Copying whole packets with skb_copy_from_linear_data_offset is a pretty bad idea. CPU was spending time in __copy_user_common and network performance was lower. With the new solution iperf-measured speed increased from 116Mb/s to 134Mb/s. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The message dispatching part of tipc_recv_msg() is wrapped layers of while/if/if/switch, causing out-of-control indentation and does not look very good. We reduce two indentation levels by separating the message dispatching from the blocks that checks link state and sequence numbers, allowing longer function and arg names to be consistently indented without wrapping. Additionally we also rename "cont" label to "discard" and add one new label called "unlock_discard" to make code clearer. In all, these are cosmetic changes that do not alter the operation of TIPC in any way.

Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab48743 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops") However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in commit 356d7d88 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open". The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost. When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of recurrences exponentially.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to vxlan, net, ixgbe, ixgbevf, and i40e. Joseph provides a single patch against vxlan which removes the burden from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to the drivers. Jacob provides majority of the patches, with patches against net, ixgbe and ixgbevf. His net patch adds might_sleep() call to napi_disable so that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible. Then Jacob provides a patch to fix qv_lock_napi call in ixgbe_napi_disable_all. The other ixgbe patches cleanup ixgbe_check_minimum_link function to correctly show that there are some minor loss of encoding, even though we don't calculate it and remove unnecessary duplication of PCIe bandwidth display. Lastly, Jacob provides 4 patches against ixgbevf to add ixgbevf_rx_skb in line with how ixgbe handles the variations on how packets can be received, adds support in order to track how many packets were cleaned during busy poll as part of the extended statistics. Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to return -ENOMEN in the memory allocation error handling case instead of returning 0, as done elsewhere in this function. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This work contains a lightweight BPF-based traffic classifier that can serve as a flexible alternative to ematch-based tree classification, i.e. now that BPF filter engine can also be JITed in the kernel. Naturally, tc actions and policies are supported as well with cls_bpf. Multiple BPF programs/filter can be attached for a class, or they can just as well be written within a single BPF program, that's really up to the user how he wishes to run/optimize the code, e.g. also for inversion of verdicts etc. The notion of a BPF program's return/exit codes is being kept as follows: 0: No match -1: Select classid given in "tc filter ..." command else: flowid, overwrite the default one As a minimal usage example with iproute2, we use a 3 band prio root qdisc on a router with sfq each as leave, and assign ssh and icmp bpf-based filters to band 1, http traffic to band 2 and the rest to band 3. For the first two bands we load the bytecode from a file, in the 2nd we load it inline as an example: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable tc qdisc del dev em1 root tc qdisc add dev em1 root handle 1: prio bands 3 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:1 sfq perturb 16 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:2 sfq perturb 16 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:3 sfq perturb 16 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/ssh.bpf flowid 1:1 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/icmp.bpf flowid 1:1 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/http.bpf flowid 1:2 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode "`bpfc -f tc -i misc.ops`" flowid 1:3 BPF programs can be easily created and passed to tc, either as inline 'bytecode' or 'bytecode-file'. There are a couple of front-ends that can compile opcodes, for example: 1) People familiar with tcpdump-like filters: tcpdump -iem1 -ddd port 22 | tr '\n' ',' > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf 2) People that want to low-level program their filters or use BPF extensions that lack support by libpcap's compiler: bpfc -f tc -i ssh.ops > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf ssh.ops example code: ldh [12] jne #0x800, drop ldb [23] jneq #6, drop ldh [20] jset #0x1fff, drop ldxb 4 * ([14] & 0xf) ldh [%x + 14] jeq #0x16, pass ldh [%x + 16] jne #0x16, drop pass: ret #-1 drop: ret #0 It was chosen to load bytecode into tc, since the reverse operation, tc filter list dev em1, is then able to show the exact commands again. Possible follow-up work could also include a small expression compiler for iproute2. Tested with the help of bmon. This idea came up during the Netfilter Workshop 2013 in Copenhagen.

This patch removes the need to keep a zero_base variable in the adapter structure. Now we just use two different macros to set the non-zero and zero base. This adds to readability and shortens some of the structure initialization under 80 columns. The gathering of status for ethtool was slightly modified to again better fit into 80 columns and become a bit more readable.

This patch enables CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL support in the VF code. This enables sockets which have enabled the SO_BUSY_POLL socket option to use the ndo_busy_poll_recv operation which could result in lower latency, at the cost of higher CPU utilization, and increased power usage. This support is similar to how the ixgbe driver works.

ixgbe_napi_disable_all calls napi_disable on each queue, however the busy polling code introduced a local_bh_disable()d context around the napi_disable. The original author did not realize that napi_disable might sleep, which would cause a sleep while atomic BUG. In addition, on a single processor system, the ixgbe_qv_lock_napi loop shouldn't have to mdelay. This patch adds an ixgbe_qv_disable along with a new IXGBE_QV_STATE_DISABLED bit, which it uses to indicate to the poll and napi routines that the q_vector has been disabled. Now the ixgbe_napi_disable_all function will wait until all pending work has been finished and prevent any future work from being started.

napi_disable uses an msleep() call to wait for outstanding napi work to be finished after setting the disable bit. It does not always sleep incase there was no outstanding work. This resulted in a rare bug in ixgbe_down operation where a napi_disable call took place inside of a local_bh_disable()d context. In order to enable easier detection of future sleep while atomic BUGs, this patch adds a might_sleep() call, so that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible.

UFO as well as UDP_CORK do not respect IP_PMTUDISC_DO and IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE well enough. UFO enabled packet delivery just appends all frags to the cork and hands it over to the network card. So we just deliver non-DF udp fragments (DF-flag may get overwritten by hardware or virtual UFO enabled interface). UDP_CORK does enqueue the data until the cork is disengaged. At this point it sets the correct IP_DF and local_df flags and hands it over to ip_fragment which in this case will generate an icmp error which gets appended to the error socket queue. This is not reflected in the syscall error (of course, if UFO is enabled this also won't happen). Improve this by checking the pmtudisc flags before appending data to the socket and if we still can fit all data in one packet when IP_PMTUDISC_DO or IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE is set, only then proceed. We use (mtu-fragheaderlen) to check for the maximum length because we ensure not to generate a fragment and non-fragmented data does not need to have its length aligned on 64 bit boundaries. Also the passed in ip_options are already aligned correctly. Maybe, we can relax some other checks around ip_fragment. This needs more research.

The virtio_net driver's mergeable receive buffer allocator uses 4KB packet buffers. For MTU-sized traffic, SKB truesize is > 4KB but only ~1500 bytes of the buffer is used to store packet data, reducing the effective TCP window size substantially. This patch addresses the performance concerns with mergeable receive buffers by allocating MTU-sized packet buffers using page frag allocators. If more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS buffers are needed, the SKB frag_list is used. Signed-off-by: Michael Dalton <mwdalton@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
