Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-08-18 This series contains updates to igb only. Gangfeng Huang provides all the changes in the series to update the igb driver to support advanced receive side filters that direct receive packets by flows to different hardware queues. This enables a tight control on routing a flow in the platform. First patch allows for receive network flow classification to insert and remove receive filters by ethtool. Second and third patches add the ability to insert and remove ethertype and VLAN priority filters by ethtool. Last patch just fixes an error message to return "Not supported" versus "Unknown error 524". ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Jiri Kosina says: ==================== qdisc-hashtable fixes The following two patches fix all the issues that have been reported against the conversion of qdisc linked list to hashtable (currently in net-next) so far. First patch adjusts handling of singleton qdiscs to the new semantics, and is rather straightforward. The second patch, which fixes "cosmetic" issue of duplicate entries in the qdisc dump for ingress qdiscs, is a little bit more hairy; I personally would love to see all the already existing "if (ingress)"-like hacks go away (by, let's say, introducing a general TCQ_F_? flag), but that's way out of scope of this patchset (but already on my todo). Thanks a lot to Daniel Borkmann and David Ahern for reporting the issues and testing the patches promptly. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

tc_dump_qdisc() performs dumping of the per-device qdiscs in two phases; first, the "standard" dev->qdisc is being dumped. Second, if there is/are ingress queue(s), they are being dumped as well. After conversion of netdevice's qdisc linked-list into hashtable, these two sets are not in two disjunctive sets/lists any more, but are both "reachable" directly from netdevice's hashtable. As a consequence, the "full-depth" dump of the ingress qdiscs results in immediately hitting the netdevice hashtable again, and duplicating the dump that has already been performed for dev->qdisc. What in fact needs to be dumped in case of ingress queue is "just" the top-level ingress qdisc, as everything else has been dumped already. Fix this by extending tc_dump_qdisc_root() in a way that it can be instructed whether it should (while performing the "full" per-netdev qdisc dump) perform the whole recursion, or just dump "additional" top-level (ingress) qdiscs without performing any kind of recursion. This fixes duplicate dumps such as qdisc mq 0: root qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :4 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :3 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :2 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :1 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc clsact ffff: parent ffff:fff1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :4 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :3 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :2 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :1 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Fixes: 59cc1f61 ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable") Reported-by:

qdisc_match_from_root() is now iterating over per-netdevice qdisc hashtable instead of going through a linked-list of qdiscs (independently on the actual underlying netdev), which was the case before the switch to hashtable for qdiscs. For singleton qdiscs, there is no underlying netdev associated though, and therefore dumping a singleton qdisc will panic, as qdisc_dev(root) will always be NULL.

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: bearer and link improvements The first commit makes it possible to set and check the 'blocked' state of a bearer from the generic bearer layer. The second commit is a small improvement to the link congestion mechanism. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Jon Paul Maloy authored
When a link is attempted woken up after congestion, it uses a different, more generous criteria than when it was originally declared congested. This has the effect that the link, and the sending process, sometimes will be woken up unnecessarily, just to immediately return to congestion when it turns out there is not not enough space in its send queue to host the pending message. This is a waste of CPU cycles. We now change the function link_prepare_wakeup() to use exactly the same criteria as tipc_link_xmit(). However, since we are now excluding the window limit from the wakeup calculation, and the current backlog limit for the lowest level is too small to house even a single maximum-size message, we have to expand this limit. We do this by evaluating an alternative, minimum value during the setting of the importance limits. Acked-by:

Jon Paul Maloy authored
In commit 5b7066c3 ("tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer layer") we introduced a method of filtering out messages while a bearer is being reset, to avoid that links may be re-created and come back in working state while we are still in the process of shutting them down. This solution works well, but is limited to only work with L2 media, which is insufficient with the increasing use of UDP as carrier media. We now replace this solution with a more generic one, by introducing a new flag "up" in the generic struct tipc_bearer. This field will be set and reset at the same locations as with the previous solution, while the packet filtering is moved to the generic code for the sending side. On the receiving side, the filtering is still done in media specific code, but now including the UDP bearer. Acked-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-08-18 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Wei Yongjun updates i40e to use list_move() instead of list_del() & list_add() operations. Anjali fixes an issue where the client->open call was not protected with the client instance mutex, which allowed client->close to be called before the open all completed. Catherine makes sure that the VLAN count (and stats) gets reset to 0 after reset. Jake provides two patches, first adds the needed rtnl lock around i40evf_set_interrupt_capability() since i40evf_init_task() does not hold the rtnl_lock. Second fixes an issue where users could reduce the number of channels (queues) below the current flow director filter rules targets. Dave fixes a problem where a static analysis tool generates a warning so eliminating the irrelevant check and redundant assignment for the value of enabled_tc. Avinash fixes an sync issue where the iWARP device open is called before the PCI register writes are completed, so ensure the register writes complete before exiting the setup function. Alan fixes a bug which causes RSS to continue to work after being disabled. Carolyn implements a feature change which allows using ethtool to set RDD hash options using less than four parameters if desired. Dan Carpenter cleans up a stray unlock.

If a driver is unable to maintain all current user supplied settings from ethtool (or other sources), it is not ok for a user request to succeed and silently trample over previous configuration. To that end, if you change the number of channels, it must not be allowed to reduce the number of channels (queues) below the current flow director filter rules targets. In this case, return -EINVAL when a request to reduce the number of channels would do so. In addition log a warning to the kernel buffer explaining why we failed, and report the rules which prevent us from lowering the number of channels.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== strp: Stream parser for messages This patch set introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor. This patch set adapts KCM to use the strparser. We expect that kTLS can use this mechanism also. RDS would probably be another candidate to use a common stream parsing mechanism. The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility functions, and a data ready function. The callbacks include a parse_msg function that is called to perform parsing (e.g. BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function that is called when a full message has been completed. For strparser we specify the return codes from the parser to allow the backend to indicate that control of the socket should be transferred back to userspace to handle some exceptions in the stream: The return values are: >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message 0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which can proceed to read the messages itself other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace assuming that synchronization is lost and the stream is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket) There is one issue I haven't been able to fully resolve. If parse_msg returns ESTRPIPE (wants control back to userspace) the parser may already have consumed some bytes of the message. There is no way to put bytes back into the TCP receive queue and tcp_read_sock does not allow an easy way to peek messages. In lieu of a better solution, we return ENODATA on the socket to indicate that the data stream is unrecoverable (application needs to close socket). This condition should only happen if an application layer message header is split across two skbuffs and parsing just the first skbuff wasn't sufficient to determine the that transfer to userspace is needed. This patch set contains: - strparser implementation - changes to kcm to use strparser - strparser.txt documentation v2: - Add copyright notice to C files - Remove GPL module license from strparser.c - Add report of rxpause v3: - Restore GPL module license - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL v4: - Removed unused function, changed another to be static as suggested by davem - Rewoked data_ready to be called from upper layer, no longer requires taking over socket data_ready callback as suggested by Lance Chao Tested: - Ran a KCM thrash test for 24 hours. No behavioral or performance differences observed. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
