This patch fixes two issues: 1) When forwarding on *,G mroutes that are in a vrf, the kernel was dropping information about the actual incoming interface when calling ip_mr_forward from ip_mr_input. This caused ip_mr_forward to send the multicast packet back out the incoming interface. Fix this by modifying ip_mr_forward to be handed the correctly resolved dev. 2) When a unresolved cache entry is created we store the incoming skb on the unresolved cache entry and upon mroute resolution from the user space daemon, we attempt to forward the packet. Again we were not resolving to the correct incoming device for a vrf scenario, before calling ip_mr_forward. Fix this by resolving to the correct interface and calling ip_mr_forward with the result.

For the rare case where the device runs out of free rx buffer descriptors (in case of pressure on kernel memory), and the napi handler continuously fail to refill new Rx descriptors until device rx queue totally runs out of all free rx buffers to post incoming packet, leading to a deadlock: * The device won't send interrupts since all the new Rx packets will be dropped. * The napi handler won't try to allocate new Rx descriptors since allocation is part of NAPI that's not being invoked any more The fix involves detecting this scenario and rescheduling NAPI (to refill buffers) by the keepalive/watchdog task.

Bug: "Completion context is occupied" error printout will be noticed in dmesg. This error will cause the admin command to fail, which will lead to an ena_probe() failure or a watchdog reset (depends on which admin command failed). Root cause: __ena_com_submit_admin_cmd() is the function that submits new entries to the admin queue. The function have a check that makes sure the queue is not full and the function does not override any outstanding command. It uses head and tail indexes for this check. The head is increased by ena_com_handle_admin_completion() which runs from interrupt context, and the tail index is increased by the submit function (the function is running under ->q_lock, so there is no risk of multithread increment). Each command is associated with a completion context. This context allocated before call to __ena_com_submit_admin_cmd() and freed by ena_com_wait_and_process_admin_cq_interrupts(), right after the command was completed. This can lead to a state where the head was increased, the check passed, but the completion context is still in use. Solution: Use the atomic variable ->outstanding_cmds instead of using the head and the tail indexes. This variable is safe for use since it is bumped in get_comp_ctx() in __ena_com_submit_admin_cmd() and is freed by comp_ctxt_release() Fixes: 1738cd3e ("Add a driver for Amazon Elastic Network Adapters (ENA)") Signed-off-by: Netanel Belgazal <netanel@amazon.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fixing a bug that the driver does not unmask the IO interrupts in ndo_open(): occasionally, the MSI-X interrupt (for one or more IO queues) can be masked when ndo_close() was called.

The current flow to detect admin completion is: while (command_not_completed) { if (timeout) error check_for_completion() sleep() } So in case the sleep took more than the timeout (in case the thread/workqueue was not scheduled due to higher priority task or prolonged VMexit), the driver can detect a stall even if the completion is present. The fix changes the order of this function to first check for completion and only after that check if the timeout expired.

DIM (Dynamically-tuned Interrupt Moderation) is a mechanism designed for changing the channel interrupt moderation values in order to reduce CPU overhead for all traffic types. Each iteration of the algorithm, DIM calculates the difference in throughput, packet rate and interrupt rate from last iteration in order to make a decision. DIM relies on counters for each metric. When these counters get to their type's max value they wraparound. In this case the delta between 'end' and 'start' samples is negative and when translated to unsigned integers - very high. This results in a false indication to the algorithm and might result in a wrong decision. The fix calculates the 'distance' between 'end' and 'start' samples in a cyclic way around the relevant type's max value. It can also be viewed as an absolute value around the type's max value instead of around 0. Testing show higher stability in DIM profile selection and no wraparound issues.

DIM (Dynamically-tuned Interrupt Moderation) is a mechanism designed for changing the channel interrupt moderation values in order to reduce CPU overhead for all traffic types. Until now only interrupt and packet rate were sampled. We found a scenario on which we get a false indication since a change in DIM caused more aggregation and reduced packet rate while increasing BW. We now regard a change as succesfull iff: current_BW > (prev_BW + threshold) or current_BW ~= prev_BW and current_PR > (prev_PR + threshold) or current_BW ~= prev_BW and current_PR ~= prev_PR and current_IR < (prev_IR - threshold) Where BW = Bandwidth, PR = Packet rate and IR = Interrupt rate Improvements (ConnectX-4Lx 25GbE, single RX queue, LRO off) -------------------------------------------------- packet size | before[Mb/s] | after[Mb/s] | gain | 2B | 343.4 | 359.4 | 4.5% | 16B | 2739.7 | 2814.8 | 2.7% | 64B | 9739 | 10185.3 | 4.5% | Fixes: cb3c7fd4 ("net/mlx5e: Support adaptive RX coalescing") Signed-off-by: Tal Gilboa <talgi@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>

smp_processor_id() should not be used in migration-enabled contexts. We originally thought it was OK in the specific situation of this driver, but it was wrong, and calling smp_processor_id() in a migration-enabled context prints a big fat warning when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y.

This commit removes the useless remove mvpp2_bm_cookie_{build,pool_get} functions. All what mvpp2_bm_cookie_build() was doing is compute a 32-bit value by concatenating the pool number and the CPU number... only to get the pool number re-extracted by mvpp2_bm_cookie_pool_get() later on. Instead, just get the pool number directly from RX descriptor status, and pass it to mvpp2_pool_refill() and mvpp2_rx_refill(). This has the added benefit of dropping a smp_processor_id() call in a migration-enabled context, which is wrong, and is the original motivation for making this change.

Now sctp holds read_lock when foreach sctp_ep_hashtable without disabling BH. If CPU schedules to another thread A at this moment, the thread A may be trying to hold the write_lock with disabling BH. As BH is disabled and CPU cannot schedule back to the thread holding the read_lock, while the thread A keeps waiting for the read_lock. A dead lock would be triggered by this. This patch is to fix this dead lock by calling read_lock_bh instead to disable BH when holding the read_lock in sctp_for_each_endpoint.

Once firmware indicates that a given VF is malicious and until that VF passes an FLR all bets are off - PF can't know anything is happening to the VF [since VF can't communicate anything to its PF]. But PF is currently still periodically asking device to collect statistics for the VF which might in turn fill logs by IOMMU blocking memory access done by the VF's PCI function [in the case VF has unmapped its buffers].

VF clients are configured as enforced, meaning firmware is validating the correctness of their ethertype/vid during transmission. Once txvlan is disabled, VF would start getting SKBs for transmission here vlan is on the payload - but it'll pass the packet's ethertype instead of the vid, leading to firmware declaring it as malicious.

It looks like this: Message from syslogd@flamingo at Apr 26 00:45:00 ... kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 4 They seem to coincide with net namespace teardown. The message is emitted by netdev_wait_allrefs(). Forced a kdump in netdev_run_todo, but found that the refcount on the lo device was already 0 at the time we got to the panic. Used bcc to check the blocking in netdev_run_todo. The only places where we're off cpu there are in the rcu_barrier() and msleep() calls. That behavior is expected. The msleep time coincides with the amount of time we spend waiting for the refcount to reach zero; the rcu_barrier() wait times are not excessive. After looking through the list of callbacks that the netdevice notifiers invoke in this path, it appears that the dst_dev_event is the most interesting. The dst_ifdown path places a hold on the loopback_dev as part of releasing the dev associated with the original dst cache entry. Most of our notifier callbacks are straight-forward, but this one a) looks complex, and b) places a hold on the network interface in question. I constructed a new bcc script that watches various events in the liftime of a dst cache entry. Note that dst_ifdown will take a hold on the loopback device until the invalidated dst entry gets freed.
