Ingress qdisc has no other purpose than calling into tc_classify() that executes attached classifier(s) and action(s). It has a 1:1 relationship to dev->ingress_queue. After having commit 087c1a60 ("net: sched: run ingress qdisc without locks") removed the central ingress lock, one major contention point is gone. The extra indirection layers however, are not necessary for calling into ingress qdisc. pktgen calling locally into netif_receive_skb() with a dummy u32, single CPU result on a Supermicro X10SLM-F, Xeon E3-1240: before ~21,1 Mpps, after patch ~22,9 Mpps. We can redirect the private classifier list to the netdev directly, without changing any classifier API bits (!) and execute on that from handle_ing() side. The __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATE test can be removed, ingress qdisc doesn't have a queue and thus dev_deactivate_queue() is also not applicable, ingress_cl_list provides similar behaviour. In other words, ingress qdisc acts like TCQ_F_BUILTIN qdisc. One next possible step is the removal of the dev's ingress (dummy) netdev_queue, and to only have the list member in the netdevice itself. Note, the filter chain is RCU protected and individual filter elements are being kfree'd by sched subsystem after RCU grace period. RCU read lock is being held by __netif_receive_skb_core().

Jonathan Toppins says: ==================== add netlink support for new lacp bonding parameters This is a resubmit of Mahesh's last 3 bonding patches from this series (http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=142432864626179&w=2) with one additional kernel patch which adds the netlink bits. I have noted any modifications I did to the original patches just above my signoff line. Patch 5 is the iproute2 support for these bonding options. All patches were coded against the net-next branch of their respective projects. v2: * rebased * only send these new parameters via netlink when bond is in mode 4 * fixed ad_actor_sys_prio to be 0xFFFF by default even when the bond is initially created in mode 0 and switched to mode 4 v3: * reverted changes to bond_option_ad_actor_system_set() from v1 in Mahesh's patch "bonding: Allow userspace to set actors' macaddr in an AD-system." Instead implementing all setting in the option specific set function as Nik suggested. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The port key has three components - user-key, speed-part, and duplex-part. The LSBit is for the duplex-part, next 5 bits are for the speed while the remaining 10 bits are the user defined key bits. Get these 10 bits from the user-space (through the SysFs interface) and use it to form the admin port-key. Allowed range for the user-key is 0 - 1023 (10 bits). If it is not provided then use zero for the user-key-bits (default). It can set using following example code - # modprobe bonding mode=4 # usr_port_key=$(( RANDOM & 0x3FF )) # echo $usr_port_key > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_user_port_key # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves ... # ip link set bond0 up Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> [jt: * fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch * fixed up context from change in ad_actor_sys_prio patch] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In an AD system, the communication between actor and partner is the business between these two entities. In the current setup anyone on the same L2 can "guess" the LACPDU contents and then possibly send the spoofed LACPDUs and trick the partner causing connectivity issues for the AD system. This patch allows to use a random mac-address obscuring it's identity making it harder for someone in the L2 is do the same thing. This patch allows user-space to choose the mac-address for the AD-system. This mac-address can not be NULL or a Multicast. If the mac-address is set from user-space; kernel will honor it and will not overwrite it. In the absence (value from user space); the logic will default to using the masters' mac as the mac-address for the AD-system. It can be set using example code below - # modprobe bonding mode=4 # sys_mac_addr=$(printf '%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' \ $(( (RANDOM & 0xFE) | 0x02 )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF ))) # echo $sys_mac_addr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_system # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves ... # ip link set bond0 up Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> [jt: fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== Cleanup the kernel sockets. Right now the situtation for allocating kernel sockets is a mess. - sock_create_kern does not take a namespace parameter. - kernel sockets must not reference count a network namespace and keep it alive or else we will have a reference counting loop. - The way we avoid the reference counting loop with sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel are major hacks. This patchset addresses this mess by fixing sock_create_kern to do everything necessary to create a kernel socket. None of the current users of kernel sockets need the network namespace reference counted. Either kernel sockets are network namespace aware (and using the current hacks) or kernel sockets are limited to the initial network namespace in which case it does not matter. This patchset starts by addressing tun which should be using normal userspace sockets like macvtap. Then sock_create_kern is fixed to take a network namespace. Then the in kernel status of sockets are passed through to sk_alloc. Then sk_alloc is fixed to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets. Then the callers of sock_create_kern are fixed up to stop using hacks. Then netlink which uses it's own flavor of sock_create_kern is fixed. Finally the hacks that are sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel are removed. When it is all done the code is easier to follow, easier to use, easier to maintain and shorter by about 70 lines. ==================== Reported-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that sk_alloc knows when a kernel socket is being allocated modify it to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets. Keep track of if a socket needs reference counting by adding a flag to struct sock called sk_net_refcnt. Update all of the callers of sock_create_kern to stop using sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel as those hacks are no longer needed, to avoid reference counting a kernel socket.

There is no need for tun to do the weird network namespace refcounting. The existing network namespace refcounting in tfile has almost exactly the same lifetime. So rewrite the code to use the struct sock network namespace refcounting and remove the unnecessary hand rolled network namespace refcounting and the unncesary tfile->net. This change allows the tun code to directly call sock_put bypassing sock_release and making SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED unnecessary. Remove the now unncessary tun_release so that if anything tries to use the sock_release code path the kernel will oops, and let us know about the bug. The macvtap code already uses it's internal socket this way. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For DCTCP or similar ECN based deployments on fabrics with shallow buffers, hosts are responsible for a good part of the buffering. This patch adds an optional ce_threshold to codel & fq_codel qdiscs, so that DCTCP can have feedback from queuing in the host. A DCTCP enabled egress port simply have a queue occupancy threshold above which ECT packets get CE mark. In codel language this translates to a sojourn time, so that one doesn't have to worry about bytes or bandwidth but delays. This makes the host an active participant in the health of the whole network. This also helps experimenting DCTCP in a setup without DCTCP compliant fabric. On following example, ce_threshold is set to 1ms, and we can see from 'ldelay xxx us' that TCP is not trying to go around the 5ms codel target. Queue has more capacity to absorb inelastic bursts (say from UDP traffic), as queues are maintained to an optimal level. lpaa23:~# ./tc -s -d qd sh dev eth1 qdisc mq 1: dev eth1 root Sent 87910654696 bytes 58065331 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 42961) backlog 3108242b 364p requeues 42961 qdisc codel 8063: dev eth1 parent 1:1 limit 1000p target 5.0ms ce_threshold 1.0ms interval 100.0ms Sent 7363778701 bytes 4863809 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 5503) rate 2348Mbit 193919pps backlog 255866b 46p requeues 5503 count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 1.0ms drop_next 0us maxpacket 68130 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0 ce_mark 72384 qdisc codel 8064: dev eth1 parent 1:2 limit 1000p target 5.0ms ce_threshold 1.0ms interval 100.0ms Sent 7636486190 bytes 5043942 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 5186) rate 2319Mbit 191538pps backlog 207418b 64p requeues 5186 count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 694us drop_next 0us maxpacket 68130 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0 ce_mark 69873 qdisc codel 8065: dev eth1 parent 1:3 limit 1000p target 5.0ms ce_threshold 1.0ms interval 100.0ms Sent 11569360142 bytes 7641602 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 5554) rate 3041Mbit 251096pps backlog 210446b 59p requeues 5554 count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 889us drop_next 0us maxpacket 68130 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0 ce_mark 37780 ...

Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().

Nicolas Dichtel says: ==================== netns: ease netlink use with a lot of netns This idea was informally discussed in Ottawa / netdev0.1. The goal is to ease the use/scalability of netns, from a userland point of view. Today, users need to open one netlink socket per family and per netns. Thus, when the number of netns inscreases (for example 5K or more), the number of sockets needed to manage them grows a lot. The goal of this series is to be able to monitor netlink events, for a specified family, for a set of netns, with only one netlink socket. For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data. Here is an example with a patched iproute2. vxlan10 is created in the current netns (netns0, nsid 0) and then moved to another netns (netns1, nsid 1): $ ip netns exec netns0 ip monitor all-nsid label [nsid 0][NSID]nsid 1 (iproute2 netns name: netns1) [nsid 0][NEIGH]??? lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00 REACHABLE,PERMANENT [nsid 0][LINK]5: vxlan10@NONE: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1450 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 92:33:17:e6:e7:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [nsid 0][LINK]Deleted 5: vxlan10@NONE: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1450 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 92:33:17:e6:e7:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [nsid 1][NSID]nsid 0 (iproute2 netns name: netns0) [nsid 1][LINK]5: vxlan10@NONE: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1450 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 92:33:17:e6:e7:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0 [nsid 1][ADDR]5: vxlan10 inet 192.168.0.249/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global vxlan10 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [nsid 1][ROUTE]local 192.168.0.249 dev vxlan10 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.249 [nsid 1][ROUTE]ff00::/8 dev vxlan10 table local metric 256 pref medium [nsid 1][ROUTE]2001:123::/64 dev vxlan10 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium [nsid 1][LINK]5: vxlan10@NONE: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default link/ether 92:33:17:e6:e7:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0 [nsid 1][ROUTE]broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev vxlan10 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.249 [nsid 1][ROUTE]192.168.0.0/24 dev vxlan10 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.249 [nsid 1][ROUTE]broadcast 192.168.0.0 dev vxlan10 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.249 [nsid 1][ROUTE]fe80::/64 dev vxlan10 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

More accurately, listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the netlink socket is opened. For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data. With this patch, a daemon needs only one socket to listen many netns. This is useful when the number of netns is high. Because 0 is a valid value for a nsid, the field nsid_is_set indicates if the field nsid is valid or not. skb->cb is initialized to 0 on skb allocation, thus we are sure that we will never send a nsid 0 by error to the userland.

Before this patch, nsid were protected by the rtnl lock. The goal of this patch is to be able to find a nsid without needing to hold the rtnl lock. The next patch will introduce a netlink socket option to listen to all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket is opened. Thus, it's important to call rtnl_net_notifyid() outside the spinlock, to avoid a recursive lock (nsid are notified via rtnl). This was the main reason of the previous patch.

Enable jumbo frame support for Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC. Update the NWCFG register and descriptor length masks accordingly. Jumbo max length register should be set according to support in SoC; it is set to 10240 for Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC.

Under tcp memory pressure, calling epoll_wait() in edge triggered mode after -EAGAIN, can result in an indefinite hang in epoll_wait(), even when there is sufficient memory available to continue making progress. The problem is that when __sk_mem_schedule() returns 0 under memory pressure, we do not set the SOCK_NOSPACE flag in the tcp write paths (tcp_sendmsg() or do_tcp_sendpages()). Then, since SOCK_NOSPACE is used to trigger wakeups when incoming acks create sufficient new space in the write queue, all outstanding packets are acked, but we never wake up with the the EPOLLOUT that we are expecting from epoll_wait(). This issue is currently limited to epoll() when used in edge trigger mode, since 'tcp_poll()', does in fact currently set SOCK_NOSPACE. This is sufficient for poll()/select() and epoll() in level trigger mode. However, in edge trigger mode, epoll() is relying on the write path to set SOCK_NOSPACE. EPOLL(7) says that in edge-trigger mode we can only call epoll_wait() after read/write return -EAGAIN. Thus, in the case of the socket write, we are relying on the fact that tcp_sendmsg()/network write paths are going to issue a wakeup for us at some point in the future when we get -EAGAIN. Normally, epoll() edge trigger works fine when we've exceeded the sk->sndbuf because in that case we do set SOCK_NOSPACE. However, when we return -EAGAIN from the write path b/c we are over the tcp memory limits and not b/c we are over the sndbuf, we are never going to get another wakeup. I can reproduce this issue, using SO_SNDBUF, since __sk_mem_schedule() will return 0, or failure more readily with SO_SNDBUF: 1) create socket and set SO_SNDBUF to N 2) add socket as edge trigger 3) write to socket and block in epoll on -EAGAIN 4) cause tcp mem pressure via: echo "<small val>" > net.ipv4.tcp_mem The fix here is simply to set SOCK_NOSPACE in sk_stream_wait_memory() when the socket is non-blocking. Note that SOCK_NOSPACE, in addition to waking up outstanding waiters is also used to expand the size of the sk->sndbuf. However, we will not expand it by setting it in this case because tcp_should_expand_sndbuf(), ensures that no expansion occurs when we are under tcp memory pressure. Note that we could still hang if sk->sk_wmem_queue is 0, when we get the -EAGAIN. In this case the SOCK_NOSPACE bit will not help, since we are waiting for and event that will never happen. I believe that this case is harder to hit (and did not hit in my testing), in that over the tcp 'soft' memory limits, we continue to guarantee a minimum write buffer size. Perhaps, we could return -ENOSPC in this case, or maybe we simply issue a wakeup in this case, such that we keep retrying the write. Note that this case is not specific to epoll() ET, but rather would affect blocking sockets as well. So I view this patch as bringing epoll() edge-trigger into sync with the current poll()/select()/epoll() level trigger and blocking sockets behavior.

Use device flag IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE to signal that the device supports changing the hardware address when the device is running. This allows eth_mac_addr() to change the mac address also when the network device's interface is open. This capability is required by certain applications, like bonding mode 6 (Adaptive Load Balancing). Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Handle TxFIFO underrun exceptions outside the fast path. A controller reset is more reliable in this exceptional case, as opposed to re-enabling on-the-fly the Tx DMA. As the controller reset is handled outside the fast path by the reset_gfar() workqueue handler, the locking scheme on the Tx path is significantly simplified. Because the Tx processing (xmit queues and tx napi) is disabled during controller reset, tstat access from xmit does not require locking. So the scope of the txlock on the processing path is now reduced to num_txbdfree, which is shared only between process context (xmit) and softirq (clean_tx_ring). As a result, the txlock must not guard against interrupt context, and the spin_lock_irqsave() from xmit can be replaced by spin_lock_bh(). Likewise, the locking has been downgraded for clean_tx_ring(). Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
