Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: some cleanups and improvements This series mostly contains cleanups and cosmetic code changes. The only real functional change is in #4 and #5, where we change the locking structure for nodes and links in order to permit full concurrency between links working in parallel on different interfaces. Since the groundwork for this has been done in previous commit series, this change constitutes only the final, small step to achieve that goal. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

In our effort to have less code and include dependencies between entities such as node, link and bearer, we try to narrow down the exposed interface towards the node as much as possible. In this commit, we move the definition of struct tipc_node, along with many of its associated function declarations, from node.h to node.c. We also move some function definitions from link.c and name_distr.c to node.c, since they access fields in struct tipc_node that should not be externally visible. The moved functions are renamed according to new location, and made static whenever possible. There are no functional changes in this commit.

According to the node FSM a node in state SELF_UP_PEER_UP cannot change state inside a lock context, except when a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL (SYNCH or FAILOVER) packet arrives. However, the node's individual links may still change state. Since each link now is protected by its own spinlock, we finally have the conditions in place to convert the node spinlock to an rwlock_t. If the node state and arriving packet type are rigth, we can let the link directly receive the packet under protection of its own spinlock and the node lock in read mode. In all other cases we use the node lock in write mode. This enables full concurrent execution between parallel links during steady-state traffic situations, i.e., 99+ % of the time. This commit implements this change. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As a preparation to allow parallel links to work more independently from each other we introduce a per-link spinlock, to be stored in the struct nodes's link entry area. Since the node lock still is a regular spinlock there is no increase in parallellism at this stage.

The file name_distr.c currently contains three functions, named_cluster_distribute(), tipc_publ_subcscribe() and tipc_publ_unsubscribe() that all directly access fields in struct tipc_node.

The function tipc_node_check_state() contains the core logics for handling link synchronization and failover. For this reason, it is important to keep it as comprehensible as possible. In this commit, we make three small cleanups. 1) If the node is in state SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING and the received packet confirms that the peer has lost contact, there will be no further action in this function. To make this clearer, we return from the function directly after the state change. 2) Since commit 0f8b8e28 ("tipc: eliminate risk of stalled link synchronization") only the logically first TUNNEL_PROTO/SYNCH packet can alter the link state and set the synch point, independently of arrival order. Hence, there is not any longer any need to adjust the synch value in case such packets arrive in disorder. We remove this adjustment. 3) It is the intention that any message arriving on any of the links may trig a check for and possible termination of a node SYNCH state. A redundant and unnoticed check for tipc_link_is_synching() obviously beats this purpose, with the effect that only packets arriving on the synching link may currently end the synch state. We remove this check. This change will further shorten the synchronization period between parallel links.

Yuval Mintz authored
Today, port statistics are being presented when using `ethool -S' only for single-function devices, but there are some port statistics which are crucial for analyzing bottle-necks. E.g., HW Rx discards due to lack of buffer space [when device isn't handling ingress traffic fast enough]. Judging the pros and cons, it was decided that in-order to better support automatic dump-gathering tools, bnx2x should no longer hide those stats. This leaves only VFs lacking the port statistics.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: extend busy polling support This patch series extends busy polling range to tunnels devices, and adds busy polling generic support to all NAPI drivers. No need to provide ndo_busy_poll() method and extra synchronization between ndo_busy_poll() and normal napi->poll() method. This was proven very difficult and bug prone. mlx5 driver is changed to support busy polling using this new method, and a second mlx5 patch adds napi_complete_done() support and proper SNMP accounting. bnx2x and mlx4 drivers are converted to new infrastructure, reducing kernel bloat and improving performance. Latest patch, adding generic support, adds a new requirement : -free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() must be called from process context. Since this might not be the case in some drivers, we might have to either : fix the non conformant drivers (by disabling busy polling on them) or revert this last patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

NAPI drivers no longer need to observe a particular protocol to benefit from busy polling (CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL=y) napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() are automatically called from core networking stack, respectively from netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del() This patch depends on free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() being called from process context, which seems to be the norm. Drivers might still prefer to call napi_hash_del() on their own, since they might combine all the rcu grace periods into a single one, knowing their NAPI structures lifetime, while core networking stack has no idea of a possible combining. Once this patch proves to not bring serious regressions, we will cleanup drivers to either remove napi_hash_del() or provide appropriate rcu grace periods combining.

We would like to automatically provide busy polling support to all NAPI drivers, without them having to implement anything. skb_mark_napi_id() can be called from napi_gro_receive() and napi_get_frags().

Instead of having to implement complex ndo_busy_poll() method, drivers can simply rely on NAPI poll logic. Busy polling gains are mainly coming from polling itself, not on exact details on how we poll the device. ndo_busy_poll() if implemented can avoid touching napi state, but it adds extra synchronization between normal napi->poll() and busy poll handler, slowing down the common path (non busy polling) with extra atomic operations. In practice few drivers ever got busy poll because of the complexity. We could go one step further, and make busy polling available for all NAPI drivers, but this would require that all netif_napi_del() calls are done in process context so that we can call synchronize_rcu(). Full audit would be required. Before this is done, a driver still needs to call : - skb_mark_napi_id() for each skb provided to the stack. - napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() to allocate a napi_id per napi struct. - Make sure RCU grace period is respected after napi_hash_del() before memory containing napi structure is freed. Followup patch implements busy poll for mlx5 driver as an example. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Instead of blocking BH in whole sk_busy_loop(), block them only around ->ndo_busy_poll() calls. This has many benefits. 1) allow tunneled traffic to use busy poll as well as native traffic. Tunnels handlers usually call netif_rx() and depend on net_rx_action() being run (from sofirq handler) 2) allow RFS/RPS being used (sending IPI to other cpus if needed) 3) use the 'lets burn cpu cycles' budget to do useful work (like TX completions, timers, RCU callbacks...) 4) reduce BH latencies, making busy poll a better citizen.

skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id share a common storage, and we had various bugs about this. We had to call skb_sender_cpu_clear() in some places to not leave a prior skb->napi_id and fool netdev_pick_tx() As suggested by Alexei, we could split the space so that these errors can not happen. 0 value being reserved as the common (not initialized) value, let's reserve [1 .. NR_CPUS] range for valid sender_cpu, and [NR_CPUS+1 .. ~0U] for valid napi_id. This will allow proper busy polling support over tunnels.
