Ethernet drivers implementing both {GS}RXFH and {GS}CHANNELS ethtool ops incorrectly allow SCHANNELS when it would conflict with the settings from SRXFH. This occurs because it is not possible for drivers to understand whether their Rx flow indirection table has been configured or is in the default state. In addition, drivers currently behave in various ways when increasing the number of Rx channels. Some drivers will always destroy the Rx flow indirection table when this occurs, whether it has been set by the user or not. Other drivers will attempt to preserve the table even if the user has never modified it from the default driver settings. Neither of these situation is desirable because it leads to unexpected behavior or loss of user configuration. The correct behavior is to simply return -EINVAL when SCHANNELS would conflict with the current Rx flow table settings. However, it should only do so if the current settings were modified by the user. If we required that the new settings never conflict with the current (default) Rx flow settings, we would force users to first reduce their Rx flow settings and then reduce the number of Rx channels. This patch proposes a solution implemented in net/core/ethtool.c which ensures that all drivers behave correctly. It checks whether the RXFH table has been configured to non-default settings, and stores this information in a private netdev flag. When the number of channels is requested to change, it first ensures that the current Rx flow table is not going to assign flows to now disabled channels.

Edward Cree says: ==================== Local Checksum Offload Re-tested VxLAN; everything else is unchanged from v4. Changes from v4: * Rebased series to fix conflicts with vxlan/vxlan6 merge. Changes from v3: * Fixed inverted checksum values introduced in v3. * Don't mangle zero checksums in GRE. * Clear skb->encapsulation in iptunnel_handle_offloads when not using CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, lest drivers incorrectly interpret that as a request for inner checksum offload. Changes from v2: * Added support for IPv4 GRE. * Split out 'always set up for checksum offload' into its own patch. * Removed csum_help from iptunnel_handle_offloads. * Rewrote LCO callers to only fold once. * Simplified nocheck handling. Changes from v1: * Enabled support in more encapsulation protocols. I think it now covers everything except GRE. * Wrote up some documentation covering TX checksum offload, LCO and RCO. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The arithmetic properties of the ones-complement checksum mean that a correctly checksummed inner packet, including its checksum, has a ones complement sum depending only on whatever value was used to initialise the checksum field before checksumming (in the case of TCP and UDP, this is the ones complement sum of the pseudo header, complemented). Consequently, if we are going to offload the inner checksum with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we can compute the outer checksum based only on the packed data not covered by the inner checksum, and the initial value of the inner checksum field.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp/dccp: better use of ephemeral ports Big servers have bloated bind table, making very hard to succeed ephemeral port allocations, without special containers/namespace tricks. This patch series extends the strategy added in commit 07f4c900 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"). Since ports used by connect() are much likely to be shared among them, we give a hint to both bind() and connect() to keep the crowds separated if possible. Of course, if on a specific host an application needs to allocate ~30000 ports using bind(), it will still be able to do so. Same for ~30000 connect() to a unique 2-tuple (dst addr, dst port) New implemetation is also more friendly to softirqs and reschedules. v2: rebase after TCP SO_REUSEPORT changes ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Implement strategy used in __inet_hash_connect() in opposite way : Try to find a candidate using odd ports, then fallback to even ports. We no longer disable BH for whole traversal, but one bucket at a time. We also use cond_resched() to yield cpu to other tasks if needed. I removed one indentation level and tried to mirror the loop we have in __inet_hash_connect() and variable names to ease code maintenance.

In commit 07f4c900 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"), I added a very simple heuristic, so that we got better chances to use even ports, and allow bind() users to have more available slots. It gave nice results, but with more than 200,000 TCP sessions on a typical server, the ~30,000 ephemeral ports are still a rare resource. I chose to go a step further, by looking at all even ports, and if none was available, fallback to odd ports. The companion patch does the same in bind(), but in opposite way. I've seen exec times of up to 30ms on busy servers, so I no longer disable BH for the whole traversal, but only for each hash bucket. I also call cond_resched() to be gentle to other tasks.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== net: mitigating kmem_cache free slowpath This patchset is the first real use-case for kmem_cache bulk _free_. The use of bulk _alloc_ is NOT included in this patchset. The full use have previously been posted here [1]. The bulk free side have the largest benefit for the network stack use-case, because network stack is hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB slowpath when freeing SKBs, due to the amount of outstanding SKBs. This is solved by using the new API kmem_cache_free_bulk(). Introduce new API napi_consume_skb(), that hides/handles bulk freeing for the caller. The drivers simply need to use this call when freeing SKBs in NAPI context, e.g. replacing their calles to dev_kfree_skb() / dev_consume_skb_any(). Driver ixgbe is the first user of this new API.

There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq. Thus, bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency. Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced. The napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it is called from netpoll.

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion queue (softnet_data.completion_queue). These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ in function net_tx_action(). Take advantage of this a use the skb defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context. For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls __dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed. This due to netpoll can call from IRQ context. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Discovered that network stack were hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB slowpath when freeing SKBs. Doing bulk free with kmem_cache_free_bulk can speedup this slowpath. NAPI context is a bit special, lets take advantage of that for bulk free'ing SKBs. In NAPI context we are running in softirq, which gives us certain protection. A softirq can run on several CPUs at once. BUT the important part is a softirq will never preempt another softirq running on the same CPU. This gives us the opportunity to access per-cpu variables in softirq context. Extend napi_alloc_cache (before only contained page_frag_cache) to be a struct with a small array based stack for holding SKBs. Introduce a SKB defer and flush API for accessing this. Introduce napi_consume_skb() as replacement for e.g. dev_consume_skb_any() when running in NAPI context. A small trick to handle/detect if we are called from netpoll is to see if budget is 0. In that case, we need to invoke dev_consume_skb_irq(). Joint work with Alexander Duyck.
