      packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option · d346a3fa
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that
allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead
of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when
PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar
scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that
needs to be provided, for example.

On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET
TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users,
however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent
own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly
push the frame to the driver.

In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for
PF_PACKET a bit:

  # CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS   -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**]
  1 CPU  ==  1,509,628 pps --  1,208,708 --  1,247,436
  2 CPUs ==  3,198,659 pps --  2,536,012 --  1,605,779
  3 CPUs ==  4,787,992 pps --  3,788,740 --  1,735,610
  4 CPUs ==  6,173,956 pps --  4,907,799 --  1,909,114
  5 CPUs ==  7,495,676 pps --  5,956,499 --  2,014,422
  6 CPUs ==  9,001,496 pps --  7,145,064 --  2,155,261
  7 CPUs == 10,229,776 pps --  8,190,596 --  2,220,619
  8 CPUs == 11,040,732 pps --  9,188,544 --  2,241,879
  9 CPUs == 12,009,076 pps -- 10,275,936 --  2,068,447
 10 CPUs == 11,380,052 pps -- 11,265,337 --  1,578,689
 11 CPUs == 11,672,676 pps -- 11,845,344 --  1,297,412
 [...]
 20 CPUs == 11,363,192 pps -- 11,014,933 --  1,245,081

 [**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people
       seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed)

The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple
static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs.  The trick in the fast
"qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by
setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like:
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0);

Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if
queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are
ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For
a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable.

The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet
socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that
is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.

Done in joint work together with Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

      net: dev: move inline skb_needs_linearize helper to header · 4262e5cc
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      As we need it elsewhere, move the inline helper function of
skb_needs_linearize() over to skbuff.h include file. While
at it, also convert the return to 'bool' instead of 'int'
and add a proper kernel doc.

      packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0 · 66e56cd4
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      Commit e40526cb introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets
hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to
update the device used for the send path.

We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with
sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0
passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind.

So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline
these helper functions automagically.

While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(),
and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is
not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware
of that in his reference example [1]). Tested with reproducer
from e40526cb.

      pkt_sched: give visibility to mq slave qdiscs · 95dc1929
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Commit 6da7c8fc ("qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline")
added the ability to change default qdisc from pfifo_fast to say fq

But as most modern ethernet devices are multiqueue, we cant really
see all the statistics from "tc -s qdisc show", as the default root
qdisc is mq.

This patch adds the calls to qdisc_list_add() to mq and mqprio

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to i40e only.

Jacob provides a i40e patch to get 1588 work correctly by separating
TSYNVALID and TSYNINDX fields in the receive descriptor.

Jesse provides several i40e patches, first to correct the checking
of the multi-bit state.  The hash is reported correctly in the RSS
field if and only if the filter status is 3.  Other values of the
filter status mean different things and we should not depend on a
bitwise result.  Then provides a patch to enable a couple of
workarounds based on revision ID that allow the driver to work
more fully on early hardware.

Shannon provides several i40e patches as well.  First sets the media
type in the hardware structure based on the external connection type.
Then provides a patch to only setup the rings that will be used.  Lastly
provides a fix where the TESTING state was still set when exiting the
ethtool diagnostics.

Kevin Scott provides one i40e patch to add a new flag to the i40e_add_veb()
which allows the driver to request the hardware to filter on layer 2
parameters.

Anjali provides four i40e patches, first refactors the reset code in
order to re-size queues and vectors while the interface is still up.
Then provides a patch to enable all PCTYPEs expect FCoE for RSS.  Adds
a message to notify the user of how many VFs are initialized on each
port.  Lastly adds a new variable to track the number of PF instances,
this is a global counter on purpose so that each PF loaded has a
unique ID.

Catherine bumps the driver version.
