Adjusted nicvf structure such that all elements used in hot path like napi, xmit e.t.c fall into same cache line. This reduced no of cache misses and resulted in ~2% increase in no of packets handled on a core. Also modified elements with :1 notation to boolean, to be consistent with other element definitions.

Gregory CLEMENT says: ==================== API set for HW Buffer management This is the sixth version of the API set for HW Buffer management (that was initially submitted here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152). This version is just a rebasing onto the last net-next. I also added the Tested-by flag from Sebastian Careba : "The patch set applies successfully and it works well, no more Samba issues any longer". For the record in the previous versions I made the following changes: v4 -> v5: - Add a field with the size of the buffer of the pool was added. It then allow to fix some misused size in the mvneta_bm code when using the new framework. - Add a new patch from Marcin for sram allowing to require non-bufferable access to the memory. It was needed for the hardware buffer management of the mvneta. - Fix the build issue notified by the 0-day builder when building the drivers as module. v3 -> v4 - Fix build issue when HWBM is not selected v2 -> v3 - Make a HWBM and a SWBM version of the mvneta_rx() function in order to reduce the the conditional code. Kept a condition inside the mvneta_poll because specializing this function would have means duplicating 95% of the code. - Put back the register_netdev() call at the end of the mvneta_probe() function. In order to have a unique ID for each port, just used a global variable in the driver. - Added a fix from Marcin in the "net: mvneta: bm: add support for hardware buffer management" patch: "when dropping packets, only buffer pointers passed from BM to descriptors have to be returned to the pool. In submitted version after closing the port and mvneta_rxq_deinit(), it was very likely that a lot of fake buffers are added to the pool, because all descriptors took part in iteration." - Removed the select MVNETA_BM from the Kconfig, it will let the user the choice to use not use it if they want. v1 -> v2 - The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected by the driver if needed - The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs. - buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping - A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in SMP or irq context. - used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors. - fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool at various place instead of ignoring it. - Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for obtaining IO and DRAM window information. - Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series. - Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:" - Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it - Modified the order of the patches. In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v6 is available at git@github.com:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Buffer manager (BM) is a dedicated hardware unit that can be used by all ethernet ports of Armada XP and 38x SoC's. It allows to offload CPU on RX path by sparing DRAM access on refilling buffer pool, hardware-based filling of descriptor ring data and better memory utilization due to HW arbitration for using 'short' pools for small packets. Tests performed with A388 SoC working as a network bridge between two packet generators showed increase of maximum processed 64B packets by ~20k (~555k packets with BM enabled vs ~535 packets without BM). Also when pushing 1500B-packets with a line rate achieved, CPU load decreased from around 25% without BM to 20% with BM. BM comprise up to 4 buffer pointers' (BP) rings kept in DRAM, which are called external BP pools - BPPE. Allocating and releasing buffer pointers (BP) to/from BPPE is performed indirectly by write/read access to a dedicated internal SRAM, where internal BP pools (BPPI) are placed. BM hardware controls status of BPPE automatically, as well as assigning proper buffers to RX descriptors. For more details please refer to Functional Specification of Armada XP or 38x SoC. In order to enable support for a separate hardware block, common for all ports, a new driver has to be implemented ('mvneta_bm'). It provides initialization sequence of address space, clocks, registers, SRAM, empty pools' structures and also obtaining optional configuration from DT (please refer to device tree binding documentation). mvneta_bm exposes also a necessary API to mvneta driver, as well as a dedicated structure with BM information (bm_priv), whose presence is used as a flag notifying of BM usage by port. It has to be ensured that mvneta_bm probe is executed prior to the ones in ports' driver. In case BM is not used or its probe fails, mvneta falls back to use software buffer management. A sequence executed in mvneta_probe function is modified in order to have an access to needed resources before possible port's BM initialization is done. According to port-pools mapping provided by DT appropriate registers are configured and the buffer pools are filled. RX path is modified accordingly. Becaues the hardware allows a wide variety of configuration options, following assumptions are made: * using BM mechanisms can be selectively disabled/enabled basing on DT configuration among the ports * 'long' pool's single buffer size is tied to port's MTU * using 'long' pool by port is obligatory and it cannot be shared * using 'short' pool for smaller packets is optional * one 'short' pool can be shared among all ports This commit enables hardware buffer management operation cooperating with existing mvneta driver. New device tree binding documentation is added and the one of mvneta is updated accordingly.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Fix differences between IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum calculation This patch series is meant to address the differences that exist between IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of checksum calculation. Specifically the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic treated length as a value that could be greater than 64K, while csum_tcpudp_magic was truncating the length at 16 bits. After looking over the code and giving it some thought I decided it would be best to update the IPv4 function so that it worked the same way the IPv6 one did. This allows us to get the same results given the same inputs for both functions. As a result we can use the same processes to reverse the calculation in the event we need to do something like remove the length of the pseudo-header checksum. I also took the opportunity to standardize things so that the parameters for these functions all use the correct types. IPv4 addresses are __be32, length should always be __u32, and protocol is a __u8. With this change in place it corrects an issue with UDP tunnels in which we were getting a checksum that was off by 1 when performing fragmentation on inner UDP packets. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Alexander Duyck authored
It is possible for tunnels to end up generating IP or IPv6 datagrams that are larger than 64K and expecting to be segmented. As such we need to deal with length values greater than 64K. In order to accommodate this we need to update the code to work with a 32b length value instead of a 16b one. Signed-off-by:

This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value. This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be present in how we handle the data. For example there are a number of places that call htonl on the protocol value. This is likely not necessary and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be converted to a shift by the compiler. Signed-off-by:

Alexander Duyck authored
This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source inputs. For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which is actually an unsigned 8 bit value. The length is usually populated based on skb->len which is an unsigned integer. This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits. As a result we could run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no protocol agnostic way to update it. With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use "(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop the inner headers at ~64K in size. I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length, or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the value. I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for the addresses. Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions were in sync going forward. Signed-off-by:

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this. Reported-by:

Sabrina Dubroca says: ==================== MACsec IEEE 802.1AE implementation MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE [0]) is a protocol that provides security for wired ethernet LANs. MACsec offers two protection modes: authentication only, or authenticated encryption. MACsec defines "secure channels" that allow transmission from one node to one or more others. Communication on a channel is done over a succession of "secure associations", that each use a specific key. Secure associations are identified by their "association number" in the range 0..3. A secure association is retired when its 32-bit packet number would wrap, and the same association number can later be reused with a new key and packet number. The standard mode of encryption is GCM AES with 128 bits keys, although an extension allows 256 bits keys [1] (not implemented in this submission). When using MACsec, an extra header, called "SecTAG", is added between the ethernet header and the original payload: +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | (MACsec ethertype) | TCI_AN | SL | +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | Packet Number | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Secure Channel Identifier | | (optional) | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ TCI_AN: version end_station sci_present scb encrypted changed_text association_number (2 bits) SL: short_length (6 bits) unused (2 bits) The ethertype for the packet is set to 0x88E5, and the original ethertype becomes part of the secure payload, which may be encrypted. The ethernet header and the SecTAG are always transmitted in the clear, but are integrity-protected. MACsec supports optional replay protection with a configurable replay window. MACsec is designed to be used with the MKA extension to 802.1X (MACsec Key Agreement protocol) [2], which provides channel attribution and key distribution to the nodes, but can also be used with static keys getting fed manually by an administrator. Optional (not supported yet) features: - confidentiality offset: in encryption mode, part of the payload may be left unencrypted. - choice of cipher suite: GCM AES with 256 bits has been standardised [1]. Implementation A netdevice is created on top of a real device for each TX secure channel, like we do for VLANs. Multiple TX channels can be created on top of the same underlying device. Several other approaches were considered for the RX path: - dev_add_pack: doesn't work, because we want to filter out unprotected packets - transparent mode: MACsec would be enabled directly on the real netdevice. For this, we cannot use a rx_handler directly because MACsec must be available for underlying devices enslaved in a bridge or in a bond, so we need a hook directly in __netif_receive_skb_core. This approach makes it harder to filter non-encrypted packets on RX without forcing the user to setup some rules, so the "transparent" mode is not so transparent after all. It also makes TX more complex than with a dedicated netdevice. One issue with the proposed implementation is that the qdisc layer for the real device operates on already encrypted packets. Netlink API This is currently a mix of rtnetlink (to create the device and set up the TX channel) and genl (for RX channels, secure associations and their keys). genl provides clean demultiplexing of the {TX,RX}{SC,SA} commands. Use cases The normal use case is wired LANs, including veth and slave devices for bonding/teaming or bridges. MACsec can also be used on any device that makes a full ethernet header visible, for example VXLAN. The VXLAN+MACsec setup would be: hypervisor | virtual machine <real_dev>---<VXLAN>---|---<dev>---<macsec_dev> And the packets would look like this: | eth | IP | UDP | VXLAN | eth | MACsec | IP | ... | MACsec ICV | One benefit on this approach to encryption in the cloud is that the payload is encrypted by the tenant, not by the tunnel provider, thus the tenant has full control over the keys. Changes from v1: - rework netlink API after discussion with Johannes Berg - nest attributes, rename - export stats as separate attributes - add some comments - misc small fixes (rcu, constants, struct organization) Changes from RFCv2: - fix ENCODING_SA param validation - add parent link to netlink ifdumps Changes from RFCv1: - addressed comments from Florian and Paolo + kbuild robot - also perform post-decrypt handling after crypto callback - fixed ->dellink behavior Future plans: - offload to hardware, on nics that support it - implement optional features [0] http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1AE-2006.pdf [1] http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1AEbn-2011.pdf [2] http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1X-2010.pdf [3] RFCv1: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg358151.html [4] RFCv2: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg362389.html [5] v1: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg367959.html ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Bulk free of SKBs happen transparently by the API call napi_consume_skb(). The napi budget parameter is usually needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if called from netpoll. In this patch it has an extra meaning. For mlx4 driver, the mlx4_en_stop_port() call is done outside NAPI/softirq context, and cleanup the entire TX ring via mlx4_en_free_tx_buf(). The code mlx4_en_free_tx_desc() for freeing SKBs are shared with NAPI calls. To handle this shared use the zero budget indication is reused, and handled appropriately in napi_consume_skb(). To reflect this, variable is called napi_mode for the function call that needed this distinction. Signed-off-by:

Some drivers reuse/share code paths that free SKBs between NAPI and non-NAPI calls. Adjust napi_consume_skb to handle this use-case. Before, calls from netpoll (w/ IRQs disabled) was handled and indicated with a budget zero indication. Use the same zero indication to handle calls not originating from NAPI/softirq. Simply handled by using dev_consume_skb_any(). This adds an extra branch+call for the netpoll case (checking in_irq() + irqs_disabled()), but that is okay as this is a slowpath. Suggested-by:

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more often than anticipated specially with big MTUs. This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC. In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often. Signed-off-by:
