Rework Shadow RAM read word/buffer functions to not use AQ Request Resource commands. Requesting resource is not needed for SR read operations which are done through SRCTL register. Access to SR through register is controlled through DONE bit within SRCTL. With this change we do not block whole NVM resource for SR read operations.

When a link is created we delay the start event by launching it to be executed later in a tasklet. As we hold all the necessary locks at the moment of creation, and there is no risk of deadlock or contention, this delay serves no purpose in the current code. We remove this obsolete indirection step, and the associated function link_start(). At the same time, we rename the function tipc_link_stop() to the more appropriate tipc_link_purge_queues().

Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields 'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the critical region: link_activate() tipc_bearer_add_dest() tipc_disc_add_dest() req->num_nodes++; tipc_link_reset() tipc_bearer_remove_dest() tipc_disc_remove_dest() req->num_nodes-- disc_update() read req->num_nodes write req->timer_intv disc_timeout() read req->num_nodes read/write req->timer_intv Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects. This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node may still think it has one. The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare. This bug seems to have always been present in the code. Furthermore, since commit b4b56102 ("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"), the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts. We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages, as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

The functionality related to link addition and failover is unnecessarily hard to understand and maintain. We try to improve this by renaming some of the functions, at the same time adding or improving the explanatory comments around them. Names such as "tipc_rcv()" etc. also align better with what is used in other networking components. The changes in this commit are purely cosmetic, no functional changes are made.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation protocols in the GRO stack in the future. The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path, thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly. Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/ ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE. The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when validating the GRE csum. Note that commit 60769a5d "ipv4: gre: add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible. Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS). In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal. I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning will be needed to decide the best setting. All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs. (super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30) An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123) is configured. The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off). 1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 9.16Gbps CPU utilization: 19% 1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 5.9Gbps CPU utilization: 15% 1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 12-13% 1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 10% The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE). 2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells) 2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.53Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.1.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.97Gbps CPU utilization: 7-8% 2.1.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.83Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% 2.1.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.98Gbps CPU utilization: 5% 2.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro off 2.2.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 5.93Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.2.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 5.62Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 7.69Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.96Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% Signed-off-by: H.K.

Completes checksum through skb_checksum_help() if not already done in GSO segmentation. Zerocopy is only performed if user space supported unaligned Netlink messages. memory mapped netlink i/o is preferred over zerocopy if it is set up. Cost of upcall is significantly reduced from: + 7.48% vhost-8471 [k] memcpy + 5.57% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy + 2.81% vhost-8471 [k] csum_partial_copy_generic to: + 5.72% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy + 3.32% vhost-5153 [k] memcpy + 0.68% vhost-5153 [k] skb_zerocopy (megaflows disabled) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

As we're only doing a kfree() anyway in the RCU callback, we can simply use kfree_rcu, which does the same job, and remove the function rcu_free_sw_flow_mask_cb() and rcu_free_acts_callback(). Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations, it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>
