Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G mlx5 ethernet aRFS support This series adds accelerated RFS support for the mlx5e driver. I have added one patch non-related to aRFS that fixes the rtnl_lock warning mlx5 driver been getting since b7aade15 ('vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers') aRFS support in details: A direct TIR per RQ is now required in order to have the essential building blocks for aRFS. Today the driver has one direct TIR that forwards traffic to RQ[0] (core 0), and one indirect TIR for RSS indirection table. For that we've added one direct TIR per RQ, e.g.: TIR[i] -> RQ[i] (core i). Publicize Modify flow rule destination and reveal it in flow steering API, to have the ability to dynamically modify the destination TIR(core) for aRFS rules from the ethernet driver. Initializing CPU reverse mapping to notify upper layer on internal receive queue cpu mappings. Some design refactoring for mlx5e ethernet driver flow tables and flow steering API. Now the caller of create_flow_table can choose the level of the flow table, this way we will create the mlx5e flow tables in a reversed order and connect them as we go, we create flow table[i+1] before flow table[i] to be able to set flow table[i + 1] as a destination of flow table[i] once flow table[i] is created. also we have split the main flow table in the following manner: - From before: RX packet had to visit two flow tables until it is delivered to its receive queue: RX packet -> vlan filter flow table -> main flow table. > vlan filter will check the packet vlan field is allowed. > main flow will check if the dest mac is allowed and will check the l3/l4 headers to retrieve the RSS hash for steering the packet into its final receive queue. - Now main flow table is split into l2 dst mac steering table and ttc (traffic type classifier) table: RX packet -> vlan filter -> l2 table -> ttc table > vlan filter - same as before > L2 filter - filter packets according their destination mac address > ttc table - classify packet headers for RSS steering - L3/L4 classification rules to steer the packet according to thier headers hash - in case of none of the rules applies the packet is steered to RQ[0] After the above refactoring all left to-do is to create aRFS flow table which will manage aRFS steering rules to forward traffic to the desired RQ (core) and just connect the ttc table rules destinations to aRFS flow table. aRFS flow table in case of a miss will deliver the traffic to the core where the original ttc hash would have chosen. TTC table is not initialized and enabled until the user explicitly asks to, i.e. setting the NETIF_F_NTUPLE to ON. This way there is no need for ttc table to forward traffic to aRFS table unless required. When setting back to OFF aRFS flow table is disabled and disconnected. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Accelerated RFS requires that ntuple filtering is enabled via ethtool and driver supports ndo_rx_flow_steer. When the ntuple filtering is enabled, we modify the l3_l4 ttc rules to point on the aRFS flow tables and when the filtering is disabled, we modify the l3_l4 ttc rules to point on the RSS TIRs.

Implement ndo_rx_flow_steer ndo. A new flow steering rule will be composed from the skb 4-tuple and added to the hardware aRFS flow table. Each rule is stored in an internal hash table, if such skb 4-tuple rule already exists we update the corresponding hardware steering rule with the new destination. For garbage collection rps_may_expire_flow will be invoked for a limited amount of old rules upon any ndo_rx_flow_steer invocation.

Create the following four flow tables for aRFS usage: 1. IPv4 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 TCP packets. 2. IPv6 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 TCP packets. 3. IPv4 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 UDP packets. 4. IPv6 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 UDP packets. Each flow table has two flow groups: one for the 4-tuple filtering (full match) and the other contains * rule for miss rule. Full match rule means a hit for aRFS and packet will be forwarded to the dedicated RQ/Core, miss rule packets will be forwarded to default RSS hashing.

Currently, the main flow table is used for two purposes: One is to do mac filtering and the other is to classify the packet l3-l4 header in order to steer the packet to the right RSS TIR. This design is very complex, for each configured mac address we have to add eleven rules (rule for each traffic type), the same if the device is put to promiscuous/allmulti mode. This scheme isn't scalable for future features like aRFS. In order to simplify it, the main flow table is split to two flow tables: 1. l2 table - filter the packet dmac address, if there is a match we forward to the ttc flow table. 2. TTC (Traffic Type Classifier) table - classify the traffic type of the packet and steer the packet to the right TIR. In this new design, when new mac address is added, the driver adds only one flow rule instead of eleven.

Slightly refactor and re-order the flow steering structs, tables and data-bases for better self-containment and flexibility to add more future steering phases (tables/rules/data bases) e.g: aRFS. Changes: 1. Move the vlan DB and address DB into their table structs. 2. Rename steering table structs to unique format: mlx5e_*_table, e.g: mlx5e_vlan_table.

Currently, consumers of the flow steering infrastructure can't choose their own flow table levels and are limited to one flow table per level. This just waste levels. Instead, we introduce here the possibility to use multiple flow tables in a level. The user is free to connect these flow tables, while following the rule (FTEs in FT of level x could only point to FTs of level y where y > x). In addition this patch switch the order of the create/destroy flow tables of the NIC(vlan and main).

Refactors the flow steering namespace creation, by changing the name num_fts to num_levels. When new flow table is created, the driver assign new level to this flow table therefore the meaning is equivalent. Since downstream patches will introduce the ability to create more than one flow table per level, the name num_fts is no longer accurate.

Introduce new TIRs for direct access per RQ. Now we have 2 available kinds of TIRs: - indirect TIR per traffic type, each points to one RQT (RSS RQT) same as before. - New direct TIR per RQ, each points to RQT with a size of one that forwards packets to that RQ only. Driver will open max channels (num cores) direct TIRs by default, they will be filled with the actual RQs once channels are allocated.

Guillaume Nault says: ==================== ppp: add rtnetlink support PPP devices lack the ability to be customised at creation time. In particular they can't be created in a given netns or with a particular name. Moving or renaming the device after creation is possible, but creates undesirable transient effects on servers where PPP devices are constantly created and removed, as users connect and disconnect. Implementing rtnetlink support solves this problem. The rtnetlink handlers implemented in this series are minimal, and can only replace the PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl. The rest of PPP ioctls remains necessary for any other operation on channels and units. It is perfectly possible to mix PPP devices created by rtnl and by ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). Devices will behave in the same way. mutex_trylock() is used to resolve the locking issue wrt. locking dependency between rtnl_lock() and ppp_mutex (see ppp_nl_newlink() in patch #2). A user visible difference brought by this series is that old PPP interfaces (those created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT)), can now be removed by "ip link del", just like new rtnl based PPP devices. Changes since v3: - Rebase on net-next. - Not an RFC anymore. Changes since v2: - Define ->rtnl_link_ops for ioctl based PPP devices, so they can handle rtnl messages just like rtnl based ones (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Move back to original lock ordering between ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock to simplify patch series. Handle lock inversion issue using mutex_trylock() (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Do file descriptor lookup directly in ppp_nl_newlink(), to simplify ppp_dev_configure(). Changes since v1: - Rebase on net-next. - Invert locking order wrt. ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock and protect file->private_data with ppp_mutex. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Guillaume Nault authored
Define PPP device handler for use with rtnetlink. The only PPP specific attribute is IFLA_PPP_DEV_FD. It is mandatory and contains the file descriptor of the associated /dev/ppp instance (the file descriptor which would have been used for ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT) in the ioctl-based API). The PPP device is removed when this file descriptor is released (same behaviour as with ioctl based PPP devices). PPP devices created with the rtnetlink API behave like the ones created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). In particular existing ioctls work the same way, no matter how the PPP device was created. The rtnl callbacks are also assigned to ioctl based PPP devices. This way, rtnl messages have the same effect on any PPP devices. The immediate effect is that all PPP devices, even ioctl-based ones, can now be removed with "ip link del". A minor difference still exists between ioctl and rtnl based PPP interfaces: in the device name, the number following the "ppp" prefix corresponds to the PPP unit number for ioctl based devices, while it is just an unrelated incrementing index for rtnl ones.

Move PPP device initialisation and registration out of ppp_create_interface(). This prepares code for device registration with rtnetlink. While there, simplify the prototype of ppp_create_interface(): * Since ppp_dev_configure() takes care of setting file->private_data, there's no need to return a ppp structure to ppp_unattached_ioctl() anymore. * The unit parameter is made read/write so that ppp_create_interface() can tell which unit number has been assigned.

Commit 0c867c9b ("vxlan: move Ethernet initialization to a separate function") changed initialization order and as an unintended result, when the user specifies additional link parameters (such as IFLA_ADDRESS) while creating vxlan interface, those are overwritten by vxlan_ether_setup later. It's necessary to call ether_setup from withing the ->setup callback. That way, the correct parameters are set by rtnl_create_link later. This is done also for VXLAN-GPE, as we don't know the interface type yet at that point, and changed to the correct interface type later.

It is not intuitive that 'make' must be run from the top level directory with argument "samples/bpf/" to compile these eBPF samples. Introduce a kbuild make file trick that allow make to be run from the "samples/bpf/" directory itself. It basically change to the top level directory and call "make samples/bpf/" with the "/" slash after the directory name. Also add a clean target that only cleans this directory, by taking advantage of the kbuild external module setting M=$PWD.

This patch overloads the DSA master netdev, aka CPU Ethernet MAC to also include switch-side statistics, which is useful for debugging purposes, when the switch is not properly connected to the Ethernet MAC (duplex mismatch, (RG)MII electrical issues etc.). We accomplish this by retaining the original copy of the master netdev's ethtool_ops, and just overload the 3 operations we care about: get_sset_count, get_strings and get_ethtool_stats so as to intercept these calls and call into the original master_netdev ethtool_ops, plus our own. We take this approach as opposed to providing a set of DSA helper functions that would retrive the CPU port's statistics, because the entire purpose of DSA is to allow unmodified Ethernet MAC drivers to be used as CPU conduit interfaces, therefore, statistics overlay in such drivers would simply not scale. The new ethtool -S <iface> output would therefore look like this now: <iface> statistics p<2 digits cpu port number>_<switch MIB counter names> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

TCP prequeue goal is to defer processing of incoming packets to user space thread currently blocked in a recvmsg() system call. Intent is to spend less time processing these packets on behalf of softirq handler, as softirq handler is unfair to normal process scheduler decisions, as it might interrupt threads that do not even use networking. Current prequeue implementation has following issues : 1) It only checks size of the prequeue against sk_rcvbuf It was fine 15 years ago when sk_rcvbuf was in the 64KB vicinity. But we now have ~8MB values to cope with modern networking needs. We have to add sk_rmem_alloc in the equation, since out of order packets can definitely use up to sk_rcvbuf memory themselves. 2) Even with a fixed memory truesize check, prequeue can be filled by thousands of packets. When prequeue needs to be flushed, either from sofirq context (in tcp_prequeue() or timer code), or process context (in tcp_prequeue_process()), this adds a latency spike which is often not desirable. I added a fixed limit of 32 packets, as this translated to a max flush time of 60 us on my test hosts. Also note that all packets in prequeue are not accounted for tcp_mem, since they are not charged against sk_forward_alloc at this point. This is probably not a big deal. Note that this might increase LINUX_MIB_TCPPREQUEUEDROPPED counts, which is misnamed, as packets are not dropped at all, but rather pushed to the stack (where they can be either consumed or dropped) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
