This patch adds support to sync the states of the PCS and the PHY after a reset is performed. If the PCS and the PHY are not in the same state after reset an extra mode change would be performed. This extra mode change might not be needed if the PCS and the PHY are synced up after reset. Signed-off-by:

The pre_xmit function name implies that it performs operations prior to transmitting the packet when in fact it is responsible for setting up the descriptors and initiating the transmit. Rename this to function from pre_xmit to dev_xmit, which is consistent with the name used during receive processing - dev_read. Signed-off-by:

This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length". When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will sit in the msghdr. Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch during that transformation.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== gue: Remote checksum offload This patch set implements remote checksum offload for GUE, which is a mechanism that provides checksum offload of encapsulated packets using rudimentary offload capabilities found in most Network Interface Card (NIC) devices. The outer header checksum for UDP is enabled in packets and, with some additional meta information in the GUE header, a receiver is able to deduce the checksum to be set for an inner encapsulated packet. Effectively this offloads the computation of the inner checksum. Enabling the outer checksum in encapsulation has the additional advantage that it covers more of the packet than the inner checksum including the encapsulation headers. Remote checksum offload is described in: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01 The GUE transmit and receive paths are modified to support the remote checksum offload option. The option contains a checksum offset and checksum start which are directly derived from values set in stack when doing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. On receipt of the option, the operation is to calculate the packet checksum from "start" to end of the packet (normally derived for checksum complete), and then set the resultant value at checksum "offset" (the checksum field has already been primed with the pseudo header). This emulates a NIC that implements NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. The primary purpose of this feature is to eliminate cost of performing checksum calculation over a packet when encpasulating. In this patch set: - Move fou_build_header into fou.c and split it into a couple of functions - Enable offloading of outer UDP checksum in encapsulation - Change udp_offload to support remote checksum offload, includes new GSO type and ensuring encapsulated layers (TCP) doesn't try to set a checksum covered by RCO - TX support for RCO with GUE. This is configured through ip_tunnel and set the option on transmit when packet being encapsulated is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL - RX support for RCO with GUE for normal and GRO paths. Includes resolving the offloaded checksum v2: Address comments from davem: Move accounting for private option field in gue_encap_hlen to patch in which we add the remote checksum offload option. Testing: I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR with 200 streams, comparing GUE with and without remote checksum offload (doing checksum-unnecessary to complete conversion in both cases). These were run on mlnx4 and bnx2x. Some mlnx4 results are below. GRE/GUE TCP_STREAM IPv4, with remote checksum offload 9.71% TX CPU utilization 7.42% RX CPU utilization 36380 Mbps IPv4, without remote checksum offload 12.40% TX CPU utilization 7.36% RX CPU utilization 36591 Mbps TCP_RR IPv4, with remote checksum offload 77.79% CPU utilization 91/144/216 90/95/99% latencies 1.95127e+06 tps IPv4, without remote checksum offload 78.70% CPU utilization 89/152/297 90/95/99% latencies 1.95458e+06 tps IPIP/GUE TCP_STREAM With remote checksum offload 10.30% TX CPU utilization 7.43% RX CPU utilization 36486 Mbps Without remote checksum offload 12.47% TX CPU utilization 7.49% RX CPU utilization 36694 Mbps TCP_RR With remote checksum offload 77.80% CPU utilization 87/153/270 90/95/99% latencies 1.98735e+06 tps Without remote checksum offload 77.98% CPU utilization 87/150/287 90/95/99% latencies 1.98737e+06 tps SIT/GUE TCP_STREAM With remote checksum offload 9.68% TX CPU utilization 7.36% RX CPU utilization 35971 Mbps Without remote checksum offload 12.95% TX CPU utilization 8.04% RX CPU utilization 36177 Mbps TCP_RR With remote checksum offload 79.32% CPU utilization 94/158/295 90/95/99% latencies 1.88842e+06 tps Without remote checksum offload 80.23% CPU utilization 94/149/226 90/95/99% latencies 1.90338e+06 tps VXLAN TCP_STREAM 35.03% TX CPU utilization 20.85% RX CPU utilization 36230 Mbps TCP_RR 77.36% CPU utilization 84/146/270 90/95/99% latencies 2.08063e+06 tps We can also look at CPU time in csum_partial using perf (with bnx2x setup). For GRE with TCP_STREAM I see: With remote checksum offload 0.33% TX 1.81% RX Without remote checksum offload 6.00% TX 0.51% RX I suspect the fact that time in csum_partial noticably increases with remote checksum offload for RX is due to taking the cache miss on the encapsulated header in that function. By similar reasoning, if on the TX side the packet were not in cache (say we did a splice from a file whose data was never touched by the CPU) the CPU savings for TX would probably be more pronounced. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Move fou_build_header out of ip_tunnel.c and into fou.c splitting it up into fou_build_header, gue_build_header, and fou_build_udp. This allows for other users for TX of FOU or GUE. Change ip_tunnel_encap to call fou_build_header or gue_build_header based on the tunnel encapsulation type. Similarly, added fou_encap_hlen and gue_encap_hlen functions which are called by ip_encap_hlen. New net/fou.h has prototypes and defines for this. Added NET_FOU_IP_TUNNELS configuration. When this is set, IP tunnels can use FOU/GUE and fou module is also selected. Signed-off-by:

Giuseppe Cavallaro says: ==================== stmmac: review driver Koptions Recently many Koption options have been added to have new glue logic on several platforms. The main goal behind this work is to guarantee that the driver built fine on all the branches where it is present independently of which glue logic is selected. IMHO, it is better to remove all the not necessary Koption(s) that can hide build problems when something changes in the driver and especially when the DT compatibility allows us to manage all the platform data. I compiled the driver w/o any issue on net-next Git for: x86, arm and sh4. In case of there are build problems on some repos now it will be easy to catch them and cherry-pick patches from mainstream. For sure, do not hesitate to contact me in case of issue. Also this set removes STMMAC_DEBUG_FS and BUS_MODE_DA. The latter is useless and the former can be replaced by DEBUG_FS (always to make safe the build). V2: patch-set re-based on top of the latest updates for net-next ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This is a very old and often unused option to configure a bit in a register inside the DMA. This support should not stay under Koption and should be extended for new chips too. This will be do later maybe via device-tree parameters. Also no performance impact when remove this setting on STi platforms. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes all the Koptions added to build the glue-logic files for all different architectures: DWMAC_MESON, DWMAC_SUNXI, DWMAC_STI ... Nowadays the stmmac needs to be compiled on several platforms; in some case it very convenient to guarantee that its build is always completed with success on all the branches where the driver is present.

When a sysfs binary file is asked to be removed, it is found by attribute name, so strictly speaking this change is not a fix, but just in case when attribute name is changed in the driver or sysfs internals are changed, it might be better to remove the previously created file using right the same binary attribute.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== net: allow setting ecn via routing table Here is v4 of the patchset, its exactly the same as v3 except in patch3/3 where I added the missing 'const' qualifier to a function argument that Eric spotted during review. I preserved Erics Acks so that he doesn't have to resend them. v3 cover letter: When using syn cookies, then do not simply trust that the echoed timestamp was not modified to make sure that ecn is not turned on magically when it is disabled on the host. The first two patches, which were not part of earlier series, prepare the cookie code for the ecn route metrics change by allowing is to more easily use the existing dst object for ecn validation. The 3rd patch adds the ecn route metric feature support. It is almost the same as in v2, except that we'll now also test the dst_features when decoding a syn cookie timestamp that indicates ecn support. These three patches then allow turning on explicit congestion notification based on the destination network. For example, assuming the default tcp_ecn sysctl '2', the following will enable ecn (tcp_ecn=1 behaviour, i.e. request ecn to be enabled for a tcp connection) for all connections to hosts inside the 192.168.2/24 network: ip route change 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 features ecn Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann, feature suggested by Hannes Frederic Sowa. The patch to enable this in iproute2 will be posted shortly, it is currently also available here: http://git.breakpoint.cc/cgit/fw/iproute2.git/commit/?h=iproute_features&id=8843d2d8973fb81c78a7efe6d42e3a17d739003e [1] http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/89/slides/slides-89-tsvarea-1.pdf, p.15 ==================== Signed-off-by:

This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest of the stack acts according to the global settings. One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this. Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US, Europe and Asia: Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely blamed to commit 255cac91 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about 1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested. It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE when buffers start to fill up. We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes. Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish, but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

The function cookie_check_timestamp(), both called from IPv4/6 context, is being used to decode the echoed timestamp from the SYN/ACK into TCP options used for follow-up communication with the peer. We can remove ECN handling from that function, split it into a separate one, and simply rename the original function into cookie_decode_options(). cookie_decode_options() just fills in tcp_option struct based on the echoed timestamp received from the peer. Anything that fails in this function will actually discard the request socket. While this is the natural place for decoding options such as ECN which commit 172d69e6 ("syncookies: add support for ECN") added, we argue that in particular for ECN handling, it can be checked at a later point in time as the request sock would actually not need to be dropped from this, but just ECN support turned off. Therefore, we split this functionality into cookie_ecn_ok(), which tells us if the timestamp indicates ECN support AND the tcp_ecn sysctl is enabled. This prepares for per-route ECN support: just looking at the tcp_ecn sysctl won't be enough anymore at that point; if the timestamp indicates ECN and sysctl tcp_ecn == 0, we will also need to check the ECN dst metric. This would mean adding a route lookup to cookie_check_timestamp(), which we definitely want to avoid. As we already do a route lookup at a later point in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(), we can simply make use of that as well for the new cookie_ecn_ok() function w/o any additional cost.
