Jiri Benc says: ==================== openvswitch: add IPv6 tunneling support This builds on the previous work that added IPv6 support to lwtunnels and adds IPv6 tunneling support to ovs. To use IPv6 tunneling, there needs to be a metadata based tunnel net_device created and added to the ovs bridge. Currently, only vxlan is supported by the kernel, with geneve to follow shortly. There's no need nor intent to add a support for this into the vport-vxlan (etc.) compat layer. v3: dropped the last two patches added in v2. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Store tunnel protocol (AF_INET or AF_INET6) in sw_flow_key. This field now also acts as an indicator whether the flow contains tunnel data (this was previously indicated by tun_key.u.ipv4.dst being set but with IPv6 addresses in an union with IPv4 ones this won't work anymore). The new field was added to a hole in sw_flow_key.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-03 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf, some of which are to resolve more Red Hat bugzilla issues. Jiang Liu updates the i40e and i40evf drivers to use numa_mem_id() instead of numa_node_id() to get the nearest node with memory which better supports memoryless nodes. Anjali fixes an issue from Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>, to resolve a memory leak in X722 RSS configuration path, where we should free the memory allocated before exiting. Shannon modifies the drivers to ensure we have the spinlocks before we clear the ARQ and ASQ management registers. In addition, we widen the locked portion insert a sanity check to ensure we are working with safe register values. Mitch fixes an issue where under certain circumstances, we can get an extra VF_RESOURCES message from the PF driver at runtime. When this occurs, we need to parse it because our VSI may have changed and that will affect the relationship with the PF driver. But this parsing also blows away our current MAC address, so resolve the issue by restoring the current MAC address from the netdev struct after we parse the resource message. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Mark Craske says: ==================== Improve ASIX RX memory allocation error handling The ASIX RX handler algorithm is weak on error handling. There is a design flaw in the ASIX RX handler algorithm because the implementation for handling RX Ethernet frames for the DUB-E100 C1 can have Ethernet frames spanning multiple URBs. This means that payload data from more than 1 URB is sometimes needed to fill the socket buffer with a complete Ethernet frame. When the URB with the start of an Ethernet frame is received then an attempt is made to allocate a socket buffer. If the memory allocation fails then the algorithm sets the buffer pointer member to NULL and the function exits (no crash yet). Subsequently, the RX hander is called again to process the next URB which assumes there is a socket buffer available and the kernel crashes when there is no buffer. This patchset implements an improvement to the RX handling algorithm to avoid a crash when no memory is available for the socket buffer. The patchset will apply cleanly to the net-next master branch but the created kernel has not been tested. The driver was tested on ARM kernels v3.8 and v3.14 for a commercial product. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Avoid a loss of synchronisation of the Ethernet Data header 32-bit word due to a failure to get a netdev socket buffer. The ASIX RX handling algorithm returned 0 upon a failure to get an allocation of a netdev socket buffer. This causes the URB processing to stop which potentially causes a loss of synchronisation with the Ethernet Data header 32-bit word. Therefore, subsequent processing of URBs may be rejected due to a loss of synchronisation. This may cause additional good Ethernet frames to be discarded along with outputting of synchronisation error messages. Implement a solution which checks whether a netdev socket buffer has been allocated before trying to copy the Ethernet frame into the netdev socket buffer. But continue to process the URB so that synchronisation is maintained. Therefore, only a single Ethernet frame is discarded when no netdev socket buffer is available.

When RX Ethernet frames span multiple URB socket buffers, the data stream may suffer a discontinuity which will cause the current Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer to be incomplete. This frame needs to be discarded instead of appending unrelated data from the current URB socket buffer to the Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer. This avoids creating a corrupted Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer. A discontinuity can occur when the previous URB socket buffer held an incomplete Ethernet frame due to truncation or a URB socket buffer containing the end of the Ethernet frame was missing. Therefore, add a sanity test for when an Ethernet frame spans multiple URB socket buffers to check that the remaining bytes of the currently received Ethernet frame point to a good Data header 32-bit word of the next Ethernet frame. Upon error, reset the remaining bytes variable to zero and discard the current netdev socket buffer. Assume that the Data header is located at the start of the current socket buffer and attempt to process the next Ethernet frame from there. This avoids unnecessarily discarding a good URB socket buffer that contains a new Ethernet frame.

The code is checking that the Ethernet frame will fit into a netdev allocated socket buffer within the constraints of MTU size, Ethernet header length plus VLAN header length. The original code was checking rx->remaining each loop of the while loop that processes multiple Ethernet frames per URB and/or Ethernet frames that span across URBs. rx->remaining decreases per while loop so there is no point in potentially checking multiple times that the Ethernet frame (remaining part) will fit into the netdev socket buffer. The modification checks that the size of the Ethernet frame will fit the netdev socket buffer before allocating the netdev socket buffer. This avoids grabbing memory and then deciding that the Ethernet frame is too big and then freeing the memory.

Tidy-up the Data header 32-bit word synchronisation logic in asix_rx_fixup_internal() by removing redundant logic tests. The code is looking at the following cases of the Data header 32-bit word that is present before each Ethernet frame: a) all 32 bits of the Data header word are in the URB socket buffer b) first 16 bits of the Data header word are at the end of the URB socket buffer c) last 16 bits of the Data header word are at the start of the URB socket buffer eg. split_head = true Note that the lifetime of rx->split_head exists outside of the function call and is accessed per processing of each URB. Therefore, split_head being true acts on the next URB to be processed. To check for b) the offset will be 16 bits (2 bytes) from the end of the buffer then indicate split_head is true. To check for c) split_head must be true because the first 16 bits have been found. To check for a) else c) Note that the || logic of the old code included the state (skb->len - offset == sizeof(u16) && rx->split_head) which is not possible because the split_head cannot be true whilst checking for b). This is because the split_head indicates that the first 16 bits have been found and that is not possible whilst checking for the first 16 bits. Therefore simplify the logic.

The Data header synchronisation is easier to understand if the variables "remaining" and "size" are renamed. Therefore, the lifetime of the "remaining" variable exists outside of asix_rx_fixup_internal() and is used to indicate any remaining pending bytes of the Ethernet frame that need to be obtained from the next socket buffer. This allows an Ethernet frame to span across multiple socket buffers. "size" is now local to asix_rx_fixup_internal() and contains the size read from the Data header 32-bit word. Add "copy_length" to hold the number of the Ethernet frame bytes (maybe a part of a full frame) that are to be copied out of the socket buffer.

The current ongoing effort to dump existing cBPF seccomp filters back to user space requires to hold the pre-transformed instructions like we do in case of socket filters from sk_attach_filter() side, so they can be reloaded in original form at a later point in time by utilities such as criu. To prepare for this, simply extend the bpf_prog_create_from_user() API to hold a flag that tells whether we should store the original or not. Also, fanout filters could make use of that in future for things like diag. While fanout filters already use bpf_prog_destroy(), move seccomp over to them as well to handle original programs when present.

The current code invokes hang reset in case of error interrupt. We should hang reset only in case of tx timeout. This because of the way hang reset is implemented in firmware. Hang reset takes more firmware resources than soft reset. Adaptor does not generate error interrupt in case of tx timeout. Hang reset only in case of tx timeout, in .ndo_tx_timeout.

It is possible to have an equivalent solution that does not use 2 sockets.

Using the value of RDS_TCP_DEFAULT_BUFSIZE (128K) clobbers efficient use of TSO because it inflates the size_goal that is computed in tcp_sendmsg/tcp_sendpage and skews packet latency, and the default values for these parameters actually results in significantly better performance. In request-response tests using rds-stress with a packet size of 100K with 16 threads (test parameters -q 100000 -a 256 -t16 -d16) between a single pair of IP addresses achieves a throughput of 6-8 Gbps. Without this patch, throughput maxes at 2-3 Gbps under equivalent conditions on these platforms. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit f711a6ae ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: Always create a new rds_sock for an incoming connection.") modified rds-tcp so that an incoming SYN would ignore an existing "client" TCP connection which had the local port set to the transient port. The motivation for ignoring the existing "client" connection in f711a6ae was to avoid race conditions and an endless duel of reconnect attempts triggered by a restart/abort of one of the nodes in the TCP connection. However, having separate sockets for active and passive sides is avoidable, and the simpler model of a single TCP socket for both send and receives of all RDS connections associated with that tcp socket makes for easier observability. We avoid the race conditions from f711a6ae by attempting reconnects in rds_conn_shutdown if, and only if, the (new) c_outgoing bit is set for RDS_TRANS_TCP. The c_outgoing bit is initialized in __rds_conn_create(). A side-effect of re-using the client rds_connection for an incoming SYN is the potential of encountering duelling SYNs, i.e., we have an outgoing RDS_CONN_CONNECTING socket when we get the incoming SYN. The logic to arbitrate this criss-crossing SYN exchange in rds_tcp_accept_one() has been modified to emulate the BGP state machine: the smaller IP address should back off from the connection attempt.

The XGBE_LINK bit is used just to determine whether to call the netif_carrier_on/off functions. Rather than define and use this bit, just call the functions. The netif_carrier_ok function can be used in place of checking the XGBE_LINK bit in the future. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
