When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() always allocates 8 bytes for the name server option, limiting the BOOTP server to responding with at most 2 name servers even though ipconfig in fact supports an arbitrary number of name servers (as defined by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX, which is currently 3). Only request name servers in the request packet if CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX is positive (to comply with [1, §3.8]), and allocate enough space in the packet for CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers to indicate the maximum number we can accept in response.

When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() allocates 8 bytes for tag 5 ("Name Server" [1, §3.7]), but tag 5 in the response isn't processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(). Instead, allocate the 8 bytes to tag 6 ("Domain Name Server" [1, §3.8]), which is processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(), and appears to have been the intended tag to request. This won't cause any breakage for existing users, as tag 5 responses provided by BOOTP servers weren't being processed anyway.

Commit 5e953778 ("ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=") adds the IP addresses of discovered name servers to the summary printed by ipconfig when configuration is complete. It appears the intention in ip_auto_config() was to print the name servers on a new line (especially given the spacing and lack of comma before "nameserver0="), but they're actually printed on the same line as the NFS root filesystem configuration summary: [ 0.686186] IP-Config: Complete: [ 0.686226] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1 [ 0.686328] host=test, domain=example.com, nis-domain=(none) [ 0.686386] bootserver=10.0.0.1, rootserver=10.0.0.1, rootpath= nameserver0=10.0.0.1 This makes it harder to read and parse ipconfig's output. Instead, print the name servers on a separate line: [ 0.791250] IP-Config: Complete: [ 0.791289] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1 [ 0.791407] host=test, domain=example.com, nis-domain=(none) [ 0.791475] bootserver=10.0.0.1, rootserver=10.0.0.1, rootpath= [ 0.791476] nameserver0=10.0.0.1 Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

ic_do_bootp_ext() is responsible for parsing the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel parameters. If a "." character is found in parameter 4 (the client's hostname), everything before the first "." is used as the hostname, and everything after it is used as the NIS domain name (but not necessarily the DNS domain name). Document this behaviour in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt, as it is not made explicit. Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

NeilBrown authored
When a walk of an rhashtable is interrupted with rhastable_walk_stop() and then rhashtable_walk_start(), the location to restart from is based on a 'skip' count in the current hash chain, and this can be incorrect if insertions or deletions have happened. This does not happen when the walk is not stopped and started as iter->p is a placeholder which is safe to use while holding the RCU read lock. In rhashtable_walk_start() we can revalidate that 'p' is still in the same hash chain. If it isn't then the current method is still used. With this patch, if a rhashtable walker ensures that the current object remains in the table over a stop/start period (possibly by elevating the reference count if that is sufficient), it can be sure that a walk will not miss objects that were in the hashtable for the whole time of the walk. rhashtable_walk_start() may not find the object even though it is still in the hashtable if a rehash has moved it to a new table. In this case it will (eventually) get -EAGAIN and will need to proceed through the whole table again to be sure to see everything at least once.

Tal Gilboa says: ==================== Introduce adaptive TX interrupt moderation to net DIM Net DIM is a library designed for dynamic interrupt moderation. It was implemented and optimized with receive side interrupts in mind, since these are usually the CPU expensive ones. This patch-set introduces adaptive transmit interrupt moderation to net DIM, complete with a usage in the mlx5e driver. Using adaptive TX behavior would reduce interrupt rate for multiple scenarios. Furthermore, it is essential for increasing bandwidth on cases where payload aggregation is required. v3: Remove "inline" from functions in .c files (requested by DaveM). Revert adding "enabled" field from struct net_dim and applied mlx5e structural suggestions (suggested by SaeedM). v2: Rebase over proper tree. v1: Fix compilation issues due to missed function renaming. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add support for adaptive TX moderation. This greatly reduces TX interrupt rate and increases bandwidth, mostly for TCP bandwidth over ARM architecture (below). There is a slight single stream TCP with very large message sizes degradation (x86). In this case if there's any moderation on transmitted packets the bandwidth would reduce due to hitting TCP output limit. Since this is a synthetic case, this is still worth doing. Performance improvement (ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, ARM) TCP 64B bandwidth with 1-50 streams increased 6-35%. TCP 64B bandwidth with 100-500 streams increased 20-70%. Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: increased up to 40% (1024B with 10s of streams). Interrupt rate: reduced up to 50% (1024B with 1000s of streams). Performance degradation (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) Bandwidth: up to 10% decrease single stream TCP (1MB message size from 51Gb/s to 47Gb/s).

Interrupt moderation for TX traffic requires different profiles than RX interrupt moderation. The main goal here is to reduce interrupt rate and allow better payload aggregation by keeping SKBs in the TX queue a bit longer. Ping-pong behavior would get a profile with a short timer, so latency wouldn't increase for these scenarios. There might be a slight degradation in bandwidth for single stream with large message sizes, since net.ipv4.tcp_limit_output_bytes is limiting the allowed TX traffic, but with many streams performance is always improved.

Similar to commit a2ac9990 ("vhost-net: set packet weight of tx polling to 2 * vq size"), we need a packet-based limit for handler_rx, too - elsewhere, under rx flood with small packets, tx can be delayed for a very long time, even without busypolling. The pkt limit applied to handle_rx must be the same applied by handle_tx, or we will get unfair scheduling between rx and tx. Tying such limit to the queue length makes it less effective for large queue length values and can introduce large process scheduler latencies, so a constant valued is used - likewise the existing bytes limit. The selected limit has been validated with PVP[1] performance test with different queue sizes: queue size 256 512 1024 baseline 366 354 362 weight 128 715 723 670 weight 256 740 745 733 weight 512 600 460 583 weight 1024 423 427 418 A packet weight of 256 gives peek performances in under all the tested scenarios. No measurable regression in unidirectional performance tests has been detected.

tcp_rcv_space_adjust is called every time data is copied to user space, introducing a tcp tracepoint for which could show us when the packet is copied to user. When a tcp packet arrives, tcp_rcv_established() will be called and with the existed tracepoint tcp_probe we could get the time when this packet arrives. Then this packet will be copied to user, and tcp_rcv_space_adjust will be called and with this new introduced tracepoint we could get the time when this packet is copied to user. With these two tracepoints, we could figure out whether the user program processes this packet immediately or there's latency. Hence in the printk message, sk_cookie is printed as a key to relate tcp_rcv_space_adjust with tcp_probe. Maybe we could export sockfd in this new tracepoint as well, then we could relate this new tracepoint with epoll/read/recv* tracepoints, and finally that could show us the whole lifespan of this packet. But we could also implement that with pid as these functions are executed in process context. Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Ahern says: ==================== net/ipv6: Another followup to the fib6_info change Last one - for this week. Patches 1, 2 and 7 are more cleanup patches - removing dead code, moving code from a header to near its single caller, and updating function name. Patches 3-5 do some refactoring leading up to patch 6 which fixes a NULL dereference. I have only managed to trigger a panic once, so I can not definitively confirm it addresses the problem but it seems pretty clear that it is a race on removing a 'from' reference on an rt6_info and another path using that 'from' value to do cookie checking. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When a dst entry is created from a fib entry, the 'from' in rt6_info is set to the fib entry. The 'from' reference is used most notably for cookie checking - making sure stale dst entries are updated if the fib entry is changed. When a fib entry is deleted, the pcpu routes on it are walked releasing the fib6_info reference. This is needed for the fib6_info cleanup to happen and to make sure all device references are released in a timely manner. There is a race window when a FIB entry is deleted and the 'from' on the pcpu route is dropped and the pcpu route hits a cookie check. Handle this race using rcu on from.
