This patch is to add reconf_enable field in all of asoc ep and netns to indicate if they support stream reset. When initializing, asoc reconf_enable get the default value from ep reconf_enable which is from netns netns reconf_enable by default. It is also to add reconf_capable in asoc peer part to know if peer supports reconf_enable, the value is set if ext params have reconf chunk support when processing init chunk, just as rfc6525 section 5.1.1 demands.

This patch is to add a primitive based on sctp primitive frame for sending stream reconf request. It works as the other primitives, and create a SCTP_CMD_REPLY command to send the request chunk out. sctp_primitive_RECONF would be the api to send a reconf request chunk.

This patch is to add a per transport timer based on sctp timer frame for stream reconf chunk retransmission. It would start after sending a reconf request chunk, and stop after receiving the response chunk. If the timer expires, besides retransmitting the reconf request chunk, it would also do the same thing with data RTO timer. like to increase the appropriate error counts, and perform threshold management, possibly destroying the asoc if sctp retransmission thresholds are exceeded, just as section 5.1.1 describes. This patch is also to add asoc strreset_chunk, it is used to save the reconf request chunk, so that it can be retransmitted, and to check if the response is really for this request by comparing the information inside with the response chunk as well.

This patch is to add asoc strreset_outseq and strreset_inseq for saving the reconf request sequence, initialize them when create assoc and process init, and also to define Incoming and Outgoing SSN Reset Request Parameter described in rfc6525 section 4.1 and 4.2, As they can be in one same chunk as section rfc6525 3.1-3 describes, it makes them in one function.

Josef Bacik says: ==================== Rework inet_csk_get_port V3->V4: -Removed the random include of addrconf.h that is no longer needed. V2->V3: -Dropped the fastsock from the tb and instead just carry the saddrs, family, and ipv6 only flag. -Reworked the helper functions to deal with this change so I could still use them when checking the fast path. -Killed tb->num_owners as per Eric's request. -Attached a reproducer to the bottom of this email. V1->V2: -Added a new patch 'inet: collapse ipv4/v6 rcv_saddr_equal functions into one' at Hannes' suggestion. -Dropped ->bind_conflict and just use the new helper. -Fixed a compile bug from the original ->bind_conflict patch. The original description of the series follows: At some point recently the guys working on our load balancer added the ability to use SO_REUSEPORT. When they restarted their app with this option enabled they immediately hit a softlockup on what appeared to be the inet_bind_bucket->lock. Eventually what all of our debugging and discussion led us to was the fact that the application comes up without SO_REUSEPORT, shuts down which creates around 100k twsk's, and then comes up and tries to open a bunch of sockets using SO_REUSEPORT, which meant traversing the inet_bind_bucket owners list under the lock. Since this lock is needed for dealing with the twsk's and basically anything else related to connections we would softlockup, and sometimes not ever recover. To solve this problem I did what you see in Path 5/5. Once we have a SO_REUSEPORT socket on the tb->owners list we know that the socket has no conflicts with any of the other sockets on that list. So we can add a copy of the sock_common (really all we need is the recv_saddr but it seemed ugly to copy just the ipv6, ipv4, and flag to indicate if we were ipv6 only in there so I've copied the whole common) in order to check subsequent SO_REUSEPORT sockets. If they match the previous one then we can skip the expensive inet_csk_bind_conflict check. This is what eliminated the soft lockup that we were seeing. Patches 1-4 are cleanups and re-workings. For instance when we specify port == 0 we need to find an open port, but we would do two passes through inet_csk_bind_conflict every time we found a possible port. We would also keep track of the smallest_port value in order to try and use it if we found no port our first run through. This however made no sense as it would have had to fail the first pass through inet_csk_bind_conflict, so would not actually pass the second pass through either. Finally I split the function into two functions in order to make it easier to read and to distinguish between the two behaviors. I have tested this on one of our load balancing boxes during peak traffic and it hasn't fallen over. But this is not my area, so obviously feel free to point out where I'm being stupid and I'll get it fixed up and retested. Thanks, ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If we have non reuseport sockets on a tb we will set tb->fastreuseport to 0 and never set it again. Which means that in the future if we end up adding a bunch of reuseport sk's to that tb we'll have to do the expensive scan every time. Instead add the ipv4/ipv6 saddr fields to the bind bucket, as well as the family so we know what comparison to make, and the ipv6 only setting so we can make sure to compare with new sockets appropriately. Once one sk has made it onto the list we know that there are no potential bind conflicts on the owners list that match that sk's rcv_addr. So copy the sk's information into our bind bucket and set tb->fastruseport to FASTREUSESOCK_STRICT so we know we have to do an extra check for subsequent reuseport sockets and skip the expensive bind conflict check.

inet_csk_get_port does two different things, it either scans for an open port, or it tries to see if the specified port is available for use. Since these two operations have different rules and are basically independent lets split them into two different functions to make them both more readable.

This is just wasted time, we've already found a tb that doesn't have a bind conflict, and we don't drop the head lock so scanning again isn't going to give us a different answer. Instead move the tb->reuse setting logic outside of the found_tb path and put it in the success: path. Then make it so that we don't goto again if we find a bind conflict in the found_tb path as we won't reach this anymore when we are scanning for an ephemeral port.

In inet_csk_get_port we seem to be using smallest_port to figure out where the best place to look for a SO_REUSEPORT sk that matches with an existing set of SO_REUSEPORT's. However if we get to the logic if (smallest_size != -1) { port = smallest_port; goto have_port; } we will do a useless search, because we would have already done the inet_csk_bind_conflict for that port and it would have returned 1, otherwise we would have gone to found_tb and succeeded. Since this logic makes us do yet another trip through inet_csk_bind_conflict for a port we know won't work just delete this code and save us the time.

Using a Mac OSX box as a client connecting to a Linux server, we have found that when certain applications (such as 'ab'), are abruptly terminated (via ^C), a FIN is sent followed by a RST packet on tcp connections. The FIN is accepted by the Linux stack but the RST is sent with the same sequence number as the FIN, and Linux responds with a challenge ACK per RFC 5961. The OSX client then sometimes (they are rate-limited) does not reply with any RST as would be expected on a closed socket. This results in sockets accumulating on the Linux server left mostly in the CLOSE_WAIT state, although LAST_ACK and CLOSING are also possible. This sequence of events can tie up a lot of resources on the Linux server since there may be a lot of data in write buffers at the time of the RST. Accepting a RST equal to rcv_nxt - 1, after we have already successfully processed a FIN, has made a significant difference for us in practice, by freeing up unneeded resources in a more expedient fashion. A packetdrill test demonstrating the behavior: // testing mac osx rst behavior // Establish a connection 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 0.000 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 0.000 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 0.000 listen(3, 1) = 0 0.100 < S 0:0(0) win 32768 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 10> 0.100 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 5> 0.200 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 32768 0.200 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 // Client closes the connection 0.300 < F. 1:1(0) ack 1 win 32768 // now send rst with same sequence 0.300 < R. 1:1(0) ack 1 win 32768 // make sure we are in TCP_CLOSE 0.400 %{ assert tcpi_state == 7 }% Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Robert Shearman says: ==================== mpls: Packet stats This patchset records per-interface packet stats in the MPLS forwarding path and exports them using a nest of attributes root at a new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute as part of RTM_GETSTATS messages: [IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC] -> [AF_MPLS] -> [MPLS_STATS_LINK] -> struct mpls_link_stats The first patch adds the rtnl infrastructure for this, including a new callbacks to per-AF ops of fill_stats_af and get_stats_af_size. The second patch records MPLS stats and makes use of the infrastructure to export them. The rtnl infrastructure could also be used to export IPv6 stats in the future.

Having MPLS packet stats is useful for observing network operation and for diagnosing network problems. In the absence of anything better, RFC2863 and RFC3813 are used for guidance for which stats to expose and the semantics of them. In particular rx_noroutes maps to in unknown protos in RFC2863. The stats are exposed to userspace via AF_MPLS attributes embedded in the IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute of RTM_GETSTATS messages. All the introduced fields are 64-bit, even error ones, to ensure no overflow with long uptimes. Per-CPU counters are used to avoid cache-line contention on the commonly used fields. The other fields have also been made per-CPU for code to avoid performance problems in error conditions on the assumption that on some platforms the cost of atomic operations could be more expensive than sending the packet (which is what would be done in the success case). If that's not the case, we could instead not use per-CPU counters for these fields. Only unicast and non-fragment are exposed at the moment, but other counters can be exposed in the future either by adding to the end of struct mpls_link_stats or by additional netlink attributes in the AF_MPLS IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC nested attribute.

Add the functionality for including address-family-specific per-link stats in RTM_GETSTATS messages. This is done through adding a new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute under which address family attributes are nested and then the AF-specific attributes can be further nested. This follows the model of IFLA_AF_SPEC on RTM_*LINK messages and it has the advantage of presenting an easily extended hierarchy. The rtnl_af_ops structure is extended to provide AFs with the opportunity to fill and provide the size of their stats attributes. One alternative would have been to provide AFs with the ability to add attributes directly into the RTM_GETSTATS message without a nested hierarchy. I discounted this approach as it increases the rate at which the 32 attribute number space is used up and it makes implementation a little more tricky for stats dump resuming (at the moment the order in which attributes are added to the message has to match the numeric order of the attributes). Another alternative would have been to register per-AF RTM_GETSTATS handlers. I discounted this approach as I perceived a common use-case to be getting all the stats for an interface and this approach would necessitate multiple requests/dumps to retrieve them all.

The function stmmac_dt_phy provides several possibilities for initializing plat->mdio_node, all of which have the effect of increasing the reference count of the assigned value. This field is not updated elsewhere, so the value is live until the end of the lifetime of plat (devm_allocated), just after the end of stmmac_remove_config_dt. Thus, add an of_node_put on plat->mdio_node in stmmac_remove_config_dt. It is possible that the field mdio_node is never initialized, but of_node_put is NULL-safe, so it is also safe to call of_node_put in that case.

This patch part reverts fd2a0437 and e858fae2 which introduced a subtle change in how the virtio_net flags are derived from the SKBs ip_summed field. With the above commits, the flags are set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID when ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thus treating it differently to ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE, which should be the same. Further, the virtio spec 1.0 / CS04 explicitly says that VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID must not be set by the driver.

This makes diagnosis of hw checksumming bugs really annoying. Fix from Hayes Wang. 3) VXLAN route lookup does not take the source and destination ports into account, which means IPSEC policies cannot be matched properly.

Fix from Basil Gunn. 10) Action GET operations in the packet scheduler can erroneously bump the reference count of the entry, making it unreleasable. Fix from Jamal Hadi Salim.

Tests showed that when whole bandwidth is consumed, the latency for various kind of traffic can reach high values. With saturated link (e.g. with iperf from target to host) simple ping could take significant amount of time. BQL proved to improve this situation when implemented in mvneta driver. Measurements of ping latency for 3 link speeds: Speed | Latency w/o BQL | Latency with BQL 10 | 7-14 ms | 3.5 ms 100 | 2-12 ms | 0.6 ms 1000 | often timeout | up to 2ms Decreasing latency as above result in sligt performance cost - 4kpps (-1.4%) when pushing 64B packets via two bridged interfaces of Armada 38x. For 1500B packets in the same setup, the mpstat tool showed +8% of CPU occupation (default affinity, second CPU idle). Even though this cost seems reasonable to take, considering other improvements. This commit adds byte queue limit mechanism for the mvneta driver. Signed-off-by: Marcin Wojtas <mw@semihalf.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A maximum allowed number of descriptors for flushing at once due to MVNETA_TXQ_UPDATE_REG(q) reqisters limitation, is 255.
