After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some slave devices may have set a dev->needed_headroom value which is different than the default one, most likely in order to prepend a hardware descriptor in front of the Ethernet frame to send. Whenever a new slave is added to a bridge, ensure that we update the needed_headroom value accordingly to account for the slave needed_headroom value.

This function checks the upper bound but it doesn't check for negative numbers: if (txq > QLCNIC_MAX_TX_RINGS) { I've solved this by making "txq" a u32 type. I chose that because ->tx_count in the ethtool_channels struct is a __u32. This bug was added in aa4a1f7d ('qlcnic: Enable Tx queue changes using ethtool for 82xx Series adapter.').

Wei Liu says: ==================== xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback. This model - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver The second patch has the real meat: - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4 DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0. DomUs do netperf to Dom0 with following command: /root/netperf -H Dom0 -fm -l120 IRQs are distributed to 4 cores by hand in the new model, while in the old model vifs are automatically distributed to 4 kthreads. * New model %Cpu0 : 0.5 us, 20.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 24.4 si, 25.9 st %Cpu1 : 0.5 us, 17.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.8 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 27.7 si, 25.1 st %Cpu2 : 0.5 us, 18.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 22.9 si, 27.1 st %Cpu3 : 0.0 us, 20.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.4 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 22.7 si, 26.8 st Throughputs: 2027.89 2025.95 2018.57 2016.23 aggregated: 8088.64 * Old model %Cpu0 : 0.5 us, 68.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 16.1 id, 0.5 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.8 si, 11.5 st %Cpu1 : 0.4 us, 45.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 31.1 id, 0.4 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.1 si, 20.9 st %Cpu2 : 0.9 us, 44.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 1.3 si, 22.2 st %Cpu3 : 0.8 us, 46.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.3 id, 1.3 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.1 si, 21.1 st Throughputs: 1899.14 2280.43 1963.33 1893.47 aggregated: 8036.37 We can see that the impact is mainly on CPU usage.

This patch implements 1:1 model netback. NAPI and kthread are utilized to do the weight-lifting job: - NAPI is used for guest side TX (host side RX) - kthread is used for guest side RX (host side TX) Xenvif and xen_netbk are made into one structure to reduce code size. This model provides better scheduling fairness among vifs. It is also prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen netback.

The skb priority field may help the wireless driver to choose the right queue (e.g. WMM queues). This should be set in batman-adv, as this information is only available here. This patch adds support for IPv4/IPv6 DS fields and VLAN PCP. Note that only VLAN PCP is used if a VLAN header is present. Also initially set TC_PRIO_CONTROL only for self-generated packets, and keep the priority set by higher layers.

Jesse Gross says: ==================== A number of significant new features and optimizations for net-next/3.12. Highlights are: * "Megaflows", an optimization that allows userspace to specify which flow fields were used to compute the results of the flow lookup. This allows for a major reduction in flow setups (the major performance bottleneck in Open vSwitch) without reducing flexibility. * Converting netlink dump operations to use RCU, allowing for additional parallelism in userspace. * Matching and modifying SCTP protocol fields. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Patrick McHardy authored
Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy core with common functions and an address family specific target. The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie. It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size announced by the server. Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in the direction server->client.

Split out sequence number adjustments from NAT and move them to the conntrack core to make them usable for SYN proxying. The sequence number adjustment information is moved to a seperate extend. The extend is added to new conntracks when a NAT mapping is set up for a connection using a helper. As a side effect, this saves 24 bytes per connection with NAT in the common case that a connection does not have a helper assigned.

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended destination. This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet as it appears to be spoofed. Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet. This closes netfilter bugzilla #531. Signed-off-by: Phil Oester <kernel@linuxace.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

The Huntington MC will reject all MCDI requests after an MC reboot until it sees one with the NOT_EPOCH flag clear. This flag is set by default for all requests, and then cleared on the first request after we detect that an MC reboot has occurred. The old MCDI_STATUS_DELAY_COUNT gave a timeout of 10ms, which was not long enough for the driver to detect that a reboot had occurred based on the warm boot count while calling efx_mcdi_poll_reboot() from the loop in efx_mcdi_ev_death().
