The value for LPI TW timer has to be updated to 0x1E that is the hardcoded value of 20.5us and it will apply to all EEE enabled Remote PHYs. Disadvantage is for PHY's that support lesser wakeup time but we can accept it waiting to implement LLDP to negotiate the Wakeup time of Remote PHY.

Since SCTP day 1, that is, 19b55a2af145 ("Initial commit") from lksctp tree, the official <netinet/sctp.h> header carries a copy of enum sctp_sstat_state that looks like (compared to the current in-kernel enumeration): User definition: Kernel definition: enum sctp_sstat_state { typedef enum { SCTP_EMPTY = 0, <removed> SCTP_CLOSED = 1, SCTP_STATE_CLOSED = 0, SCTP_COOKIE_WAIT = 2, SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_WAIT = 1, SCTP_COOKIE_ECHOED = 3, SCTP_STATE_COOKIE_ECHOED = 2, SCTP_ESTABLISHED = 4, SCTP_STATE_ESTABLISHED = 3, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_PENDING = 5, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING = 4, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_SENT = 6, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT = 5, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 7, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED = 6, SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 8, SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT = 7, }; } sctp_state_t; This header was later on also placed into the uapi, so that user space programs can compile without having <netinet/sctp.h>, but the shipped with <linux/sctp.h> instead. While RFC6458 under 8.2.1.Association Status (SCTP_STATUS) says that sstat_state can range from SCTP_CLOSED to SCTP_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT, we nevertheless have a what it appears to be dummy SCTP_EMPTY state from the very early days. While it seems to do just nothing, commit 0b8f9e25 ("sctp: remove completely unsed EMPTY state") did the right thing and removed this dead code. That however, causes an off-by-one when the user asks the SCTP stack via SCTP_STATUS API and checks for the current socket state thus yielding possibly undefined behaviour in applications as they expect the kernel to tell the right thing. The enumeration had to be changed however as based on the current socket state, we access a function pointer lookup-table through this. Therefore, I think the best way to deal with this is just to add a helper function sctp_assoc_to_state() to encapsulate the off-by-one quirk.

In commit ed98df33 ("net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocations") we tried to address one issue caused by order-3 allocations. We still observe high latencies and system overhead in situations where compaction is not successful. Instead of trying order-3, order-2, and order-1, do a single order-3 best effort and immediately fallback to plain order-0. This mimics slub strategy to fallback to slab min order if the high order allocation used for performance failed. Order-3 allocations give a performance boost only if they can be done without recurring and expensive memory scan. Quoting David : The page allocator relies on synchronous (sync light) memory compaction after direct reclaim for allocations that don't retry and deferred compaction doesn't work with this strategy because the allocation order is always decreasing from the previous failed attempt. This means sync light compaction will always be encountered if memory cannot be defragmented or reclaimed several times during the skb_page_frag_refill() iteration.

Enabling DMA_API_DEBUG, warnings are reported at runtime because the device driver frees DMA memory with wrong functions and it does not call dma_mapping_error after mapping dma memory. The first problem is fixed by of introducing a flag that helps us keeping track which mapping technique was used, so that we can use the right API for unmap. This approach was inspired by the e1000 driver, which uses a similar technique.

The PTP reference clock, used for setting the addend in the Timestamp Addend Register, was erroneously hard-coded (as reported in the databook just as example). The patch removes the macro named: STMMAC_SYSCLOCK and allows to use a reference clock (clk_ptp_ref_i) that can be passed from the platform. If not passed, the main driver clock will be used as default; note that this can be fine on some platforms. Note that, prior this patch, using the old STMMAC_SYSCLOCK on some platforms, as side effect, the ptp clock can move faster/slower than the system clock.

This patch is to w/a a problem that happens on some boxes when run at 10Mbps Half duplex mode. During the transmission the CSR signal is asserted for some time and the frames aborted because of carrier sense error. This is reported by MMC HW counter: txcarrier signal. This actually is a false carrier so the frames are good and there is no reason to ask for dropping them. This patch so disables the Carrier Sense During Transmission and this means that the MAC transmitter ignore the CRS signal during frame transmission in Half-Duplex mode.

Interrupt is enabled when bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler returns. If there's interrupt pending interrupt handler is invoked. NAPI needs to be initialised before binding interrupt otherwise the interrupt handler will try to scheduling a NAPI instance that is not initialised yet, resulting in kernel OOPS. This fixes a regression introduced in ea2c5e13 ("xen-netback: move NAPI add/remove calls"). Ideally function calls to create kthreads should also be moved before binding but I intent to fix this regression with minimal changes and refactor the code with another patch.

Vladislav Yasevich says: ==================== Fix TSO and checksum issues with non-accelerated vlan traffic. I've recently ran across something rather interesting when testing vlans from inside VMs. In some scenarios I was getting awfull thruput. Some debugging uncovered a very scary packet corruption. I was seeing packets that had original TSO length as IP total length and their ip checksum was 0. This was with e1000e driver. A bit more debugging uncovered an assumption made by that driver that skb->protocol will contain l3 protocol information. This was not the case in my setup since I manually turned off vlan tx acceleration for the device. This caused the driver to not initialize the tso information correctly and resulted in corrupt TSO frames on the wire. I decided to do some auditing of the usage of skb->protocols in the drivers. Out of all the drivers, the included 8 appear to be effected. They all allow user to control vlan acceleration settings, all support TSO on vlan devices, and all use skb->protocol to decide how to encode TSO information. Some also have similar problems when initializing hw checksum information. On such device, it is simple enough to reproduce the issue. Simply turn off TX VLAN acceleration on the device, create a vlan, and run you favorite network performance tool. There is 1 driver I ran across that I belive will trigger a BUG in the system when used with vlans. That driver is tile/tilepro.c I have not changed it in this patch set and would hope that the maintainer has time to look at it. V2: Fix i40ev using the wrong function name.

This device claims TSO support for vlans. It also allows a user to control vlan acceleration offloading. As such, it is possible to turn off vlan acceleration and configure a vlan which will continue to send TSO traffic. In such situation the packet passed down the the device will contain a vlan header and skb->protocol will be set to ETH_P_8021Q. The device assumes that skb->protocol contains network protocol value and uses that value to set up TSO information. This results in corrupted frames sent on the wire. This patch extracts the protocol value correctly by using a vlan_get_protocol() helper and corrects corrupt TSO frames.

This driver doesn't appear to support vlan acceleration at all. However, it does claim to support TSO and IP checksums for vlan devices. Thus any configured vlan device would end up passing down partial checksums or TSO frames. The driver also uses the value from skb->protocol to determine TSO and checksum offload information, but assumes that skb->protocol holds the l3 protocol information. As a result, vlan traffic with partial checksums or TSO will fail those checks and TSO will not happen. Fix this by using vlan_get_protocol() helper.

The driver claims that it can do TSO and IP checksums on vlan devices and also allows user to control vlan acceleration offloading. This makes it possible to push traffic to this driver that has TSO or partial checksums set, but also have a non-accelearted vlan header. In this case, the driver will fail to correctly identify such traffic and will not correctly perform segmentation and checksum calculation. Fix this by using vlan_get_protocol() helper instead of assuming skb->protocol always has this information.

The first initializer in the following union vxlan_addr ipa = { .sin.sin_addr.s_addr = tip, .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, }; is optimised away by the compiler, due to the second initializer, therefore initialising .sin.sin_addr.s_addr always to 0. This results in netlink messages indicating a L3 miss never contain the missed IP address. This was observed with GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I do not know about previous versions. The problem affects user space programs relying on an IP address being sent as part of a netlink message indicating a L3 miss. Changing .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, to .sin.sin_family = AF_INET, fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Gerhard Stenzel <gerhard.stenzel@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In SCTP, selection of active (T.ACT) and retransmission (T.RET) transports is being done whenever transport control operations (UP, DOWN, PF, ...) are engaged through sctp_assoc_control_transport(). Commits 4c47af4d ("net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission path selection to rfc4960") and a7288c4d ("net: sctp: improve sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection") have both improved it towards a more fine-grained and optimal path selection. Currently, the selection algorithm for T.ACT and T.RET is as follows: 1) Elect the two most recently used ACTIVE transports T1, T2 for T.ACT, T.RET, where T.ACT<-T1 and T1 is most recently used 2) In case primary path T.PRI not in {T1, T2} but ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T1 3) If only T1 is ACTIVE from the set, set T.ACT<-T1 and T.RET<-T1 4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT<-best(T.PRI, T.RET, T3) where T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.PRI Prior to above commits, 4) was simply a camp on T.ACT<-T.PRI and T.RET<-T.PRI, ignoring possible paths in PF. Camping on T.PRI is still slightly suboptimal as it can lead to the following scenario: Setup: <A> <B> T1: p1p1 (10.0.10.10) <==> .'`) <==> p1p1 (10.0.10.12) <= T.PRI T2: p1p2 (10.0.10.20) <==> (_ . ) <==> p1p2 (10.0.10.22) net.sctp.rto_min = 1000 net.sctp.path_max_retrans = 2 net.sctp.pf_retrans = 0 net.sctp.hb_interval = 1000 T.PRI is permanently down, T2 is put briefly into PF state (e.g. due to link flapping). Here, the first time transmission is sent over PF path T2 as it's the only non-INACTIVE path, but the retransmitted data-chunks are sent over the INACTIVE path T1 (T.PRI), which is not good. After the patch, it's choosing better transports in both cases by modifying step 4): 4) If none is ACTIVE, set T.ACT_new<-best(T.ACT_old, T3) where T3 is the most recently used (if avail) in PF, set T.RET<-T.ACT_new This will still select a best possible path in PF if available (which can also include T.PRI/T.RET), and set both T.ACT/T.RET to it. In case sctp_assoc_control_transport() *just* put T.ACT_old into INACTIVE as it transitioned from ACTIVE->PF->INACTIVE and stays in INACTIVE just for a very short while before going back ACTIVE, it will guarantee that this path will be reselected for T.ACT/T.RET since T3 (PF) is not available. Previously, this was not possible, as we would only select between T.PRI and T.RET, and a possible T3 would be NULL due to the fact that we have just transitioned T3 in sctp_assoc_control_transport() from PF->INACTIVE and would select a suboptimal path when T.PRI/T.RET have worse properties. In the case that T.ACT_old permanently went to INACTIVE during this transition and there's no PF path available, plus T.PRI and T.RET are INACTIVE as well, we would now camp on T.ACT_old, but if everything is being INACTIVE there's really not much we can do except hoping for a successful HB to bring one of the transports back up again and, thus cause a new selection through sctp_assoc_control_transport(). Now both tests work fine: Case 1: 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET 2. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(PF) 3. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) 5. T1 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) ] 6. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET T2 S(INACTIVE) 7. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET Case 2: 1. T1 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT T2 S(ACTIVE) T.RET 2. T1 S(PF) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 3. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 5. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(PF) T.ACT, T.RET [ 5.1 T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(INACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET ] 6. T1 S(INACTIVE) T2 S(ACTIVE) T.ACT, T.RET 7.
