When newlink creation fails at device-registration, the port->count is decremented twice. Francesco Ruggeri (fruggeri@arista.com) found this issue in Macvlan and the same exists in IPvlan driver too. While fixing this issue I noticed another issue of missing unregister in case of failure, so adding it to the fix which is similar to the macvlan fix by Francesco in commit 30837960 ("macvlan: fix failure during registration v3") Reported-by: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@arista.com> Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> CC: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> CC: Eric W.

This patch overloads the DSA master netdev, aka CPU Ethernet MAC to also include switch-side statistics, which is useful for debugging purposes, when the switch is not properly connected to the Ethernet MAC (duplex mismatch, (RG)MII electrical issues etc.). We accomplish this by retaining the original copy of the master netdev's ethtool_ops, and just overload the 3 operations we care about: get_sset_count, get_strings and get_ethtool_stats so as to intercept these calls and call into the original master_netdev ethtool_ops, plus our own. We take this approach as opposed to providing a set of DSA helper functions that would retrive the CPU port's statistics, because the entire purpose of DSA is to allow unmodified Ethernet MAC drivers to be used as CPU conduit interfaces, therefore, statistics overlay in such drivers would simply not scale. The new ethtool -S <iface> output would therefore look like this now: <iface> statistics p<2 digits cpu port number>_<switch MIB counter names> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

TCP prequeue goal is to defer processing of incoming packets to user space thread currently blocked in a recvmsg() system call. Intent is to spend less time processing these packets on behalf of softirq handler, as softirq handler is unfair to normal process scheduler decisions, as it might interrupt threads that do not even use networking. Current prequeue implementation has following issues : 1) It only checks size of the prequeue against sk_rcvbuf It was fine 15 years ago when sk_rcvbuf was in the 64KB vicinity. But we now have ~8MB values to cope with modern networking needs. We have to add sk_rmem_alloc in the equation, since out of order packets can definitely use up to sk_rcvbuf memory themselves. 2) Even with a fixed memory truesize check, prequeue can be filled by thousands of packets. When prequeue needs to be flushed, either from sofirq context (in tcp_prequeue() or timer code), or process context (in tcp_prequeue_process()), this adds a latency spike which is often not desirable. I added a fixed limit of 32 packets, as this translated to a max flush time of 60 us on my test hosts. Also note that all packets in prequeue are not accounted for tcp_mem, since they are not charged against sk_forward_alloc at this point. This is probably not a big deal. Note that this might increase LINUX_MIB_TCPPREQUEUEDROPPED counts, which is misnamed, as packets are not dropped at all, but rather pushed to the stack (where they can be either consumed or dropped) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

mac80211 (which will be the first user of the fq.h) recently started to support software A-MSDU aggregation. It glues skbuffs together into a single one so the backlog accounting needs to be more fine-grained. To avoid backlog sorting logic duplication split it up for re-use.

struct mlx5e_channel_param is a large structure that is allocated on the stack of mlx5e_open_channels, and with a recent change it has grown beyond the warning size for the maximum stack that a single function should use: mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c: In function 'mlx5e_open_channels': mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c:1325:1: error: the frame size of 1072 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] The function is already using dynamic allocation and is not in a fast path, so the easiest workaround is to use another kzalloc for allocating the channel parameters.

There's no need to calculate rps hash if it was not enabled. So this patch export rps_needed and check it before trying to get rps hash.

The fixes in this series depend on the newly introduced txstamp_ack in net-next. I will make relevant patches against net after getting some feedback. ~ The test results are based on the recently posted net fix: "tcp: Fix SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK when handling dup acks" One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2). One of our use case is at the webserver. The webserver tracks the HTTP2 response latency by measuring when the webserver sends the first byte to the socket till the TCP ACK of the last byte is received. In the cases where we don't have client side measurement, measuring from the server side is the only option. In the cases we have the client side measurement, the server side data can also be used to justify/cross-check-with the client side data. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB. When MSG_EOR is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb containing the last byte of the userland's msg. The eor bit will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future. The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call. This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case. The followup patches will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases. One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant. Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit everywhere. Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.

Remove the redundant check for sk->sk_tsflags in tcp_tx_timestamp. tcp_tx_timestamp() receives the tsflags as a parameter. As a result the "sk->sk_tsflags || tsflags" is redundant, since tsflags already includes sk->sk_tsflags plus overrides from control messages.

I accidentally replaced BH disabling by preemption disabling in SNMP_ADD_STATS64() and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS64() on 32bit builds. For 64bit stats on 32bit arch, we really need to disable BH, since the "struct u64_stats_sync syncp" might be manipulated both from process and BH contexts.

SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE is tested in sock_wake_async() so that a SIGIO signal is sent when needed. tcp_sendmsg() clears the bit. tcp_poll() sets the bit when stream is not writeable. We can avoid two atomic operations by first checking if socket is actually interested in the FASYNC business (most sockets in real applications do not use AIO, but select()/poll()/epoll()) This also removes one cache line miss to access sk->sk_wq->flags in tcp_sendmsg() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-04-27 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Alex Duyck cleans up the feature flags since they are becoming pretty "massive", the primary change being that we now build our features list around hw_encap_features. Added support for IPIP and SIT offloads, which should improvement in throughput for IPIP and SIT tunnels with the offload enabled. Mitch adds support for configuring RSS on behalf of the VFs, which removes the burden of dealing with different hardware interfaces from the VF drivers and improves future compatibility. Fix to ensure that we do not panic by checking that the vsi_res pointer is valid before dereferencing it, after which we can drink beer and eat peanuts. Shannon does come housekeeping in i40e_add_fdir_ethtool() in preparation for more cloud filter work. Added flexibility to the nvmupdate facility by adding the ability to specify an AQ event opcode to wait on after Exec_AQ request. Michal adds device capability which defines if an update is available and if a security check is needed during the update process. Kamil just adds a device id to support X722 QSFP+ device. Greg fixes an issue where a mirror rule ID may be zero, so do not return invalid parameter when the user passes in a zero for a rule ID. Adds support to steer packets to VSIs by VLAN tag alone while being in promiscuous mode for multicast and unicast MAC addresses. Jesse fixes the driver from offloading the VLAN tag into the skb any time there was a VLAN tag and the hardware stripping was enabled, to making sure it is enabled before put_tag. v2: Dropped patch 8 ("i40e: Allow user to change input set mask for flow director") while Kiran reworks a more generalized solution based on feedback from David Miller. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

sd->input_queue_head is incremented for each processed packet in process_backlog(), and read from other cpus performing Out Of Order avoidance in get_rps_cpu() Moving this field in a separate cache line keeps it mostly hot for the cpu in process_backlog(), as other cpus will only read it. In a stress test, process_backlog() was consuming 6.80 % of cpu cycles, and the patch reduced the cost to 0.65 % Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This adds support for W5500 chip. W5500 has similar register and memory organization with W5100 and W5200. There are a few important differences listed below but it is still possible to share common code with W5100 and W5200. * W5500 register and memory are organized by multiple blocks. Each one is selected by 16bits offset address and 5bits block select bits. But the existing register access operations take u16 address. This change extends the addess by u32 address and put offset address to lower 16bits and block select bits to upper 16bits. This change also adds the offset addresses for socket register and TX/RX memory blocks to the driver private data structure in order to reduce conditional switches for each chip. * W5500 has the different register offset for socket interrupt mask register. Newly added internal functions w5100_enable_intr() and w5100_disable_intr() take care of the diffrence. * W5500 has the different register offset for retry time-value register. But this register is only used to verify that the reset value is correctly read at initialization. So move the verification to w5100_hw_reset() which already does different things for different chips.
