      ipv6: give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev · e5f80fcf
      Eric Dumazet authored
      IPv6 addrconf notifiers wants the loopback device to
      be the last device being dismantled at netns deletion.
      
      This caused many limitations and work arounds.
      
      Back in linux-5.3, Mahesh added a per host blackhole_netdev
      that can be used whenever we need to make sure objects no longer
      refer to a disappearing device.
      
      If we attach to blackhole_netdev an ip6_ptr (allocate an idev),
      then we can use this special device (which is never freed)
      in place of the loopback_dev (which can be freed).
      
      This will permit improvements in netdev_run_todo() and other parts
      of the stack where had steps to make sure loopback_dev was
      the last device to disappear.

      The mv88e6352, mv88e6240 and mv88e6176  have a serdes interface. This patch
      allows to configure the output swing to a desired value in the
      phy-handle of the port. The value which is peak to peak has to be
      specified in microvolts. As the chips only supports eight dedicated
      values we return EINVAL if the value in the DTS does not match one of
      these values.

      dt-bindings: phy: Add `tx-p2p-microvolt` property binding · 066c4b6b
      Marek Behún authored
      Common PHYs and network PCSes often have the possibility to specify
      peak-to-peak voltage on the differential pair - the default voltage
      sometimes needs to be changed for a particular board.
      
      Add properties `tx-p2p-microvolt` and `tx-p2p-microvolt-names` for this
      purpose. The second property is needed to specify the mode for the
      corresponding voltage in the `tx-p2p-microvolt` property, if the voltage
      is to be used only for speficic mode. More voltage-mode pairs can be
      specified.
      
      Example usage with only one voltage (it will be used for all supported
      PHY modes, the `tx-p2p-microvolt-names` property is not needed in this
      case):
      
        tx-p2p-microvolt = <915000>;
      
      Example usage with voltages for multiple modes:
      
        tx-p2p-microvolt = <915000>, <1100000>, <1200000>;
        tx-p2p-microvolt-names = "2500base-x", "usb", "pcie";
      
      Add these properties into a separate file phy/transmit-amplitude.yaml,
      which should be referenced by any binding that uses it.

      ipv6: Reject routes configurations that specify dsfield (tos) · b9605161
      Guillaume Nault authored
      The ->rtm_tos option is normally used to route packets based on both
      the destination address and the DS field. However it's ignored for
      IPv6 routes. Setting ->rtm_tos for IPv6 is thus invalid as the route
      is going to work only on the destination address anyway, so it won't
      behave as specified.

      ====================
      net/smc: Optimizing performance in short-lived scenarios
      
      This patch set aims to optimizing performance of SMC in short-lived
      links scenarios, which is quite unsatisfactory right now.
      
      In our benchmark, we test it with follow scripts:
      
      ./wrk -c 10000 -t 4 -H 'Connection: Close' -d 20 http://smc-server
      
      Current performance figures like that:
      
      Running 20s test @ http://11.213.45.6
        4 threads and 10000 connections
        4956 requests in 20.06s, 3.24MB read
        Socket errors: connect 0, read 0, write 672, timeout 0
      Requests/sec:    247.07
      Transfer/sec:    165.28KB
      
      There are many reasons for this phenomenon, this patch set doesn't
      solve it all though, but it can be well alleviated with it in.
      
      Patch 1/5  (Make smc_tcp_listen_work() independent) :
      
      Separate smc_tcp_listen_work() from smc_listen_work(), make them
      independent of each other, the busy SMC handshake can not affect new TCP
      connections visit any more. Avoid discarding a large number of TCP
      connections after being overstock, which is undoubtedly raise the
      connection establishment time.
      
      Patch 2/5 (Limit SMC backlog connections):
      
      Since patch 1 has separated smc_tcp_listen_work() from
      smc_listen_work(), an unrestricted TCP accept have come into being. This
      patch try to put a limit on SMC backlog connections refers to
      implementation of TCP.
      
      Patch 3/5 (Limit SMC visits when handshake workqueue congested):
      
      Considering the complexity of SMC handshake right now, in short-lived
      links scenarios, this may not be the main scenario of SMC though, it's
      performance is still quite poor. This patch try to provide constraint on
      SMC handshake when handshake workqueue congested, which is the sign of
      SMC handshake stacking in our opinion.
      
      Patch 4/5 (Dynamic control handshake limitation by socket options)
      
      This patch allow applications dynamically control the ability of SMC
      handshake limitation. Since SMC don't support set SMC socket option
      before,
      this patch also have to support SMC's owns socket options.
      
      Patch 5/5 (Add global configure for handshake limitation by netlink)
      
      This patch provides a way to get benefit of handshake limitation
      without
      modifying any code for applications, which is quite useful for most
      existing applications.
      
      After this patch set, performance figures like that:
      
      Running 20s test @ http://11.213.45.6
        4 threads and 10000 connections
        693253 requests in 20.10s, 452.88MB read
      Requests/sec:  34488.13
      Transfer/sec:     22.53MB
      
      That's a quite well performance improvement, about to 6 to 7 times in my
      environment.

      net/smc: Dynamic control handshake limitation by socket options · a6a6fe27
      D. Wythe authored
      This patch aims to add dynamic control for SMC handshake limitation for
      every smc sockets, in production environment, it is possible for the
      same applications to handle different service types, and may have
      different opinion on SMC handshake limitation.
      
      This patch try socket options to complete it, since we don't have socket
      option level for SMC yet, which requires us to implement it at the same
      time.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      - add new socket option level: SOL_SMC.
      - add new SMC socket option: SMC_LIMIT_HS.
      - provide getter/setter for SMC socket options.

      net/smc: Limit SMC visits when handshake workqueue congested · 48b6190a
      D. Wythe authored
      This patch intends to provide a mechanism to put constraint on SMC
      connections visit according to the pressure of SMC handshake process.
      At present, frequent visits will cause the incoming connections to be
      backlogged in SMC handshake queue, raise the connections established
      time. Which is quite unacceptable for those applications who base on
      short lived connections.
      
      There are two ways to implement this mechanism:
      
      1. Put limitation after TCP established.
      2. Put limitation before TCP established.
      
      In the first way, we need to wait and receive CLC messages that the
      client will potentially send, and then actively reply with a decline
      message, in a sense, which is also a sort of SMC handshake, affect the
      connections established time on its way.
      
      In the second way, the only problem is that we need to inject SMC logic
      into TCP when it is about to reply the incoming SYN, since we already do
      that, it's seems not a problem anymore. And advantage is obvious, few
      additional processes are required to complete the constraint.
      
      This patch use the second way. After this patch, connections who beyond
      constraint will not informed any SMC indication, and SMC will not be
      involved in any of its subsequent processes.

      net/smc: Limit backlog connections · 8270d9c2
      D. Wythe authored
      Current implementation does not handling backlog semantics, one
      potential risk is that server will be flooded by infinite amount
      connections, even if client was SMC-incapable.
      
      This patch works to put a limit on backlog connections, referring to the
      TCP implementation, we divides SMC connections into two categories:
      
      1. Half SMC connection, which includes all TCP established while SMC not
      connections.
      
      2. Full SMC connection, which includes all SMC established connections.
      
      For half SMC connection, since all half SMC connections starts with TCP
      established, we can achieve our goal by put a limit before TCP
      established. Refer to the implementation of TCP, this limits will based
      on not only the half SMC connections but also the full connections,
      which is also a constraint on full SMC connections.
      
      For full SMC connections, although we know exactly where it starts, it's
      quite hard to put a limit before it. The easiest way is to block wait
      before receive SMC confirm CLC message, while it's under protection by
      smc_server_lgr_pending, a global lock, which leads this limit to the
      entire host instead of a single listen socket. Another way is to drop
      the full connections, but considering the cast of SMC connections, we
      prefer to keep full SMC connections.
      
      Even so, the limits of full SMC connections still exists, see commits
      about half SMC connection below.
      
      After this patch, the limits of backend connection shows like:
      
      For SMC:
      
      1. Client with SMC-capability can makes 2 * backlog full SMC connections
         or 1 * backlog half SMC connections and 1 * backlog full SMC
         connections at most.
      
      2. Client without SMC-capability can only makes 1 * backlog half TCP
         connections and 1 * backlog full TCP connections.

      net/smc: Make smc_tcp_listen_work() independent · 3079e342
      D. Wythe authored
      In multithread and 10K connections benchmark, the backend TCP connection
      established very slowly, and lots of TCP connections stay in SYN_SENT
      state.
      
      Client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 4 http://server
      
      the netstate of server host shows like:
          145042 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed
          145042 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped
      
      One reason of this issue is that, since the smc_tcp_listen_work() shared
      the same workqueue (smc_hs_wq) with smc_listen_work(), while the
      smc_listen_work() do blocking wait for smc connection established. Once
      the workqueue became congested, it's will block the accept() from TCP
      listen.
      
      This patch creates a independent workqueue(smc_tcp_ls_wq) for
      smc_tcp_listen_work(), separate it from smc_listen_work(), which is
      quite acceptable considering that smc_tcp_listen_work() runs very fast.
