A change added to the mdiobus/phy api added a module_get/module_put during phy connect/disconnect processing. Currently, the driver performs a phy connect during module probe and a phy disconnect during module remove. With the addition of the module_get during phy connect the amd-xgbe module use count is incremented and can no longer be unloaded. Move the phy connect/disconnect from the driver probe/remove functions to the net_device_ops ndo_open/ndo_stop functions. This allows the module use count to be decremented when the device(s) are brought down and allows the module to be unloaded. Signed-off-by:

Antonio Quartulli says: ==================== pull request: batman-adv 2014-08-05 this is a pull request intended for net-next/linux-3.17 (yeah..it's really late). Patches 1, 2 and 4 are really minor changes: - kmalloc_array is substituted to kmalloc when possible (as suggested by checkpatch); - net_ratelimited() is now used properly and the "suppressed" message is not printed anymore if not needed; - the internal version number has been increased to reflect our current version. Patch 3 instead is introducing a change in the metric computation function by changing the penalty applied at each mesh hop from 15/255 (~6%) to 30/255 (~11%). This change is introduced by Simon Wunderlich after having observed a performance improvement in several networks when using the new value. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== net-timestamp: new tx tstamps and tcp Extend socket tx timestamping: - allow multiple types of software timestamps aside from send (1) - add software timestamp on enter packet scheduling (4) - add software timestamp for TCP (5) - add software timestamp for TCP on ACK (6) The sk_flags option space is nearly exhausted. Also move the many timestamp options to a new sk->sk_tstamps (2). To disambiguate data when tstamps may arrive out of order, optionally return a sequential ID assigned at send (3). Extend Linux tx timestamping to monitoring of latency incurred within the kernel stack and to protocols embedded in TCP. Complex kernel setups may have multiple layers of queueing, including multiple instances of packet scheduling, and many classes per layer. Many applications embed discrete payloads into TCP bytestreams for reliability, flow control, etcetera. Detecting application tail latency in such scenarios relies on identifying the exact queue responsible if on the host, or the network latency if otherwise. Changelog: v4->v5 - define SCM_TSTAMP_SND == 0, for legacy behavior - add TCP tstamps without changing the generated byte stream - modify GSO and ACK to find offset: slightly more complex than previous invariant that it is the last byte - consistent naming of packet scheduling - rename SCM_TSTAMP_ENQ to SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED - add unique key in ee_data - add id field in ee_info to disambiguate tstamps - optional, only on new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID - for bytestream, in bytes v3->v4 - (v3 review comment) removed skb->mark packet identification (*A) - (v3 review comment) fixed indentation - tcp: fixed poll() to return POLLERR on non-zero queue - rebased to work without syststamp - comments: removed all traces of MSG_TSTAMP_.. (*B) v2->v3 - extend the SO_TIMESTAMPING API, instead of defining a new one. - add protocol independent support to correlate tstamps with data, based on returning skb->mark. - removed no-payload optimization and documentation (for now): I have a follow-on patch that reintroduces MSG_TSTAMP along with a new socket option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ONFLAG. This is equivalent to sequence setsockopt(<enable>); send(..); setsockopt(<disable>), but avoids the need to define a MSG_TSTAMP_<TYPE> for each type. I will leave these three patches as follow-on, as this patchset is large enough as is. v1->v2 - expand timestamping (existing and new) to SOCK_RAW and ping sockets - rename sock_errqueue_timestamping to scm_timestamping - change timestamp data format: do not add fields to scm_timestamping. Doing so could break legacy applications. Instead, communicate through an existing, but unused, field in the error message. - rename SOF_.._OPT_TX_NO_PAYLOAD to shorter SOF_.._OPT_TSONLY - move msg_tstamp test app out of patchset and to github git://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools.git ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP. The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte. Signed-off-by:

TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams. Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer. The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering. The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad. This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies the option into the correct smaller packet. This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path. If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams. The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps, flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled. Implementation details: - On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case to a single branch. - To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK). The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the current seqno when reenabling the option).

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by:

Willem de Bruijn authored
Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique correlate looped data with original send() call (for application level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex, requiring packet inspection. Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of sock_extended_err. The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx timestamp generation is enabled. The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0. The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced first. Signed-off-by:

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit. Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags. Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt. SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch.

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined implicitly as timespec[3]. 1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and 2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to define the existing behavior. The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. Signed-off-by:

This commit reduces spurious retransmits due to apparent SACK reneging by only reacting to SACK reneging that persists for a short delay. When a sequence space hole at snd_una is filled, some TCP receivers send a series of ACKs as they apparently scan their out-of-order queue and cumulatively ACK all the packets that have now been consecutiveyly received. This is essentially misbehavior B in "Misbehaviors in TCP SACK generation" ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, April 2011, so we suspect that this is from several common OSes (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP). However, this issue has also been seen in other cases, e.g. the netdev thread "TCP being hoodwinked into spurious retransmissions by lack of timestamps?" from March 2014, where the receiver was thought to be a BSD box. Since snd_una would temporarily be adjacent to a previously SACKed range in these scenarios, this receiver behavior triggered the Linux SACK reneging code path in the sender. This led the sender to clear the SACK scoreboard, enter CA_Loss, and spuriously retransmit (potentially) every packet from the entire write queue at line rate just a few milliseconds before the ACK for each packet arrives at the sender. To avoid such situations, now when a sender sees apparent reneging it does not yet retransmit, but rather adjusts the RTO timer to give the receiver a little time (max(RTT/2, 10ms)) to send us some more ACKs that will restore sanity to the SACK scoreboard. If the reneging persists until this RTO then, as before, we clear the SACK scoreboard and enter CA_Loss. A 10ms delay tolerates a receiver sending such a stream of ACKs at 56Kbit/sec. And to allow for receivers with slower or more congested paths, we wait for at least RTT/2. We validated the resulting max(RTT/2, 10ms) delay formula with a mix of North American and South American Google web server traffic, and found that for ACKs displaying transient reneging: (1) 90% of inter-ACK delays were less than 10ms (2) 99% of inter-ACK delays were less than RTT/2 In tests on Google web servers this commit reduced reneging events by 75%-90% (as measured by the TcpExtTCPSACKReneging counter), without any measurable impact on latency for user HTTP and SPDY requests.

Zoltan Kiss says: ==================== xen-netback: Changes around carrier handling This series starts using carrier off as a way to purge packets when the guest is not able (or willing) to receive them. It is a much faster way to get rid of packets waiting for an overwhelmed guest. The first patch changes current netback code where it relies currently on netif_carrier_ok. The second turns off the carrier if the guest times out on a queue, and only turn it on again if that queue (or queues) resurrects. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Currently when the guest is not able to receive more packets, qdisc layer starts a timer, and when it goes off, qdisc is started again to deliver a packet again. This is a very slow way to drain the queues, consumes unnecessary resources and slows down other guests shutdown. This patch change the behaviour by turning the carrier off when that timer fires, so all the packets are freed up which were stucked waiting for that vif. Instead of the rx_queue_purge bool it uses the VIF_STATUS_RX_PURGE_EVENT bit to signal the thread that either the timeout happened or an RX interrupt arrived, so the thread can check what it should do. It also disables NAPI, so the guest can't transmit, but leaves the interrupts on, so it can resurrect. Only the queues which brought down the interface can enable it again, the bit QUEUE_STATUS_RX_STALLED makes sure of that. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'master-2014-07-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next Conflicts: net/6lowpan/iphc.c Minor conflicts in iphc.c were changes overlapping with some style cleanups. John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this last(?) batch of wireless change intended for the 3.17 stream... For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is a rather quiet one, we have: - A new driver from ST Microelectronics for their NCI ST21NFCB, including device tree support. - p2p support for the ST21NFCA driver - A few fixes an enhancements for the NFC digital laye" For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal and Janusz did some important RX aggregation fixes, basically we were missing RX reordering altogether. The 10.1 firmware doesn't support Ad-Hoc mode and Michal fixed ath10k so that it doesn't advertise Ad-Hoc support with that firmware. Also he implemented a workaround for a KVM issue." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo and Johan say: "To quote Gustavo from his previous request: 'Some last minute fixes for -next. We have a fix for a use after free in RFCOMM, another fix to an issue with ADV_DIRECT_IND and one for ADV_IND with auto-connection handling. Last, we added support for reading the codec and MWS setting for controllers that support these features.' Additionally there are fixes to LE scanning, an update to conform to the 4.1 core specification as well as fixes for tracking the page scan state. All of these fixes are important for 3.17." And, "We've got: - 6lowpan fixes/cleanups - A couple crash fixes, one for the Marvell HCI driver and another in LE SMP. - Fix for an incorrect connected state check - Fix for the bondable requirement during pairing (an issue which had crept in because of using "pairable" when in fact the actual meaning was "bondable" (these have different meanings in Bluetooth)" Along with those are some late-breaking hardware support patches in brcmfmac and b43 as well as a stray ath9k patch. ==================== Signed-off-by:

The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi penalty). After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well. We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all. This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty). Signed-off-by:

Intel did some benchmarking on our network throughput when Linux on Hyper-V is as used as a gateway. This fix gave us almost a 1 Gbps additional throughput on about 5Gbps base throughput we hadi, prior to increasing the sendbuf size. The sendbuf mechanism is a copy based transport that we have which is clearly more optimal than the copy-free page flipping mechanism (for small packets). In the forwarding scenario, we deal only with MTU sized packets, and increasing the size of the senbuf area gave us the additional performance. For what it is worth, Windows guests on Hyper-V, I am told use similar sendbuf size as well. The exact value of sendbuf I think is less important than the fact that it needs to be larger than what Linux can allocate as physically contiguous memory. Thus the change over to allocating via vmalloc(). We currently allocate 16MB receive buffer and we use vmalloc there for allocation. Also the low level channel code has already been modified to deal with physically dis-contiguous memory in the ringbuffer setup. Based on experimentation Intel did, they say there was some improvement in throughput as the sendbuf size was increased up to 16MB and there was no effect on throughput beyond 16MB. Thus I have chosen 16MB here. Increasing the sendbuf value makes a material difference in small packet handling In this version of the patch, based on David's feedback, I have added additional details in the commit log.

Thomas Graf says: ==================== Lockless netlink_lookup() with new concurrent hash table Netlink sockets are maintained in a hash table to allow efficient lookup via the port ID for unicast messages. However, lookups currently require a read lock to be taken. This series adds a new generic, resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table based on the paper referenced in the first patch. It then makes use of the new data type to implement lockless netlink_lookup(). Patch 3/3 to convert nft_hash is included for reference but should be merged via the netfilter tree. Inclusion in this series is to provide context for the suggested API. Against net-next since the initial user of the new hash table is in net/ Changes: v4-v5: - use GFP_KERNEL to alloc Netlink buckets as suggested by Nikolay Aleksandrov - free nft hash element on removal as spotted by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Patrick McHardy v3-v4: - fixed wrong shift assignment placement as spotted by Nikolay Aleksandrov - reverted default size of nft_hash to 4 as requested by Patrick McHardy, default size for other hash tables remains at 64 if no hint is given - fixed copyright as requested by Patrick McHardy v2-v3: - fixed typo in nft_hash_destroy() when passing rhashtable handle v1-v2: - fixed traversal off-by-one as spotted by Tobias Klauser - removed unlikely() from BUG_ON() as spotted by Josh Triplett - new 3rd patch to convert nft_hash to rhashtable - make rhashtable_insert() return void - nl_sk_hash_lock must be a mutex - fixed wrong name of rht_shrink_below_30() - exported symbols rht_grow_above_75() and rht_shrink_below_30() - allow table freeing with RCU callback ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of RCU relieves the lock contention. Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the lookup. The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls below 30%. Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers during expansion and shrinking.

Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare functions. Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections. Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place. Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure reverse chaining behaviour. Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined. [0] https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/atc11/tech/final_files/Triplett.pdfSigned-off-by:

Aaron Brown says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to the i40e and i40evf drivers. Vasu adds FCOE support, build options and a documentation pointer to i40e. Shannon exposes a Firmware API request used to do register writes on the driver's behalf and disables local loopback on VMDQ VSI in order to stop the VEB from echoing the VMDQ packets back at the VSI. Ashish corrects the vf_id offset for virtchnl messages in the case of multiple PFs, removes support for vf unicast promiscuos mode to disallow VFs from receiving traffic intended for another VF, updates the vfr_stat state check to handle the existing and future mechanism and adds an adapter state check to prevent re-arming the watchdog timer after i40evf_remove has been called and the timer has been deleted. Serey fixes an issue where a guest OS would panic when removing the vf driver while the device is being reset due to an attempt to clean a non initialized mac_filter_list. Akeem makes a minor comment change. Jessie changes an instance of sprintf to snprintf that was missed when the driver was converted to use snprintf everywhere. Mitch plugs a few memory leaks. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Removing VF driver during device still in reset caused guest OS panic. in the i40evf_remove(), we're trying to clean mac_filter_list which has not been initialized since the device is still stuck at the reset. The change is to initialize the filter_list before setting any task. Change-ID: I8b59df7384416c7e6f2d264b598f447e1c2c92b0 Signed-off-by:
