop_req initialization RFC -> v1: - move the drop_req bit inside tcp_request_sock (Eric) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, on MP_JOIN failure we reset the child socket, but leave the request socket untouched. tcp_check_req will deal with it according to the 'tcp_abort_on_overflow' sysctl value - by default the req socket will stay alive. The above leads to inconsistent behavior on MP JOIN failure, and bad listener overflow accounting. This patch addresses the issue leveraging the infrastructure just introduced to ask the TCP stack to drop the req on failure. The child socket is not freed anymore by subflow_syn_recv_sock(), instead it's moved to a dead state and will be disposed by the next sock_put done by the TCP stack, so that listener overflow accounting is not affected by MP JOIN failure.

MP_JOIN subflows must not land into the accept queue. Currently tcp_check_req() calls an mptcp specific helper to detect such scenario. Such helper leverages the subflow context to check for MP_JOIN subflows. We need to deal also with MP JOIN failures, even when the subflow context is not available due allocation failure. A possible solution would be changing the syn_recv_sock() signature to allow returning a more descriptive action/ error code and deal with that in tcp_check_req(). Since the above need is MPTCP specific, this patch instead uses a TCP request socket hole to add a MPTCP specific flag. Such flag is used by the MPTCP syn_recv_sock() to tell tcp_check_req() how to deal with the request socket. This change is a no-op for !MPTCP build, and makes the MPTCP code simpler. It allows also the next patch to deal correctly with MP JOIN failure. v1 -> v2: - be more conservative on drop_req initialization (Mat) RFC -> v1: - move the drop_req bit inside tcp_request_sock (Eric) Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Paasch <cpaasch@apple.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vlad Buslov says: ==================== Implement classifier-action terse dump mode Output rate of current upstream kernel TC filter dump implementation if relatively low (~100k rules/sec depending on configuration). This constraint impacts performance of software switch implementation that rely on TC for their datapath implementation and periodically call TC filter dump to update rules stats. Moreover, TC filter dump output a lot of static data that don't change during the filter lifecycle (filter key, specific action details, etc.) which constitutes significant portion of payload on resulting netlink packets and increases amount of syscalls necessary to dump all filters on particular Qdisc. In order to significantly improve filter dump rate this patch sets implement new mode of TC filter dump operation named "terse dump" mode. In this mode only parameters necessary to identify the filter (handle, action cookie, etc.) and data that can change during filter lifecycle (filter flags, action stats, etc.) are preserved in dump output while everything else is omitted. Userspace API is implemented using new TCA_DUMP_FLAGS tlv with only available flag value TCA_DUMP_FLAGS_TERSE. Internally, new API requires individual classifier support (new tcf_proto_ops->terse_dump() callback). Support for action terse dump is implemented in act API and don't require changing individual action implementations. The following table provides performance comparison between regular filter dump and new terse dump mode for two classifier-action profiles: one minimal config with L2 flower classifier and single gact action and another heavier config with L2+5tuple flower classifier with tunnel_key+mirred actions. Classifier-action type | dump | terse dump | X improvement | (rules/sec) | (rules/sec) | -----------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- L2 with gact | 141.8 | 293.2 | 2.07 L2+5tuple tunnel_key+mirred | 76.4 | 198.8 | 2.60 Benchmark details: to measure the rate tc filter dump and terse dump commands are invoked on ingress Qdisc that have one million filters configured using following commands. > time sudo tc -s filter show dev ens1f0 ingress >/dev/null > time sudo tc -s filter show terse dev ens1f0 ingress >/dev/null Value in results table is calculated by dividing 1000000 total rules by "real" time reported by time command.
