This helps cover some of the issues I just ran into with missing a driver *sigh*. Chanves in v3: - drop the TI Keystone NETCP driver from the COMPILE_TEST additions Changes in v2: - allow FEC to build outside of CONFIG_ARM/ARM64 by defining a layout of registers, this is not meant to run, so this is not a real issue if we are not matching the correct register layout ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch makes use of build_skb() throughout in driver's receieve data path [HW gro flow and non HW gro flow]. With this, driver can build skb directly from the page segments which are already mapped to the hardware instead of allocating new SKB via netdev_alloc_skb() and memcpy the data which is quite costly. This really improves performance (keeping same or slight gain in rx throughput) in terms of CPU utilization which is significantly reduced [almost half] in non HW gro flow where for every incoming MTU sized packet driver had to allocate skb, memcpy headers etc. Additionally in that flow, it also gets rid of bunch of additional overheads [eth_get_headlen() etc.] to split headers and data in the skb.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-05-17 This series contains updates to ixgbe, ixgbevf and ice drivers. Cathy Zhou resolves sparse warnings by using the force attribute. Mauro S M Rodrigues fixes a bug where IRQs were not freed if a PCI error recovery system opts to remove the device which causes ixgbe_io_error_detected() to return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT before calling ixgbe_close_suspend() which results in IRQs not freed and crashing when the remove handler calls pci_disable_device(). Resolved this by calling ixgbe_close_suspend() before evaluating the PCI channel state. Pavel Tatashin releases the rtnl_lock during the call to ixgbe_close_suspend() to allow scaling if device_shutdown() is multi-threaded. Emil modifies ixgbe to not validate the MAC address during a reset, unless the MAC was set on the host so that the VF will get a new MAC address every time it reloads. Also updates ixgbevf to set hw->mac.perm_addr in order to retain the custom MAC on a reset. Anirudh updates the ice NVM read/erase/update AQ commands to align with the latest specification. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Antoine Tenart says: ==================== net: mvpp2: phylink conversion This series convert the Marvell PPv2 driver to phylink (models the MAC to PHY link). One important point is the PPv2 driver supports two probe modes: device tree and ACPI. This series only brings phylink support for the device tree mode, as the ACPI one will need further work. Still, the driver should be working as before when using ACPI. This split should be temporary, and was discussed with Marcin (in Cc.) who added ACPI support to the driver. Also as the SFP cages on both DB boards can be considered as non-wired. We thus chose not to describe those SFP cages and we use fixed-link. The rest of the series uses phylink to add support for 1000BaseX and 2500BaseX modes in the PPv2 driver. To do this, two patches are needed in the common PHY framework (patches 3 and 4). The last 4 patches modify the device tree to use the new PPv2 functionalities. The series has been tested for the device tree mode on the 7040-db, 8040-db and 8040-mcbin boards, to ensure all the interface where working as expected. @Dave: patches 7 to 10 should go through the mvebu tree (Gregory in Cc.) to avoid any conflict with the other mvebu dt patches taken during this cycle. The series is based on today's net-next. Since v2: - Removed the SFP description from the DB boards, as their SFP cages are wired properly. We now use fixed-link. - Because of this rework, split the series in two, so that the SFP part is reviewed separately. - Small fixes in the phylink patch. - Rebased on the latest net-next branch. Since v1: - Chose a different approach to the SFP changes, as the previous ones weren't valid and reworked both BD boards device trees. - Misc fixes. - Added Kishon's acked-by on one patch. - Rebaed on latest net-next branch. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Convert the PPv2 driver to implement phylink helpers, and use phylink in DT mode. The other mode supported is ACPI, which will need further work in order to be entirely compatible with phylink. The MAC and GoP configuration functions were completely moved to fit into the phylink helpers. When a PHY is always present between the MAC and the physical port, phylink only is used, but when this is not the case (the MAC directly is connected to the physical port) the link IRQ is used to detect changes in the link state and call phylink_mac_change. The ACPI mode do not uses phylink as of now, and the changes shouldn't impact its use. Signed-off-by:

Yuchung Cheng says: ==================== tcp: default RACK loss recovery This patch set implements the features correspond to the draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-03 version of the RACK draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/slides-101-tcpm-update-on-tcp-rack-00 1. SACK: implement equivalent DUPACK threshold heuristic in RACK to replace existing RFC6675 recovery (tcp_mark_head_lost). 2. Non-SACK: simplify RFC6582 NewReno implementation 3. RTO: apply RACK's time-based approach to avoid spuriouly marking very recently sent packets lost. 4. with (1)(2)(3), make RACK the exclusive fast recovery mechanism to mark losses based on time on S/ACK. Tail loss probe and F-RTO remain enabled by default as complementary mechanisms to send probes in CA_Open and CA_Loss states. The probes would solicit S/ACKs to trigger RACK time-based loss detection. All Google web and internal servers have been running RACK-only mode (4) for a while now. a/b experiments indicate RACK/TLP on average reduces recovery latency by 10% compared to RFC6675. RFC6675 is default-off now but can be enabled by disabling RACK (sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery=0) for unseen issues. ==================== Signed-off-by:

An RTO event indicates the head has not been acked for a long time after its last (re)transmission. But the other packets are not necessarily lost if they have been only sent recently (for example due to application limit). This patch would prohibit marking packets sent within an RTT to be lost on RTO event, using similar logic in TCP RACK detection. Normally the head (SND.UNA) would be marked lost since RTO should fire strictly after the head was sent. An exception is when the most recent RACK RTT measurement is larger than the (previous) RTO. To address this exception the head is always marked lost. Congestion control interaction: since we may not mark every packet lost, the congestion window may be more than 1 (inflight plus 1). But only one packet will be retransmitted after RTO, since tcp_retransmit_timer() calls tcp_retransmit_skb(...,segs=1). The connection still performs slow start from one packet (with Cubic congestion control). This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web servers, and showed a reduction of 2% in (spurious) retransmits post timeout (SlowStartRetrans), and correspondingly reduced DSACKs (DSACKIgnoredOld) by 7%.

Previously when TCP times out, it first updates cwnd and ssthresh, marks packets lost, and then updates congestion state again. This was fine because everything not yet delivered is marked lost, so the inflight is always 0 and cwnd can be safely set to 1 to retransmit one packet on timeout. But the inflight may not always be 0 on timeout if TCP changes to mark packets lost based on packet sent time. Therefore we must first mark the packet lost, then set the cwnd based on the (updated) inflight. This is not a pure refactor. Congestion control may potentially break if it uses (not yet updated) inflight to compute ssthresh. Fortunately all existing congestion control modules does not do that. Also it changes the inflight when CA_LOSS_EVENT is called, and only westwood processes such an event but does not use inflight. This change has two other minor side benefits: 1) consistent with Fast Recovery s.t. the inflight is updated first before tcp_enter_recovery flips state to CA_Recovery. 2) avoid intertwining loss marking with state update, making the code more readable.

The previous approach for the lost and retransmit bits was to wipe the slate clean: zero all the lost and retransmit bits, correspondingly zero the lost_out and retrans_out counters, and then add back the lost bits (and correspondingly increment lost_out). The new approach is to treat this very much like marking packets lost in fast recovery. We don’t wipe the slate clean. We just say that for all packets that were not yet marked sacked or lost, we now mark them as lost in exactly the same way we do for fast recovery. This fixes the lost retransmit accounting at RTO time and greatly simplifies the RTO code by sharing much of the logic with Fast Recovery. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for the classic DUPACK threshold rule (#DupThresh) in RACK. When the number of packets SACKed is greater or equal to the threshold, RACK sets the reordering window to zero which would immediately mark all the unsacked packets below the highest SACKed sequence lost. Since this approach is known to not work well with reordering, RACK only uses it if no reordering has been observed. The DUPACK threshold rule is a particularly useful extension to the fast recoveries triggered by RACK reordering timer. For example data-center transfers where the RTT is much smaller than a timer tick, or high RTT path where the default RTT/4 may take too long. Note that this patch differs slightly from RFC6675. RFC6675 considers a packet lost when at least #DupThresh higher-sequence packets are SACKed. With RACK, for connections that have seen reordering, RACK continues to use a dynamically-adaptive time-based reordering window to detect losses. But for connections on which we have not yet seen reordering, this patch considers a packet lost when at least one higher sequence packet is SACKed and the total number of SACKed packets is at least DupThresh. For example, suppose a connection has not seen reordering, and sends 10 packets, and packets 3, 5, 7 are SACKed. RFC6675 considers packets 1 and 2 lost. RACK considers packets 1, 2, 4, 6 lost. There is some small risk of spurious retransmits here due to reordering. However, this is mostly limited to the first flight of a connection on which the sender receives SACKs from reordering. And RFC 6675 and FACK loss detection have a similar risk on the first flight with reordering (it's just that the risk of spurious retransmits from reordering was slightly narrower for those older algorithms due to the margin of 3*MSS). Also the minimum reordering window is reduced from 1 msec to 0 to recover quicker on short RTT transfers. Therefore RACK is more aggressive in marking packets lost during recovery to reduce the reordering window timeouts. Signed-off-by:
