Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== bridge: neigh msg proxy and flood suppression support This series implements arp and nd suppression in the bridge driver for ethernet vpns. It implements rfc7432, section 10 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports. Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan. v2 : rebase to latest + address some optimization feedback from Nikolay. v3 : fix kbuild reported build errors with CONFIG_INET off v4 : simplify port flag mask as suggested by stephen v5 : address some feedback from Toshiaki v6 : some v5 cleanups in nd suppress (keep it consistent with arp suppress) ==================== Signed-off-by:

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox, mlx5 updates 2017-10-06 This series includes some shared code updates for kernel 4.15 to both net-next and rdma-next trees. The series includes mlx5 low level flow steering updates and optimizations to support firmware command parallelism for flow steering requests from Maor Gottlieb and two other small fixes from Matan and Maor. One fix from Matan adds error handling for when the destination list of the flow steering rule is full. Maor introduced a patch to avoid NULL pointer dereference on steering cleanup. Then Some refactoring patches needed by the series for code sharing purposes. and split the Flow Table Entry (FTE) and Flow Group (FG) creation code to two parts: 1) Object allocation - allocate the steering node and initialize its resources. 2) The firmware command execution. This change will give us the ability to take write lock on the parent node (e.g. FG for FTE creating) only on the software data struct allocation and creation part of the procedure where the synchronization is really required, and will allow us to execute multiple firmware commands simultaneously and overcome the firmware bottleneck. Refactor the locking scheme of the mlx5 core flow steering as follows: 1) Replace the mutex lock with readers-writers semaphore and take the write lock only when necessary (e.g. allocating a new flow table entry index or adding a node to the parent's children list). When we try to find a suitable child in the parent's children list (e.g. search for flow group with the same match_criteria of the rule) then we only take the read lock. 2) Add versioning mechanism - each steering entity (FT, FG, FTE, DST) will have an incremental version. The version is increased when the entity is changed (e.g. when a new FTE was added to FG - the FG's version is increased). Versioning is used in order to determine if the last traverse of an entity's children is valid or a rescan under write lock is required. Last patch adds FGs and FTEs memory pool, It is useful because these objects are not small and could be allocated/deallocated many times. This support improves the insertion rate of steering rules from ~5k/sec to ~40k/sec. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Yonghong Song says: ==================== bpf: add two helpers to read perf event enabled/running time Hardware pmu counters are limited resources. When there are more pmu based perf events opened than available counters, kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain percentage (but not 100%) of the pmu time. In case that multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value will not reflect the case compared to no multiplexing. This makes comparison between different runs difficult. Typically, the number of samples or counter value should be normalized before comparing to other experiments. The typical normalization is done like: normalized_num_samples = num_samples * time_enabled / time_running normalized_counter_value = counter_value * time_enabled / time_running where time_enabled is the time enabled for event and time_running is the time running for event since last normalization. This patch set implements two helper functions. The helper bpf_perf_event_read_value reads counter/time_enabled/time_running for perf event array map.

Wei Wang says: ==================== ipv6: replace rwlock with rcu and spinlock in fib6 table Currently, fib6 table is protected by rwlock. During route lookup, reader lock is taken and during route insertion, deletion or modification, writer lock is taken. This is a very inefficient implementation because the fastpath always has to do the operation to grab the reader lock. According to my latest syn flood test on an iota ivybridage machine with 2 10G mlx nics bonded together, each with 8 rx queues on 2 NUMA nodes, and with the upstream net-next kernel: ipv4 stack can handle around 4.2Mpps ipv6 stack can handle around 1.3Mpps In order to close the gap of the performance number between ipv4 and ipv6 stack, this patch series tries to get rid of the usage of the rwlock and replace it with rcu and spinlock protection. This will greatly speed up the fastpath performance as it only needs to hold rcu which is much less expensive than grabbing the reader lock. It also makes ipv6 fib implementation more consistent with ipv4. In order to be able to replace the current rwlock with rcu and spinlock, some preparation work is needed: Patch 1-8 introduces a per-route hash table (protected by rcu and a different spinlock) to store all cached routes created by pmtu and ip redirect under its main route. This makes the main fib6 tree only contain static routes. Patch 9-14 prepares all the reader path to be ready to tolerate concurrent writer. Patch 15 finally does the rwlock to rcu and spinlock conversion. Patch 16 takes care of rt6_stats. After this patch series, in the same syn flood test, ipv6 stack can now handle around 3.5Mpps compared to previous 1.3Mpps in my test setup. After this patch series, there are still some improvements that should be done in ipv6 stack: 1. During route lookup, dst_use() is called everytime on the selected route to update dst->__use and dst->lastuse. This dirties the cacheline and causes extra cacheline miss and should be avoided. 2. when no route is found in the current table, net->ip6.ipv6_null_entry is used and refcnt is taken on it. As there is no pcpu cache for this specific route, frequent change on the refcnt for this route causes quite some cacheline misses. And to make things worse, if CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES is defined, output path route lookup always starts with local table first and guarantees to hit net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry before continuing to do lookup in the main table. These operations on net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry could potentially be avoided. 3. ipv6 input path route lookup grabs refcnt on dst. This is different from ipv4. We could potentially change this behavior to let ipv6 input path route lookup not to grab refcnt on dst. However, it does not give us much performance boost as we currently have pcpu route cache for input path as well in ipv6. But this work probably is still worth doing to unify ipv6 and ipv4 route lookup behavior. The above issues will be addressed separately after this patch series has been accepted. This is a joint work with Martin KaFai Lau and Eric Dumazet. And many many thanks to them for their inspiring ideas and big big code review efforts. ==================== Reviewed-by:

With all the preparation work before, we are now ready to replace rwlock with rcu and spinlock in fib6_table. That means now all fib6_node in fib6_table are protected by rcu. And when freeing fib6_node, call_rcu() is used to wait for the rcu grace period before releasing the memory. When accessing fib6_node, corresponding rcu APIs need to be used. And all previous sessions protected by the write lock will now be protected by the spin lock per table. All previous sessions protected by read lock will now be protected by rcu_read_lock(). A couple of things to note here: 1. As part of the work of replacing rwlock with rcu, the linked list of fn->leaf now has to be rcu protected as well. So both fn->leaf and rt->dst.rt6_next are now __rcu tagged and corresponding rcu APIs are used when manipulating them. 2. For fn->rr_ptr, first of all, it also needs to be rcu protected now and is tagged with __rcu and rcu APIs are used in corresponding places. Secondly, fn->rr_ptr is changed in rt6_select() which is a reader thread. This makes the issue a bit complicated. We think a valid solution for it is to let rt6_select() grab the tb6_lock if it decides to change it. As it is not in the normal operation and only happens when there is no valid neighbor cache for the route, we think the performance impact should be low. 3. fib6_walk_continue() has to be called with tb6_lock held even in the route dumping related functions, e.g. inet6_dump_fib(), fib6_tables_dump() and ipv6_route_seq_ops. It is because fib6_walk_continue() makes modifications to the walker structure, and so are fib6_repair_tree() and fib6_del_route(). In order to do proper syncing between them, we need to let fib6_walk_continue() hold the lock. We may be able to do further improvement on the way we do the tree walk to get rid of the need for holding the spin lock. But not for now. 4. When fib6_del_route() removes a route from the tree, we no longer mark rt->dst.rt6_next to NULL to make simultaneous reader be able to further traverse the list with rcu. However, rt->dst.rt6_next is only valid within this same rcu period. No one should access it later. 5. All the operation of atomic_inc(rt->rt6i_ref) is changed to be performed before we publish this route (either by linking it to fn->leaf or insert it in the list pointed by fn->leaf) just to be safe because as soon as we publish the route, some read thread will be able to access it.

After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, fib6_lookup() could potentially return an intermediate node if other thread is doing fib6_del() on a route which is the only route on the node so that fib6_repair_tree() will be called on this node and potentially assigns fn->leaf to the its child's fn->leaf. In order to detect this situation in rt6_select(), we have to check if fn->fn_bit is consistent with the key length stored in the route. And depending on if the fn is in the subtree or not, the key is either rt->rt6i_dst or rt->rt6i_src. If any inconsistency is found, that means the node no longer holds valid routes in it. So net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry is returned. Signed-off-by:

If rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, it is possible that the reader thread will see fn->leaf as NULL in the following scenarios: 1. fib6_add() is in progress and we have already inserted a new node but not yet inserted the route. 2. fib6_del_route() is in progress and we have already set fn->leaf to NULL but not yet freed the node because of rcu grace period. This patch makes sure all the reader threads check fn->leaf first before using it. And together with later patch to grab rcu_read_lock() and rcu_dereference() fn->leaf, it makes sure reader threads are safe when accessing fn->leaf. Signed-off-by:

fib6_add() logic currently calls fib6_add_1() to figure out what node should be used for the newly added route and then call fib6_add_rt2node() to insert the route to the node. And during the call of fib6_add_1(), fn_sernum is updated for all nodes that share the same prefix as the new route. This does not have issue in the current code because reader thread will not be able to access the tree while writer thread is inserting new route to it. However, it is not the case once we transition to use RCU. Reader thread could potentially see the new fn_sernum before the new route is inserted. As a result, reader thread's route lookup will return a stale route with the new fn_sernum. In order to solve this issue, we remove all the update of fn_sernum in fib6_add_1(), and instead, introduce a new function that updates fn_sernum for all related nodes and call this functions once the route is successfully inserted to the tree. Also, smp_wmb() is used after a route is successfully inserted into the fib tree and right before the updated of fn->sernum. And smp_rmb() is used right after fn->sernum is accessed in rt6_get_cookie_safe(). This is to guarantee that when the reader thread sees the new fn->sernum, the new route is already inserted in the tree in memory. Signed-off-by:

With rwlock, it is safe to call dst_hold() in the read thread because read thread is guaranteed to be separated from write thread. However, after we replace rwlock with rcu, it is no longer safe to use dst_hold(). A dst might already have been deleted but is waiting for the rcu grace period to pass before freeing the memory when a read thread is trying to do dst_hold(). This could potentially cause double free issue. So this commit replaces all dst_hold() with dst_hold_safe() in all read thread to avoid this double free issue. And in order to make the code more compact, a new function ip6_hold_safe() is introduced. It calls dst_hold_safe() first, and if that fails, it will either fall back to hold and return net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry or set rt to NULL according to the caller's need. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the call to free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) from rt6_release() to avoid the race condition between rt6_release() and rt6_get_pcpu_route().

After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, ip6_pol_route() will be called with only rcu held. That means rt6 route deletion could happen simultaneously with rt6_make_pcpu_rt(). This could potentially cause memory leak if rt6_release() is called right before rt6_make_pcpu_rt() on the same route. This patch grabs rt->rt6i_ref safely before calling rt6_make_pcpu_rt() to make sure rt6_release() will not get triggered while rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is in progress. And rt6_release() is called after rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is finished. Note: As we are incrementing rt->rt6i_ref in ip6_pol_route(), there is a very slim chance that fib6_purge_rt() will be triggered unnecessarily when deleting a route if ip6_pol_route() running on another thread picks this route as well and tries to make pcpu cache for it.

This commit makes use of the exception hash table implementation to store dst caches created by pmtu discovery and ip redirect into the hash table under the rt_info and no longer inserts these routes into fib6 tree. This makes the fib6 tree only contain static configured routes and could now be protected by rcu instead of a rw lock. With this change, in the route lookup related functions, after finding the rt6_info with the longest prefix, we also need to search for the exception table before doing backtracking. In the route delete function, if the route being deleted is not a dst cache, deletion of this route also need to flush the whole hash table under it. If it is a dst cache, then only delete the cached dst in the hash table. Note: for fib6_walk_continue() function, w->root now is always pointing to a root node considering that fib6_prune_clones() is removed from the code. So we add a WARN_ON() msg to make sure w->root always points to a root node and also removed the update of w->root in fib6_repair_tree(). This is a prerequisite for later patch because we don't need to make w->root as rcu protected when replacing rwlock with RCU. Also, we remove all prune related variables as it is no longer used.

fib6_locate() is used to find the fib6_node according to the passed in prefix address key. It currently tries to find the fib6_node with the exact match of the passed in key. However, when we move cached routes into the exception table, fib6_locate() will fail to find the fib6_node for it as the cached routes will be stored in the exception table under the fib6_node with the longest prefix match of the cache's dst addr key.
