It's quite common on some systems to have more CPUs enlisted as "possible", than there are (and could ever be) present/online CPUs. In such cases, perf_buffer creationg will fail due to inability to create perf event on missing CPU with error like this: libbpf: failed to open perf buffer event on cpu #16: No such device This patch fixes the logic of perf_buffer__new() to ignore CPUs that are missing or currently offline. In rare cases where user explicitly listed specific CPUs to connect to, behavior is unchanged: libbpf will try to open perf event buffer on specified CPU(s) anyways.

This logic is re-used for parsing a set of online CPUs. Having it as an isolated piece of code working with input string makes it conveninent to test this logic as well.

Jakub Sitnicki says: ==================== This change has been suggested by Martin Lau [0] during a review of a related patch set that extends reuseport tests [1]. Patches 1 & 2 address a warning due to unrecognized section name from libbpf when running reuseport tests. We don't want to carry this warning into test_progs. Patches 3-8 massage the reuseport tests to ease the switch to test_progs framework. The intention here is to show the work. Happy to squash these, if needed. Patches 9-10 do the actual move and conversion to test_progs. Output from a test_progs run after changes pasted below.

The tests were originally written in abort-on-error style. With the switch to test_progs we can no longer do that. So at the risk of not cleaning up some resource on failure, we now return to the caller on error. That said, failure inside one test should not affect others because we run setup/cleanup before/after every test.

After Spectre 2 fix via 290af866 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config") most major distros use BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configuration these days which compiles out the BPF interpreter entirely and always enables the JIT. Also given recent fix in e1608f3f ("bpf: Avoid setting bpf insns pages read-only when prog is jited"), we additionally avoid fragmenting the direct map for the BPF insns pages sitting in the general data heap since they are not used during execution. Latter is only needed when run through the interpreter. Since both x86 and arm64 JITs have seen a lot of exposure over the years, are generally most up to date and maintained, there is more downside in !BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configurations to have the interpreter enabled by default rather than the JIT. Add a ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT config which archs can use to set the bpf_jit_{enable,kallsyms} to 1. Back in the days the bpf_jit_kallsyms knob was set to 0 by default since major distros still had /proc/kallsyms addresses exposed to unprivileged user space which is not the case anymore. Hence both knobs are set via BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON which is set to 'y' in case of BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON or ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT.

Allow for audit messages to be emitted upon BPF program load and unload for having a timeline of events. The load itself is in syscall context, so additional info about the process initiating the BPF prog creation can be logged and later directly correlated to the unload event. The only info really needed from BPF side is the globally unique prog ID where then audit user space tooling can query / dump all info needed about the specific BPF program right upon load event and enrich the record, thus these changes needed here can be kept small and non-intrusive to the core.

When a TCP socket is created, sk->sk_state is initialized twice as TCP_CLOSE in sock_init_data() and tcp_init_sock(). The tcp_init_sock() is always called after the sock_init_data(), so it is not necessary to update sk->sk_state in the tcp_init_sock(). Before v2.1.8, the code of the two functions was in the inet_create(). In the patch of v2.1.8, the tcp_v4/v6_init_sock() were added and the code of initialization of sk->state was duplicated.

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: introduce variable window congestion control We improve thoughput greatly by introducing a variety of the Reno congestion control algorithm at the link level. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
-
Jon Maloy authored
We introduce a simple variable window congestion control for links. The algorithm is inspired by the Reno algorithm, covering both 'slow start', 'congestion avoidance', and 'fast recovery' modes. - We introduce hard lower and upper window limits per link, still different and configurable per bearer type. - We introduce a 'slow start theshold' variable, initially set to the maximum window size. - We let a link start at the minimum congestion window, i.e. in slow start mode, and then let is grow rapidly (+1 per rceived ACK) until it reaches the slow start threshold and enters congestion avoidance mode. - In congestion avoidance mode we increment the congestion window for each window-size number of acked packets, up to a possible maximum equal to the configured maximum window. - For each non-duplicate NACK received, we drop back to fast recovery mode, by setting the both the slow start threshold to and the congestion window to (current_congestion_window / 2). - If the timeout handler finds that the transmit queue has not moved since the previous timeout, it drops the link back to slow start and forces a probe containing the last sent sequence number to the sent to the peer, so that this can discover the stale situation. This change does in reality have effect only on unicast ethernet transport, as we have seen that there is no room whatsoever for increasing the window max size for the UDP bearer. For now, we also choose to keep the limits for the broadcast link unchanged and equal. This algorithm seems to give a 50-100% throughput improvement for messages larger than MTU.

When we increase the link tranmsit window we often observe the following scenario: 1) A STATE message bypasses a sequence of traffic packets and arrives far ahead of those to the receiver. STATE messages contain a 'peers_nxt_snt' field to indicate which was the last packet sent from the peer. This mechanism is intended as a last resort for the receiver to detect missing packets, e.g., during very low traffic when there is no packet flow to help early loss detection. 3) The receiving link compares the 'peer_nxt_snt' field to its own 'rcv_nxt', finds that there is a gap, and immediately sends a NACK message back to the peer. 4) When this NACKs arrives at the sender, all the requested retransmissions are performed, since it is a first-time request. Just like in the scenario described in the previous commit this leads to many redundant retransmissions, with decreased throughput as a consequence. We fix this by adding two more conditions before we send a NACK in this sitution. First, the deferred queue must be empty, so we cannot assume that the potential packet loss has already been detected by other means. Second, we check the 'peers_snd_nxt' field only in probe/ probe_reply messages, thus turning this into a true mechanism of last resort as it was really meant to be.

When we increase the link send window we sometimes observe the following scenario: 1) A packet #N arrives out of order far ahead of a sequence of older packets which are still under way. The packet is added to the deferred queue. 2) The missing packets arrive in sequence, and for each 16th of them an ACK is sent back to the receiver, as it should be. 3) When building those ACK messages, it is checked if there is a gap between the link's 'rcv_nxt' and the first packet in the deferred queue. This is always the case until packet number #N-1 arrives, and a 'gap' indicator is added, effectively turning them into NACK messages. 4) When those NACKs arrive at the sender, all the requested retransmissions are done, since it is a first-time request. This sometimes leads to a huge amount of redundant retransmissions, causing a drop in max throughput. This problem gets worse when we in a later commit introduce variable window congestion control, since it drops the link back to 'fast recovery' much more often than necessary. We now fix this by not sending any 'gap' indicator in regular ACK messages. We already have a mechanism for sending explicit NACKs in place, and this is sufficient to keep up the packet flow.

Dan Murphy says: ==================== Fix Tx/Rx FIFO depth for DP83867 The DP83867 supports both the RGMII and SGMII modes. The Tx and Rx FIFO depths are configurable in these modes but may not applicable for both modes. When the device is configured for RGMII mode the Tx FIFO depth is applicable and for SGMII mode both Tx and Rx FIFO depth settings are applicable. When the driver was originally written only the RGMII device was available and there were no standard fifo-depth DT properties. The patchset converts the special ti,fifo-depth property to the standard tx-fifo-depth property while still allowing the ti,fifo-depth property to be set as to maintain backward compatibility. In addition to this change the rx-fifo-depth property support was added and only written when the device is configured for SGMII mode. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This code changes the TI specific ti,fifo-depth to the common tx-fifo-depth property. The tx depth is applicable for both RGMII and SGMII modes of operation. rx-fifo-depth was added as well but this is only applicable for SGMII mode. So in summary if RGMII mode write tx fifo depth only if SGMII mode write both rx and tx fifo depths If the property is not populated in the device tree then set the value to the default values.

This patch introduces a sysctl knob "net.ipv4.tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save" that disables TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default. Other parts of TCP metrics cache, e.g. rtt, cwnd, remain unchanged. As modern networks becoming more and more dynamic, TCP metrics cache today often causes more harm than benefits. For example, the same IP address is often shared by different subscribers behind NAT in residential networks. Even if the IP address is not shared by different users, caching the slow-start threshold of a previous short flow using loss-based congestion control (e.g. cubic) often causes the future longer flows of the same network path to exit slow-start prematurely with abysmal throughput. Caching ssthresh is very risky and can lead to terrible performance. Therefore it makes sense to make disabling ssthresh caching by default and opt-in for specific networks by the administrators. This practice also has worked well for several years of deployment with CUBIC congestion control at Google.

It's a better way to get netns from asoc and ep base, comparing to calling sock_net(). This patch is to replace them. v1->v2: - no change.

The Nokia GPON module can hold tx-fault active while it is initialising which can take up to 60s. Avoid this causing the module to be declared faulty after the SFP MSA defined non-cooled module timeout.

The variable rc is assigned with a value that is never read and it is re-assigned a new value later on. The assignment is redundant and can be removed. Clean up multiple occurrances of this pattern.
