The TXQ intermediate queues can cause packet reordering when more than one flow is active to a single station. Since some of the wifi-specific packet handling (notably sequence number and encryption handling) is sensitive to re-ordering, things break if they are applied before the TXQ. This splits up the TX handlers and fast_xmit logic into two parts: An early part and a late part. The former is applied before TXQ enqueue, and the latter after dequeue. The non-TXQ path just applies both parts at once. Because fragments shouldn't be split up or reordered, the fragmentation handler is run after dequeue. Any fragments are then kept in the TXQ and on subsequent dequeues they take precedence over dequeueing from the FQ structure. This approach avoids having to scatter special cases all over the place for when TXQ is enabled, at the cost of making the fast_xmit and TX handler code slightly more complex. Signed-off-by:

The old value was 30ms, which means mesh sync will treat any value below as merely TSF drift. This isn't really reasonable (typical drift is < 10us/s) since people probably want to adjust TSF in smaller increments (for ie. beacon collision avoidance) without mesh sync fighting back. Change max drift adjustment to 0.8ms, so manual TSF adjustments can be made in 1ms increments, with some margin. Signed-off-by:

This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in programming absolute TSF. Signed-off-by:

Small devices can run out of memory from queueing too many packets. If VHT is not supported by the PHY, having more than 4 MBytes of total queue in the TXQ intermediate queues is not needed, and so we can safely limit the memory usage in these cases and avoid OOM. Signed-off-by:

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen authored
The reusable fairness queueing implementation (fq.h) lacks the memory usage limit that the fq_codel qdisc has. This means that small devices (e.g. WiFi routers) can run out of memory when flooded with a large number of packets. This ports the memory limit feature from fq_codel to fq.h. Signed-off-by:

Jouni reported that during (repeated) wext_pmf test runs (from the wpa_supplicant hwsim test suite) the kernel crashes. The reason is that after the key is set, the wext code still unnecessarily stores it into the key cache. Despite smatch pointing out an overflow, I failed to identify the possibility for this in the code and missed it during development of the earlier patch series. In order to fix this, simply check that we never store anything but WEP keys into the cache, adding a comment as to why that's enough. Also, since the cache is still allocated early even if it won't be used in many cases, add a comment explaining why - otherwise we'd have to roll back key settings to the driver in case of allocation failures, which is far more difficult. Fixes: 89b706fb ("cfg80211: reduce connect key caching struct size") Reported-by:

Instead of using flow stats per NUMA node, use it per CPU. When using megaflows, the stats lock can be a bottleneck in scalability. On a E5-2690 12-core system, usual throughput went from ~4Mpps to ~15Mpps when forwarding between two 40GbE ports with a single flow configured on the datapath. This has been tested on a system with possible CPUs 0-7,16-23. After module removal, there were no corruption on the slab cache. Signed-off-by:

On a system with only node 1 as possible, all statistics is going to be accounted on node 0 as it will have a single writer. However, when getting and clearing the statistics, node 0 is not going to be considered, as it's not a possible node. Tested that statistics are not zero on a system with only node 1 possible.

As David and Marcelo's suggestion, ENOMEM err shouldn't return back to user in transmit path. Instead, sctp's retransmit would take care of the chunks that fail to send because of ENOMEM. This patch is only to do some release job when alloc_skb fails, not to return ENOMEM back any more. Besides, it also cleans up sctp_packet_transmit's err path, and fixes some issues in err path: - It didn't free the head skb in nomem: path. - No need to check nskb in no_route: path. - It should goto err: path if alloc_skb fails for head. - Not all the NOMEMs should free nskb.

sctp_outq_flush return value is meaningless now, this patch is to make sctp_outq_flush return void, as well as sctp_outq_fail and sctp_outq_uncork. Signed-off-by:
-
Xin Long authored
Every time when sctp calls sctp_outq_flush, it sends out the chunks of control queue, retransmit queue and data queue. Even if some trunks are failed to transmit, it still has to flush all the transports, as it's the only chance to clean that transmit_list. So the latest transmit error here should be returned back. This transmit error is an internal error of sctp stack. I checked all the places where it uses the transmit error (the return value of sctp_outq_flush), most of them are actually just save it to sk_err. Except for sctp_assoc/endpoint_bh_rcv, they will drop the chunk if it's failed to send a REPLY, which is actually incorrect, as we can't be sure the error that sctp_outq_flush returns is from sending that REPLY. So it's meaningless for sctp_outq_flush to return error back. This patch is to save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush, the new error can update the old value. Eventually, sctp_wait_for_* would check for it. Signed-off-by:

Last patch "sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg" made sctp_primitive_SEND return err only when asoc state is unavailable. In this case, chunks are not enqueued, they have no chance to be freed if we don't take care of them later. This Patch is actually to revert commit 1cd4d5c4 ("sctp: remove the unused sctp_datamsg_free()"), commit 69b5777f ("sctp: hold the chunks only after the chunk is enqueued in outq") and commit 8b570dc9 ("sctp: only drop the reference on the datamsg after sending a msg"), to use sctp_datamsg_free to free the chunks of current msg.

Xin Long authored
Once a chunk is enqueued successfully, sctp queues can take care of it. Even if it is failed to transmit (like because of nomem), it should be put into retransmit queue. If sctp report this error to users, it confuses them, they may resend that msg, but actually in kernel sctp stack is in charge of retransmit it already. Besides, this error probably is not from the failure of transmitting current msg, but transmitting or retransmitting another msg's chunks, as sctp_outq_flush just tries to send out all transports' chunks. This patch is to make sctp_cmd_send_msg return avoid, and not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg Fixes: 8b570dc9 ("sctp: only drop the reference on the datamsg after sending a msg") Signed-off-by:

Xin Long authored
Data Chunks are only sent by sctp_primitive_SEND, in which sctp checks the asoc's state through statetable before calling sctp_outq_tail. So there's no need to check the asoc's state again in sctp_outq_tail. Besides, sctp_do_sm is protected by lock_sock, even if sending msg is interrupted by timer events, the event's processes still need to acquire lock_sock first. It means no others CMDs can be enqueue into side effect list before CMD_SEND_MSG to change asoc->state, so it's safe to remove it. This patch is to remove redundant asoc->state check from sctp_outq_tail. Signed-off-by:

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== ip_tunnel: add collect_md mode to IPv4/IPv6 tunnels Similar to geneve, vxlan, gre tunnels implement 'collect metadata' mode in ipip, ipip6, ip6ip6 tunnels. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Alexei Starovoitov authored
the test creates 3 namespaces with veth connected via bridge. First two namespaces simulate two different hosts with the same IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured on the tunnel interface and they communicate with outside world via standard tunnels. Third namespace creates collect_md tunnel that is driven by BPF program which selects different remote host (either first or second namespace) based on tcp dest port number while tcp dst ip is the same. This scenario is rough approximation of load balancer use case. The tests check both traditional tunnel configuration and collect_md mode. Signed-off-by:
