      bnx2x: Don't flush multicast MACs · c7b7b483
      Yuval Mintz authored 
      When ndo_set_rx_mode() is called for bnx2x, as part of process of
configuring the new MAC address filters [both unicast & multicast]
driver begins by flushing the existing configuration and then iterating
over the network device's list of addresses and configures those instead.

This has the side-effect of creating a short gap where traffic wouldn't
be properly classified, as no filters are configured in HW.
While for unicasts this is rather insignificant [as unicast MACs don't
frequently change while interface is actually running],
for multicast traffic it does pose an issue as there are multicast-based
networks where new multicast groups would constantly be removed and
added.

This patch tries to remedy this [at least for the newer adapters] -
Instead of flushing & reconfiguring all existing multicast filters,
the driver would instead create the approximate hash match that would
result from the required filters. It would then compare it against the
currently configured approximate hash match, and only add and remove the
delta between those.

====================
rxrpc: Add better client conn management strategy

These two patches add a better client connection management strategy.  They
need to be applied on top of the just-posted fixes.

 (1) Duplicate the connection list and separate out procfs iteration from
     garbage collection.  This is necessary for the next patch as with that
     client connections no longer appear on a single list and may not
     appear on a list at all - and really don't want to be exposed to the
     old garbage collector.

     (Note that client conns aren't left dangling, they're also in a tree
     rooted in the local endpoint so that they can be found by a user
     wanting to make a new client call.  Service conns do not appear in
     this tree.)

 (2) Implement a better lifetime management and garbage collection strategy
     for client connections.

     In this, a client connection can be in one of five cache states
     (inactive, waiting, active, culled and idle).  Limits are set on the
     number of client conns that may be active at any one time and makes
     users wait if they want to start a new call when there isn't capacity
     available.

     To make capacity available, active and idle connections can be culled,
     after a short delay (to allow for retransmission).  The delay is
     reduced if the capacity exceeds a tunable threshold.

     If there is spare capacity, client conns are permitted to hang around
     a fair bit longer (tunable) so as to allow reuse of negotiated
     security contexts.

     After this patch, the client conn strategy is separate from that of
     service conns (which continues to use the old code for the moment).

     This difference in strategy is because the client side retains control
     over when it allows a connection to become active, whereas the service
     side has no control over when it sees a new connection or a new call
     on an old connection.

====================
rxrpc: More fixes

Here are a couple of fix patches:

 (1) Fix the conn-based retransmission patch posted yesterday.  This breaks
     if it actually has to retransmit.  However, it seems the likelihood of
     this happening is really low, despite the server I'm testing against
     being located >3000 miles away, and sometime of the time it's handled
     in the call background processor before we manage to disconnect the
     call - hence why I didn't spot it.

 (2) /proc/net/rxrpc_calls can cause a crash it accessed whilst a call is
     being torn down.  The window of opportunity is pretty small, however,
     as calls don't stay in this state for long.

====================
mlxsw: Offload FDB learning configuration

Ido says:
This patchset addresses two long standing issues in the mlxsw driver
concerning FDB learning.

Patch 1 limits the number of FDB records processed by the driver in a
single session. This is useful in situations in which many new records
need to be processed, thereby causing the RTNL mutex to be held for
long periods of time.

Patches 2-6 offload the learning configuration (on / off) of bridge
ports to the device instead of having the driver decide whether a
record needs to be learned or not.

The last patch is fallout and removes configuration no longer necessary
after the first patches are applied.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Don't set learning when creating vPorts · 0f7a4d8a
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Before commit 99724c18 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Introduce support for
router interfaces") we used to assign vFIDs to the created vPorts. Since
these vPorts were used for slow path traffic we had to disable learning
for them, as it doesn't make sense to have it enabled.

This is no longer the case and now vPorts are either used for router
interfaces (for which learning is disabled by the firmware) or bridge
ports (for which learning is explicitly enabled by the driver).

Therefore, we can remove the learning configuration upon vPort creation.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Offload learning to the switch ASIC · 89b548f0
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Up until now we simply stored the learning configuration of a bridge
port in the driver and decided whether to learn a new FDB record based
on this value.

However, this is sub-optimal in cases where learning is disabled on the
bridge port, as the device repeatedly generates learning notifications
for the same record.

Instead, offload the learning configuration to the device, thereby
preventing it from generating notifications when learning is disabled.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Configure learning for VLAN-aware bridge port · 584d73df
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      We are going to prevent the device from generating learning
notifications for a port that was configured with learning disabled.

Since learning configuration is done per {Port, VID} we need to apply
the port's learning configuration for any VID that is added to the
bridge port's VLAN filter list.

When a VID is added to the VLAN filter list of a VLAN-aware bridge port,
configure the {Port, VID} learning status according to the port's
configuration. When the VID is removed, disable learning for the {Port,
VID}.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Limit number of FDB records per learning session · 1803e0fb
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Up until now a learning session ended whenever the number of queried
records was zero. This turned out to be problematic in situations where
a large number of MACs (48K) had to be processed by the switch driver,
as RTNL mutex is held during the learning session.

Instead, limit the number of FDB records that can be processed in a
session to 64. This means that every time the device is queried for
learning notifications (currently, every 100ms), up to 64 records will
be processed by the switch driver.

      rxrpc: Improve management and caching of client connection objects · 45025bce
      David Howells authored 
      Improve the management and caching of client rxrpc connection objects.
From this point, client connections will be managed separately from service
connections because AF_RXRPC controls the creation and re-use of client
connections but doesn't have that luxury with service connections.

Further, there will be limits on the numbers of client connections that may
be live on a machine.  No direct restriction will be placed on the number
of client calls, excepting that each client connection can support a
maximum of four concurrent calls.

Note that, for a number of reasons, we don't want to simply discard a
client connection as soon as the last call is apparently finished:

 (1) Security is negotiated per-connection and the context is then shared
     between all calls on that connection.  The context can be negotiated
     again if the connection lapses, but that involves holding up calls
     whilst at least two packets are exchanged and various crypto bits are
     performed - so we'd ideally like to cache it for a little while at
     least.

 (2) If a packet goes astray, we will need to retransmit a final ACK or
     ABORT packet.  To make this work, we need to keep around the
     connection details for a little while.

 (3) The locally held structures represent some amount of setup time, to be
     weighed against their occupation of memory when idle.


To this end, the client connection cache is managed by a state machine on
each connection.  There are five states:

 (1) INACTIVE - The connection is not held in any list and may not have
     been exposed to the world.  If it has been previously exposed, it was
     discarded from the idle list after expiring.

 (2) WAITING - The connection is waiting for the number of client conns to
     drop below the maximum capacity.  Calls may be in progress upon it
     from when it was active and got culled.

     The connection is on the rxrpc_waiting_client_conns list which is kept
     in to-be-granted order.  Culled conns with waiters go to the back of
     the queue just like new conns.

 (3) ACTIVE - The connection has at least one call in progress upon it, it
     may freely grant available channels to new calls and calls may be
     waiting on it for channels to become available.

     The connection is on the rxrpc_active_client_conns list which is kept
     in activation order for culling purposes.

 (4) CULLED - The connection got summarily culled to try and free up
     capacity.  Calls currently in progress on the connection are allowed
     to continue, but new calls will have to wait.  There can be no waiters
     in this state - the conn would have to go to the WAITING state
     instead.

 (5) IDLE - The connection has no calls in progress upon it and must have
     been exposed to the world (ie. the EXPOSED flag must be set).  When it
     expires, the EXPOSED flag is cleared and the connection transitions to
     the INACTIVE state.

     The connection is on the rxrpc_idle_client_conns list which is kept in
     order of how soon they'll expire.

A connection in the ACTIVE or CULLED state must have at least one active
call upon it; if in the WAITING state it may have active calls upon it;
other states may not have active calls.

As long as a connection remains active and doesn't get culled, it may
continue to process calls - even if there are connections on the wait
queue.  This simplifies things a bit and reduces the amount of checking we
need do.


There are a couple flags of relevance to the cache:

 (1) EXPOSED - The connection ID got exposed to the world.  If this flag is
     set, an extra ref is added to the connection preventing it from being
     reaped when it has no calls outstanding.  This flag is cleared and the
     ref dropped when a conn is discarded from the idle list.

 (2) DONT_REUSE - The connection should be discarded as soon as possible and
     should not be reused.


This commit also provides a number of new settings:

 (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/max_client_conns

     The maximum number of live client connections.  Above this number, new
     connections get added to the wait list and must wait for an active
     conn to be culled.  Culled connections can be reused, but they will go
     to the back of the wait list and have to wait.

 (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/reap_client_conns

     If the number of desired connections exceeds the maximum above, the
     active connection list will be culled until there are only this many
     left in it.

 (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_expiry

     The normal expiry time for a client connection, provided there are
     fewer than reap_client_conns of them around.

 (*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_fast_expiry

     The expedited expiry time, used when there are more than
     reap_client_conns of them around.


Note that I combined the Tx wait queue with the channel grant wait queue to
save space as only one of these should be in use at once.

Note also that, for the moment, the service connection cache still uses the
old connection management code.

      rxrpc: Dup the main conn list for the proc interface · 4d028b2c
      David Howells authored 
      The main connection list is used for two independent purposes: primarily it
is used to find connections to reap and secondarily it is used to list
connections in procfs.

Split the procfs list out from the reap list.  This allows us to stop using
the reap list for client connections when they acquire a separate
management strategy from service collections.

The client connections will not be on a management single list, and sometimes
won't be on a management list at all.  This doesn't leave them floating,
however, as they will also be on an rb-tree rooted on the socket so that the
socket can find them to dispatch calls.
