bridge: Let bridge not age 'externally' learnt FDB entries, they are removed when 'external' entity notifies the aging When 'learned_sync' flag is turned on, the offloaded switch port syncs learned MAC addresses to bridge's FDB via switchdev notifier (NETDEV_SWITCH_FDB_ADD). Currently, FDB entries learnt via this mechanism are wrongly being deleted by bridge aging logic. This patch ensures that FDB entries synced from offloaded switch ports are not deleted by bridging logic. Such entries can only be deleted via switchdev notifier (NETDEV_SWITCH_FDB_DEL).

Freescale ethernet controllers have the capability to re-assemble fragmented data into a single ethernet frame. This patch uses this capability and implements NETIP_F_SG feature into the fs_enet ethernet driver. On a MPC885, I get 53% performance improvement on a ftp transfer of a 15Mb file: * Without the patch : 2,8 Mbps * With the patch : 4,3 Mbps Signed-off-by:

A typical qdisc setup is the following : bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu doing the send. Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus, due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets. CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1 CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0 CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0) get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu might be different than CPUA. P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping), if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock) Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX queue for a while) To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb. We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu, granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for this union idea) Signed-off-by:Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Currntly, if we are not doing UFO on the packet, all UDP packets will start with CHECKSUM_NONE and thus perform full checksum computations in software even if device support IPv6 checksum offloading. Let's start start with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL if the device supports it and we are sending only a single packet at or below mtu size. Signed-off-by:

This commit is very similar to commit 1c32c5ad Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Date: Tue Mar 1 02:36:47 2011 +0000 inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb It adds IPv6 version of the helpers ip6_make_skb and ip6_finish_skb. The job of ip6_make_skb is to collect messages into an ipv6 packet and poplulate ipv6 eader. The job of ip6_finish_skb is to transmit the generated skb. Together they replicated the job of ip6_push_pending_frames() while also provide the capability to be called independently. This will be needed to add lockless UDP sendmsg support. Signed-off-by:

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic. For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as explained in commit e3118e83 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE. For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue. As already explained in e3118e83, running DCTCP at scale when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of connection probability. This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being considered a terrible idea in the network community as it splits single flows across multiple network paths. Therefore, commit e3118e83 implements this on Linux as ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't speak against the draft. However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== net-timestamp: blinding Changes (v2 -> v3) - rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev (v1 -> v2) - fix capability check in patch 2 this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser() (rfc -> v1) - dropped patch 4: timestamp batching due to complexity, as discussed - dropped patch 5: default mode because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed - added documentation - minor fix, see patch 2 Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions: 1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers 2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking legacy behavior. Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv() calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is considerably simpler. Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/ Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option. Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working. ==================== Acked-by:Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set. Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW. The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack. It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier. No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible breakage of legacy applications.

Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets. Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata. Signed-off-by:

Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== switchdev offload flags This patch series introduces new offload flags for switchdev. Kernel network subsystems can use this flag to accelerate network functions by offloading to hw. I expect that there will be need for subsystem specific feature flag in the future. This patch series currently only addresses bridge driver link attribute offloads to hardware. Looking at the current state of bridge l2 offload in the kernel, - flag 'self' is the way to directly manage the bridge device in hw via the ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls - flag 'master' is always used to manage the in kernel bridge devices via the same ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls Today these are used separately. The nic offloads use hwmode "vepa/veb" to go directly to hw with the "self" flag. At this point i am trying not to introduce any new user facing flags/attributes. In the model where we want the kernel bridging to be accelerated with hardware, we very much want the bridge driver to be involved. In this proposal, - The offload flag/bit helps switch asic drivers to indicate that they accelerate the kernel networking objects/functions - The user does not have to specify a new flag to do so. A bridge created with switch asic ports will be accelerated if the switch driver supports it. - The user can continue to directly manage l2 in nics (ixgbe) using the existing hwmode/self flags - It also does not stop users from using the 'self' flag to talk to the switch asic driver directly - Involving the bridge driver makes sure the add/del notifications to user space go out after both kernel and hardware are programmed (To selectively offload bridge port attributes, example learning in hw only etc, we can introduce offload bits for per bridge port flag attribute as in my previous patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/413211/. I have not included that in this series) v2 - try a different name for the offload flag/bit - tries to solve the stacked netdev case by traversing the lowerdev list to reach the switch port v3 - - Tested with bond as bridge port for the stacked device case. Includes a bond_fix_features change to not ignore the NETIF_F_HW_NETFUNC_OFFLOAD flag - Some checkpatch fixes v4 - - rename flag to NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD - add ndo_bridge_setlink/dellink handlers in bond and team drivers as suggested by jiri. - introduce default ndo_dflt_netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink/dellink handlers that masters can use to call offload api on lowerdevs. ==================== Signed-off-by:Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

We want bond to pick up the offload flag if any of its slaves have it. NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD flag is added to the mask, so that netdev_increment_features does not ignore it.

-
Roopa Prabhu authored
This patch adds support to set/del bridge port attributes in hardware from the bridge driver. With this, when the user sends a bridge setlink message with no flags or master flags set, - the bridge driver ndo_bridge_setlink handler sets settings in the kernel - calls the swicthdev api to propagate the attrs to the switchdev hardware You can still use the self flag to go to the switch hw or switch port driver directly. With this, it also makes sure a notification goes out only after the attributes are set both in the kernel and hw. The patch calls switchdev api only if BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF is not set. This is because the offload cases with BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF are handled in the caller (in rtnetlink.c). Signed-off-by:

This patch adds two new api's netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink and netdev_switch_port_bridge_dellink to offload bridge port attributes to switch port (The names of the apis look odd with 'switch_port_bridge', but am more inclined to change the prefix of the api to something else. Will take any suggestions). The api's look at the NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag to pass bridge port attributes to the port device. Signed-off-by:

Olivier Sobrie authored
The serial_table is used to map the minor number of the usb serial device to its associated context. The table is updated in the probe method and in hso_serial_ref_free() which is called either from the tty cleanup method or from the usb disconnect method. This patch ensures that the serial_table is updated in the disconnect method and no more from the cleanup method to avoid the following potential race condition. - hso_disconnect() is called for usb interface "x". Because the serial port was open and because the cleanup method of the tty_port hasn't been called yet, hso_serial_ref_free() is not run. - hso_probe() is called and fails for a new hso serial usb interface "y". The function hso_free_interface() is called and iterates over the element of serial_table to find the device associated to the usb interface context. If the usb interface context of usb interface "y" has been created at the same place as for usb interface "x", then the cleanup functions are called for usb interfaces "x" and "y" and hso_serial_ref_free() is called for both interfaces. - release_tty() is called for serial port linked to usb interface "x" and possibly crash because the tty_port structure contained in the hso_device structure has been freed.
