Because of the risk of an excessive number of NACK messages and retransissions, receivers have until now abstained from sending broadcast NACKS directly upon detection of a packet sequence number gap. We have instead relied on such gaps being detected by link protocol STATE message exchange, something that by necessity delays such detection and subsequent retransmissions. With the introduction of unicast NACK transmission and rate control of retransmissions we can now remove this limitation. We now allow receiving nodes to send NACKS immediately, while coordinating the permission to do so among the nodes in order to avoid NACK storms.

As cluster sizes grow, so does the amount of identical or overlapping broadcast NACKs generated by the packet receivers. This often leads to 'NACK crunches' resulting in huge numbers of redundant retransmissions of the same packet ranges. In this commit, we introduce rate control of broadcast retransmissions, so that a retransmitted range cannot be retransmitted again until after at least 10 ms. This reduces the frequency of duplicate, redundant retransmissions by an order of magnitude, while having a significant positive impact on overall throughput and scalability.

When we send broadcasts in clusters of more 70-80 nodes, we sometimes see the broadcast link resetting because of an excessive number of retransmissions. This is caused by a combination of two factors: 1) A 'NACK crunch", where loss of broadcast packets is discovered and NACK'ed by several nodes simultaneously, leading to multiple redundant broadcast retransmissions. 2) The fact that the NACKS as such also are sent as broadcast, leading to excessive load and packet loss on the transmitting switch/bridge. This commit deals with the latter problem, by moving sending of broadcast nacks from the dedicated BCAST_PROTOCOL/NACK message type to regular unicast LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE messages. We allocate 10 unused bits in word 8 of the said message for this purpose, and introduce a new capability bit, TIPC_BCAST_STATE_NACK in order to keep the change backwards compatible.

This patch fixes the retun value of switchdev_port_fdb_dump() when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is not set. This avoids getting "warning: return makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]" when building when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is not set under several compiler versions. This warning is due to commit d297653d ("rtnetlink: fdb dump: optimize by saving last interface markers").

Patches 1-3 is bpf-side prep for the main patch 4 that adds bpf program as an overflow_handler to sw and hw perf_events. Patches 5 and 6 are examples from myself and Brendan. Peter, to implement your suggestion to add ifdef CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL inside struct perf_event, I had to shuffle ifdefs in events/core.c Please double check whether that is what you wanted to see. v2->v3: fixed few more minor issues v1->v2: fixed issues spotted by Peter and Daniel. ==================== Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The bpf program is called 50 times a second and does hashmap[kern&user_stackid]++ It's primary purpose to check that key bpf helpers like map lookup, update, get_stackid, trace_printk and ctx access are all working. It checks: - PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES on all cpus - PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES for current process and inherited perf_events to children - PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK on all cpus - PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK for current process Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Allow attaching BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs to sw and hw perf events via overflow_handler mechanism. When program is attached the overflow_handlers become stacked. The program acts as a filter. Returning zero from the program means that the normal perf_event_output handler will not be called and sampling event won't be stored in the ring buffer. The overflow_handler_context==NULL is an additional safety check to make sure programs are not attached to hw breakpoints and watchdog in case other checks (that prevent that now anyway) get accidentally relaxed in the future. The program refcnt is incremented in case perf_events are inhereted when target task is forked. Similar to kprobe and tracepoint programs there is no ioctl to detach the program or swap already attached program. The user space expected to close(perf_event_fd) like it does right now for kprobe+bpf. That restriction simplifies the code quite a bit. The invocation of overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow() is now done via READ_ONCE, since that pointer can be replaced when the program is attached while perf_event itself could have been active already. There is no need to do similar treatment for event->prog, since it's assigned only once before it's accessed. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: add per-port unknown multicast flood control The first patch prepares the forwarding path by having the exact packet type passed down so we can later filter based on it and the per-port unknown mcast flood flag introduced in the second patch.

Nice side-effects of patch 01 are the slight reduction of tests in the fast-path and a few minor checkpatch fixes. v3: don't change br_auto_mask as that will change user-visible behaviour v2: make pkt_type an enum as per Stephen's comment ==================== Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs. To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps. In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also re-implements fix done by commit 472681d5 ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump") (with an internal fix from Wilson Kok) in the following ways: - change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead of the last fdb index - use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes. This is consistent with other dump functions. Below results were taken on a system with 1000 netdevs and 35085 fdb entries: before patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 15065 real 1m11.791s user 0m0.070s sys 1m8.395s (existing code does not return all macs) after patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 35085 real 0m2.017s user 0m0.113s sys 0m1.942s Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Wilson Kok <wkok@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be collected. This makes the following possibilities more achievable: (1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls. (2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data will be able to consult the call state. (3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one cancelling the operation. (4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's buffers and sk_buffs. (5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall - rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue. (6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC. To make this work, the following interface function has been added: int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data( struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call, void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset, bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code); This is the recvmsg equivalent. It allows the caller to find out about the state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer piecemeal. afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction logic between them. They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket lock needs to be dealt with. Five interface functions have been removed: rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last() rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code() rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number() rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed() As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the rxrpc_call struct (->knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the in-kernel user. To process the queue internally, a temporary function, temp_deliver_data() has been added. This will be replaced with common code between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a future patch.

The workqueue "pegasus_workqueue" queues a single work item per pegasus instance and hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue has been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue instance. The WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure since it's a network driver. Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency limit is unnecessary here.
