The mlx5 driver passes a string pointer in through a 'u64' variable, which on 32-bit machines causes a build warning: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/debugfs.c: In function 'qp_read_field': drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/debugfs.c:303:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast] The code is in fact safe, so we can shut up the warning by adding extra type casts.

The rocker driver tries to assign a pointer to a 64-bit integer and then back to a pointer. This is safe on all architectures, but causes a compiler warning when pointers are shorter than 64-bit: rocker/rocker.c: In function 'rocker_desc_cookie_ptr_get': rocker/rocker.c:809:9: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] return (void *) desc_info->desc->cookie; ^ This adds another cast to uintptr_t to tell the compiler that it's safe.

Patch 3b50d902 ("ipv6: fix redefinition of in6_pktinfo ...") fixed a libc compatibility issue in ipv6 structure definitions as described in include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h. It relies on including linux/in6.h to include libc-compat.h itself. Include that file directly to clearly communicate the dependency (libc-compat.h: "This include must be as early as possible").

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-01-13 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Mitch provides a fix for i40e to move the call to pci_disable_sriov() so that it is called earlier to ensure that the PF driver won't free VF resources before the VF remove routine can complete. Also cleans up redundant and duplicate code in the i40evf. Refactors the i40evf shutdown code and let the watchdog take care of shutting things down. Fix a possible memory leak, if we are using VLANs and the communication with the PF fail during shutdown. On some versions of the firmware, the VF admin send queue may become stalled. In this case, the easiest solution is to place another descriptor on the queue and the firmware will then process both requests. Greg adds a warning when the NPAR enabled partitions detected a link speed less than 10 Gpbs. Vasu removes redundant VN2VN MAC address which were already added by the FCoE stack. Shannon adds code to find how many partitions there are per port and what is the current partition_id when in NPAR mode. In multifunction mode, make sure we only allow SR/IOV on the master PF of a port and only allow partition 1 to set WoL, speed and flow control. Kamil adds code to read the PBA block from shadow RAM and returns the part number in a string format. Catherine provides a fix to check if link state and link speed has changed before exiting link event v2: remove un-needed {} in patch #3 of the series based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Make sure we only allow SR/IOV on the master PF of a port in multifunction mode. This should be the case anyway based on the num_vfs configured in the NVM, but this will help make sure there's no question. If we're not in multifunction mode the partition_id will always be 1.

On some versions of the firmware, the VF admin send queue may become stalled. In this case, the easiest solution is to just place another descriptor on the queue; the firmware will then process both requests. The early init code already accounts for this, but the runtime code does not. In the watchdog task, check for the stall condition, and if it's found, send our API version to the PF. When the PF replies, just ignore the reply. Change-ID: I380d78185a4f284d649c44d263e648afc9b4d50c Signed-off-by:

There is always a possibility that MSI-X interrupts can get lost. To keep this problem from stalling the driver, we fire all of our MSI-X vectors during the watchdog routine. However, we should not fire the traffic vectors when the interface is closed. In this case, just fire vector 0, which is used for admin queue events. As a result, we do not enable the interrupt cause for vector 0. This can cause the admin queue handler to be called reentrantly, which causes a scary "critical section violation" message to be logged, even though no real damage is done.

If we're using VLANs and communications with the PF fail during shutdown, we will leak memory because not all of the VLAN filters will be removed.

If the VF driver is running in the host, the shutdown code is completely broken. We cannot wait in our down routine for the PF to respond to our requests, as its admin queue task will never run while we hold the lock. Instead, we schedule operations, then let the watchdog take care of shutting things down. If the driver is being removed, then wait in the remove routine until the watchdog is done before continuing.

These messages may be triggered during normal init of the driver if the PF or FW take a long time to respond. There's nothing really wrong, so don't freak people out logging messages. If the communication channel really is dead, then we'll retry a few times and give up. This will log a different more scary message that should cause consternation. This allows the user to more easily detect a genuine failure. Change-ID: I6e2b758d4234a3a09c1015c82c8f2442a697cbdb Signed-off-by:

If VF drivers are loaded in the host OS, the call to pci_disable_sriov() will cause these drivers' remove routines to be called. If the PF driver has already freed VF resources before this happens, then the VF remove routine can't properly communicate with the PF driver causing all sorts of mayhem and error messages and hurt feelings. To fix this, we move the call to pci_disable_sriov() up to the top of the function and let it complete before freeing any VF resources.

With TLP, the peer may reply to a probe with an ACK+D-SACK, with ack value set to tlp_high_seq. In the current code, such ACK+DSACK will be missed and only at next, higher ack will the TLP episode be considered done. Since the DSACK is not present anymore, this will cost a cwnd reduction. This patch ensures that this scenario does not cause a cwnd reduction, since receiving an ACK+DSACK indicates that both the initial segment and the probe have been received by the peer. The following packetdrill test, from Neal Cardwell, validates this patch: // Establish a connection. 0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6> +.020 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 // Send 1 packet. +0 write(4, ..., 1000) = 1000 +0 > P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1 // Loss probe retransmission. // packets_out == 1 => schedule PTO in max(2*RTT, 1.5*RTT + 200ms) // In this case, this means: 1.5*RTT + 200ms = 230ms +.230 > P. 1:1001(1000) ack 1 +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10 }% // Receiver ACKs at tlp_high_seq with a DSACK, // indicating they received the original packet and probe. +.020 < . 1:1(0) ack 1001 win 257 <sack 1:1001,nop,nop> +0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_cwnd == 10 }% // Send another packet. +0 write(4, ..., 1000) = 1000 +0 > P. 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 // Receiver ACKs above tlp_high_seq, which should end the TLP episode // if we haven't already.

Ying Xue says: ==================== remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket After tipc socket successfully avoids the involvement of an extra lock with rhashtable_lookup_insert(), it's possible for netlink socket to remove its hash socket lock now. But as netlink socket needs a compare function to look for an object, we first introduce a new function called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() in commit #1 which is implemented based on original rhashtable_lookup_insert(). We subsequently remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket with the new introduced function in commit #2. Lastly, as Thomas requested, we add commit #3 to indicate the implementation of what the grow and shrink decision function must enforce min/max shift. v2: As Thomas pointed out, there was a race between checking portid and then setting it in commit #2. Now use socket lock to make the process of both checking and setting portid atomic, and then eliminate the race. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

As commit c0c09bfd ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for worker queue") moves condition statements of verifying whether hash table size exceeds its maximum threshold or reaches its minimum threshold from resizing functions to resizing decision functions, we should add a note in rhashtable.h to indicate the implementation of what the grow and shrink decision function must enforce min/max shift, otherwise, it's failed to take min/max shift's set watermarks into effect.

As rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() can guarantee the process of search and insertion is atomic, it's safe to eliminate the nl_sk_hash_lock. After this, object insertion or removal will be protected with per bucket lock on write side while object lookup is guarded with rcu read lock on read side. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a new function called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() which is very similar to rhashtable_lookup_insert(). But the former makes use of users' given compare function to look for an object, and then inserts it into hash table if found. As the entire process of search and insertion is under protection of per bucket lock, this can help users to avoid the involvement of extra lock. Signed-off-by:

Pankaj Gupta says: ==================== Increase the limit of tuntap queues Networking under KVM works best if we allocate a per-vCPU rx and tx queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side. Modern physical NICs have multiqueue support for large number of queues. To scale vNIC to run multiple queues parallel to maximum number of vCPU's we need to increase number of queues support in tuntap. Changes from v4: PATCH2: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Updated change comment message. Changes from v3: PATCH1: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Some cleanups and updated commit message. Perf numbers on 10 Gbs NIC Changes from v2: PATCH 3: David Miller - flex array adds extra level of indirection for preallocated array.(dropped, as flow array is allocated using kzalloc with failover to zalloc). Changes from v1: PATCH 2: David Miller - sysctl changes to limit number of queues not required for unprivileged users(dropped). Changes from RFC PATCH 1: Sergei Shtylyov - Add an empty line after declarations. PATCH 2: Jiri Pirko - Do not introduce new module paramaters. Michael.S.Tsirkin- We can use sysctl for limiting max number of queues. This series is to increase the number of tuntap queues. Original work is being done by 'jasowang@redhat.com'. I am taking this 'https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/19/29' patch series as a reference. As per discussion in the patch series: There were two reasons which prevented us from increasing number of tun queues: - The netdev_queue array in netdevice were allocated through kmalloc, which may cause a high order memory allocation too when we have several queues. E.g. sizeof(netdev_queue) is 320, which means a high order allocation would happens when the device has more than 16 queues. - We store the hash buckets in tun_struct which results a very large size of tun_struct, this high order memory allocation fail easily when the memory is fragmented. The patch 60877a32 increases the number of tx queues. Memory allocation fallback to vzalloc() when kmalloc() fails. This series tries to address following issues: - Increase the number of netdev_queue queues for rx similarly its done for tx queues by falling back to vzalloc() when memory allocation with kmalloc() fails. - Increase number of queues to 256, maximum number is equal to maximum number of vCPUS allowed in a guest. I have also done testing with multiple parallel Netperf sessions for different combination of queues and CPU's. It seems to be working fine without much increase in cpu load with increase in number of queues. I also see good increase in throughput with increase in number of queues. Though i had limitation of 8 physical CPU's. For this test: Two Hosts(Host1 & Host2) are directly connected with cable Host1 is running Guest1. Data is sent from Host2 to Guest1 via Host1.

Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side. It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues. Preceding patch: 'net: allow large number of rx queues' made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs KVM supports. Size of tun_struct changes from 8512 to 10496 after this patch. This keeps pages allocated for tun_struct before and after the patch to 3. Signed-off-by:

netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array. If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc(). Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in netif_alloc_netdev_queues(). We avoid failure of high order memory allocation with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to increase the number of queues in tun. As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, __GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback only when really needed. Signed-off-by:
