We introduce a feature that works like a combination of TCP_NAGLE and TCP_CORK, but without some of the weaknesses of those. In particular, we will not observe long delivery delays because of delayed acks, since the algorithm itself decides if and when acks are to be sent from the receiving peer. - The nagle property as such is determined by manipulating a new 'maxnagle' field in struct tipc_sock. If certain conditions are met, 'maxnagle' will define max size of the messages which can be bundled. If it is set to zero no messages are ever bundled, implying that the nagle property is disabled. - A socket with the nagle property enabled enters nagle mode when more than 4 messages have been sent out without receiving any data message from the peer. - A socket leaves nagle mode whenever it receives a data message from the peer. In nagle mode, messages smaller than 'maxnagle' are accumulated in the socket write queue. The last buffer in the queue is marked with a new 'ack_required' bit, which forces the receiving peer to send a CONN_ACK message back to the sender upon reception. The accumulated contents of the write queue is transmitted when one of the following events or conditions occur. - A CONN_ACK message is received from the peer. - A data message is received from the peer. - A SOCK_WAKEUP pseudo message is received from the link level. - The write queue contains more than 64 1k blocks of data. - The connection is being shut down. - There is no CONN_ACK message to expect. I.e., there is currently no outstanding message where the 'ack_required' bit was set. As a consequence, the first message added after we enter nagle mode is always sent directly with this bit set. This new feature gives a 50-100% improvement of throughput for small (i.e., less than MTU size) messages, while it might add up to one RTT to latency time when the socket is in nagle mode.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Update firmware version This patch set updates the firmware version for Spectrum-1 and enforces a firmware version for Spectrum-2. The version adds support for querying port module type. It will be used by a followup patch set from Jiri to make port split code more generic. Patch #1 increases the size of an existing register in order to be compatible with the new firmware version. In the future the firmware will assign default values to fields not specified by the driver. Patch #2 temporarily increases the PCI reset timeout for SN3800 systems. Note that in normal cases the driver will need to wait no longer than 5 seconds for the device to become ready following reset command. Patch #3 bumps the firmware version for Spectrum-1. Patch #4 enforces a minimum firmware version for Spectrum-2. v2: * Added patch #2 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

SN3800 Spectrum-2 based systems have gearboxes that need to be initialized by the firmware during its initialization flow. In certain cases, the firmware might need to flash these gearboxes, which is currently a time-consuming process. In newer firmware versions, the firmware will not signal to the driver that it is ready until the gearboxes are flashed. Increase the PCI reset timeout for these situations. In normal cases, the driver will need to wait no longer than 5 seconds. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In new firmware versions this register is extended with a sampling rate for Spectrum-2 and future ASICs. Increase the size of the register to ensure the field is initialized to 0 which means every packet is mirrored.

Lars Poeschel says: ==================== nfc: pn533: add uart phy driver The purpose of this patch series is to add a uart phy driver to the pn533 nfc driver. It first changes the dt strings and docs. The dt compatible strings need to change, because I would add "pn532-uart" to the already existing "pn533-i2c" one. These two are now unified into just "pn532". Then the neccessary changes to the pn533 core driver are made. Then the uart phy is added. As the pn532 chip supports a autopoll, I wanted to use this instead of the software poll loop in the pn533 core driver. It is added and activated by the last to patches. The way to add the autopoll later in seperate patches is chosen, to show, that the uart phy driver can also work with the software poll loop, if someone needs that for some reason. In v11 of this patchseries I address a byte ordering issue reported by kbuild test robot in patch 5/7. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

pn532 devices support an autopoll command, that lets the chip automatically poll for selected nfc technologies instead of manually looping through every single nfc technology the user is interested in. This is faster and less cpu and bus intensive than manually polling. This adds this autopoll capability to the pn533 driver.

There is a problem in the initialisation and setup of the pn533: It registers with nfc too early. It could happen, that it finished registering with nfc and someone starts using it. But setup of the pn533 is not yet finished. Bad or at least unintended things could happen. So I split out nfc registering (and unregistering) to seperate functions that have to be called late in probe then. i2c requires a bit more love: i2c requests an irq in it's probe function. 'Commit 32ecc75d ("NFC: pn533: change order operations in dev registation")' shows, this can not happen too early. An irq can be served before structs are fully initialized. The way chosen to prevent this is to request the irq after nfc_alloc_device initialized the structs, but before nfc_register_device. So there is now this pn532_i2c_nfc_alloc function.

This adds hooks for dev_up and dev_down to the phy_ops. They are optional. The idea is to inform the phy driver when the nfc chip is really going to be used. When it is not used, the phy driver can suspend it's interface to the nfc chip to save some power. The nfc chip is considered not in use before dev_up and after dev_down.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: convert fdbs to use bitops We'd like to have a well-defined behaviour when changing fdb flags. The problem is that we've added new fields which are changed from all contexts without any locking. We are aware of the bit test/change races and these are fine (we can remove them later), but it is considered undefined behaviour to change bitfields from multiple threads and also on some architectures that can result in unexpected results, specifically when all fields between the changed ones are also bitfields. The conversion to bitops shows the intent clearly and makes them use functions with well-defined behaviour in such cases. There is no overhead for the fast-path, the bit changing functions are used only in special cases when learning and in the slow path. In addition this conversion allows us to simplify fdb flag handling and avoid bugs for future bits (e.g. a forgetting to clear the new bit when allocating a new fdb). All bridge selftests passed, also tried all of the converted bits manually in a VM. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, TIPC transports intra-node user data messages directly socket to socket, hence shortcutting all the lower layers of the communication stack. This gives TIPC very good intra node performance, both regarding throughput and latency. We now introduce a similar mechanism for TIPC data traffic across network namespaces located in the same kernel. On the send path, the call chain is as always accompanied by the sending node's network name space pointer. However, once we have reliably established that the receiving node is represented by a namespace on the same host, we just replace the namespace pointer with the receiving node/namespace's ditto, and follow the regular socket receive patch though the receiving node. This technique gives us a throughput similar to the node internal throughput, several times larger than if we let the traffic go though the full network stacks. As a comparison, max throughput for 64k messages is four times larger than TCP throughput for the same type of traffic. To meet any security concerns, the following should be noted. - All nodes joining a cluster are supposed to have been be certified and authenticated by mechanisms outside TIPC. This is no different for nodes/namespaces on the same host; they have to auto discover each other using the attached interfaces, and establish links which are supervised via the regular link monitoring mechanism. Hence, a kernel local node has no other way to join a cluster than any other node, and have to obey to policies set in the IP or device layers of the stack. - Only when a sender has established with 100% certainty that the peer node is located in a kernel local namespace does it choose to let user data messages, and only those, take the crossover path to the receiving node/namespace. - If the receiving node/namespace is removed, its namespace pointer is invalidated at all peer nodes, and their neighbor link monitoring will eventually note that this node is gone. - To ensure the "100% certainty" criteria, and prevent any possible spoofing, received discovery messages must contain a proof that the sender knows a common secret. We use the hash mix of the sending node/namespace for this purpose, since it can be accessed directly by all other namespaces in the kernel. Upon reception of a discovery message, the receiver checks this proof against all the local namespaces'hash_mix:es. If it finds a match, that, along with a matching node id and cluster id, this is deemed sufficient proof that the peer node in question is in a local namespace, and a wormhole can be opened. - We should also consider that TIPC is intended to be a cluster local IPC mechanism (just like e.g. UNIX sockets) rather than a network protocol, and hence we think it can justified to allow it to shortcut the lower protocol layers. Regarding traceability, we should notice that since commit 6c9081a3 ("tipc: add loopback device tracking") it is possible to follow the node internal packet flow by just activating tcpdump on the loopback interface. This will be true even for this mechanism; by activating tcpdump on the involved nodes' loopback interfaces their inter-name space messaging can easily be tracked. v2: - update 'net' pointer when node left/rejoined v3: - grab read/write lock when using node ref obj v4: - clone traffics between netns to loopback Suggested-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Acked-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@dektech.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-10-25 This series contains updates to i40e only. Several are fixes that could go to 'net', but were intended for 'net-next'. Sylwia changes how the driver function to read the NVM module data, so that it is able to read the LLDP agent configuration to allow for persistent LLDP. Jaroslaw resolves an issue where the incorrect FEC settings were being displayed in ethtool, by setting the proper FEC bits. Piotr moves the hardware flags detection into a separate function, so that the specific flags can be set based on the MAC and NVM. Also extends the PHY access function to include a command flag to let the firmware know it should not change the page while accessing a OSFP module. Updates the driver to display the driver and firmware version when in recovery mode. Aleksandr refactored the VF MAC filters accounting since an untrusted VF was able to delete but not add a MAC filter, so refactor the code to have more consistency and improved logging. Nicholas updates the driver to use a default interval of 50 usecs, instead of the current 100 usecs which was causing some regression performance issues. Damian resolved LED blinking issues for X710T*L devices by adding specific flows for these devices in the LED operations. Navid Emamdoost found where allocated memory is not being properly freed upon a failure in setting up MAC VLANs, so added the missing kfree(). v2: Dropped patches 2 & 6 from the original series while we wait for the author to respond to community feedback. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
