Florian Westphal says: ==================== tcp: re-add header prediction Eric reported a performance regression caused by header prediction removal. We now call tcp_ack() much more frequently, for some workloads this brings in enough cache line misses to become noticeable. We could possibly still kill HP provided we find a different way to suppress unneeded tcp_ack, but given we're late in the cycle it seems preferable to revert. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This reverts commit 45f119bf. Eric Dumazet says: We found at Google a significant regression caused by 45f119bf tcp: remove header prediction In typical RPC (TCP_RR), when a TCP socket receives data, we now call tcp_ack() while we used to not call it. This touches enough cache lines to cause a slowdown. so problem does not seem to be HP removal itself but the tcp_ack() call. Therefore, it might be possible to remove HP after all, provided one finds a way to elide tcp_ack for most cases. Reported-by:

When moving the IRDA code out of net/ into drivers/staging/irda/net, the link order changes when IRDA is built into the kernel. That causes a kernel crash at boot time as netfilter isn't initialized yet. To fix this, move the init call level of the irda core to be device_initcall() as the link order keeps this being initialized at the correct time. Reported-by:

Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the too small neigh limit. Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default (~212992 bytes on 64bit arches). Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more packets to be queued, at least for one producer. Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN. Signed-off-by:

The GENET driver currently uses __raw_{read,write}l which means native I/O endian. This works correctly for an ARM LE kernel (default) but fails miserably on an ARM BE (BE8) kernel where registers are kept little endian, so replace uses with {read,write}l_relaxed here which is what we want because this is all performance sensitive code.

There is a difference in the bit position of the normal interrupt summary enable (NIE) and abnormal interrupt summary enable (AIE) between revisions of the hardware. For older revisions the NIE and AIE bits are positions 16 and 15 respectively. For newer revisions the NIE and AIE bits are positions 15 and 14. The effect in changing the bit position is that newer hardware won't receive AIE interrupts in the current version of the driver. Specifically, the driver uses this interrupt to collect statistics on when a receive buffer unavailable event occurs and to restart the driver/device when a fatal bus error occurs. Update the driver to set the interrupt enable bit based on the reported version of the hardware. Signed-off-by:

Jiri Benc says: ==================== nsh: headers, GSO This adds header structs and helpers for NSH together with GSO support. Note there is no code in this patchset that actually manipulates the NSH headers. That was sent to netdev by Yi Yang ("[PATCH net-next v6 0/3] openvswitch: add NSH support"). The aim of this series is to lay the groundwork and ease the implementation for him. In addition to openvswitch, the NSH support should be added to tc (flower to match, act_nsh to push/pop NSH headers). That will come later. There's currently no plan to support NSH by other means than those two. The patch 3 in this patchset was written by Yi Yang, I took it from the aforementioned series and slightly modified it - see the note in the patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Jiri Benc authored
Add a new nsh/ directory. It currently holds only GSO functions but more will come: in particular, code shared by openvswitch and tc to manipulate NSH headers. For now, assume there's no hardware support for NSH segmentation. We can always introduce netdev->nsh_features later. Signed-off-by:

NSH (Network Service Header)[1] is a new protocol for service function chaining, it can be handled as a L3 protocol like IPv4 and IPv6, Eth + NSH + Inner packet or VxLAN-gpe + NSH + Inner packet are two typical use cases. This patch adds NSH header structures and helpers for NSH GSO support and Open vSwitch NSH support. [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sfc-nsh/ [Jiri: added nsh_hdr() helper and renamed the header struct to "struct nshhdr" to match the usual pattern. Removed packet type defines, these are now shared with VXLAN-GPE.] Signed-off-by:

The values are shared between VXLAN-GPE and NSH. Originally probably by coincidence but I notified both working groups about this last year and they seem to keep the values in sync since then. Hopefully they'll get a single IANA registry for the values, too. (I asked them for that.) Factor out the code to be shared by the NSH implementation. NSH and MPLS values are added in this patch, too. For MPLS, the drafts incorrectly assign only a single value, while we have two MPLS ethertypes. I raised the problem with both groups. For now, I assume the value is for unicast. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the forces IFE lfb type according to IEEE registered ethertypes. See http://standards-oui.ieee.org/ethertype/eth.txt for more information. Since there exists the IFE subsystem it can be used there. This patch also use the correct word "ForCES" instead of "FoRCES" which is a spelling error inside the IEEE ethertype specification.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== Endian fixes for SYSTEMPORT/SF2/MDIO While trying an ARM BE kernel for kinks, the 3 drivers below started not working and the reasons why became pretty obvious because the register space remains LE (hardwired), except for Broadcom MIPS where it follows the CPU's native endian (let's call that a feature). ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Florian Fainelli authored
The driver currently uses __raw_{read,write}l which works for all platforms supported: Broadcom MIPS LE/BE (native endian), ARM LE (native endian) but not ARM BE (registers are still LE). Switch to using the proper accessors for all platforms and explain why Broadcom MIPS BE is special here, in doing so, we introduce a couple of helper functions to abstract these differences.

RSB_SWAP0 needs to match the host CPU endian, and it needs to be set for LE and clear for BE. RSB_SWAP1 must always be cleared for SYSTEMPORT Lite. With these settings, we have the Receive Status Block always match the host endian and we do not need to perform any conversion. Since there is not necessarily a CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN option defined, we test for !CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN which is guaranteed to be set. Signed-off-by:

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== XDP redirect tracepoints I feel this is as far as I can take the tracepoint infrastructure to assist XDP monitoring. Tracepoints comes with a base overhead of 25 nanosec for an attached bpf_prog, and 48 nanosec for using a full perf record. This is problematic for the XDP use-case, but it is very convenient to use the existing perf infrastructure. From a performance perspective, the real solution would be to attach another bpf_prog (that understand xdp_buff), but I'm not sure we want to introduce yet another bpf attach API for this. One thing left is to standardize the possible err return codes, to a limited set, to allow easier (and faster) mapping into a bpf map. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This tool xdp_monitor demonstrate how to use the different xdp_redirect tracepoints xdp_redirect{,_map}{,_err} from a BPF program. The default mode is to only monitor the error counters, to avoid affecting the per packet performance. Tracepoints comes with a base overhead of 25 nanosec for an attached bpf_prog, and 48 nanosec for using a full perf record (with non-matching filter). Thus, default loading the --stats mode could affect the maximum performance. This version of the tool is very simple and count all types of errors as one. It will be natural to extend this later with the different types of errors that can occur, which should help users quickly identify common mistakes. Because the TP_STRUCT was kept in sync all the tracepoints loads the same BPF code. It would also be natural to extend the map version to demonstrate how the map information could be used.

For supporting XDP_REDIRECT, a device driver must (obviously) implement the "TX" function ndo_xdp_xmit(). An additional requirement is you cannot TX out a device, unless it also have a xdp bpf program attached. This dependency is caused by the driver code need to setup XDP resources before it can ndo_xdp_xmit. Update bpf samples xdp_redirect and xdp_redirect_map to automatically attach a dummy XDP program to the configured ifindex_out device. Use the XDP flag XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST on the dummy load, to avoid overriding an existing XDP prog on the device. Signed-off-by:
