This patch aims to extend round-robin mode with a new option called packets_per_slave which can have the following values and effects: 0 - choose a random slave 1 (default) - standard round-robin, 1 packet per slave >1 - round-robin when >1 packets have been transmitted per slave The allowed values are between 0 and 65535. This patch also fixes the comment style in bond_xmit_roundrobin(). Signed-off-by:

We used to use a percpu structure vq_index to record the cpu to queue mapping, this is suboptimal since it duplicates the work of XPS and loses all other XPS functionality such as allowing user to configure their own transmission steering strategy. So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when the number of cpus is equal to the number of queues. With XPS support, there's no need for keeping per-cpu vq_index and .ndo_select_queue(), so they were removed also. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S.

Commit 1e2bd517 ("udp6: Fix udp fragmentation for tunnel traffic.") changed the calculation if there is enough space to include a fragment header in the skb from a skb->mac_header dervived one to skb_headroom. Because we already peeled off the skb to transport_header this is wrong. Change this back to check if we have enough room before the mac_header. This fixes a panic Saran Neti reported. He used the tbf scheduler which skb_gso_segments the skb. The offsets get negative and we panic in memcpy because the skb was erroneously not expanded at the head. Reported-by:

Commit cc9d4598 'net: mv643xx_eth: use of_phy_connect if phy_node present' made the call to phy_scan optional, if the DT has a link to the phy node. However phy_scan has the side effect of calling phy_addr_set, which writes the phy MDIO address to the ethernet controller. If phy_addr_set is not called, and the bootloader has not set the correct address then the driver will fail to function. Tested on Kirkwood. Signed-off-by:

Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery, their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag on the outgoing frames. Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could well be forged in an attack. (The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient information to identify a flow.) Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman: <https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf> This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g. <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>, without leading to fixes. This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output. Many thanks to Florian Weimer for the idea and feedback while implementing this patch. Cc: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Suggested-by:

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== The huawei_cdc_ncm driver. Enrico has been kind enough to let me repost his driver with the changes requested by Oliver Neukum during the last review of this series. The changes I have made from Enricos original v5 series to this version are: v6: - fix to avoid corrupting drvstate->pmcount - fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend() - drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume - broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation - rebased on top of current net-next Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below. It explains the background much better than I can. Bjørn [quote Enrico Mioso] So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and E3251 modem devices. Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC. Merging those patches might change: - the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices - some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware variants around (Franko?) First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices. Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver. So actually we gain funcionality in this case! The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver, still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now. The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to change this, when more devices are tested. We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode. I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel, at least in my case. Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please CC me, thanks!!

The code of flow label in Linux Kernel follows the rules of RFC 1809 (an informational one) for conditions on flow label sharing. There rules are not in the last proposed standard for flow label (RFC 6437), or in the previous one (RFC 3697). Since this code does not follow any current or old standard, we can remove it. With this removal, the ipv6_opt_cmp function is now a dead code and it can be removed too.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept the following pull request intended for the 3.13 tree... I had intended to pass most of these to you as much as two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I failed to account for the effects of bad Internet connections and my own fatique/laziness while traveling. On the bright side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates) and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information." For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says: "I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing commands quickly." And: "For this round, I have a lot of changes: * power management improvements * BT coexistence improvements/updates * new device support * VHT support * IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware) * various other fixes/improvements." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can show." For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says: "Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for this. Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights: - NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits below the NFC core. - Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of our NFC digital stack implementation. - Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling, disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC payments. Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API. - NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a driver for it. - pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode." On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry of updates. A few other drivers get hit here or there as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Commit 2613af0e (virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators) try to increase the payload/truesize for MTU-sized traffic. But this will introduce the extra overhead for GSO packets received because of the frag list. This commit tries to reduce this issue by coalesce the possible rx frags when possible during rx. Test result shows the about 15% improvement on full size GSO packet receiving (and even better than before commit 2613af0e).

As described in commit 5a581b36 (jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow), according to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined behavior. To fix this, do as the above commit, and do an unsigned subtraction, and interpreting the result as a signed two's-complement number. This is based on the theory from RFC 1982 and is nicely described in wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number_arithmetic#General_Solution A side-note, I have seen practical issues with the previous logic when dealing with 16-bit, on a 64-bit machine (gcc version 4.4.5).

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default. Signed-off-by:

Implements resource quota grant decision when resources are requested, for the following resources: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, vlans, MACs, and Counters. When granting a resource, the quota system increases the allocated-count for that slave. When the slave later frees the resource, its allocated-count is reduced. A spinlock is used to protect the integrity of each resource's free-pool counter. (One slave may be in the process of being granted a resource while another slave has crashed, initiating cleanup of that slave's resource quotas). Signed-off-by:

In current kernels, the mlx4 driver running on a VM does not differentiate between max resource numbers for the HCA and max quotas -- it simply takes the quota values passed to it as max-resource values. However, the driver actually requires the VFs to be aware of the actual number of resources that the HCA was initialized with, for QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs. For QPs, CQs and SRQs, the reason is that in completion handling the driver must know which of the 24 bits are the actual resource number, and which are "padding" bits. For MPTs, also, the driver assumes knowledge of the number of MPTs in the system. The previous commit fixes the quota logic on the VM for the quota values passed to it by QUERY_FUNC_CAPS. For QPs, CQs, SRQs, and MPTs, it takes the max resource numbers from QUERY_HCA (and not QUERY_FUNC_CAPS). The quotas passed in QUERY_FUNC_CAPS are used to report max resource number values in the response to ib_query_device. However, the Hypervisor driver must consider that VMs may be running previous kernels, and compatibility must be preserved. To resolve the incompatibility with previous kernels running on VMs, we deprecated the quota fields in mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP. In the deprecated fields, we pass the max-resource values from INIT_HCA The quota fields are moved to a new location, and the current kernel driver takes the proper values from that location. There is also a new flag in dword 0, bit 28 of the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP mailbox; if this flag is set, the (VM) driver takes the quota values from the new location. VMs running previous kernels will work properly, except that the max resource numbers reported in ib_query_device for these resources will be too high. The Hypervisor driver will, however, enforce the quotas for these VMs. Signed-off-by:

This is step #1 for implementing SRIOV resource quotas for VFs. Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving the other entities unable to obtain such resources. Resources which are allocated using quotas: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MAC, VLAN, and Counters. The quota system works as follows: Each entity (VF or PF) is given a max number of a given resource (its quota), and a guaranteed minimum number for each resource (starvation prevention). For QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs and MTTs: 50% of the available quantity for the resource is divided equally among the PF and all the active VFs (i.e., the number of VFs in the mlx4_core module parameter "num_vfs"). This 50% represents the "guaranteed minimum" pool. The other 50% is the "free pool", allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. For each VF/PF, resources are first allocated from its "guaranteed-minimum" pool. When that pool is exhausted, the driver attempts to allocate from the resource "free-pool". The quota (i.e., max) for the VFs and the PF is: The free-pool amount (50% of the real max) + the guaranteed minimum For MACs: Guarantee 2 MACs per VF/PF per port. As a result, since we have only 128 MACs per port, reduce the allowable number of VFs from 64 to 63. Any remaining MACs are put into a free pool. For VLANs: For the PF, the per-port quota is 128 and guarantee is 64 (to allow the PF to register at least a VLAN per VF in VST mode). For the VFs, the per-port quota is 64 and the guarantee is 0. We assume that VGT VFs are trusted not to abuse the VLAN resource. For Counters: For all functions (PF and VFs), the quota is 128 and the guarantee is 0. In this patch, we define the needed structures, which are added to the resource-tracker struct. In addition, we do initialization for the resource quota, and adjust the query_device response to use quotas rather than resource maxima. As part of the implementation, we introduce a new field in mlx4_dev: quotas. This field holds the resource quotas used to report maxima to the upper layers (ib_core, via query_device). The HCA maxima of these values are passed to the VFs (via QUERY_HCA) so that they may continue to use these in handling QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs. Signed-off-by: -

In procedure mlx4_init_mr_table(), slaves should do no processing, but should return success. This initialization is hypervisor-only. However, the check for num_mpts being a power-of-2 was performed before the check to return immediately if the driver is for a slave. This resulted in spurious failures. The order of performing the checks is reversed, so that if the driver is for a slave, no processing is done and success is returned. Signed-off-by:

In upstream kernels under SRIOV, the vlan register/unregister calls were NOPs (doing nothing and returning OK). We detect these old calls from guests (via the comm channel), since previously the port number in mlx4_register_vlan was passed (improperly) in the out_param. This has been corrected so that the port number is now passed in bits 8..15 of the in_modifier field. For old calls, these bits will be zero, so if the passed port number is zero, we can still look at the out_param field to see if it contains a valid port number. If yes, the VM is running an old driver. Since for old drivers, the register/unregister_vlan wrappers were NOPs, we continue this policy -- the reason being that upstream had an additional bug in eth driver running on guests (where procedure mlx4_en_vlan_rx_kill_vid() had the following code: if (!mlx4_find_cached_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, vid, &idx)) mlx4_unregister_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, idx); else en_err(priv, "could not find vid %d in cache\n", vid); On a VM, mlx4_find_cached_vlan() will always fail, since the vlan cache is located on the Hypervisor; on guests it is empty. Therefore, if we allow upstream guests to register vlans, we will have vlan leakage since the unregister will never be performed. Leaving vlan reg/unreg for old guest drivers as a NOP is not a feature regression, since in upstream the register/unregister vlan wrapper is a NOP. Signed-off-by: -

Use of vlan_index created problems unregistering vlans on guests. In addition, tools delete vlan by tag, not by index, lets follow that. Signed-off-by:

The functions mlx4_register_vlan, mlx4_unregister_vlan, mlx4_register_mac, mlx4_unregister_mac all made illegal use of the out_param in multifunc mode to pass the port number. The firmware spec specifies that the port number should be passed in bits 8..15 of the input-modifier field for ALLOC_RES and FREE_RES (sections 20.15.1 and 20.15.2). For MAC register/unregister, this patch contains workarounds so that guests running previous kernels continue to work on a new Hypervisor, and guests running the new kernel will continue to work on old hypervisors. Vlan registeration capability is still not operational in multifunction mode, since the vlan wrapper functions are not implemented in this patch. Signed-off-by:
