After the patch 'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception', we need to compensate the performance hit (bouncing dst->__refcnt).

This patch breaks up ip6_rt_copy() into ip6_rt_copy_init() and ip6_rt_cache_alloc(). In the later patch, we need to create a percpu rt6_info copy. Hence, refactor the common rt6_info init codes to ip6_rt_copy_init().

The neighbor look-up used to depend on the rt6i_gateway (if there is a gateway) or the rt6i_dst (if it is a RTF_CACHE clone) as the nexthop address. Note that rt6i_dst is set to fl6->daddr for the RTF_CACHE clone where fl6->daddr is the one used to do the route look-up. Now, we only create RTF_CACHE clone after encountering exception. When doing the neighbor look-up with a route that is neither a gateway nor a RTF_CACHE clone, the daddr in skb will be used as the nexthop. In some cases, the daddr in skb is not the one used to do the route look-up. One example is in ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6() where the real nexthop server address is different from the one in the skb. This patch is going to follow the IPv4 approach and ask the ip6_pol_route() callers to set the FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH properly. In the next patch, ip6_pol_route() will honor the FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH and create a RTF_CACHE clone.

Instead of doing the rt6->rt6i_node check whenever we need to get the route's cookie. Refactor it into rt6_get_cookie(). It is a prep work to handle FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH and also percpu rt6_info later.

This patch creates a RTF_CACHE routes only after encountering a pmtu exception. After ip6_rt_update_pmtu() has inserted the RTF_CACHE route to the fib6 tree, the rt->rt6i_node->fn_sernum is bumped which will fail the ip6_dst_check() and trigger a relookup.

When creating a RTF_CACHE route, RTF_ANYCAST is set based on rt6i_dst. Also, rt6i_gateway is always set to the nexthop while the nexthop could be a gateway or the rt6i_dst.addr. After removing the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src dependency in the last patch, we also need to stop the caller from depending on rt6i_gateway and RTF_ANYCAST.

This patch removes the assumptions that the returned rt is always a RTF_CACHE entry with the rt6i_dst and rt6i_src containing the destination and source address. The dst and src can be recovered from the calling site. We may consider to rename (rt6i_dst, rt6i_src) to (rt6i_key_dst, rt6i_key_src) later.

This patch changes the ipv6_select_ident() signature to return a fragment id instead of taking a whole frag_hdr as a param to only set the frag_hdr->identification. It also cleans up ip6_fragment() to obtain the fragment id at the beginning instead of using multiple "if" later to check fragment id has been generated or not.

This patch implements sendpage support for AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM sockets. This is also required for a complete splice implementation. The implementation is a bit tricky because we append to already existing skbs and so have to hold unix_sk->readlock to protect the reading side from either advancing UNIXCB.consumed or freeing the skb at the socket receive tail.

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== mlx4: Enable single ported VFs over IB ports This series further enhances the support for mlx4 single ported VFs introduced in 3.15 to work over IB ports too. Just as quick reminder, the ConnectX3 device family exposes one PCI device which serves both ports. This can be non-optimal under virtualization schemes where the admin would like the VF to expose one interface to the VM, etc. Since all the VF interaction with the firmware passes through the PF driver, we can emulate to the VF they have one port, and further create a set of the VFs which act on port1 of the device and another set which acts on port2. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Some VF drivers flow set the schedule queue in the QP context but without setting none of OPTPAR_SCHED_QUEUE or OPTPAR_PRIMARY_ADDR_PATH. To allow for such non-modified drivers to function as single ported IB VFs, we must adjust the schedule queue port whenever being set, e.g as currently done for single ported Eth VFs.

As part of enabling single ported VFs over IB ports we need to handle some of the flows for generting EQ events for VFs which don't come into play under Eth ports. This mainly includes port management events derived from changes of the phyiscal port (lid change, client re-register, down/up, etc), VF pkey table changes and VF guid changes initiated by the IB driver. (1) make sure that events are generated only for VFs sitting on the relevant physical port (under the ALL_SLAVES flow). (2) before generating the event, convert from physical (one or two) to VF port (always equals one).

When multiplexling a MAD sent from VF, we should convert the port used by the guest to send the packet to the actual physical port which will be used to transmit the packet, before building the relevant address-handle (AH). This is needed under VPI for single ported VFs, since the code that builds the AH (mlx4_ib_query_ah()) makes decisions based on the input port. If we use the port number provided by the guest, it might have different protocol vs. the one this packat has to go from, and hence the result could be wrong. So far, the conversion was done after the AH was built and it worked for single ported Eth VFs which were not enabled under VPI. When adding support for single ported IB VFs and VPI, we hit that.

Single port VFs always provide port = 1 (even if the actual physical port used is port 2). As such, we need to convert the port provided by the VF to the physical port before calling into the firmware. It turns out that the Linux mlx4 VF RoCE driver maintains a copy of the GID table and hence this change became critical only for single ported IB VFs, but it could be needed for other RoCE VF drivers too.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== pktgen: cleanups and introducing new samples/pktgen scripts v3: - Aborted v2 send due it was not generating diff stat (this is a bug in stg-mail, if not in the root directory) v2: address nitpicks from Cong Wang - Remove useless cat's, but keep them for old pgset() - Comment on: Due to pgctrl, cannot use exit code $? from grep - Use arithmetic compare in pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh This patchset is focused on making pktgen easier to use and better documented. It contains a number of documentation updates and minor changes to pktgen. The major contribution is introduction of common helper function for sample scripts. Instead of the old pgset() function, three new shell functions for configuring the different components of pktgen are introduced: pg_ctrl(), pg_thread() and pg_set(). The new functions correspond to pktgens different components. * pg_ctrl() control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl) * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices * pg_set() control setup of individual devices Helpers also provide consistent parameter parsing across the sample scripts.

This script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh is a benchmark script, which can be used for benchmarking part of the network stack. This can be used for performance improving or catching regression in that area. The script is developed for benchmarking ingress qdisc path, original idea by Alexei Starovoitov. This script don't really need any hardware. This is achieved via the recently introduced stack inject feature "xmit_mode netif_receive".

Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs. Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many kernel threads to activate. Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU, which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the kernel thread.

Preparing for removing existing samples/pktgen/ scripts, and replacing these with easier to use samples. This commit provides two helper shell files, that can be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh" and "parameters.sh". The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter parsing across the sample scripts. Usage example is printed on errors. The functions.sh file provides, three new shell functions for configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(), pg_thread() and pg_set(). A slightly improved version of the old pgset() function is also provided for backwards compat. The new functions correspond to pktgens different components. * pg_ctrl() control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl) * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices * pg_set() control setup of individual devices These changes are borrowed from: https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/tree/master/pktgenSigned-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Giving /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl an invalid command just returns shell success and prints a warning in dmesg. This is not very useful for shell scripting, as it can only detect the error by parsing dmesg. Instead return -EINVAL when the command is unknown, as this provides userspace shell scripting a way of detecting this. Also bump version tag to 2.75, because (1) reading /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl output this version number which would allow to detect this small semantic change, and (2) because the pktgen version tag have not been updated since 2010.
