If there is a significant amount of chains list search is too slow, so add an rhlist table for this. This speeds up ruleset loading: for every new rule we have to check if the name already exists in current generation. We need to be able to cope with duplicate chain names in case a transaction drops the nfnl mutex (for request_module) and the abort of this old transaction is still pending. The list is kept -- we need a way to iterate chains even if hash resize is in progress without missing an entry.

This features which allows you to limit the maximum number of connections per arbitrary key. The connlimit expression is stateful, therefore it can be used from meters to dynamically populate a set, this provides a mapping to the iptables' connlimit match. This patch also comes that allows you define static connlimit policies. This extension depends on the nf_conncount infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Before this patch, cloned expressions are released via ->destroy. This is a problem for the new connlimit expression since the ->destroy path drop a reference on the conntrack modules and it unregisters hooks. The new ->destroy_clone provides context that this expression is being released from the packet path, so it is mirroring ->clone(), where neither module reference is dropped nor hooks need to be unregistered - because this done from the control plane path from the ->init() path.

Use garbage collector to schedule removal of elements based of feedback from expression that this element comes with. Therefore, the garbage collector is not guided by timeout expirations in this new mode. The new connlimit expression sets on the NFT_EXPR_GC flag to enable this behaviour, the dynset expression needs to explicitly enable the garbage collector via set->ops->gc_init call.

George Boole would have noticed a slight error in 4.16 commit 69d763fc ("mm: pin address_space before dereferencing it while isolating an LRU page"). Fix it, to match both the comment above it, and the original behaviour. Although anonymous pages are not marked PageDirty at first, we have an old habit of calling SetPageDirty when a page is removed from swap cache: so there's a category of ex-swap pages that are easily migratable, but were inadvertently excluded from compaction's async migration in 4.16.

Swapping load on huge=always tmpfs (with khugepaged tuned up to be very eager, but I'm not sure that is relevant) soon hung uninterruptibly, waiting for page lock in shmem_getpage_gfp()'s find_lock_entry(), most often when "cp -a" was trying to write to a smallish file. Debug showed that the page in question was not locked, and page->mapping NULL by now, but page->index consistent with having been in a huge page before. Reproduced in minutes on a 4.15 kernel, even with 4.17's 605ca5ed ("mm/huge_memory.c: reorder operations in __split_huge_page_tail()") added in; but took hours to reproduce on a 4.17 kernel (no idea why). The culprit proved to be the __ClearPageDirty() on tails beyond i_size in __split_huge_page(): the non-atomic __bitoperation may have been safe when 4.8's baa355fd ("thp: file pages support for split_huge_page()") introduced it, but liable to erase PageWaiters after 4.10's 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit").

Whenever possible, prefer using a linear SKB, and build it wrapping the WQE buffer. Otherwise (for example, jumbo frames on x86), use non-linear SKB, with as many frags as needed.

In 64 bit, we have a 4 byte hole between ifindex and netns_dev in the case of struct bpf_map_info but also struct bpf_prog_info. In net-next commit b85fab0e ("bpf: Add gpl_compatible flag to struct bpf_prog_info") added a bitfield into it to expose some flags related to programs.

Enhance the memory scheme of the legacy RQ, such that only order-0 pages are used. Whenever possible, prefer using a linear SKB, and build it wrapping the WQE buffer. Otherwise (for example, jumbo frames on x86), use non-linear SKB, with as many frags as needed. In this case, multiple WQE scatter entries are used, up to a maximum of 4 frags and 10KB of MTU. This implied to remove support of HW LRO in legacy RQ, as it would require large number of page allocations and scatter entries per WQE on archs with PAGE_SIZE = 4KB, yielding bad performance. In earlier patches, we guaranteed that all completions are in-order, and that we use a cyclic WQ. This creates an oppurtunity for a performance optimization: The mapping between a "struct mlx5e_dma_info", and the WQEs (struct mlx5e_wqe_frag_info) pointing to it, is constant across different cycles of a WQ. This allows initializing the mapping in the time of RQ creation, and not handle it in datapath. A struct mlx5e_dma_info that is shared between different WQEs is allocated by the first WQE, and freed by the last one. This implies an important requirement: WQEs that share the same struct mlx5e_dma_info must be posted within the same NAPI. Otherwise, upon completion, struct mlx5e_wqe_frag_info would mistakenly point to the new struct mlx5e_dma_info, not the one that was posted (and the HW wrote to). This bulking requirement is actually good also for performance reasons, hence we extend the bulk beyong the minimal requirement above. With this memory scheme, the RQs memory footprint is reduce by a factor of 2 on x86, and by a factor of 32 on PowerPC. Same factors apply for the number of pages in a GRO session. Performance tests: ConnectX-4, single core, single RX ring, default MTU. x86: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz Packet rate (early drop in TC): no degradation TCP streams: ~5% improvement PowerPC: CPU: POWER8 (raw), altivec supported Packet rate (early drop in TC): 20% gain TCP streams: 25% gain Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>

Now that LRO is not supported for Legacy RQ, there is no source of out-of-order completions in the WQ, and we can use a cyclic one. This has multiple advantages: - reduces the WQE size (smaller PCI transactions). - lower overhead in datapath (no handling of 'next' pointers). - no reserved WQE for the WQ head (was need in linked-list). - allows using a constant map between frag and dma_info struct, in downstream patch. Performance tests: ConnectX-4, single core, single RX ring. Major gain in packet rate of single ring XDP drop. Bottleneck is shifted form HW (at 16Mpps) to SW (at 20Mpps).

Current LRO implementation in Legacy RQ uses high-order pages. In downstream patches of this series we complete the transition to using only order-0 pages in RX datapath (which was already done in Striding RQ). Unlike the more advanced Striding RQ, Legacy RQ does not make reuse of any non-consumed buffers of non-full LRO sessions, and combining it with order-0 pages has many performance drawbacks. Hence, here we totally remove LRO support in Legacy RQ. This guarantees having no out-of-order completions, which allows using a cyclic work queue (instead of a linked-list) in a downstream patch.

Get the logic of copying the packet header into the SKB linear part into a generic function. Function does copy length alignment and dma buffer sync. It is currently called only within the MPWQE flow. In a downstream patch, it will be called within the legacy RQ flow as well.

Rename it and pass truesize as an extra argument, as it will be used also in Legacy RQ in a downstream patch. Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
