Applications have started to use Fast Open (e.g., Chrome browser has such an optional flag) and the feature has gone through several generations of kernels since 3.7 with many real network tests. It's time to enable this flag by default for applications to test more conveniently and extensively.

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== Mellanox driver updates This patch set from Jack Morgenstein does the following: 1. Fix MAC/VLAN SRIOV implementation, and add wrapper functions for VLAN allocation and de-allocation (patches 1-6). 2. Implements resource quotas when running under SRIOV (patches 7-10). Patch 7 is a small bug fix, and patches 8-10 implement the quotas. 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. The series is against net-next commit ba486502 "ipv6: remove the unnecessary statement in find_match()" changes from V0: - dropped the 1st patch which needs to go to -stable and hence through net, not net-next ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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).

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: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Introduced in f9e42b85 ("net: sctp: sideeffect: throw BUG if primary_path is NULL"), we intended to find a buggy assoc that's part of the assoc hash table with a primary_path that is NULL. However, we better remove the BUG_ON for now and find a more suitable place to assert for these things as Mark reports that this also triggers the bug when duplication cookie processing happens, and the assoc is not part of the hash table (so all good in this case). Such a situation can for example easily be reproduced by: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 2 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:2 handle 20: netem loss 20% tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 2 u32 match ip \ protocol 132 0xff match u8 0x0b 0xff at 32 flowid 1:2 This drops 20% of COOKIE-ACK packets. After some follow-up discussion with Vlad we came to the conclusion that for now we should still better remove this BUG_ON() assertion, and come up with two follow-ups later on, that is, i) find a more suitable place for this assertion, and possibly ii) have a special allocator/initializer for such kind of temporary assocs.

High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and very short reaction time. HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring must be HSR capable. This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0). Signed-off-by: Arvid Brodin <arvid.brodin@xdin.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This fixes an outstanding bug found through IPVS, where SCTP packets with skb->data_len > 0 (non-linearized) and empty frag_list, but data accumulated in frags[] member, are forwarded with incorrect checksum letting SCTP initial handshake fail on some systems. Linearizing each SCTP skb in IPVS to prevent that would not be a good solution as this leads to an additional and unnecessary performance penalty on the load-balancer itself for no good reason (as we actually only want to update the checksum, and can do that in a different/better way presented here). The actual problem is elsewhere, namely, that SCTP's checksumming in sctp_compute_cksum() does not take frags[] into account like skb_checksum() does. So while we are fixing this up, we better reuse the existing code that we have anyway in __skb_checksum() and use it for walking through the data doing checksumming. This will not only fix this issue, but also consolidates some SCTP code with core sk_buff code, bringing it closer together and removing respectively avoiding reimplementation of skb_checksum() for no good reason. As crc32c() can use hardware implementation within the crypto layer, we leave that intact (it wraps around / falls back to e.g. slice-by-8 algorithm in __crc32c_le() otherwise); plus use the __crc32c_le_combine() combinator for crc32c blocks. Also, we remove all other SCTP checksumming code, so that we only have to use sctp_compute_cksum() from now on; for doing that, we need to transform SCTP checkumming in output path slightly, and can leave the rest intact.
