Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability. Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster. Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with 10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles considerably even above 10000. As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248 bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes.

The rmnet specific features to be configured here are aggregation and control commands. Patch 1 is a cleanup of return codes in the transmit path. Patch 2 removes some redundant ingress and egress macros. Patch 3 restricts the creation of rmnet dev to one dev per mux id for a given real dev. Patch 4 adds ethernet data path support. Patches 5-6 add support for configuring features on new and existing rmnet devices. v1->v2: The memory leak fixed as part of patch 1 is merged seperately as a896d94abd2c ("net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix leak on transmit failure").

This patch enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state to detect potential losses. Prior to this patch, since the sender uses PRR to determine the cwnd in CWR state, the combination of CWR+PRR plus tcp_tso_should_defer() could cause unnecessary stalls upon losses: PRR makes cwnd so gentle that tcp_tso_should_defer() defers sending wait for more ACKs. The ACKs may not come due to packet losses. Disallowing TLP when there is unused cwnd had the primary effect of disallowing TLP when there is TSO deferral, Nagle deferral, or we hit the rwin limit. Because basically every application write() or incoming ACK will cause us to run tcp_write_xmit() to see if we can send more, and then if we sent something we call tcp_schedule_loss_probe() to see if we should schedule a TLP. At that point, there are a few common reasons why some cwnd budget could still be unused: (a) rwin limit (b) nagle check (c) TSO deferral (d) TSQ For (d), after the next packet tx completion the TSQ mechanism will allow us to send more packets, so we don't really need a TLP (in practice it shouldn't matter whether we schedule one or not). But for (a), (b), (c) the sender won't send any more packets until it gets another ACK. But if the whole flight was lost, or all the ACKs were lost, then we won't get any more ACKs, and ideally we should schedule and send a TLP to get more feedback. In particular for a long time we have wanted some kind of timer for TSO deferral, and at least this would give us some kind of timer Reported-by: Steve Ibanez <sibanez@stanford.edu> Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Stephen Hemminger says: ==================== hv_netvsc: Fix default and limit of recv buffer The default for receive buffer descriptors is not correct, it should match the default receive buffer size and the upper limit of receive buffer size is too low. Also, for older versions of Window servers hosts, different lower limit check is necessary, otherwise the buffer request will be rejected by the host, resulting vNIC not come up.

The values were not computed correctly. There are no significant visible impact, though. The intended size of RX buffer is 16 MB, and the default slot size is 1728. So, NETVSC_DEFAULT_RX should be 16*1024*1024 / 1728 = 9709. The intended size of TX buffer is 1 MB, and the slot size is 6144. So, NETVSC_DEFAULT_TX should be 1024*1024 / 6144 = 170. The patch puts the formula directly into the macro, and moves them to hyperv_net.h, together with related macros.

This patchset depends on the "phylib: Add device reset GPIO support" patch submitted by Geert Uytterhoeven/Sergei Shtylyov, which was merged to net-next as commit bafbdd52 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support"). Changes v5: - fix reset delay calculation (max_t instead of min_t) Changes v4: - simplify dts parsing - simplify reset delay evaluation and execution - fec: ensure to only reset once during fec_enet_open() - remove dependency notes from commit message - add reviews and acks Changes v3: - use phylib to hard-reset the PHY - implement reset delays in phylib - add new phylib API & flag (PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN) to determine if a PHY is affected Changes v2: - simplify and fix fec_reset_phy function to support multiple calls - include: linux: phy: harmonize phy_id{,_mask} type - reset the phy instead of not turning the clock on and off (which would have caused a power consumption regression) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Some PHYs (for example the SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720) doesn't allow turning the refclk on and off again during operation (according to their datasheet). Nonetheless exactly this behaviour was introduced for power saving reasons by commit e8fcfcd5 ("net: fec: optimize the clock management to save power"). Therefore add support for the phy_reset_after_clk_enable function from phylib to mitigate this issue. Generally speaking this issue is only relevant if the ref clk for the PHY is generated by the SoC and therefore the PHY is configured to "REF_CLK In Mode". In our specific case (PCB) this problem does occur at about every 10th to 50th POR of an LAN8710 connected to an i.MX6SOLO SoC. The typical symptom of this problem is a "swinging" ethernet link. Similar issues were reported by users of the NXP forum: https://community.nxp.com/thread/389902 https://community.nxp.com/message/309354 With this patch applied the issue didn't occur for at least a few hundret PORs of our board.

The Microchip/SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 PHYs need (according to their datasheet [1]) a continuous REF_CLK when configured to "REF_CLK In Mode". Therefore set the PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN flag for those PHYs to let the ETH driver reset them after the REF_CLK is enabled.

Some PHYs need the refclk to be a continuous clock. Therefore they don't allow turning it off and on again during operation. Nonetheless such a clock switching is performed by some ETH drivers (namely FEC [1]) for power saving reasons. An example for an affected PHY is the SMSC/Microchip LAN8720 in "REF_CLK In Mode". In order to provide a uniform method to overcome this problem this patch adds a new phy_driver flag (PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN) and corresponding function phy_reset_after_clk_enable() to the phylib. These should be used to trigger reset of the PHY after the refclk is switched on again.

Eric Dumazet authored
Back in linux-3.13 (commit b0983d3c ("tcp: fix dynamic right sizing")) I addressed the pressing issues we had with receiver autotuning. But DRS suffers from extra latencies caused by rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us drifts. One common problem happens during slow start, since the apparent RTT measured by the receiver can be inflated by ~50%, at the end of one packet train. Also, a single drop can delay read() calls by one RTT, meaning tcp_rcv_space_adjust() can be called one RTT too late. By replacing the tri-modal heuristic with a continuous function, we can offset the effects of not growing 'at the optimal time'. The curve of the function matches prior behavior if the space increased by 25% and 50% exactly. Cost of added multiply/divide is small, considering a TCP flow typically would run this part of the code few times in its life. I tested this patch with 100 ms RTT / 1% loss link, 100 runs of (netperf -l 5), and got an average throughput of 4600 Mbit instead of 1700 Mbit.

While rcvbuf is properly clamped by tcp_rmem[2], rcvwin is left to a potentially too big value. It has no serious effect, since : 1) tcp_grow_window() has very strict checks. 2) window_clamp can be mangled by user space to any value anyway. tcp_init_buffer_space() and companions use tcp_full_space(), we use tcp_win_from_space() to avoid reloading sk->sk_rcvbuf Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Acked-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
