      rhashtable: use cond_resched() · 5beb5c90
      Eric Dumazet authored
      If a hash table has 128 slots and 16384 elems, expand to 256 slots
      takes more than one second. For larger sets, a soft lockup is detected.
      
      Holding cpu for that long, even in a work queue is a show stopper
      for non preemptable kernels.
      
      cond_resched() at strategic points to allow process scheduler
      to reschedule us.

      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-02-26
      
      This series contains fixes for i40e and i40evf only.
      
      Alexey Khoroshilov found a possible leak of 'cmd_buf' when copy_from_user()
      failed in i40e_dbg_command_write(), so resolved by calling kfree().
      
      Shannon provides a fix to ensure the shift and bitwise precedences do not
      work backwards for us by adding parans.  Fixed the driver by preventing
      the driver from allowing stray interrupts or causing system logs from
      un-handled interrupts by combining the ICR0 shutdown with the standard
      interrupt shutdown and add the interrupt clearing to the PCI shutdown
      path.  Fixed an issue where a NVM write times out before a transaction
      can complete, so Shannon added logic to make another attempt by
      reacquiring the semaphore, then retry the write, if the one retry fails,
      we will then give up.  Adds checks to pointers before their use to ensure
      we do not try to dereference NULL pointers when returning values from the
      AdminQ calls.
      
      Akeem adds a check to bail out if the device is already down when checking
      for Tx hang subtask.
      
      Anjali fixes TSO with more than 8 frags per segment issue.  The hardware
      has some limitations which the driver needs to adhere to:
        1) no more than 8 descriptors per packet on the wire
        2) no header can span more than 3 descriptors
      If one of these events happens, the hardware will generate an internal
      error and freeze the Tx queue, so Anjali fixes this by linearizes the skb
      to avoid these situations.  Fixed an issue where the per Traffic Class
      queue count was higher than queues enabled, which will fix a warning
      with multiple function mode where systems regularly have more cores than
      vectors.  Fixed TCP/IPv6 over VXLAN Tx checksum offload, where we were
      checking the outer protocol flags and deciding the flow for the inner
      header.
      
      Jesse fixes a race condition in the transmit hang detection.  Before we
      were having issues of false Tx hang detection, no the driver makes more
      direct with the checks for progress forward by directly checking the head
      write back address and tail register when determining progress.  This
      avoids Tx hangs where the software gets behind, because we are directly
      checking hardware state when determining a hang state.
      
      Neerav fixes the transmit ring Qset handle when DCB reconfigures. The issue
      was when DCB is reconfigured to a single traffic class (TC) and the driver
      did not reset the Tx ring Qset handle to correct the mapping, which caused
      the Tx queue to disable timeouts.  Also as part of DCB reconfiguration flow
      if the Tx queue disable times out, then issue a PF reset to do some level
      of recovery.
      
      Mitch stops flow director on shutdown because, in some cases, the hardware
      would continue to try to access the FDIR ring after entering D3Hot state,
      which would cause either PCIe errors or NMIs, depending upon the system
      configuration.
      
      * NOTE * I have verified that this series of patches for net will not cause
      any merge issues when you sync up your net tree with your net-next tree.

      amd-xgbe: Request IRQs only after driver is fully setup · c30e76a7
      Lendacky, Thomas authored
      It is possible that the hardware may not have been properly shutdown
      before this driver gets control, through use by firmware, for example.
      Until the driver is loaded, interrupts associated with the hardware
      could go pending. When the IRQs are requested napi support has not
      been initialized yet, but the ISR will get control and schedule napi
      processing resulting in a kernel panic because the poll routine has not
      been set.
      
      Adjust the code so that the driver is fully ready to handle and process
      interrupts as soon as the IRQs are requested. This involves requesting
      and freeing IRQs during start and stop processing and ordering the napi
      add and delete calls appropriately.
      
      Also adjust the powerup and powerdown routines to match the start and
      stop routines in regards to the ordering of tasks, including napi
      related calls.

      ====================
      rhashtable updates
      
      As discussed, I'm sending out rhashtable fixups for -net.
      
      I have a couple of more patches I was working on last week pending,
      i.e. to get rid of ht->nelems and ht->shift atomic operations which
      speed-up pure insertions/deletions, e.g. on my laptop I have 2 threads,
      inserting 7M entries each, that will reduce insertion time from ~1,450 ms
      to 865 ms (performance should even be better after removing the
      grow/shrink indirections). I guess that however is rather something
      for net-next.

      rhashtable: remove indirection for grow/shrink decision functions · 4c4b52d9
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Currently, all real users of rhashtable default their grow and shrink
      decision functions to rht_grow_above_75() and rht_shrink_below_30(),
      so that there's currently no need to have this explicitly selectable.
      
      It can/should be generic and private inside rhashtable until a real
      use case pops up. Since we can make this private, we'll save us this
      additional indirection layer and can improve insertion/deletion time
      as well.

      rhashtable: unconditionally grow when max_shift is not specified · 8331de75
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      While commit c0c09bfd ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for
      worker queue") rightfully moved part of the decision making of
      whether we should expand or shrink from the expand/shrink functions
      themselves into insert/delete functions in order to avoid unnecessary
      worker wake-ups, it however introduced a regression by doing so.
      
      Before that change, if no max_shift was specified (= 0) on rhashtable
      initialization, rhashtable_expand() would just grow unconditionally
      and lets the available memory be the limiting factor. After that
      change, if no max_shift was specified, there would be _no_ expansion
      step at all.
      
      Given that netlink and tipc have a max_shift specified, it was not
      visible there, but Josh Hunt reported that if nft that starts out
      with a default element hint of 3 if not otherwise provided, would
      slow i.e. inserts down trememdously as it cannot grow larger to
      relax table occupancy.
      
      Given that the test case verifies shrinks/expands manually, we also
      must remove pointer to the helper functions to explicitly avoid
      parallel resizing on insertions/deletions. test_bucket_stats() and
      test_rht_lookup() could also be wrapped around rhashtable mutex to
      explicitly synchronize a walk from resizing, but I think that defeats
      the actual test case which intended to have explicit test steps,
      i.e. 1) inserts, 2) expands, 3) shrinks, 4) deletions, with object
      verification after each stage.

      vhost: cleanup iterator update logic · 4c5a8442
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      Recent iterator-related changes in vhost made it
      harder to follow the logic fixing up the header.
      In fact, the fixup always happens at the same
      offset: sizeof(virtio_net_hdr): sometimes the
      fixup iterator is updated by copy_to_iter,
      sometimes-by iov_iter_advance.
      
      Rearrange code to make this obvious.

      "val" is declared as a u64 so static checkers complain that this shift
      can wrap.  I don't have the hardware but probably it's doesn't have over
      31 ports.  Still we may as well silence the warning even if it's not a
      real bug.
