Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel. In this example ss command displays a srtt of 32 usecs (10Gbit link) lpk51:~# ./ss -i dst lpk52 Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port tcp ESTAB 0 1 10.246.11.51:42959 10.246.11.52:64614 cubic wscale:6,6 rto:201 rtt:0.032/0.001 ato:40 mss:1448 cwnd:10 send 3620.0Mbps pacing_rate 7240.0Mbps unacked:1 rcv_rtt:993 rcv_space:29559 Updated iproute2 ip command displays : lpk51:~# ./ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 274us rttvar 213us source 10.246.11.51 Old binary displays : lpk51:~# ip tcp_metrics | grep 10.246.11.52 10.246.11.52 age 561.914sec cwnd 10 rtt 250us rttvar 125us source 10.246.11.51 With help from Julian Anastasov, Stephen Hemminger and Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Larry Brakmo <brakmo@google.com> Cc: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

ktime_get() is too expensive on some cases, and we'd like to get usec resolution timestamps in TCP stack. This patch adds a light weight facility using a combination of local_clock() and jiffies samples. Instead of : u64 t0, t1; t0 = ktime_get(); // stuff t1 = ktime_get(); delta_us = ktime_us_delta(t1, t0); use : struct skb_mstamp t0, t1; skb_mstamp_get(&t0); // stuff skb_mstamp_get(&t1); delta_us = skb_mstamp_us_delta(&t1, &t0); Note : local_clock() might have a (bounded) drift between cpus. Do not use this infra in place of ktime_get() without understanding the issues.

The isdn core code uses a couple of wait queues with interruptible_sleep_on, which is racy and about to get removed from the kernel. Fortunately, we know for each case what we are waiting for, so they can all be converted to the better wait_event_interruptible interface.

These two drivers use identical code for their procfs status file handling, which contains a small race against status data becoming available while reading the file. This uses wait_event_interruptible instead to fix this particular race and eventually get rid of all sleep_on instances. There seems to be another race involving multiple concurrent readers of the same procfs file, which I don't try to fix here.

The state machine code in the elsa driver uses interruptible_sleep_on to wait for state changes, which is racy. A closer look at the possible states reveals that it is always used to wait for getting back into ARCOFI_NOP, so we can use wait_event_interruptible instead.

interruptible_sleep_on is racy and going away. In case of pcbit, the driver would run into a timeout if the card is initialized before we start waiting for it. This uses wait_event to fix the race. In order to do this, the state machine handling for the timeout case has to get trivially reorganized so we actually know whether the timeout has occorred or not.

This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface MTU.

IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE has a design error: because it does not allow the generation of fragments if the interface mtu is exceeded, it is very hard to make use of this option in already deployed name server software for which I introduced this option. This patch adds yet another new IP_MTU_DISCOVER option to not honor any path mtu information and not accepting new icmp notifications destined for the socket this option is enabled on. But we allow outgoing fragmentation in case the packet size exceeds the outgoing interface mtu. As such this new option can be used as a drop-in replacement for IP_PMTUDISC_DONT, which is currently in use by most name server software making the adoption of this option very smooth and easy. The original advantage of IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE is still maintained: ignoring incoming path MTU updates and not honoring discovered path MTUs in the output path.

ip_skb_dst_mtu mostly falls back to ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward if no socket is attached to the skb (in case of forwarding) or determines the mtu like we do in ip_finish_output, which actually checks if we should branch to ip_fragment. Thus use the same function to determine the mtu here, too. This is important for the introduction of IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT, where we want the packets getting cut in pieces of the size of the outgoing interface mtu. IPv6 already does this correctly.

iproute2 arpd seems to expect this as there's code and comments to handle netlink probes with NUD_PROBE set. It is used to flush the arpd cached mappings. opennhrp instead turns off unicast probes (so it can handle all neighbour discovery). Without this change it will not see NUD_PROBE probes and cannot reconfirm the mapping. Thus currently neigh entry will just fail and can cause few packets dropped until broadcast discovery is restarted.

The commit 8fad346f ("eee802154: add basic support for RF212 to at86rf230 driver") introduced the new function is_rf212() with some minor issues in declaration: 1) Fix the function type by changing it to bool as the function definition returns a boolean value. Additionally both callers of is_rf212() are expected to return a boolean value. 2) Fix the function specifier by deleting the inline keyword as the compiler takes care of that.

Michal Schmidt says: ==================== bnx2x: minimize RAM usage in kdump kdump kernels usually have only a small amount of memory reserved. bnx2x can be memory-hungry. Let's minimize its memory usage when running in kdump. I detect kdump by looking at the "reset_devices" flag. A couple of storage drivers (cciss, hpsa) use it for the same purpose. I am not sure this is the best way to solve the problem, but it works. Should it be made more generic by, say, looking at the total amount of lowmem instead? Not using TPA by default when lowmem is small and/or defaulting to fewer queues would help 32bit systems where a driver for a multi-function multi-queue NIC can consume a significant amount of available memory. Or do we want no such heuristics? Is this something to consider doing for other network drivers too? ==================== Acked-by: Ariel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Claudiu Manoil says: ==================== gianfar: Device reset and reconfig fixes These patches end up fixing some notable device reset & reconfig related problems. One issue is on-the-fly (Rx/Tx on) programming of interrupt coalescing (IC) registers on the processing path, against HW recommendation. This is an old issue that became visible after BQL introduction, as under certain conditions (low traffic) one TX interrupt gets lost and BQL fires Tx timeout as a result. Another notable issue is a race on the Tx path (xmit, clean_tx) during device reset (i.e. during Tx timeout watchdog firing) that leads to NULL access. Fixing the problematic on-thy-fly register writes (i.e. the IC regs) required the implementation of a MAC soft reset procedure. The race leading to NULL access was addressed by fixing the stop_gfar()/startup_gfar() pair (disable/enable napi a.s.o.) and adding the device state DOWN to sync with the TX path. v2: Refactored if() clauses from gfar_set_features(), PATCH 2. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Programming the interrupt coalescing (IC) registers while the controller/DMA is on may incur the loss of one Tx confirmation interrupt, under certain conditions. This is a subtle hw race because it does not occur during a burst of Tx packets. It has been observed on p2020 devices that, if just one packet is being xmit'ed, the Tx confirmation doesn't trigger and BQL evetually blocks the Tx queues, followed by Tx timeout and an un-responsive device. This issue was not apparent prior to introducing BQL support, as a late Tx confirmation was not an issue back then and the next burst of Tx frames would have triggered the Tx confirmation/ Tx ring cleanup anyway. Bottom line, the hw specifications state that the IC registers should not be programmed while the Rx/Tx blocks (the DMA) are enabled. Further more, these registers are currently re-written with the same values on the processing path, over and over again. To fix this, rewriting the IC registers has been removed from the processing path (napi poll). A complete MAC reset procedure has been implemented for the ethtool -c option instead, to reliably update these registers while the controller is stopped.

The device reset procedure, stop_gfar()/startup_gfar(), has concurrency issues. "Kernel access of bad area" oopses show up during Tx timeout device reset or other reset cases (like changing MTU) that happen while the interface still has traffic. The oopses happen in start_xmit and clean_tx_ring when accessing tx_queue-> tx_skbuff which is NULL. The race comes from de-allocating the tx_skbuff while transmission and napi processing are still active. Though the Tx queues get temoprarily stopped when Tx timeout occurs, they get re-enabled as a result of Tx congestion handling inside the napi context (see clean_tx_ring()). Not disabling the napi during reset is also a bug, because clean_tx_ring() will try to access tx_skbuff while it is being de-alloc'ed and re-alloc'ed. To fix this, stop_gfar() needs to disable napi processing after stopping the Tx queues. However, in order to prevent clean_tx_ring() to re-enable the Tx queue before the napi gets disabled, the device state DOWN has been introduced. It prevents the Tx congestion management from re-enabling the de-congested Tx queue while the device is brought down. An additional locking state, RESETTING, has been introduced to prevent simultaneous resets or to prevent configuring the device while it is resetting. The bogus 'rxlock's (for each Rx queue) have been removed since their purpose is not justified, as they don't prevent nor are suited to prevent device reset/reconfig races (such as this one).

Resetting the device (stop_gfar()/startup_gfar()) should be fast and to the point, in order to timely recover from an error condition (like Tx timeout) or during device reconfig. The irq free/ request routines are just redundant here, and they should be part of the device close/ open routines instead.

The RCTRL and TCTRL registers should not be changed on-the-fly, while the controller is running, otherwise unexpected behaviour occurs. But that's exactly what gfar_vlan_mode() does, updating the VLAN acceleration bits inside RCTRL/TCTRL. The attempt to lock these operations doesn't help, but only adds to the confusion. There's also a dependency for Rx FCB insertion (activating /de-activating the TOE offload block on Rx) which might change the required rx buffer size. This makes matters worse as gfar_vlan_mode() ends up calling gfar_change_mtu(), though the MTU size remains the same. Note that there are other situations that may affect the required rx buffer size, like changing RXCSUM or rx hw timestamping, but errorneously the rx buffer size is not recomputed/ updated in the process. To fix this, do the vlan updates properly inside the MAC reset and reconfiguration procedure, which takes care of the rx buffer size dependecy and the rx TOE block (PRSDEP) activation/deactivation as well (in the correct order). As a consequence, MTU/ rx buff size updates are done now by the same MAC reset and reconfig procedure, so that out of context updates to MAXFRM, MRBLR, and MACCFG inside change_mtu() are no longer needed. The rx buffer size dependecy to Rx FCB is now handled for the other cases too (RXCSUM and rx hw timestamping). Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
