When setting up ILA in a router we noticed that the the encapsulation
is invoked twice: once in the route input path and again upon route
output. To resolve this we add a flag set_csum_neutral for the
ila_update_ipv6_locator. If this flag is set and the checksum
neutral bit is also set we assume that checksum-neutral translation
has already been performed and take no further action. The
flag is set only in ila_output path. The flag is not set for ila_input and
ila_xlat.

RFC 5961 advises to only accept RST packets containing a seq number
matching the next expected seq number instead of the whole receive
window in order to avoid spoofing attacks.

However, this situation is not optimal in the case SACK is in use at the
time the RST is sent. I recently run into a scenario in which packet
losses were high while uploading data to a server, and userspace was
willing to frequently terminate connections by sending a RST. In
this case, the ACK sent on the receiver side (rcv_nxt) is frozen waiting
for a lost packet retransmission and SACK blocks are used to let the
client continue uploading data. At some point later on, the client sends
the RST (snd_nxt), which matches the next expected seq number of the
right-most SACK block on the receiver side which is going forward
receiving data.

In this scenario, as RFC 5961 defines, the RST SEQ doesn't match the
frozen main ACK at receiver side and thus gets dropped and a challenge
ACK is sent, which gets usually lost due to network conditions. The main
consequence is that the connection stays alive for a while even if it
made sense to accept the RST. This can get really bad if lots of
connections like this one are created in few seconds, allocating all the
resources of the server easily.

For security reasons, not all SACK blocks are checked (there could be a
big amount of SACK blocks => acceptable SEQ numbers). Furthermore, it
wouldn't make sense to check for RST in blocks other than the right-most
received one because the sender is not expected to be sending new data
after the RST. For simplicity, only up to the 4 most recently updated
SACK blocks (selective_acks[4] field) are compared to find the
right-most block, as usually those are the ones with bigger probability
to contain it.

This patch was tested in a 3.18 kernel and probed to improve the
situation in the scenario described above.

net: sched: faster stats gathering

A while back, I sent one RFC patch using lockless stats gathering
on 64bit arches.

This patch series does it more cleanly, using a seqcount.

Since qdisc/class stats are written at dequeue() time,
we can ask the dequeue to change the seqcount, so that
stats readers can avoid taking the root qdisc lock,
and instead the typical read_seqcount_{begin|retry} guarded
loop.

This does not change fast path costs, as the seqcount
increments are not more expensive than the bit manipulation,
and allows readers to not freeze the fast path anymore.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Large tc dumps (tc -s {qdisc|class} sh dev ethX) done by Google BwE host
agent [1] are problematic at scale :

For each qdisc/class found in the dump, we currently lock the root qdisc
spinlock in order to get stats. Sampling stats every 5 seconds from
thousands of HTB classes is a challenge when the root qdisc spinlock is
under high pressure. Not only the dumps take time, they also slow
down the fast path (queue/dequeue packets) by 10 % to 20 % in some cases.

An audit of existing qdiscs showed that sch_fq_codel is the only qdisc
that might need the qdisc lock in fq_codel_dump_stats() and
fq_codel_dump_class_stats()

In v2 of this patch, I now use the Qdisc running seqcount to provide
consistent reads of packets/bytes counters, regardless of 32/64 bit arches.

I also changed rate estimators to use the same infrastructure
so that they no longer need to lock root qdisc lock.

be2net: patch set

Hi David, the following patch set contains three non-critical fixes that
can go into the net-next tree.

Patch 1 fixes the logic for provisioning queue pairs on VFs to take into
account the limit on number of TXQs too as in some profiles the number
of TXQs is less than that of RXQs.

Patch 2 enables WoL support from shutdown on Skyhawk.

Patch 3 enhances the logic for provisioning queue pairs on VFs on
SR-IOV over multi-partition configs. Each PF (partition) on a port has to
compute the number of RSS tables it's VFs can use.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, we do not distribute queue resources to enable RSS for VFs
in multi-channel/partition configurations.
Fix this by having each PF(SRIOV capable) calculate it's share of the
15 RSS Policy Tables available per port before provisioning resources for
all the VFs.
This  proportional share calculation is done based on division of the
PF's MAX VFs with the Total MAX VFs on that port. It also needs to
learn about the no: of NIC PFs on the port and subtract that from
the 15 RSS Policy Tables on the port.

Skyhawk does support wake-up from ACPI shutdown state - S5, provided the
platform supports it (like Auxiliary power source etc). The changes listed
below are done to fix this.

1) There's no need to defer the HW configuration of WOL to be_suspend().
Remove this in be_suspend() and move it to be_set_wol() ethtool function
so it is configured directly in the context of ethtool. This automatically
takes care of the shutdown case.

2) The driver incorrectly uses WOL_CAP field in the FW response to
get_acpi_wol_cap() command, to determine if WOL is enabled. Instead the
driver must rely on the macaddr field in the response to infer WOL state.

3) In be_get_config() during init, if we find that WOL is enabled in FW,
call pci_enable_wake() to enable pmcsr.pme_en bit. This is needed to
support persistent WOL configuration provided by the FW in some platforms.

4) Remove code in be_set_wol() that writes to PCICFG_PM_CONTROL_OFFSET
to set pme_en bit; pci_enable_wake() sets that.

This patch series is intended to relax this -
the recently submitted firmware is intended to be forward/backward

and so VFs would only be required of having the same major faspath HSI in

     it as malicious.

One of the goals of the vf's first message to the PF [acquire]
is to learn about the number of resources available to it [macs, vlans,
etc.]. This is done via negotiation - the VF requires a set of resources,
which the PF either approves or disaproves and sends a smaller set of
resources as alternative. In this later case, the VF is then expected to
either abort the probe or re-send the acquire message with less
required resources.

While this infrastructure exists since the initial submision of qed
SRIOV support, it's in fact completely inoperational - PF isn't really
looking into the resources the VF has asked for and is never going to
reply to the VF that it lacks resources.

This patch addresses this flow, fixing it and allowing the PF and VF
to actually agree on a set of resources.

Current driver require an exact match between VF and PF storm firmware;
Any difference would fail the VF acquire message, causing the VF probe

While there's still dependencies between the two, the recent FW submission
has relaxed the match requirement - instead of an exact match, there's now
a 'fastpath' HSI major/minor scheme, where VFs and PFs that match in their
major number can co-exist even if their minor is different.

In order to accomadate this change some changes in the vf-start init flow
had to be made, as the VF start ramrod now has to be sent only after PF
learns which fastpath HSI its VF is requiring.

Note: Tom Herbert posted almost same patch 3 months back, but for
different reasons.

The reasons we want to get rid of this spin_trylock() are :

1) Under high qdisc pressure, the spin_trylock() has almost no
chance to succeed.

2) We loop multiple times in softirq handler, eventually reaching
the max retry count (10), and we schedule ksoftirqd.

Since we want to adhere more strictly to ksoftirqd being waked up in
the future (https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/), better avoid spurious
wakeups.

3) calls to __netif_reschedule() dirty the cache line containing
q->next_sched, slowing down the owner of qdisc.

4) RT kernels can not use the spin_trylock() here.

With help of busylock, we get the qdisc spinlock fast enough, and
the trylock trick brings only performance penalty.

Depending on qdisc setup, I observed a gain of up to 19 % in qdisc
performance (1016600 pps instead of 853400 pps, using prio+tbf+fq_codel)

("mpstat -I SCPU 1" is much happier now)

We don't stop rx polling socket during rx processing, this will lead
unnecessary wakeups from under layer net devices (E.g
sock_def_readable() form tun). Rx will be slowed down in this
way. This patch avoids this by stop polling socket during rx
processing. A small drawback is that this introduces some overheads in
light load case because of the extra start/stop polling, but single
netperf TCP_RR does not notice any change. In a super heavy load case,
e.g using pktgen to inject packet to guest, we get about ~8.8%
improvement on pps:

before: ~1240000 pkt/s
after:  ~1350000 pkt/s

alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().

A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workitem viz
(&db_wq->wk.work which maps to check_db_timeout) is involved
in normal device operation. WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to guarantee
forward progress under memory pressure, which is a requirement here.
Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary.

flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
becomes empty.
