struct xfrm_state is rather large (768 bytes here) and therefore wastes quite a lot of memory as it falls into the kmalloc-1024 slab cache, leaving 256 bytes of unused memory per XFRM state object -- a net waste of 25%. Using a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state reduces the level of internal fragmentation to a minimum. On my configuration SLUB chooses to create a slab cache covering 4 pages holding 21 objects, resulting in an average memory waste of ~13 bytes per object -- a net waste of only 1.6%. In my tests this led to memory savings of roughly 2.3MB for 10k XFRM states. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage removed from the kernel[1], just use XFRM_MAX_DEPTH as already done for the "class" array. In one case, it'll do this loop up to 5, the other caller up to 6.

Heiner Kallweit says: ==================== PCI: add two more values for PCIe Max_Read_Request_Size and initially use them in r8169 network driver In r8169 network driver I stumbled across a magic number translating to PCI MRRS size 4K. The PCI core is still missing constants for values 2K and 4K (as defined in PCI standard). So let's add these two constants and use the 4K constant in r8169. Second patch depends on the first one, therefore both patches preferrably should go through either PCI or netdev tree. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jose Abreu says: ==================== net: stmmac: Stop using hard-coded callbacks This a starting point for a cleanup and re-organization of stmmac. In this series we stop using hard-coded callbacks along the code and use instead helpers which are defined in a single place ("hwif.h"). This brings several advantages: 1) Less typing :) 2) Guaranteed function pointer check 3) More flexibility By 2) we stop using the repeated pattern of: if (priv->hw->mac->some_func) priv->hw->mac->some_func(...) I didn't check but I expect the final .ko will be bigger with this series because *all* of function pointers are checked. Anyway, I hope this can make the code more readable and more flexible now. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

While tcp_mmap() patch itself is quite small (~100 LOC), optimal support for asynchronous mmap() required better SO_RCVLOWAT behavior, and a test program to demonstrate how mmap() on TCP sockets can be used. Note that mmap() (and associated munmap()) calls are adding more pressure on per-process VM semaphore, so might not show benefit for processus with high number of threads. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages, with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures. Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid copying data without complex splice() games. Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp->copied += X) Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags are fundamentally shared and read only. If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed. Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence. mmap() wont block, regardless of socket being in blocking or non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue, mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state where no other bytes can be added into receive queue. An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD) to efficiently use mmap() On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary. Tested: mlx4 (cx-3) 40Gbit NIC, with tcp_mmap program provided in following patch. MTU set to 4168 (4096 TCP payload, 40 bytes IPv6 header, 32 bytes TCP header) Without mmap() (tcp_mmap -s) received 32768 MB (0 % mmap'ed) in 8.13342 s, 33.7961 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.034 sys:3.778, 116.333 usec per MB, 63062 c-switches received 32768 MB (0 % mmap'ed) in 8.14501 s, 33.748 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.029 sys:3.997, 122.864 usec per MB, 61903 c-switches received 32768 MB (0 % mmap'ed) in 8.11723 s, 33.8635 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.048 sys:3.964, 122.437 usec per MB, 62983 c-switches received 32768 MB (0 % mmap'ed) in 8.39189 s, 32.7552 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.038 sys:4.181, 128.754 usec per MB, 55834 c-switches With mmap() on receiver (tcp_mmap -s -z) received 32768 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 8.03083 s, 34.2278 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.024 sys:1.466, 45.4712 usec per MB, 65479 c-switches received 32768 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 7.98805 s, 34.4111 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.026 sys:1.401, 43.5486 usec per MB, 65447 c-switches received 32768 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 7.98377 s, 34.4296 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.028 sys:1.452, 45.166 usec per MB, 65496 c-switches received 32768 MB (99.9969 % mmap'ed) in 8.01838 s, 34.281 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.02 sys:1.446, 44.7388 usec per MB, 65505 c-switches Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

SO_RCVLOWAT is properly handled in tcp_poll(), so that POLLIN is only generated when enough bytes are available in receive queue, after David change (commit c7004482 "tcp: Respect SO_RCVLOWAT in tcp_poll().") But TCP still calls sk->sk_data_ready() for each chunk added in receive queue, meaning thread is awaken, and goes back to sleep shortly after. Tested: tcp_mmap test program, receiving 32768 MB of data with SO_RCVLOWAT set to 512KB -> Should get ~2 wakeups (c-switches) per MB, regardless of how many (tiny or big) packets were received. High speed (mostly full size GRO packets) received 32768 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 8.03112 s, 34.2266 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.037 sys:1.404, 43.9758 usec per MB, 65497 c-switches received 32768 MB (99.9954 % mmap'ed) in 7.98453 s, 34.4263 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.03 sys:1.422, 44.3115 usec per MB, 65485 c-switches Low speed (sender is ratelimited and sends 1-MSS at a time, so GRO is not helping) received 22474.5 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 6015.35 s, 0.0313414 Gbit, cpu usage user:0.05 sys:1.586, 72.7952 usec per MB, 44950 c-switches Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We should not delay acks if there are not enough bytes in receive queue to satisfy SO_RCVLOWAT. Since [E]POLLIN event is not going to be generated, there is little hope for a delayed ack to be useful. In fact, delaying ACK prevents sender from completing the transfer.

Applications might use SO_RCVLOWAT on TCP socket hoping to receive one [E]POLLIN event only when a given amount of bytes are ready in socket receive queue. Problem is that receive autotuning is not aware of this constraint, meaning sk_rcvbuf might be too small to allow all bytes to be stored. Add a new (struct proto_ops)->set_rcvlowat method so that a protocol can override the default setsockopt(SO_RCVLOWAT) behavior.

When the interface is down, head/tail of the descriptor ring address is set to 0 in netsec_netdev_stop(). But netsec hardware still keeps the previous descriptor ring address, so there is inconsistency between driver and hardware after interface is up at a later time. To address this inconsistency, add netsec_reset_hardware() when the interface is down. In addition, to minimize the reset process, add flag to decide whether driver loads the netsec microcode. Even if driver resets the netsec hardware, netsec microcode keeps resident on RAM, so it is ok we only load the microcode at initialization. This patch is critical for installation over network.

Pull asm-generic fixes from Arnd Bergmann: "I have one regression fix for a minor build problem after the architecture removal series, plus a rework of the barriers in the readl/writel functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya: This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing lists[1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible to serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space relative to DMA performed by that device. This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures (h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new default for better performance. For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that).

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle states. It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been tested and reviewed quite thoroughly. Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it. Specifics: - Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough. That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki, Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann). - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash). - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar). - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver (Gregory Clement). - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang). - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo Silva)" * tag 'pm-4.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (23 commits) tick-sched: avoid a maybe-uninitialized warning cpufreq: Drop cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() cpufreq: SCMI: Don't validate the frequency table twice cpufreq: CPPC: Initialize shared perf capabilities of CPUs cpufreq: armada-37xx: Fix clock leak cpufreq: CPPC: Don't set transition_latency cpufreq: ti-cpufreq: Use builtin_platform_driver() cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not include debugfs.h PM / QoS: mark expected switch fall-throughs cpuidle: Add definition of residency to sysfs documentation time: hrtimer: Use timerqueue_iterate_next() to get to the next timer nohz: Avoid duplication of code related to got_idle_tick nohz: Gather tick_sched booleans under a common flag field cpuidle: menu: Avoid selecting shallow states with stopped tick cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick time: hrtimer: Introduce hrtimer_next_event_without() time: tick-sched: Split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select() jiffies: Introduce USER_TICK_USEC and redefine TICK_USEC ...
