Don't send an IDLE ACK at the end of the transmission of the response to a service call. The service end resends DATA packets until the client sends an ACK that hard-acks all the send data. At that point, the call is complete. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Set the timestamp on sk_buffs holding packets to be transmitted before queueing them because the moment the packet is on the queue it can be seen by the retransmission algorithm - which may see a completely random timestamp. If the retransmission algorithm sees such a timestamp, it may retransmit the packet and, in future, tell the congestion management algorithm that the retransmit timer expired.

Change predecrement compare to post decrement compare to avoid an unsigned integer wrap-around comparison when decrementing idx in the while loop. For example, when idx is zero, the current situation will predecrement idx in the while loop, wrapping idx to the maximum signed integer and cause out of bounds reads on rxq_info->msix_tbl[idx].

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G SRIOV offloads vlan push/pop From Or Gerlitz: This series further enhances the SRIOV TC offloads of mlx5 to handle the TC vlan push and pop actions. This serves a common use-case in virtualization systems where the virtual switch add (push) vlan tags to packets sent from VMs and removes (pop) vlan tags before the packet is received by the VM. We use the new E-Switch switchdev mode and the TC vlan action to achieve that also in SW defined SRIOV environments by offloading TC rules that contain this action along with forwarding (TC mirred/redirect action) the packet. In the first patch we add some helpers to access the TC vlan action info by offloading drivers. The next five patches don't add any new functionality, they do some refactoring and cleanups in the current code to be used next. The seventh patch deals with supporting vlans by the mlx5 e-switch in switchdev mode. The eighth patch does the vlan action offload from TC and the last patch adds matching for vlans as typically required by TC flows that involve vlan pop action. The series was applied on top of commit 524605e5 "cxgb4: Convert to use simple_open()" ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Many virtualization systems use a policy under which a vlan tag is pushed to packets sent by guests, and popped before the packet is forwarded to the VM. The current generation of the mlx5 HW doesn't fully support that on a per flow level. As such, we are addressing the above common use case with the SRIOV e-Switch abilities to push vlan into packets sent by VFs and pop vlan from packets forwarded to VFs. The HW can match on the correct vlan being present in packets forwarded to VFs (eSwitch steering is done before stripping the tag), so this part is offloaded as is. A common practice for vlans is to avoid both push vlan and pop vlan for inter-host VM/VM (east-west) communication because in this case, push on egress cancels out with pop on ingress. For supporting that, we use a global eswitch vlan pop policy, hence allowing guest A to communicate with both remote VM B and local VM C. This works since the HW pops the vlan only if it exists (e.g for C --> A packets but not for B --> A packets). On the slow path, when a VF vport has an offloaded flow which involves pushing vlans, wheres another flow is not currently offloaded, the packets from the 2nd flow seen by the VF representor on the host have vlan. The VF rep driver removes such vlan before calling into the host networking stack.

It looks like the following patch can make FQ very precise, even in VM or stressed hosts. It matters at high pacing rates. We take into account the difference between the time that was programmed when last packet was sent, and current time (a drift of tens of usecs is often observed) Add an EWMA of the unthrottle latency to help diagnostics. This latency is the difference between current time and oldest packet in delayed RB-tree. This accounts for the high resolution timer latency, but can be different under stress, as fq_check_throttled() can be opportunistically be called from a dequeue() called after an enqueue() for a different flow.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner says: ==================== sctp: fix the handling of SACK Gap Ack blocks sctp_acked() is using 32bit arithmetics on 16bits vars, via TSN_lte() macros, which is weird and confusing. Once the offset to ctsn is calculated, all wrapping is already handled and thus to verify the Gap Ack blocks we can just use pure less/big-or-equal than checks. Also, rename gap variable to tsn_offset, so it's more meaningful, as it doesn't point to any gap at all. Even so, I don't think this discrepancy resulted in any practical bug. This patch is a preparation for the next one, which will introduce typecheck() for TSN_lte() macros and would cause a compile error here.

Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160922-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Preparation for slow-start algorithm [ver #2] Here are some patches that prepare for improvements in ACK generation and for the implementation of the slow-start part of the protocol: (1) Stop storing the protocol header in the Tx socket buffers, but rather generate it on the fly. This potentially saves a little space and makes it easier to alter the header just before transmission (the flags may get altered and the serial number has to be changed). (2) Mask off the Tx buffer annotations and add a flag to record which ones have already been resent. (3) Track RTT on a per-peer basis for use in future changes. Tracepoints are added to log this. (4) Send PING ACKs in response to incoming calls to elicit a PING-RESPONSE ACK from which RTT data can be calculated. The response also carries other useful information. (5) Expedite PING-RESPONSE ACK generation from sendmsg. If we're actively using sendmsg, this allows us, under some circumstances, to avoid having to rely on the background work item to run to generate this ACK. This requires ktime_sub_ms() to be added. (6) Set the REQUEST-ACK flag on some DATA packets to elicit ACK-REQUESTED ACKs from which RTT data can be calculated. (7) Limit the use of pings and ACK requests for RTT determination. Changes: (V2) Don't use the C division operator for 64-bit division. One instance should use do_div() and the other should be using nsecs_to_jiffies().

Reduce the number of ACK-Requests we set on DATA packets that we're sending to reduce network traffic. We set the flag on odd-numbered DATA packets to start off the RTT cache until we have at least three entries in it and then probe once per second thereafter to keep it topped up. This could be made tunable in future. Note that from this point, the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK flag is set on DATA packets as we transmit them and not stored statically in the sk_buff.

Joel Stanley says: ==================== ftgmac100 support for ast2500 This series adds support to the ftgmac100 driver for the Aspeed ast2400 and ast2500 SoCs. In particular, they ensure the driver works correctly on the ast2500 where the MAC block has seen some changes in register layout. They have been tested on ast2400 and ast2500 systems with the NCSI stack and with a directly attached PHY. V2 reworks the two patches relating to PHYSTS_CHG into the one patch that disables the interrupt instead of playing with interrupt sensitivity. I kept patch 4 'net/faraday: Clear stale interrupts' which was first introduced to clear the stale PHYSTS_CHG interrupt, as it helps keep us safe from unhygienic (vendor) bootloaders. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Joel Stanley authored
The PHYSTS_CHG (the ftgmac100's PHY IRQ) is telling the system to go look at the PHY registers for a link status change. The interrupt was causing issues on Aspeed SoC where some board designs had an active high configuration, some active low, and in some cases repurposed for other functions. When misconfigured Linux would chew 100% of CPU cycles servicing interrupts: [ 20.280000] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth0: [ISR] = 0x200: PHYSTS_CHG [ 20.280000] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth0: [ISR] = 0x200: PHYSTS_CHG [ 20.280000] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth0: [ISR] = 0x200: PHYSTS_CHG [ 20.300000] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth0: [ISR] = 0x200: PHYSTS_CHG While in the ftgmac100 IP can be configured for high, low and edge sensitivity the current driver always polls the PHY, so we chose to mask out the interrupt.
