      rxrpc: Allow multiple client connections to the same peer · 288827d5
      David Howells authored 
      Allow the number of parallel connections to a machine to be expanded from a
single connection to a maximum of four.  This allows up to 16 calls to be
in progress at the same time to any particular peer instead of 4.

      rxrpc: Rewrite the client connection manager · 245500d8
      David Howells authored 
      Rewrite the rxrpc client connection manager so that it can support multiple
connections for a given security key to a peer.  The following changes are
made:

 (1) For each open socket, the code currently maintains an rbtree with the
     connections placed into it, keyed by communications parameters.  This
     is tricky to maintain as connections can be culled from the tree or
     replaced within it.  Connections can require replacement for a number
     of reasons, e.g. their IDs span too great a range for the IDR data
     type to represent efficiently, the call ID numbers on that conn would
     overflow or the conn got aborted.

     This is changed so that there's now a connection bundle object placed
     in the tree, keyed on the same parameters.  The bundle, however, does
     not need to be replaced.

 (2) An rxrpc_bundle object can now manage the available channels for a set
     of parallel connections.  The lock that manages this is moved there
     from the rxrpc_connection struct (channel_lock).

 (3) There'a a dummy bundle for all incoming connections to share so that
     they have a channel_lock too.  It might be better to give each
     incoming connection its own bundle.  This bundle is not needed to
     manage which channels incoming calls are made on because that's the
     solely at whim of the client.

 (4) The restrictions on how many client connections are around are
     removed.  Instead, a previous patch limits the number of client calls
     that can be allocated.  Ordinarily, client connections are reaped
     after 2 minutes on the idle queue, but when more than a certain number
     of connections are in existence, the reaper starts reaping them after
     2s of idleness instead to get the numbers back down.

     It could also be made such that new call allocations are forced to
     wait until the number of outstanding connections subsides.

      rxrpc: Impose a maximum number of client calls · b7a7d674
      David Howells authored 
      Impose a maximum on the number of client rxrpc calls that are allowed
simultaneously.  This will be in lieu of a maximum number of client
connections as this is easier to administed as, unlike connections, calls
aren't reusable (to be changed in a subsequent patch)..

This doesn't affect the limits on service calls and connections.

      netfilter: nf_tables: add userdata support for nft_object · b131c964
      Jose M. Guisado Gomez authored 
      Enables storing userdata for nft_object. Initially this will store an
optional comment but can be extended in the future as needed.

Adds new attribute NFTA_OBJ_USERDATA to nft_object.

      net: dsa: don't print non-fatal MTU error if not supported · 4349abdb
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      Commit 72579e14 ("net: dsa: don't fail to probe if we couldn't set
the MTU") changed, for some reason, the "err && err != -EOPNOTSUPP"
check into a simple "err". This causes the MTU warning to be printed
even for drivers that don't have the MTU operations implemented.
Fix that.

      net: dsa: change PHY error message again · c9ebf126
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      slave_dev->name is only populated at this stage if it was specified
through a label in the device tree. However that is not mandatory.
When it isn't, the error message looks like this:

[    5.037057] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth2: error -19 setting up slave PHY for eth%d
[    5.044672] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth2: error -19 setting up slave PHY for eth%d
[    5.052275] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth2: error -19 setting up slave PHY for eth%d
[    5.059877] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth2: error -19 setting up slave PHY for eth%d

which is especially confusing since the error gets printed on behalf of
the DSA master (fsl_enetc in this case).

Printing an error message that contains a valid reference to the DSA
port's name is difficult at this point in the initialization stage, so
at least we should print some info that is more reliable, even if less
user-friendly. That may be the driver name and the hardware port index.

After this change, the error is printed as:

[    6.051587] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: error -19 setting up PHY for tree 0, switch 0, port 0
[    6.061192] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: error -19 setting up PHY for tree 0, switch 0, port 1
[    6.070765] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: error -19 setting up PHY for tree 0, switch 0, port 2
[    6.080324] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: error -19 setting up PHY for tree 0, switch 0, port 3

      net: tighten the definition of interface statistics · 0db0c34c
      Jakub Kicinski authored 
      This patch is born out of an investigation into which IEEE statistics
correspond to which struct rtnl_link_stats64 members. Turns out that
there seems to be reasonable consensus on the matter, among many drivers.
To save others the time (and it took more time than I'm comfortable
admitting) I'm adding comments referring to IEEE attributes to
struct rtnl_link_stats64.

Up until now we had two forms of documentation for stats - in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-statistics and the comments
on struct rtnl_link_stats64 itself. While the former is very cautious
in defining the expected behavior, the latter feel quite dated and
may not be easy to understand for modern day driver author
(e.g. rx_over_errors). At the same time modern systems are far more
complex and once obvious definitions lost their clarity. For example
- does rx_packet count at the MAC layer (aFramesReceivedOK)?
packets processed correctly by hardware? received by the driver?
or maybe received by the stack?

I tried to clarify the expectations, further clarifications from
others are very welcome.

The part hardest to untangle is rx_over_errors vs rx_fifo_errors
vs rx_missed_errors. After much deliberation I concluded that for
modern HW only two of the counters will make sense. The distinction
between internal FIFO overflow and packets dropped due to back-pressure
from the host is likely too implementation (driver and device) specific
to expose in the standard stats.

Now - which two of those counters we select to use is anyone's pick:

sysfs documentation suggests rx_over_errors counts packets which
did not fit into buffers due to MTU being too small, which I reused.
There don't seem to be many modern drivers using it (well, CAN drivers
seem to love this statistic).

Of the remaining two I picked rx_missed_errors to report device drops.
bnxt reports it and it's folded into "drop"s in procfs (while
rx_fifo_errors is an error, and modern devices usually receive the frame
OK, they just can't admit it into the pipeline).

Of the drivers I looked at only AMD Lance-like and NS8390-like use all
three of these counters. rx_missed_errors counts missed frames,
rx_over_errors counts overflow events, and rx_fifo_errors counts frames
which were truncated because they didn't fit into buffers. This suggests
that rx_fifo_errors may be the correct stat for truncated packets, but
I'd think a FIFO stat counting truncated packets would be very confusing
to a modern reader.

v2:
 - add driver developer notes about ethtool stat count and reset
 - replace Ethernet with IEEE 802.3 to better indicate source of attrs
 - mention byte counters don't count FCS
 - clarify RX counter is from device to host
 - drop "sightly" from sysfs paragraph
 - add examples of ethtool stats
 - s/incoming/received/ s/incoming/transmitted/
