      tc-testing: Add new TdcResults module · dfe465d3
      Lucas Bates authored 
      This module includes new classes for tdc to use in keeping track
of test case results, instead of generating and tracking a lengthy
string.

The new module can be extended to support multiple formal
test result formats to be friendlier to automation.

      tc-testing: Add command timeout feature to tdc · d37e56df
      Lucas Bates authored 
      Using an attribute set in the tdc_config.py file, limit the
amount of time tdc will wait for an executed command to
complete and prevent the script from hanging entirely.

This timeout will be applied to all executed commands.

      net: call sk_dst_reset when set SO_DONTROUTE · 0fbe82e6
      yupeng authored 
      after set SO_DONTROUTE to 1, the IP layer should not route packets if
the dest IP address is not in link scope. But if the socket has cached
the dst_entry, such packets would be routed until the sk_dst_cache
expires. So we should clean the sk_dst_cache when a user set
SO_DONTROUTE option. Below are server/client python scripts which
could reprodue this issue:

server side code:

==========================================================================
import socket
import struct
import time

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(('0.0.0.0', 9000))
s.listen(1)
sock, addr = s.accept()
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_DONTROUTE, struct.pack('i', 1))
while True:
    sock.send(b'foo')
    time.sleep(1)
==========================================================================

client side code:
==========================================================================
import socket
import time

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('server_address', 9000))
while True:
    data = s.recv(1024)
    print(data)

      neighbor: Improve garbage collection · 58956317
      David Ahern authored 
      The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:

1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
   are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
   hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
   looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
   can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
   CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
   entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
   invocation.

2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
   the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
   walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
   or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
   discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
   from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).

   It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
   entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
   request) right before the 5 second window lapses:

        -----|---------x|----------|-----
            t-5         t         t+5

   If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
   thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.

   Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
   "Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".

   One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
   whole point of having separate thresholds.

3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
   when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
   especially during startup.

This patch addresses these problems as follows:

1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
   collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
   added to this list.

   The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the
   total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only
   walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict.

2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the
   front.

3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds
   ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2.

4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
   gc_thresh2.

5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
   when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
   means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
   that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
   entries.

      Merge branch 'Pass-extack-to-NETDEV_PRE_UP' · ef2df7fc
      David S. Miller authored 
      Petr Machata says:

====================
Pass extack to NETDEV_PRE_UP

Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to
be upped. An example is mlxsw, which needs to check the configuration of
a VXLAN device attached to an offloaded bridge. Should the validation
fail, there's currently no way to communicate details of the failure to
the user, beyond an error number.

Therefore this patch set extends the NETDEV_PRE_UP event to include
extack, if available.

There are three vectors through which NETDEV_PRE_UP invocation can be
reached. The two major ones are dev_open() and dev_change_flags(), the
last is then __dev_change_flags().

In patch #1, the first access vector, dev_open() is addressed. An extack
parameter is added and all users converted to use it.

Before addressing the second vector, two preparatory patches propagate
extack argument to the proximity of the dev_change_flags() call in VRF
and IPVLAN drivers. That happens in patches #2 and #3. Then in patch #4,
dev_change_flags() is treated similarly to dev_open().

Likewise in patch #5, __dev_change_flags() is extended.

Then in patches #6 and #7, the extack is finally propagated all the way
to the point where the notification is emitted.

This change allows particularly mlxsw (which already has code to
leverage extack if available) to communicate to the user error messages
regarding VXLAN configuration. In patch #8, add a test case that
exercises this code and checks that an error message is propagated.

For example:

	local 192.0.2.17 remote 192.0.2.18 \
	dstport 4789 nolearning noudpcsum tos inherit ttl 100
	local 192.0.2.17 remote 192.0.2.18 \
	dstport 4789 nolearning noudpcsum tos inherit ttl 100
Error: mlxsw_spectrum: Conflicting NVE tunnels configuration.

v2:
- Add David Ahern's tags.

      net: core: dev: Attach extack to NETDEV_PRE_UP · 40c900aa

      Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to
be upped. Should the validation fail, there's currently no way to
communicate details of the failure to the user, beyond an error number.

To mend that, change __dev_open() to take an extack argument and pass it
from __dev_change_flags() and dev_open(), where it was propagated in the
previous patches.

Change __dev_open() to call call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() so that
the passed-in extack is attached to the NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier.
