Similar to 80ba92fa ("codel: add ce_threshold attribute") After EDT adoption, it became easier to implement DCTCP-like CE marking. In many cases, queues are not building in the network fabric but on the hosts themselves. If packets leaving fq missed their Earliest Departure Time by XXX usec, we mark them with ECN CE. This gives a feedback (after one RTT) to the sender to slow down and find better operating mode. Example : tc qd replace dev eth0 root fq ce_threshold 2.5ms Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

FQ pacing guarantees that paced packets queued by one flow do not add head-of-line blocking for other flows. After TCP GSO conversion, increasing limit_output_bytes to 1 MB is safe, since this maps to 16 skbs at most in qdisc or device queues. (or slightly more if some drivers lower {gso_max_segs|size}) We still can queue at most 1 ms worth of traffic (this can be scaled by wifi drivers if they need to) Tested: # ethtool -c eth0 | egrep "tx-usecs:|tx-frames:" # 40 Gbit mlx4 NIC tx-usecs: 16 tx-frames: 16 # tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq # for f in {1..10};do netperf -P0 -H lpaa24,6 -o THROUGHPUT;done Before patch: 27711 26118 27107 27377 27712 27388 27340 27117 27278 27509 After patch: 37434 36949 36658 36998 37711 37291 37605 36659 36544 37349 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tcp_tso_should_defer() first heuristic is to not defer if last send is "old enough". Its current implementation uses jiffies and its low granularity. TSO autodefer performance should not rely on kernel HZ :/ After EDT conversion, we have state variables in nanoseconds that can allow us to properly implement the heuristic. This patch increases TSO chunk sizes on medium rate flows, especially when receivers do not use GRO or similar aggregation. It also reduces bursts for HZ=100 or HZ=250 kernels, making TCP behavior more uniform.

The mv88e6161 would sometime fail to probe with a timeout waiting for the switch to complete an operation. This operation is supposed to clear the statistics counters. However, due to a read/modify/write, without the needed mask, the operation actually carried out was more random, with invalid parameters, resulting in the switch not responding. We need to preserve the histogram mode bits, so apply a mask to keep them.

Andrew Lunn says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Support more SERDES interfacxes Currently the SERDES interfaces for ports 9 and 10 on the mv88e6390x are supported, allowing upto 10G. However, when unused, these SERDES interfaces can be used by some of the lower ports for 1000Base-X. The tricky bit here is ordering. The SERDES have to become free from ports 9 or 10 before they can be used with lower ports. Normally, this would happen only when these ports would be configured up, which is too late. So at probe time, defaulting ports 9 and 10 to 1000BaseX frees them for use with lower ports. If they are actually needed, they will be taken back when port 9 and 10 goes up. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Andrew Lunn authored
The 6390X family has 8 SERDES interfaces. This allows ports 9 and 10 to support up to 10Gbps using 4 SERDES interfaces. However, when lower speeds are used, which need fewer SERDES interfaces, the unused SERDES interfaces can be used by ports 2-8. The hardware defaults to ports 9 and 10 having all 4 SERDES interfaces assigned to them. This only gets changed when the interface is configured after what the SFP supports has been determined, or the 10G PHY completes auto-neg. For hardware designs which limit ports 9 and 10 to one or two SERDES interfaces, and place SFPs on the lower interfaces, this is too late. Those ports with SFP should not wait until ports 9/10 are up in order to get access to the SERDES interface. So change the default configuration when the driver is initialised. Configure ports 9 and 10 to 1000BaseX, so they use a single SERDES interface, freeing up the others. They can steal them back if they need them.

Andrew Lunn says: ==================== net: phy: convert advertise and supported to linkmode This is the last part in converting phylib to make use of a linux bitmap, not a u32, to represent links modes. This will allow support for PHYs > 1Gbps, which need to use link modes represented by a bit > 32. A number of MAC and PHY drivers need changes to support this. However the previous two patchesets reduced the number somewhat, the helpers which were introduced have been modified instead of the actual drivers. The follow on patches then make use of the extra bits, adding support for more link modes. Given how invasive this change is, i expect the build is broken for some architectures i did not test. I will fixup the breakage as fast as i can. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When a link failure is detected locally, the link is reset, the flag link->in_session is set to false, and a RESET_MSG with the 'stopping' bit set is sent to the peer. The purpose of this bit is to inform the peer that this endpoint just is going down, and that the peer should handle the reception of this particular RESET message as a local failure. This forces the peer to accept another RESET or ACTIVATE message from this endpoint before it can re-establish the link. This again is necessary to ensure that link session numbers are properly exchanged before the link comes up again. If a failure is detected locally at the same time at the peer endpoint this will do the same, which is also a correct behavior. However, when receiving such messages, the endpoints will not distinguish between 'stopping' RESETs and ordinary ones when it comes to updating session numbers. Both endpoints will copy the received session number and set their 'in_session' flags to true at the reception, while they are still expecting another RESET from the peer before they can go ahead and re-establish. This is contradictory, since, after applying the validation check referred to below, the 'in_session' flag will cause rejection of all such messages, and the link will never come up again. We now fix this by not only handling received RESET/STOPPING messages as a local failure, but also by omitting to set a new session number and the 'in_session' flag in such cases.

Currently, the broadcast retransmission algorithm is using the 'prev_retr' field in struct tipc_link to time stamp the latest broadcast retransmission occasion. This helps to restrict retransmission of individual broadcast packets to max once per 10 milliseconds, even though all other criteria for retransmission are met. We now move this time stamp to the control block of each individual packet, and remove other limiting criteria. This simplifies the retransmission algorithm, and eliminates any risk of logical errors in selecting which packets can be retransmitted.

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: sched: indirect tc block cb registration John says: This patchset introduces an alternative to egdev offload by allowing a driver to register for block updates when an external device (e.g. tunnel netdev) is bound to a TC block. Drivers can track new netdevs or register to existing ones to receive information on such events. Based on this, they may register for block offload rules using already existing functions. The patchset also implements this new indirect block registration in the NFP driver to allow the offloading of tunnel rules. The use of egdev offload (which is currently only used for tunnel offload) is subsequently removed. RFC v2 -> PATCH - removed embedded tracking function from indir block register (now up to driver to clean up after itself) - refactored NFP code due to recent submissions - removed priv list clean function in NFP (list should be cleared by indirect block unregisters) RFC v1->v2: - free allocated owner struct in block_owner_clean function - add geneve type helper function - move test stub in NFP (v1 patch 2) to full tunnel offload implementation via indirect blocks (v2 patches 3-8) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Recent changes to NFP mean that stats updates from fw to driver no longer require a flow lookup and (because egdev offload has been removed) the ingress netdev for a lookup is now always known. Remove obsolete code in a flow lookup that matches on host context and that allows for a netdev to be NULL.
