This change has been made with the goal that kernel functions should return something more descriptive than -1 on failure. A variable `err` has been introduced for storing error codes. The return value of kzalloc on failure should return a -1 and not a -ENOMEM. This was found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of the semantic patch used is: //<smpl> @@ expression *e; identifier l1; @@ e = kzalloc(...); if (e == NULL) { ... goto l1; } l1: ... return -1 + -ENOMEM ; //</smpl Furthermore, set `err` to -ENOMEM on failure of alloc_netdev(), and to -ENODEV on failure of register_netdev() and probe_irq_off(). The single call site only checks that the return value is not 0, hence no change is required at the call site. Signed-off-by:Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-02-15 This series contains updates to igb only. Shota Suzuki cleans up unnecessary flag setting for 82576 in igb_set_flag_queue_pairs() since the default block already sets IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS to the correct value anyways, so the e1000_82576 code block is not necessary and we can simply fall through. Then fixes an issue where IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS can now be set by using "ethtool -L" option but is never cleared unless the driver is reloaded, so clear the queue pairing if the pairing becomes unnecessary as a result of "ethtool -L". Mitch fixes the igbvf from giving up if it fails to get the hardware mailbox lock. This can happen when the PF-VF communication channel is heavily loaded and causes complete communications failure between the PF and VF drivers, so add a counter and a delay so that the driver will now retry ten times before giving up on getting the mailbox lock. The remaining patches in the series are from Alex Duyck, starting with the cleaning up code that sets the MAC address. Then refactors the VFTA and VLVF configuration, to simplify and update to similar setups in the ixgbe driver. Fixed an issue were VLANs headers size was being added to the value programmed into the RLPML registers, yet these registers already take into account the size of the VLAN headers when determining the maximum packet length, so we can drop the code that adds the size to the RLPML registers. Cleaned up the configuration of the VF port based VLAN configuration. Also fixed the igb driver so that we can fully support SR-IOV or the recently added NTUPLE filtering while allowing support for VLAN promiscuous mode. Also added the ability to use the bridge utility to add a FDB entry for the PF to an igb port. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Jacob Keller says: ==================== ethtool: correct {GS}CHANNELS and {GS}RXFH conflict This patch series fixes up ethtool_set_channels operation which allowed modifying the RXFH table indirectly by reducing the number of queues below the current max queue used by the Rx flow table. Most drivers incorrectly allowed this to destroy the Rx flow table and would then start by reinitializing it to default settings. However, drivers are not able to correctly handle the conflict since there was no way to differentiate between the default settings and the user requested explicit settings. To fix this, implement a new netdev private flag which we use to indicate whether the RXFH has been user configured. If someone has a better alternative of how to store this information, let me know. I am not sure that priv_flags is the best solution but I have not had any better idea. Secondly, we add a function which just calls the driver's get_rxfh callback to determine the current indirection table. Loop through this and we can determine the current highest queue that will be used by RSS. Now, modify ethtool_set_channels to add a check ensuring that if (a) we have had rxfh configured by user, (b) we can get the maximum RSS queue currently used, then we ensure that the newly requested Rx count (or combined count) is at least as high as this maximum RSS queue. The reasoning here is that we can always safely increase the number of queues. If we decrease the queues we must ensure that the decrease does not go lower than the highest in-use queue for the Rx flow table. Drivers may still need to be patched if they currently overwrite the Rx flow table during channel configuration. If the driver currently always resets Rx flow table when increasing number of queues it must be patched to only do this when netif_is_rxfh_configured returns false. The second patch simply adds a check to ensure that all provided channel counts fit within driver defined maximums. The third patch fixes fm10k to correctly reconfigure the RSS reta table whenever it is still unconfigured. This means that the default state will provide RSS to every queue. Once the user has configured RXFH, then we should maintain it. In addition, since the case where we must reconfigure the RSS table in this case should now no longer occur, add a dev_err message to indicate the user that we did so. I have also supplied an ethtool patch to enable setting the default Rx flow indirection table. Without this, current ethtool does not support sending an indir_size of 0, and thus does not correctly support configuring back to the default. Changes in v2: * fixed compile error * fixed incorrect comparison with max_rx_in_use * adjusted looping over dev_size * removed inline on function * dropped patch about separating combined vs asymmetric channels * verified behavior using fm10k driver ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Ethernet drivers implementing both {GS}RXFH and {GS}CHANNELS ethtool ops incorrectly allow SCHANNELS when it would conflict with the settings from SRXFH. This occurs because it is not possible for drivers to understand whether their Rx flow indirection table has been configured or is in the default state. In addition, drivers currently behave in various ways when increasing the number of Rx channels. Some drivers will always destroy the Rx flow indirection table when this occurs, whether it has been set by the user or not. Other drivers will attempt to preserve the table even if the user has never modified it from the default driver settings. Neither of these situation is desirable because it leads to unexpected behavior or loss of user configuration. The correct behavior is to simply return -EINVAL when SCHANNELS would conflict with the current Rx flow table settings. However, it should only do so if the current settings were modified by the user. If we required that the new settings never conflict with the current (default) Rx flow settings, we would force users to first reduce their Rx flow settings and then reduce the number of Rx channels. This patch proposes a solution implemented in net/core/ethtool.c which ensures that all drivers behave correctly. It checks whether the RXFH table has been configured to non-default settings, and stores this information in a private netdev flag. When the number of channels is requested to change, it first ensures that the current Rx flow table is not going to assign flows to now disabled channels. Signed-off-by: -

There was a workaround partially implemented for the 82576 that is needed in order for VLAN tag stripping to function correctly. The original code had side effects that would make it so the workaround was active on all MACs. I have updated the code so that the workaround is enabled, but limited to the 82576, or activated if we exceed the available unicast addresses. The workaround has a side effect of mirroring all of the traffic outgoing from the VFs back to the PF. As such it is not recommended to use the 82576 in promiscuous mode as it will take a performance hit, though this is now consistent with the performance as seen on the out-of-tree igb driver. I also limited the scope of the UTA bits all being set to only when the VMOLR register is enabled. This should limit the effects of the UTA register so that we don't pick up any excess traffic unless promiscuous mode has been enabled on the PF, whereas before the PF would have ended up in something equivalent to unicast promiscuous mode with VLAN filtering otherwise.

This change makes it so that we can use the bridge utility to add a FDB entry for the PF to an igb port. By doing this we can enable the VFs to talk to virtual ports residing on top of the PF. In addition this should also address issues with MACVLANs trying to reside on top of the PF as well as they would have had similar issues when added to the PF with SR-IOV enabled. Signed-off-by:

This patch is meant to clean-up the configuration of the VF port based VLAN configuration. The original logic was a bit muddled and had some undesirable side effects such as VLANs being either completely stripped from the port or VLANs being left when they shouldn't be. The idea behind this code is to avoid any events such as spurious spoof notifications when we are removing one VLAN tag and replacing it with another. Signed-off-by:

Since the igb driver is using page based receive there is no point in limiting the Rx capabilities of the device. The driver can receive 9K jumbo frames at all times. The only changes needed due to MTU changes are updates for the FIFO sizes and flow-control watermarks. Update the maximum frame size to reflect the 9.5K limitation of the hardware, and replace all instances of max_frame_size with MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE when referring to an Rx FIFO or frame.

The arithmetic properties of the ones-complement checksum mean that a correctly checksummed inner packet, including its checksum, has a ones complement sum depending only on whatever value was used to initialise the checksum field before checksumming (in the case of TCP and UDP, this is the ones complement sum of the pseudo header, complemented). Consequently, if we are going to offload the inner checksum with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we can compute the outer checksum based only on the packed data not covered by the inner checksum, and the initial value of the inner checksum field.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp/dccp: better use of ephemeral ports Big servers have bloated bind table, making very hard to succeed ephemeral port allocations, without special containers/namespace tricks. This patch series extends the strategy added in commit 07f4c900 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"). Since ports used by connect() are much likely to be shared among them, we give a hint to both bind() and connect() to keep the crowds separated if possible. Of course, if on a specific host an application needs to allocate ~30000 ports using bind(), it will still be able to do so. Same for ~30000 connect() to a unique 2-tuple (dst addr, dst port) New implemetation is also more friendly to softirqs and reschedules. v2: rebase after TCP SO_REUSEPORT changes ==================== Signed-off-by:

Implement strategy used in __inet_hash_connect() in opposite way : Try to find a candidate using odd ports, then fallback to even ports. We no longer disable BH for whole traversal, but one bucket at a time. We also use cond_resched() to yield cpu to other tasks if needed. I removed one indentation level and tried to mirror the loop we have in __inet_hash_connect() and variable names to ease code maintenance. Signed-off-by:

In commit 07f4c900 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"), I added a very simple heuristic, so that we got better chances to use even ports, and allow bind() users to have more available slots. It gave nice results, but with more than 200,000 TCP sessions on a typical server, the ~30,000 ephemeral ports are still a rare resource. I chose to go a step further, by looking at all even ports, and if none was available, fallback to odd ports. The companion patch does the same in bind(), but in opposite way. I've seen exec times of up to 30ms on busy servers, so I no longer disable BH for the whole traversal, but only for each hash bucket. I also call cond_resched() to be gentle to other tasks.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== net: mitigating kmem_cache free slowpath This patchset is the first real use-case for kmem_cache bulk _free_. The use of bulk _alloc_ is NOT included in this patchset. The full use have previously been posted here [1]. The bulk free side have the largest benefit for the network stack use-case, because network stack is hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB slowpath when freeing SKBs, due to the amount of outstanding SKBs. This is solved by using the new API kmem_cache_free_bulk(). Introduce new API napi_consume_skb(), that hides/handles bulk freeing for the caller. The drivers simply need to use this call when freeing SKBs in NAPI context, e.g. replacing their calles to dev_kfree_skb() / dev_consume_skb_any(). Driver ixgbe is the first user of this new API.

There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq. Thus, bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency. Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced. The napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it is called from netpoll.
