Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the expectations. When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more successful. tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of latencies. Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning the socket will call various handlers right before socket release. This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them sooner) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: H.K.

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware has support for one shot packet transmission. This means that a packet will be attempted to be sent once, with no automatic retries. The SocketCAN core has a controller-wide setting for this mode: CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT. The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware supports this flag on a per-packet level, but the SocketCAN core does not.

If the bus error quota is set to infinite and the host CPU cannot keep up, the Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware will stop responding to control messages until the controller is reset. The firmware will automatically stop sending bus error messages when the quota is reached, and will only resume sending bus error messages when the quota is re-set to a positive value. This limitation is worked around by setting the bus error quota to one message, and then re-setting the quota to one message every time a bus error message is received. By doing this, the firmware never stops responding to control messages. The CAN bus can be reset without a hard-reset of the controller card. Signed-off-by: Ira W.

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware does not support any sort of TX-done notification or interrupt. The driver previously used the hardware loopback to attempt to work around this deficiency, but this caused all sockets to receive all messages, even if CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is off. Using the new function ican3_cmp_echo_skb(), we can drop the loopback messages and return the original skbs. This fixes the issues with CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS. A private skb queue is used to store the echo skbs. This avoids the need for any index management. Due to a lack of TX-error interrupts, bus errors are permanently enabled, and are used as a TX-error notification. This is used to drop an echo skb when transmission fails. Bus error packets are not generated if the user has not enabled bus error reporting. Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder <iws@ovro.caltech.edu> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

The error and byte counter statistics were being incremented incorrectly. For example, a TX error would be counted both in tx_errors and rx_errors. This corrects the problem so that tx_errors and rx_errors are only incremented for errors caused by packets sent to the bus. Error packets generated by the driver are not counted. The byte counters are only increased for packets which are actually transmitted or received from the bus. Error packets generated by the driver are not counted. Signed-off-by: Ira W.

This patch adds support for a second clock to the flexcan driver. On modern freescale ARM cores like the imx53 and imx6q two clocks ("ipg" and "per") must be enabled in order to access the CAN core. In the original driver, the clock was requested without specifying the connection id, further all mainline ARM archs with flexcan support (imx28, imx25, imx35) register their flexcan clock without a connection id, too. This patch first renames the existing clk variable to clk_ipg and converts it to devm for easier error handling. The connection id "ipg" is added to the devm_clk_get() call. Then a second clock "per" is requested. As all archs don't specify a connection id, both clk_get return the same clock. This ensures compatibility to existing flexcan support and adds support for imx53 at the same time. After this patch hits mainline, the archs may give their existing flexcan clock the "ipg" connection id and implement a dummy "per" clock. This patch has been tested on imx28 (unmodified clk tree) and on imx53 with a seperate "ipg" and "per" clock.

In trusted networks, e.g., intranet, data-center, the client does not need to use Fast Open cookie to mitigate DoS attacks.

On paths with firewalls dropping SYN with data or experimental TCP options, Fast Open connections will have experience SYN timeout and bad performance. The solution is to track such incidents in the cookie cache and disables Fast Open temporarily. Since only the original SYN includes data and/or Fast Open option, the SYN-ACK has some tell-tale sign (tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()) to detect such drops. If a path has recurring Fast Open SYN drops, Fast Open is disabled for 2^(recurring_losses) minutes starting from four minutes up to roughly one and half day. sendmsg with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will succeed but it behaves as connect() then write().

sendmsg() (or sendto()) with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combo of connect(2) and write(2). The application should replace connect() with it to send data in the opening SYN packet. For blocking socket, sendmsg() blocks until all the data are buffered locally and the handshake is completed like connect() call. It returns similar errno like connect() if the TCP handshake fails. For non-blocking socket, it returns the number of bytes queued (and transmitted in the SYN-data packet) if cookie is available. If cookie is not available, it transmits a data-less SYN packet with Fast Open cookie request option and returns -EINPROGRESS like connect(). Using MSG_FASTOPEN on connecting or connected socket will result in simlar errno like repeating connect() calls. Therefore the application should only use this flag on new sockets. The buffer size of sendmsg() is independent of the MSS of the connection. Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch implements sending SYN-data in tcp_connect(). The data is from tcp_sendmsg() with flag MSG_FASTOPEN (implemented in a later patch). The length of the cookie in tcp_fastopen_req, init'd to 0, controls the type of the SYN. If the cookie is not cached (len==0), the host sends data-less SYN with Fast Open cookie request option to solicit a cookie from the remote. If cookie is not available (len > 0), the host sends a SYN-data with Fast Open cookie option. If cookie length is negative, the SYN will not include any Fast Open option (for fall back operations). To deal with middleboxes that may drop SYN with data or experimental TCP option, the SYN-data is only sent once. SYN retransmits do not include data or Fast Open options. The connection will fall back to regular TCP handshake. Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server. 1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP. When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports both numbers for transistion. 2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen 3.

In its receive path, mlx4_en driver maps each page chunk that it pushes to the hardware and unmaps it when pushing it up the stack. This limits throughput to about 3Gbps on a Power7 8-core machine. One solution is to map the entire allocated page at once. However, this requires that we keep track of every page fragment we give to a descriptor. We also need to work with the discipline that all fragments will be released (in the sense that it will not be reused by the driver anymore) in the order they are allocated to the driver. This requires that we don't reuse any fragments, every single one of them must be reallocated. We do that by releasing all the fragments that are processed and only after finished processing the descriptors, we start the refill. We also must somehow guarantee that we either refill all fragments in a descriptor or none at all, without resorting to giving up a page fragment that we would have already given. Otherwise, we would break the discipline of only releasing the fragments in the order they were allocated. This has passed page allocation fault injections (restricted to the driver by using required-start and required-end) and device hotplug while 16 TCP streams were able to deliver more than 9Gbps.

commit 9ac32e1b firmware: convert e100 driver to request_firmware() did a straight conversion of the in-driver ucode to external files. This introduced the possibility of the driver failing to enable an interface due to missing ucode. There was no evaluation of the importance of the ucode at the time. Based on comments in earlier versions of this driver, and in the source code for the FreeBSD fxp driver, we can assume that the ucode implements the "CPU Cycle Saver" feature on supported adapters. Although generally wanted, this is an optional feature. The ucode source is not available, preventing it from being included in free distributions. This creates unnecessary problems for the end users. Doing a network install based on a free distribution installer requires the user to download and insert the ucode into the installer. Making the ucode optional when possible improves the user experience and driver usability. The ucode for some adapters include a bugfix, making it essential. We continue to fail for these adapters unless the ucode is available. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The current code for reading the EEPROM via ethtool in the asix driver has a few issues. It cannot handle odd length values (accesses must be aligned at 16 bit boundaries) and interprets the offset provided by ethtool as 16 bit word offset instead as byte offset. The new code for asix_get_eeprom() introduced by this patch is modeled after the code in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1e/atl1e_ethtool.c and provides read access to the entire EEPROM with arbitrary offsets and lengths.
