      tcp: support DUPACK threshold in RACK · 20b654df
      Yuchung Cheng authored 
      This patch adds support for the classic DUPACK threshold rule
(#DupThresh) in RACK.

When the number of packets SACKed is greater or equal to the
threshold, RACK sets the reordering window to zero which would
immediately mark all the unsacked packets below the highest SACKed
sequence lost. Since this approach is known to not work well with
reordering, RACK only uses it if no reordering has been observed.

The DUPACK threshold rule is a particularly useful extension to the
fast recoveries triggered by RACK reordering timer. For example
data-center transfers where the RTT is much smaller than a timer
tick, or high RTT path where the default RTT/4 may take too long.

Note that this patch differs slightly from RFC6675. RFC6675
considers a packet lost when at least #DupThresh higher-sequence
packets are SACKed.

With RACK, for connections that have seen reordering, RACK
continues to use a dynamically-adaptive time-based reordering
window to detect losses. But for connections on which we have not
yet seen reordering, this patch considers a packet lost when at
least one higher sequence packet is SACKed and the total number
of SACKed packets is at least DupThresh. For example, suppose a
connection has not seen reordering, and sends 10 packets, and
packets 3, 5, 7 are SACKed. RFC6675 considers packets 1 and 2
lost. RACK considers packets 1, 2, 4, 6 lost.

There is some small risk of spurious retransmits here due to
reordering. However, this is mostly limited to the first flight of
a connection on which the sender receives SACKs from reordering.
And RFC 6675 and FACK loss detection have a similar risk on the
first flight with reordering (it's just that the risk of spurious
retransmits from reordering was slightly narrower for those older
algorithms due to the margin of 3*MSS).

Also the minimum reordering window is reduced from 1 msec to 0
to recover quicker on short RTT transfers. Therefore RACK is more
aggressive in marking packets lost during recovery to reduce the
reordering window timeouts.

      net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: disable mq feature for "AM33xx ES1.0" devices · 9611d6d6
      Ivan Khoronzhuk authored 
      The early versions of am33xx devices, related to ES1.0 SoC revision
have errata limiting mq support. That's the same errata as
commit 7da11600 ("drivers: net: cpsw: add am335x errata workarround for
interrutps")

AM33xx Errata [1] Advisory 1.0.9
http://www.ti.com/lit/er/sprz360f/sprz360f.pdf

After additional investigation were found that drivers w/a is
propagated on all AM33xx SoCs and on DM814x. But the errata exists
only for ES1.0 of AM33xx family, limiting mq support for revisions
after ES1.0. So, disable mq support only for related SoCs and use
separate polls for revisions allowing mq.

====================
sched: refactor NOLOCK qdiscs

With the introduction of NOLOCK qdiscs, pfifo_fast performances in the
uncontended scenario degraded measurably, especially after the commit
eb82a994 ("net: sched, fix OOO packets with pfifo_fast").

This series restore the pfifo_fast performances in such scenario back the
previous level, mainly reducing the number of atomic operations required to
perform the qdisc_run() call. Even performances in the contended scenario
increase measurably.

Note: This series is on top of:

      pfifo_fast: drop unneeded additional lock on dequeue · 021a17ed
      Paolo Abeni authored 
      After the previous patch, for NOLOCK qdiscs, q->seqlock is
always held when the dequeue() is invoked, we can drop
any additional locking to protect such operation.

      sched: replace __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit with a spin lock · 96009c7d
      Paolo Abeni authored 
      So that we can use lockdep on it.
The newly introduced sequence lock has the same scope of busylock,
so it shares the same lockdep annotation, but it's only used for
NOLOCK qdiscs.

With this changeset we acquire such lock in the control path around
flushing operation (qdisc reset), to allow more NOLOCK qdisc perf
improvement in the next patch.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-05-17

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Provide a new BPF helper for doing a FIB and neighbor lookup
   in the kernel tables from an XDP or tc BPF program. The helper
   provides a fast-path for forwarding packets. The API supports
   IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS protocols, but currently IPv4 and IPv6 are
   implemented in this initial work, from David (Ahern).

2) Just a tiny diff but huge feature enabled for nfp driver by
   extending the BPF offload beyond a pure host processing offload.
   Offloaded XDP programs are allowed to set the RX queue index and
   thus opening the door for defining a fully programmable RSS/n-tuple
   filter replacement. Once BPF decided on a queue already, the device
   data-path will skip the conventional RSS processing completely,
   from Jakub.

3) The original sockmap implementation was array based similar to
   devmap. However unlike devmap where an ifindex has a 1:1 mapping
   into the map there are use cases with sockets that need to be
   referenced using longer keys. Hence, sockhash map is added reusing
   as much of the sockmap code as possible, from John.

4) Introduce BTF ID. The ID is allocatd through an IDR similar as
   with BPF maps and progs. It also makes BTF accessible to user
   space via BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID and adds exposure of the BTF data
   through BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, from Martin.

5) Enable BPF stackmap with build_id also in NMI context. Due to the
   up_read() of current->mm->mmap_sem build_id cannot be parsed.
   This work defers the up_read() via a per-cpu irq_work so that
   at least limited support can be enabled, from Song.

6) Various BPF JIT follow-up cleanups and fixups after the LD_ABS/LD_IND
   JIT conversion as well as implementation of an optimized 32/64 bit
   immediate load in the arm64 JIT that allows to reduce the number of
   emitted instructions; in case of tested real-world programs they
   were shrinking by three percent, from Daniel.

7) Add ifindex parameter to the libbpf loader in order to enable
   BPF offload support. Right now only iproute2 can load offloaded
   BPF and this will also enable libbpf for direct integration into
   other applications, from David (Beckett).

8) Convert the plain text documentation under Documentation/bpf/ into
   RST format since this is the appropriate standard the kernel is
   moving to for all documentation. Also add an overview README.rst,
   from Jesper.

9) Add __printf verification attribute to the bpf_verifier_vlog()
   helper. Though it uses va_list we can still allow gcc to check
   the format string, from Mathieu.

10) Fix a bash reference in the BPF selftest's Makefile. The '|& ...'
    is a bash 4.0+ feature which is not guaranteed to be available
    when calling out to shell, therefore use a more portable variant,
    from Joe.

11) Fix a 64 bit division in xdp_umem_reg() by using div_u64()
    instead of relying on the gcc built-in, from Björn.

12) Fix a sock hashmap kmalloc warning reported by syzbot when an
    overly large key size is used in hashmap then causing overflows
    in htab->elem_size. Reject bogus attr->key_size early in the
    sock_hash_alloc(), from Yonghong.

13) Ensure in BPF selftests when urandom_read is being linked that
    --build-id is always enabled so that test_stacktrace_build_id[_nmi]
    won't be failing, from Alexei.

14) Add bitsperlong.h as well as errno.h uapi headers into the tools
    header infrastructure which point to one of the arch specific
    uapi headers. This was needed in order to fix a build error on
    some systems for the BPF selftests, from Sirio.

15) Allow for short options to be used in the xdp_monitor BPF sample
    code. And also a bpf.h tools uapi header sync in order to fix a
    selftest build failure. Both from Prashant.

16) More formally clarify the meaning of ID in the direct packet access
    section of the BPF documentation, from Wang.
