      i40e: Remove rx page reuse double count · 89bb0983
      Joe Damato authored 
      Page reuse was being tracked from two locations:
  - i40e_reuse_rx_page (via 40e_clean_rx_irq), and
  - i40e_alloc_mapped_page

Remove the double count and only count reuse from i40e_alloc_mapped_page
when the page is about to be reused.

====================
inet: Separate DSCP from ECN bits using new dscp_t type

The networking stack currently doesn't clearly distinguish between DSCP
and ECN bits. The entire DSCP+ECN bits are stored in u8 variables (or
structure fields), and each part of the stack handles them in their own
way, using different macros. This has created several bugs in the past
and some uncommon code paths are still unfixed.

Such bugs generally manifest by selecting invalid routes because of ECN
bits interfering with FIB routes and rules lookups (more details in the
LPC 2021 talk[1] and in the RFC of this series[2]).

This patch series aims at preventing the introduction of such bugs (and
detecting existing ones), by introducing a dscp_t type, representing
"sanitised" DSCP values (that is, with no ECN information), as opposed
to plain u8 values that contain both DSCP and ECN information. dscp_t
makes it clear for the reader what we're working on, and Sparse can
flag invalid interactions between dscp_t and plain u8.

This series converts only a few variables and structures:

  * Patch 1 converts the tclass field of struct fib6_rule. It
    effectively forbids the use of ECN bits in the tos/dsfield option
    of ip -6 rule. Rules now match packets solely based on their DSCP
    bits, so ECN doesn't influence the result any more. This contrasts
    with the previous behaviour where all 8 bits of the Traffic Class
    field were used. It is believed that this change is acceptable as
    matching ECN bits wasn't usable for IPv4, so only IPv6-only
    deployments could be depending on it. Also the previous behaviour
    made DSCP-based ip6-rules fail for packets with both a DSCP and an
    ECN mark, which is another reason why any such deploy is unlikely.

  * Patch 2 converts the tos field of struct fib4_rule. This one too
    effectively forbids defining ECN bits, this time in ip -4 rule.
    Before that, setting ECN bit 1 was accepted, while ECN bit 0 was
    rejected. But even when accepted, the rule would never match, as
    the packets would have their ECN bits cleared before doing the
    rule lookup.

  * Patch 3 converts the fc_tos field of struct fib_config. This is
    equivalent to patch 2, but for IPv4 routes. Routes using a
    tos/dsfield option with any ECN bit set is now rejected. Before
    this patch, they were accepted but, as with ip4 rules, these routes
    couldn't match any packet, since their ECN bits are cleared before
    the lookup.

  * Patch 4 converts the fa_tos field of struct fib_alias. This one is
    pure internal u8 to dscp_t conversion. While patches 1-3 had user
    facing consequences, this patch shouldn't have any side effect and
    is there to give an overview of what future conversion patches will
    look like. Conversions are quite mechanical, but imply some code
    churn, which is the price for the extra clarity a possibility of
    type checking.

To summarise, all the behaviour changes required for the dscp_t type
approach to work should be contained in patches 1-3. These changes are
edge cases of ip-route and ip-rule that don't currently work properly.
So they should be safe. Also, a kernel selftest is added for each of
them.

Finally, this work also paves the way for allowing the usage of the 3
high order DSCP bits in IPv4 (a few call paths already handle them, but
in general the stack clears them before IPv4 rule and route lookups).

      ipv4: Use dscp_t in struct fib_alias · 32ccf110
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      Use the new dscp_t type to replace the fa_tos field of fib_alias. This
ensures ECN bits are ignored and makes the field compatible with the
fc_dscp field of struct fib_config.

Converting old *tos variables and fields to dscp_t allows sparse to
flag incorrect uses of DSCP and ECN bits. This patch is entirely about
type annotation and shouldn't change any existing behaviour.

      ipv4: Reject routes specifying ECN bits in rtm_tos · f55fbb6a
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      Use the new dscp_t type to replace the fc_tos field of fib_config, to
ensure IPv4 routes aren't influenced by ECN bits when configured with
non-zero rtm_tos.

Before this patch, IPv4 routes specifying an rtm_tos with some of the
ECN bits set were accepted. However they wouldn't work (never match) as
IPv4 normally clears the ECN bits with IPTOS_RT_MASK before doing a FIB
lookup (although a few buggy code paths don't).

After this patch, IPv4 routes specifying an rtm_tos with any ECN bit
set is rejected.

Note: IPv6 routes ignore rtm_tos altogether, any rtm_tos is accepted,
but treated as if it were 0.

      ipv4: Stop taking ECN bits into account in fib4-rules · 563f8e97
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      Use the new dscp_t type to replace the tos field of struct fib4_rule,
so that fib4-rules consistently ignore ECN bits.

Before this patch, fib4-rules did accept rules with the high order ECN
bit set (but not the low order one). Also, it relied on its callers
masking the ECN bits of ->flowi4_tos to prevent those from influencing
the result. This was brittle and a few call paths still do the lookup
without masking the ECN bits first.

After this patch fib4-rules only compare the DSCP bits. ECN can't
influence the result anymore, even if the caller didn't mask these
bits. Also, fib4-rules now must have both ECN bits cleared or they will
be rejected.

      ipv6: Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib6-rules · a410a0cf
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      Define a dscp_t type and its appropriate helpers that ensure ECN bits
are not taken into account when handling DSCP.

Use this new type to replace the tclass field of struct fib6_rule, so
that fib6-rules don't get influenced by ECN bits anymore.

Before this patch, fib6-rules didn't make any distinction between the
DSCP and ECN bits. Therefore, rules specifying a DSCP (tos or dsfield
options in iproute2) stopped working as soon a packets had at least one
of its ECN bits set (as a work around one could create four rules for
each DSCP value to match, one for each possible ECN value).

After this patch fib6-rules only compare the DSCP bits. ECN doesn't
influence the result anymore. Also, fib6-rules now must have the ECN
bits cleared or they will be rejected.

      net: stmmac: optimize locking around PTP clock reads · 642436a1
      Yannick Vignon authored 
      Reading the PTP clock is a simple operation requiring only 3 register
reads. Under a PREEMPT_RT kernel, protecting those reads by a spin_lock is
counter-productive: if the 2nd task preempting the 1st has a higher prio
but needs to read time as well, it will require 2 context switches, which
will pretty much always be more costly than just disabling preemption for
the duration of the reads. Moreover, with the code logic recently added
to get_systime(), disabling preemption is not even required anymore:
reads and writes just need to be protected from each other, to prevent a
clock read while the clock is being updated.

Improve the above situation by replacing the PTP spinlock by a rwlock, and
using read_lock for PTP clock reads so simultaneous reads do not block
each other.

      net: initialize init_net earlier · 9c1be193
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      While testing a patch that will follow later
("net: add netns refcount tracker to struct nsproxy")
I found that devtmpfs_init() was called before init_net
was initialized.

This is a bug, because devtmpfs_setup() calls
ksys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS);

This has the effect of increasing init_net refcount,
which will be later overwritten to 1, as part of setup_net(&init_net)

We had too many prior patches [1] trying to work around the root cause.

Really, make sure init_net is in BSS section, and that net_ns_init()
is called earlier at boot time.

Note that another patch ("vfs: add netns refcount tracker
to struct fs_context") also will need net_ns_init() being called
before vfs_caches_init()

As a bonus, this patch saves around 4KB in .data section.

      net: hsr: use hlist_head instead of list_head for mac addresses · 4acc45db
      Juhee Kang authored 
      Currently, HSR manages mac addresses of known HSR nodes by using list_head.
It takes a lot of time when there are a lot of registered nodes due to
finding specific mac address nodes by using linear search. We can be
reducing the time by using hlist. Thus, this patch moves list_head to
hlist_head for mac addresses and this allows for further improvement of
network performance.
