While running: while :; do iperf -c <HOST> -P 4; done, transmit timeouts are regularly reported. With the tx ring dumping in place, we can see that all entries are in use, and the hardware has finished transmitting these packets. However, the driver has not reclaimed these ring entries. This can occur if the interrupt handler is invoked at the wrong moment - eg: CPU0 CPU1 fec_enet_tx() interrupt, IEVENT = FEC_ENET_TXF FEC_ENET_TXF cleared napi_schedule_prep() napi_complete() The result is that we clear the transmit interrupt, but we don't trigger any cleaning of the transmit ring. Instead, use a different strategy: - When receiving a transmit or receive interrupt, disable both tx and rx interrupts, but do not acknowledge them. Schedule a napi poll. Don't loop. - When we are polled, read IEVENT, acknowledging the pending transmit and receive interrupts, before then going on to process the appropriate rings. This allows us to avoid the race, and has a number of other advantages: - we cut down on the number of transmit interrupts we have to process. - we only look at the rings which have pending events. - we gain additional throughput: the iperf total bandwidth increases from about 180Mbps to 240Mbps: [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 68.1 MBytes 57.0 Mbits/sec [ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 72.4 MBytes 60.5 Mbits/sec [ 4] 0.0-10.1 sec 76.1 MBytes 63.5 Mbits/sec [ 6] 0.0-10.1 sec 71.9 MBytes 59.9 Mbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.1 sec 288 MBytes 241 Mbits/sec Acked-by: Fugang Duan <B38611@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

Setting the pause parameters causes a running network interface to be restarted. However, the restart forces the FEC into half-duplex mode, whether or not the remote end is in half-duplex mode. Misconfigured duplex mode is a known source of problems on a link. Fix this by always preserving the duplex mode on configuration changes.

The iMX6 gigabit FEC does not support half-duplex gigabit operation. Phys attacked to the FEC may support this, and we currently do nothing to disable this feature.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Improvements and applications of packet flow hash in transmit path This patch series includes some patches which improve and make use of skb->hash in the transmit path. What is included: - Infrastructure to save a precomputed hash in the sock structure. For connected TCP and UDP sockets we only need to compute the flow hash once and not once for every packet. - Call skb_get_hash in get_xps_queue and __skb_tx_hash. This eliminates the awkward access to skb->sk->sk_hash in the lower transmit path. - Move UDP source port generation into a common function in udp.h This implementation is mostly based on vxlan_src_port. - Use non-zero IPv6 flow labels in flow_dissector as port information for flow hash calculation. - Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit (per RFC 6438). - Don't repeatedly try to compute an L4 hash in skb_get_hash if we've already tried to find one in software stack calculation. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Add sw_hash flag to skbuff to indicate that skb->hash was computed from flow_dissector. This flag is checked in skb_get_hash to avoid repeatedly trying to compute the hash (ie. in the case that no L4 hash can be computed).

Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression. Automatic flow labels disabled: TCP_RR: 86.53% CPU utilization 127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies 1.40498e+06 tps UDP_RR: 90.70% CPU utilization 118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies 1.50309e+06 tps Automatic flow labels enabled: TCP_RR: 85.90% CPU utilization 128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies 1.40051e+06 UDP_RR 92.61% CPU utilization 115/164/236 90/95/99% latencies 1.4687e+06 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch implements the receive side to support RFC 6438 which is to use the flow label as an ECMP hash. If an IPv6 flow label is set in a packet we can use this as input for computing an L4-hash. There should be no need to parse any transport headers in this case. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch adds udp_flow_src_port function which is intended to be a common function that UDP tunnel implementations call to set the source port. The source port is chosen so that a hash over the outer headers (IP addresses and UDP ports) acts as suitable hash for the flow of the encapsulated packet. In this manner, UDP encapsulation works with RSS and ECMP based wrt the inner flow. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Tom Herbert authored
For a connected socket we can precompute the flow hash for setting in skb->hash on output. This is a performance advantage over calculating the skb->hash for every packet on the connection. The computation is done using the common hash algorithm to be consistent with computations done for packets of the connection in other states where thers is no socket (e.g. time-wait, syn-recv, syn-cookies). This patch adds sk_txhash to the sock structure. inet_set_txhash and ip6_set_txhash functions are added which are called from points in TCP and UDP where socket moves to established state. skb_set_hash_from_sk is a function which sets skb->hash from the sock txhash value. This is called in UDP and TCP transmit path when transmitting within the context of a socket. Tested: ran super_netperf with 200 TCP_RR streams over a vxlan interface (in this case skb_get_hash called on every TX packet to create a UDP source port). Before fix: 95.02% CPU utilization 154/256/505 90/95/99% latencies 1.13042e+06 tps Time in functions: 0.28% skb_flow_dissect 0.21% __skb_get_hash After fix: 94.95% CPU utilization 156/254/485 90/95/99% latencies 1.15447e+06 Neither __skb_get_hash nor skb_flow_dissect appear in perf Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Support for Wake-on-LAN using Magic Packet with or without SecureOn password is implemented doing the following: - setting the password to the relevant UniMAC registers - flagging the device as a wakeup source for the system, as well as its Wake-on-LAN interrupt - prepare the hardware for entering WoL mode - enabling the MPD interrupt to wake us The Device Tree binding documentation is also reflected to specify the third optional Wake-on-LAN interrupt line.

Implement the hardware recommended suspend/resume procedure for SYSTEMPORT. We leverage the previous factoring work such that we can logically break all suspend/resume operations into disctint RX and TX code paths.

Erik Hugne says: ==================== tipc: link state processing improvements Message delivery is separated from the link state processing, and we fix a bug in receive-path triggered acks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
-
Erik Hugne authored
Link state acks triggered from the receive path is done before the last received packet have been processed by the link layer. The effect of this is that the last received packet will not be included in the ack. This causes problems if the link window is set to TIPC_MIN_LINK_WIN, where the ack interval will be equal to the link tolerance, and the link enters a stop-and-go behavior. We move the ack logic to after link state processing, just before the packet is delivered to higher layers.

Always store in snt_synack the time at which the server received the first client SYN and attempted to send the first SYNACK. Recent commit aa27fc50 ("tcp: tcp_v[46]_conn_request: fix snt_synack initialization") resolved an inconsistency between IPv4 and IPv6 in the initialization of snt_synack. This commit brings back the idea from 843f4a55 (tcp: use tcp_v4_send_synack on first SYN-ACK), which was going for the original behavior of snt_synack from the commit where it was added in 9ad7c049 ("tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side") in v3.1. In addition to being simpler (and probably a tiny bit faster), unconditionally storing the time of the first SYNACK attempt has been useful because it allows calculating a performance metric quantifying how long it took to establish a passive TCP connection.
