Tariq Toukan says: ==================== Safe flow for mlx4_en configuration change This patchset improves the mlx4_en driver resiliency, especially on systems with low memory. Upon a configuration change that requires the allocation of new resources, we first try to allocate, prior to destroying the current ones. Once it is successfully done, we release the old resources and attach the new ones. Otherwise, we stay with a functioning interface having the same old configuration. This improvement became of greater significance after removing the use of vmap. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch fixes the lost of Ethernet port on low memory system, when driver frees its resources and fails to allocate new resources. Issue could happen while changing number of channels, rings size or changing the timestamp configuration. This fix is necessary because of removing vmap use in the code. When vmap was in use driver could allocate non-contiguous memory and make it contiguous with vmap. Now it could fail to allocate a large chunk of contiguous memory and lose the port. Current code tries to allocate new resources and then upon success frees the old resources.

In kernel HTB keeps tokens in signed 64-bit in nanoseconds. In netlink protocol these values are converted into pshed ticks (64ns for now) and truncated to 32-bit. In struct tc_htb_xstats fields "tokens" and "ctokens" are declared as unsigned 32-bit but they could be negative thus tool 'tc' prints them as signed. Big values loose higher bits and/or become negative. This patch clamps tokens in xstat into range from INT_MIN to INT_MAX. In this way it's easier to understand what's going on here.

The label lio_xmit_failed is used 3 times through liquidio_xmit() but it always makes a call to dma_unmap_single() using potentially uninitialized variables from "ndata" variable. Out of the 3 gotos, 2 run after ndata has been initialized, and had a prior dma_map_single() call. Fix this by adding a new error label: lio_xmit_dma_failed which does this dma_unmap_single() and then processed with the lio_xmit_failed fallthrough.

macsec can't cope with mtu frames which need vlan tag insertion, and vlan device set the default mtu equal to the underlying dev's one. By default vlan over macsec devices use invalid mtu, dropping all the large packets. This patch adds a netif helper to check if an upper vlan device needs mtu reduction. The helper is used during vlan devices initialization to set a valid default and during mtu updating to forbid invalid, too bit, mtu values. The helper currently only check if the lower dev is a macsec device, if we get more users, we need to update only the helper (possibly reserving an additional IFF bit).

Packets entering the switch are mapped to a Switch Priority (SP) according to their PCP value (untagged frames are mapped to SP 0). The packets are classified to a priority group (PG) buffer in the port's headroom according to their SP. The switch maintains another mapping (SP to IEEE priority), which is used to generate PFC frames for lossless PGs. This mapping is initialized to IEEE = SP % 8. Therefore, when mapping SP 'x' to PG 'y' we create a situation in which an IEEE priority is mapped to two different PGs: IEEE 'x' ---> SP 'x' ---> PG 'y' IEEE 'x' ---> SP 'x + 8' ---> PG '0' (default) Which is invalid, as a flow can use only one PG buffer. Fix this by mapping both SP 'x' and 'x + 8' to the same PG buffer.

The per-socket rate limit for 'challenge acks' was introduced in the context of limiting ack loops: commit f2b2c582 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock") And I think it can be extended to rate limit all 'challenge acks' on a per-socket basis. Since we have the global tcp_challenge_ack_limit, this patch allows for tcp_challenge_ack_limit to be set to a large value and effectively rely on the per-socket limit, or set tcp_challenge_ack_limit to a lower value and still prevents a single connections from consuming the entire challenge ack quota. It further moves in the direction of eliminating the global limit at some point, as Eric Dumazet has suggested.

Currently, the q_vector initialization routine sets the affinity_mask of a q_vector based on v_idx value. Meaning a loop iterates on v_idx, which is an incremental value, and the cpumask is created based on this value. This is a problem in systems with multiple logical CPUs per core (like in SMT scenarios). If we disable some logical CPUs, by turning SMT off for example, we will end up with a sparse cpu_online_mask, i.e., only the first CPU in a core is online, and incremental filling in q_vector cpumask might lead to multiple offline CPUs being assigned to q_vectors. Example: if we have a system with 8 cores each one containing 8 logical CPUs (SMT == 8 in this case), we have 64 CPUs in total. But if SMT is disabled, only the 1st CPU in each core remains online, so the cpu_online_mask in this case would have only 8 bits set, in a sparse way. In general case, when SMT is off the cpu_online_mask has only C bits set: 0, 1*N, 2*N, ..., C*(N-1) where C == # of cores; N == # of logical CPUs per core. In our example, only bits 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 would be set. This patch changes the way q_vector's affinity_mask is created: it iterates on v_idx, but consumes the CPU index from the cpu_online_mask instead of just using the v_idx incremental value. No functional changes were introduced.

There are a couple of issues I found in i40e_rx_checksum while doing some recent testing. As a result I have found the Rx checksum logic is pretty much broken and returning that the checksum is valid for tunnels in cases where it is not. First the inner types are not the correct values to use to test for if a tunnel is present or not. In addition the inner protocol types are not a bitmask as such performing an OR of the values doesn't make sense. I have instead changed the code so that the inner protocol types are used to determine if we report CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY or not. For anything that does not end in UDP, TCP, or SCTP it doesn't make much sense to report a checksum offload since it won't contain a checksum anyway. This leaves us with the need to set the csum_level based on some value. For that purpose I am using the tunnel_type field. If the tunnel type is GRENAT or greater then this means we have a GRE or UDP tunnel with an inner header. In the case of GRE or UDP we will have a possible checksum present so for this reason it should be safe to set the csum_level to 1 to indicate that we are reporting the state of the inner header.

Dccp verifies packet integrity, including length, at initial rcv in dccp_invalid_packet, later pulls headers in dccp_enqueue_skb. A call to sk_filter in-between can cause __skb_pull to wrap skb->len. skb_copy_datagram_msg interprets this as a negative value, so (correctly) fails with EFAULT. The negative length is reported in ioctl SIOCINQ or possibly in a DCCP_WARN in dccp_close. Introduce an sk_receive_skb variant that caps how small a filter program can trim packets, and call this in dccp with the header length. Excessively trimmed packets are now processed normally and queued for reception as 0B payloads.

Sockets can have a filter program attached that drops or trims incoming packets based on the filter program return value. Rose requires data packets to have at least ROSE_MIN_LEN bytes. It verifies this on arrival in rose_route_frame and unconditionally pulls the bytes in rose_recvmsg. The filter can trim packets to below this value in-between, causing pull to fail, leaving the partial header at the time of skb_copy_datagram_msg. Place a lower bound on the size to which sk_filter may trim packets by introducing sk_filter_trim_cap and call this for rose packets.

In test situations with many nodes and a heavily stressed system we have observed that the transmission broadcast link may fail due to an excessive number of retransmissions of the same packet. In such situations we need to reset all unicast links to all peers, in order to reset and re-synchronize the broadcast link. In this commit, we add a new function tipc_bearer_reset_all() to be used in such situations. The function scans across all bearers and resets all their pertaining links.

After a new receiver peer has been added to the broadcast transmission link, we allow immediate transmission of new broadcast packets, trusting that the new peer will not accept the packets until it has received the previously sent unicast broadcast initialiation message. In the same way, the sender must not accept any acknowledges until it has itself received the broadcast initialization from the peer, as well as confirmation of the reception of its own initialization message. Furthermore, when a receiver peer goes down, the sender has to produce the missing acknowledges from the lost peer locally, in order ensure correct release of the buffers that were expected to be acknowledged by the said peer. In a highly stressed system we have observed that contact with a peer may come up and be lost before the above mentioned broadcast initial- ization and confirmation have been received. This leads to the locally produced acknowledges being rejected, and the non-acknowledged buffers to linger in the broadcast link transmission queue until it fills up and the link goes into permanent congestion. In this commit, we remedy this by temporarily setting the corresponding broadcast receive link state to ESTABLISHED and the 'bc_peer_is_up' state to true before we issue the local acknowledges. This ensures that those acknowledges will always be accepted. The mentioned state values are restored immediately afterwards when the link is reset.
