      virtio_net: wrap rtnl_lock in test for calling with lock already held · 47315329
      John Fastabend authored 
      For XDP use case and to allow ethtool reset tests it is useful to be
able to use reset paths from contexts where rtnl lock is already
held.

This requries updating virtnet_set_queues and free_receive_bufs the
two places where rtnl_lock is taken in virtio_net. To do this we
use the following pattern,

	_foo(...) { do stuff }
	foo(...) { rtnl_lock(); _foo(...); rtnl_unlock()};

this allows us to use freeze()/restore() flow from both contexts.

      Merge branch 'bridge-improve-cache-utilization' · 152bff37
      David S. Miller authored 
      Nikolay Aleksandrov says:

====================
bridge: improve cache utilization

This is the first set which begins to deal with the bad bridge cache
access patterns. The first patch rearranges the bridge and port structs
a little so the frequently (and closely) accessed members are in the same
cache line. The second patch then moves the garbage collection to a
workqueue trying to improve system responsiveness under load (many fdbs)
and more importantly removes the need to check if the matched entry is
expired in __br_fdb_get which was a major source of false-sharing.
The third patch is a preparation for the final one which
If properly configured, i.e. ports bound to CPUs (thus updating "updated"
locally) then the bridge's HitM goes from 100% to 0%, but even without
binding we get a win because previously every lookup that iterated over
the hash chain caused false-sharing due to the first cache line being
used for both mac/vid and used/updated fields.

Some results from tests I've run:
(note that these were run in good conditions for the baseline, everything
 ran on a single NUMA node and there were only 3 fdbs)

1. baseline
100% Load HitM on the fdbs (between everyone who has done lookups and hit
                            one of the 3 hash chains of the communicating
                            src/dst fdbs)
Overall 5.06% Load HitM for the bridge, first place in the list

2. patched & ports bound to CPUs
0% Local load HitM, bridge is not even in the c2c report list
Also there's 3% consistent improvement in netperf tests.

      bridge: fdb: write to used and updated at most once per jiffy · 83a718d6
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored 
      Writing once per jiffy is enough to limit the bridge's false sharing.
After this change the bridge doesn't show up in the local load HitM stats.

      bridge: move write-heavy fdb members in their own cache line · 1214628c
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored 
      Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and
packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a
particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked
it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The
"used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward
to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway
results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent
the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants
which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it).
The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties
get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

      bridge: move to workqueue gc · f7cdee8a
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored 
      Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10
milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks
to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much
more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the
matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and
is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms
of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

      bridge: modify bridge and port to have often accessed fields in one cache line · 1f90c7f3
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored 
      Move around net_bridge so the vlan fields are in the beginning since
they're checked on every packet even if vlan filtering is disabled.
For the port move flags & vlan group to the beginning, so they're in the
same cache line with the port's state (both flags and state are checked
on each packet).

      bpf: enable verifier to add 0 to packet ptr · 63dfef75
      William Tu authored 
      The patch fixes the case when adding a zero value to the packet
pointer.  The zero value could come from src_reg equals type
BPF_K or CONST_IMM.  The patch fixes both, otherwise the verifer
reports the following error:
  [...]
    R0=imm0,min_value=0,max_value=0
    R1=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=4)
    R2=pkt_end R3=fp-12
    R4=imm4,min_value=4,max_value=4
    R5=pkt(id=0,off=4,r=4)
  269: (bf) r2 = r0     // r2 becomes imm0
  270: (77) r2 >>= 3
  271: (bf) r4 = r1     // r4 becomes pkt ptr
  272: (0f) r4 += r2    // r4 += 0
  addition of negative constant to packet pointer is not allowed

      bpf: test for AND edge cases · 29200c19
      Josef Bacik authored 
      These two tests are based on the work done for f23cc643.  The first test is
just a basic one to make sure we don't allow AND'ing negative values, even if it
would result in a valid index for the array.  The second is a cleaned up version
of the original testcase provided by Jann Horn that resulted in the commit.
