      ====================
      Control action percpu counters allocation by netlink flag
      
      Currently, significant fraction of CPU time during TC filter allocation
      is spent in percpu allocator. Moreover, percpu allocator is protected
      with single global mutex which negates any potential to improve its
      performance by means of recent developments in TC filter update API that
      removed rtnl lock for some Qdiscs and classifiers. In order to
      significantly improve filter update rate and reduce memory usage we
      would like to allow users to skip percpu counters allocation for
      specific action if they don't expect high traffic rate hitting the
      action, which is a reasonable expectation for hardware-offloaded setup.
      In that case any potential gains to software fast-path performance
      gained by usage of percpu-allocated counters compared to regular integer
      counters protected by spinlock are not important, but amount of
      additional CPU and memory consumed by them is significant.
      
      In order to allow configuring action counters allocation type at
      runtime, implement following changes:
      
      - Implement helper functions to update the action counters and use them
        in affected actions instead of updating counters directly. This steps
        abstracts actions implementation from counter types that are being
        used for particular action instance at runtime.
      
      - Modify the new helpers to use percpu counters if they were allocated
        during action initialization and use regular counters otherwise.
      
      - Extend action UAPI TCA_ACT space with TCA_ACT_FLAGS field. Add
        TCA_ACT_FLAGS_NO_PERCPU_STATS action flag and update
        hardware-offloaded actions to not allocate percpu counters when the
        flag is set.
      
      With this changes users that prefer action update slow-path speed over
      software fast-path speed can dynamically request actions to skip percpu
      counters allocation without affecting other users.
      
      Now, lets look at actual performance gains provided by this change.
      Simple test is used to measure insertion rate - iproute2 TC is executed
      in parallel by xargs in batch mode, its total execution time is measured
      by shell builtin "time" command. The command runs 20 concurrent tc
      instances, each with its own batch file with 100k rules:
      
      $ time ls add* | xargs -n 1 -P 20 sudo tc -b
      
      Two main rule profiles are tested. First is simple L2 flower classifier
      with single gact drop action. The configuration is chosen as worst case
      scenario because with single-action rules pressure on percpu allocator
      is minimized. Example rule:
      
      filter add dev ens1f0 protocol ip ingress prio 1 handle 1 flower skip_hw
          src_mac e4:11:0:0:0:0 dst_mac e4:12:0:0:0:0 action drop
      
      Second profile is typical real-world scenario that uses flower
      classifier with some L2-4 fields and two actions (tunnel_key+mirred).
      Example rule:
      
      filter add dev ens1f0_0 protocol ip ingress prio 1 handle 1 flower
          skip_hw src_mac e4:11:0:0:0:0 dst_mac e4:12:0:0:0:0 src_ip
          192.168.111.1 dst_ip 192.168.111.2 ip_proto udp dst_port 1 src_port
          1 action tunnel_key set id 1 src_ip 2.2.2.2 dst_ip 2.2.2.3 dst_port
          4789 action mirred egress redirect dev vxlan1
      
       Profile           |        percpu |     no_percpu | X improvement
                         | (k rules/sec) | (k rules/sec) |
      -------------------+---------------+---------------+---------------
       Gact drop         |           203 |           259 |          1.28
       tunnel_key+mirred |            92 |           204 |          2.22
      
      For simple drop action removing percpu allocation leads to ~25%
      insertion rate improvement. Perf profiles highlights the bottlenecks.

      Here bottleneck is clearly in pcpu_alloc() function that takes more than
      half CPU time, which is mostly wasted busy-waiting for internal percpu
      allocator global lock.

      The gact actions (like all other actions types) are inserted in single
      idr instance protected by global (per namespace) lock that becomes new
      bottleneck with such simple rule profile and prevents achieving 2x+
      performance increase that can be expected by looking at profiling data
      for insertion action with percpu counter.

      With percpu allocation removed insertion rate is increased by ~120%.
      Such rule profile scales much better than simple single action because
      both types of actions were competing for single lock in percpu
      allocator, but not for action idr lock, which is per-action. Note that
      percpu allocator is still used by dst_cache in tunnel_key actions and
      consumes 4.68% CPU time. Dst_cache seems like good opportunity for
      further insertion rate optimization but is not addressed by this change.
      
      Another improvement provided by this change is significantly reduced
      memory usage. The test is implemented by sampling "used memory" value
      from "vmstat -s" command output. Following table includes memory usage
      measurements for same two configurations that were used for measuring
      insertion rate:
      
       Profile           | Mem per rule | Mem per rule no_percpu | Less memory used
                         |         (KB) |                   (KB) |             (KB)
      -------------------+--------------+------------------------+------------------
       Gact drop         |         3.91 |                   2.51 |              1.4
       tunnel_key+mirred |         6.73 |                   3.91 |              2.8
      
      Results indicate that memory usage of percpu allocator per action is
      ~1.4 KB. Note that any measurements of percpu allocator memory usage is
      inherently tied to particular setup since memory usage is linear to
      number of cores in system. It is to be expected that on current top of
      the line servers percpu allocator memory usage will be 2-5x more than on
      24 CPUs setup that was used for testing.

      net: sched: don't expose action qstats to skb_tc_reinsert() · ef816f3c
      Vlad Buslov authored
      Previous commit introduced helper function for updating qstats and
      refactored set of actions to use the helpers, instead of modifying qstats
      directly. However, one of the affected action exposes its qstats to
      skb_tc_reinsert(), which then modifies it.
      
      Refactor skb_tc_reinsert() to return integer error code and don't increment
      overlimit qstats in case of error, and use the returned error code in
      tcf_mirred_act() to manually increment the overlimit counter with new
      helper function.

      Extract common code that increments cpu_qstats counters into standalone act
      API functions. Change hardware offloaded actions that use percpu counter
      allocation to use the new functions instead of accessing cpu_qstats
      directly.

      net: sched: extract common action counters update code into function · c8ecebd0
      Vlad Buslov authored
      Currently, all implementations of tc_action_ops->stats_update() callback
      have almost exactly the same implementation of counters update
      code (besides gact which also updates drop counter). In order to simplify
      support for using both percpu-allocated and regular action counters
      depending on run-time flag in following patches, extract action counters
      update code into standalone function in act API.

      ====================
      1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-10-29
      
      This series contains updates to e1000e, igb, ixgbe and i40e drivers.
      
      Sasha adds support for Intel client platforms Comet Lake and Tiger Lake
      to the e1000e driver.  Also adds a fix for a compiler warning that was
      recently introduced, when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is not defined, so wrap the
      code that requires this kernel configuration to be defined.
      
      Alex fixes a potential race condition between network configuration and
      power management for e1000e, which is similar to a past issue in the igb
      driver.  Also provided a bit of code cleanup since the driver no longer
      checks for __E1000_DOWN.
      
      Josh Hunt adds UDP segmentation offload support for igb, ixgbe and i40e.

      ====================
      ICMP flow improvements
      
      This series improves the flow inspector handling of ICMP packets:
      The first two patches just add some comments in the code which would have saved
      me a few minutes of time, and refactor a piece of code.
      The third one adds to the flow inspector the capability to extract the
      Identifier field, if present, so echo requests and replies are classified
      as part of the same flow.
      The fourth patch uses the function introduced earlier to the bonding driver,
      so echo replies can be balanced across bonding slaves.
      
      v1 -> v2:
       - remove unused struct members
       - add an helper to check for the Id field
       - use a local flow_dissector_key in the bonding to avoid
         changing behaviour of the flow dissector

      bonding: balance ICMP echoes in layer3+4 mode · 58deb77c
      Matteo Croce authored
      The bonding uses the L4 ports to balance flows between slaves. As the ICMP
      protocol has no ports, those packets are sent all to the same device:
      
          # tcpdump -qltnni veth0 ip |sed 's/^/0: /' &
          # tcpdump -qltnni veth1 ip |sed 's/^/1: /' &
          # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2
          1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 315, seq 1, length 64
          1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 315, seq 1, length 64
          # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2
          1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 316, seq 1, length 64
          1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 316, seq 1, length 64
          # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2
          1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 317, seq 1, length 64
          1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 317, seq 1, length 64
      
      But some ICMP packets have an Identifier field which is
      used to match packets within sessions, let's use this value in the hash
      function to balance these packets between bond slaves:
      
          # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2
          0: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 303, seq 1, length 64
          0: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 303, seq 1, length 64
          # ping -qc1 192.168.0.2
          1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 304, seq 1, length 64
          1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 304, seq 1, length 64
      
      Aso, let's use a flow_dissector_key which defines FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_ICMP,
      so we can balance pings encapsulated in a tunnel when using mode encap3+4:
      
          # ping -q 192.168.1.2 -c1
          0: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 585, seq 1, length 64
          0: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 585, seq 1, length 64
          # ping -q 192.168.1.2 -c1
          1: IP 192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 586, seq 1, length 64
          1: IP 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.1: GREv0, length 102: IP 192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 586, seq 1, length 64

      flow_dissector: extract more ICMP information · 5dec597e
      Matteo Croce authored
      The ICMP flow dissector currently parses only the Type and Code fields.
      Some ICMP packets (echo, timestamp) have a 16 bit Identifier field which
      is used to correlate packets.
      Add such field in flow_dissector_key_icmp and replace skb_flow_get_be16()
      with a more complex function which populate this field.
