This patch adds capability to configure DCB on i40e network interfaces using Intel XL710 adapter firmware APIs. By default all VSIs are only enabled for the default traffic class enabled by firmware for any given PF. The driver would query the firmware for the traffic classes that are enabled for the port and reconfigure the LAN VSI to match to the port traffic class settings. All other VSIs are only enabled for the default traffic class settings for now. The driver registers and listens to firmware events that may require change in the DCB settings. It may reconfigure the VSI settings based on these events. This patch exposes IEEE DCBNL interfaces for the i40e driver to allow any application to query the DCB settings on the adapter.

Intel XL710 series of adapters support QoS as per the IEEE 802.1 DCB (Data Center Bridging) standard. This is supported in conjuction with: - Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) - IEEE 802.1Qaz - Priority Flow Control (PFC) - IEEE 802.1Qbb - DCB eXchange Protocol (DCBX) - IEEE 802.1Qaz On Intel XL710 adapters DCBX is performed by the adapter firmware. The firmware runs DCBX in willing mode and configures the port as per the DCB settings recommended by it's link partner. By default in absence of any DCBX; firmware would configure the port with a single traffic class and all of the port bandwith will be allocated to that traffic class. This patch adds functions and calls to support querying and configuring DCB using firmware APIs.

The i40e hardware was generating some inconsistent results when using current programming methods. This refactor fixes the inconsistencies that were preventing clean unloads of the driver, and moves the queues for handling flow director errors into their own hardware VSI. This patch also implements a corrected version of the basic ethtool add ntuple rule, which will disable the driver's automatic flow programming. A future patch adds remove/replay/list support for ntuple.

Hence, when we call net_generic() and request vxlan_net_id, we seem to access garbage at that point in time. In setup_net() where we set up a newly allocated network namespace, we traverse the list of pernet ops ... list_for_each_entry(ops, &pernet_list, list) { error = ops_init(ops, net); if (error < 0) goto out_undo; } ... and loopback_net_init() is invoked first here, so in the middle of setup_net() we get this notification in vxlan. As currently we only care about devices that unregister, move access through net_generic() there. Fix is based on Cong Wang's proposal, but only changes what is needed here. It sucks a bit as we only work around the actual cure: right now it seems the only way to check if a netns actually finished traversing all init ops would be to check if it's part of net_namespace_list. But that I find quite expensive each time we go through a notifier callback. Anyway, did a couple of tests and it seems good for now.

Flavio Leitner authored
The RFC 3810 defines two type of messages for multicast listeners. The "Current State Report" message, as the name implies, refreshes the *current* state to the querier. Since the querier sends Query messages periodically, there is no need to retransmit the report. On the other hand, any change should be reported immediately using "State Change Report" messages. Since it's an event triggered by a change and that it can be affected by packet loss, the rfc states it should be retransmitted [RobVar] times to make sure routers will receive timely. Currently, we are sending "Current State Reports" after DAD is completed. Before that, we send messages using unspecified address (::) which should be silently discarded by routers. This patch changes to send "State Change Report" messages after DAD is completed fixing the behavior to be RFC compliant and also to pass TAHI IPv6 testsuite.

If there is no explicit MIU extension announced at connection time, we must use the default one and not the one announced at LLCP link establishement time. * A pn544 EEPROM config update. Some of the currently EEPROM configured values are overwriting the firmware ones while other should not be set by the driver itself. * Some NFC digital stack fixes and improvements. Asynchronous functions are better documented, RF technologies and CRC functions are set upon PSL_REQ reception, and a few minor bugs are fixed. * Minor and miscelaneous pn533, mei_phy and port100 fixes." For the ath bits, Kalle says: "Janusz added Kconfig option for DFS. The DFS code was there already, but after fixes to mac80211 we can now enable it. Bartosz added a runtime firmware feature flag to disable P2P. Our 10.1 firmware branch doesn't support P2P and ath10k can now disable that. He also added a limit for how many clients can connect to ath10k AP. Michal fixed WEP shared authentication, in case someone still uses it. And I added firmware debug log to help the firmware engineers." Along with that is a small batch of ath9k updates and a few other bits here and there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Michael Dalton says: ==================== virtio-net: mergeable rx buffer size auto-tuning The virtio-net device currently uses aligned MTU-sized mergeable receive packet buffers. Network throughput for workloads with large average packet size can be improved by posting larger receive packet buffers. However, due to SKB truesize effects, posting large (e.g, PAGE_SIZE) buffers reduces the throughput of workloads that do not benefit from GRO and have no large inbound packets. This patchset introduces virtio-net mergeable buffer size auto-tuning, with buffer sizes ranging from aligned MTU-size to PAGE_SIZE. Packet buffer size is chosen based on a per-receive queue EWMA of incoming packet size. To unify mergeable receive buffer memory allocation and improve SKB frag coalescing, all mergeable buffer memory allocation is migrated to per-receive queue page frag allocators. The per-receive queue mergeable packet buffer size is exported via sysfs, and the network device sysfs layer has been extended to add support for device-specific per-receive queue sysfs attribute groups. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 2613af0e ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to MTU-size, introducing a single-stream regression for benchmarks with large average packet size. There is no single optimal buffer size for all workloads. For workloads with packet size <= MTU bytes, MTU + virtio-net header-sized buffers are preferred as larger buffers reduce the TCP window due to SKB truesize. However, single-stream workloads with large average packet sizes have higher throughput if larger (e.g., PAGE_SIZE) buffers are used. This commit auto-tunes the mergeable receiver buffer packet size by choosing the packet buffer size based on an EWMA of the recent packet sizes for the receive queue. Packet buffer sizes range from MTU_SIZE + virtio-net header len to PAGE_SIZE. This improves throughput for large packet workloads, as any workload with average packet size >= PAGE_SIZE will use PAGE_SIZE buffers. These optimizations interact positively with recent commit ba275241 ("virtio-net: coalesce rx frags when possible during rx"), which coalesces adjacent RX SKB fragments in virtio_net. The coalescing optimizations benefit buffers of any size. Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs with all offloads & vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a single 4 CPU cgroup cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes in the system will not be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Trunk includes SKB rx frag coalescing. net-next w/ virtio_net before 2613af0e (PAGE_SIZE bufs): 14642.85Gb/s net-next (MTU-size bufs): 13170.01Gb/s net-next + auto-tune: 14555.94Gb/s Jason Wang also reported a throughput increase on mlx4 from 22Gb/s using MTU-sized buffers to about 26Gb/s using auto-tuning.

The virtio-net driver currently uses netdev_alloc_frag() for GFP_ATOMIC mergeable rx buffer allocations. This commit migrates virtio-net to use per-receive queue page frags for GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This change unifies mergeable rx buffer memory allocation, which now will use skb_refill_frag() for both atomic and GFP-WAIT buffer allocations. To address fragmentation concerns, if after buffer allocation there is too little space left in the page frag to allocate a subsequent buffer, the remaining space is added to the current allocated buffer so that the remaining space can be used to store packet data.

skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs). This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing page allocation strategy employed by netdev_alloc_frag, which attempts higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is set, falling back to successively lower-order page allocations on failure. Part of migration of virtio-net to per-receive queue page frag allocators. Acked-by: Michael S.

The error code was not set if change indev fail, so the error condition wasn't reflected in the return value. Fix to return a negative error code from this error handling case instead of 0.
