Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-24 This series contains fixes to ixgbevf, igb and ice drivers. Colin Ian King fixes the return value on error for the new XDP support that went into ixgbevf for 4.17. Vinicius provides a fix for queue 0 for igb, which was not receiving all the credits it needed when QAV mode was enabled. Anirudh provides several fixes for the new ice driver, starting with properly initializing num_nodes_added to zero. Fixed up a code comment to better reflect what is really going on in the code. Fixed how to detect if an OICR interrupt has occurred to a more reliable method. Md Fahad fixes the ice driver to allocate the right amount of memory when reading and storing the devices MAC addresses. The device can have up to 2 MAC addresses (LAN and WoL), while WoL is currently not supported, we need to ensure it can be properly handled when support is added. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Chris Novakovic says: ==================== ipconfig: NTP server support, bug fixes, documentation improvements This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig: - Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter. - Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name servers. - Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP server, rather than those of DNS name servers. - Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than hardcoding it to 2. - Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt. - Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to /proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used. - Patch #7 creates a new procfs directory for ipconfig-related configuration reports at /proc/net/ipconfig. - Patch #8 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting their root filesystem. NTP server IP addresses are written to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. Changes from v1: - David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8. - Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be dropped.

Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the boot process). Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as follows: - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter. - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent DHCPOFFER message. ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS root filesystem).

ic_nameservers, which stores the list of name servers discovered by ipconfig, is initialised (i.e. has all of its elements set to NONE, or 0xffffffff) by ic_nameservers_predef() in the following scenarios: - before the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters are parsed (in ip_auto_config_setup()); - before autoconfiguring via DHCP or BOOTP (in ic_bootp_init()), in order to clear any values that may have been set after parsing "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" and are no longer needed. This means that ic_nameservers_predef() is not called when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" is specified on the kernel command line. In this scenario, every element in ic_nameservers remains set to 0x00000000, which is indistinguishable from ANY and causes pnp_seq_show() to write the following (bogus) information to /proc/net/pnp: #MANUAL nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 This is potentially problematic for systems that blindly link /etc/resolv.conf to /proc/net/pnp. Ensure that ic_nameservers is also initialised when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" are specified by calling ic_nameservers_predef() in ip_auto_config(), but only when ip_auto_config_setup() was not called earlier. This causes the following to be written to /proc/net/pnp, and is consistent with what gets written when ipconfig is configured manually but no name servers are specified on the kernel command line: #MANUAL Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() always allocates 8 bytes for the name server option, limiting the BOOTP server to responding with at most 2 name servers even though ipconfig in fact supports an arbitrary number of name servers (as defined by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX, which is currently 3). Only request name servers in the request packet if CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX is positive (to comply with [1, §3.8]), and allocate enough space in the packet for CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers to indicate the maximum number we can accept in response.

When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() allocates 8 bytes for tag 5 ("Name Server" [1, §3.7]), but tag 5 in the response isn't processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(). Instead, allocate the 8 bytes to tag 6 ("Domain Name Server" [1, §3.8]), which is processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(), and appears to have been the intended tag to request. This won't cause any breakage for existing users, as tag 5 responses provided by BOOTP servers weren't being processed anyway.

Commit 5e953778 ("ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=") adds the IP addresses of discovered name servers to the summary printed by ipconfig when configuration is complete. It appears the intention in ip_auto_config() was to print the name servers on a new line (especially given the spacing and lack of comma before "nameserver0="), but they're actually printed on the same line as the NFS root filesystem configuration summary: [ 0.686186] IP-Config: Complete: [ 0.686226] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1 [ 0.686328] host=test, domain=example.com, nis-domain=(none) [ 0.686386] bootserver=10.0.0.1, rootserver=10.0.0.1, rootpath= nameserver0=10.0.0.1 This makes it harder to read and parse ipconfig's output. Instead, print the name servers on a separate line: [ 0.791250] IP-Config: Complete: [ 0.791289] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1 [ 0.791407] host=test, domain=example.com, nis-domain=(none) [ 0.791475] bootserver=10.0.0.1, rootserver=10.0.0.1, rootpath= [ 0.791476] nameserver0=10.0.0.1 Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

NeilBrown authored
When a walk of an rhashtable is interrupted with rhastable_walk_stop() and then rhashtable_walk_start(), the location to restart from is based on a 'skip' count in the current hash chain, and this can be incorrect if insertions or deletions have happened. This does not happen when the walk is not stopped and started as iter->p is a placeholder which is safe to use while holding the RCU read lock. In rhashtable_walk_start() we can revalidate that 'p' is still in the same hash chain. If it isn't then the current method is still used. With this patch, if a rhashtable walker ensures that the current object remains in the table over a stop/start period (possibly by elevating the reference count if that is sufficient), it can be sure that a walk will not miss objects that were in the hashtable for the whole time of the walk. rhashtable_walk_start() may not find the object even though it is still in the hashtable if a rehash has moved it to a new table. In this case it will (eventually) get -EAGAIN and will need to proceed through the whole table again to be sure to see everything at least once.

When Qav mode is enabled, queue 0 should be kept on Stream Reservation mode. From the i210 datasheet, section 8.12.19: "Note: Queue0 QueueMode must be set to 1b when TransmitMode is set to Qav." ("QueueMode 1b" represents the Stream Reservation mode) The solution is to give queue 0 the all the credits it might need, so it has priority over queue 1. A situation where this can happen is when cbs is "installed" only on queue 1, leaving queue 0 alone.

Tal Gilboa says: ==================== Introduce adaptive TX interrupt moderation to net DIM Net DIM is a library designed for dynamic interrupt moderation. It was implemented and optimized with receive side interrupts in mind, since these are usually the CPU expensive ones. This patch-set introduces adaptive transmit interrupt moderation to net DIM, complete with a usage in the mlx5e driver. Using adaptive TX behavior would reduce interrupt rate for multiple scenarios. Furthermore, it is essential for increasing bandwidth on cases where payload aggregation is required. v3: Remove "inline" from functions in .c files (requested by DaveM).

Add support for adaptive TX moderation. This greatly reduces TX interrupt rate and increases bandwidth, mostly for TCP bandwidth over ARM architecture (below). There is a slight single stream TCP with very large message sizes degradation (x86). In this case if there's any moderation on transmitted packets the bandwidth would reduce due to hitting TCP output limit. Since this is a synthetic case, this is still worth doing. Performance improvement (ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, ARM) TCP 64B bandwidth with 1-50 streams increased 6-35%. TCP 64B bandwidth with 100-500 streams increased 20-70%. Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: increased up to 40% (1024B with 10s of streams). Interrupt rate: reduced up to 50% (1024B with 1000s of streams). Performance degradation (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: up to 10% decrease single stream TCP (1MB message size from 51Gb/s to 47Gb/s).

Interrupt moderation for TX traffic requires different profiles than RX interrupt moderation. The main goal here is to reduce interrupt rate and allow better payload aggregation by keeping SKBs in the TX queue a bit longer. Ping-pong behavior would get a profile with a short timer, so latency wouldn't increase for these scenarios. There might be a slight degradation in bandwidth for single stream with large message sizes, since net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes is limiting the allowed TX traffic, but with many streams performance is always improved.

Similar to commit a2ac9990 ("vhost-net: set packet weight of tx polling to 2 * vq size"), we need a packet-based limit for handler_rx, too - elsewhere, under rx flood with small packets, tx can be delayed for a very long time, even without busypolling. The pkt limit applied to handle_rx must be the same applied by handle_tx, or we will get unfair scheduling between rx and tx. Tying such limit to the queue length makes it less effective for large queue length values and can introduce large process scheduler latencies, so a constant valued is used - likewise the existing bytes limit. The selected limit has been validated with PVP[1] performance test with different queue sizes: queue size 256 512 1024 baseline 366 354 362 weight 128 715 723 670 weight 256 740 745 733 weight 512 600 460 583 weight 1024 423 427 418 A packet weight of 256 gives peek performances in under all the tested scenarios. No measurable regression in unidirectional performance tests has been detected.
