I recently reported on the netem list that iperf network benchmarks
show unexpected results when a bandwidth throttling rate has been
configured for netem. Specifically:
1) The measured link bandwidth *increases* when a higher delay is added
2) The measured link bandwidth appears higher than the specified limit
3) The measured link bandwidth for the same very slow settings varies significantly across
machines
The issue can be reproduced by using tc to configure netem with a
512kbit rate and various (none, 1us, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms) delays on a
veth pair between network namespaces, and then using iperf (or any
other network benchmarking tool) to test throughput. Complete detailed
instructions are in the original email chain here:
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/netem/2017-February/001672.html
There appear to be two underlying bugs causing these effects:
- The first issue causes long delays when the rate is slow and no
delay is configured (e.g., "rate 512kbit"). This is because SKBs are
not orphaned when no delay is configured, so orphaning does not
occur until *after* the rate-induced delay has been applied. For
this reason, adding a tiny delay (e.g., "rate 512kbit delay 1us")
dramatically increases the measured bandwidth.
- The second issue is that rate-induced delays are not correctly
applied, allowing SKB delays to occur in parallel. The indended
approach is to compute the delay for an SKB and to add this delay to
the end of the current queue. However, the code does not detect
existing SKBs in the queue due to improperly testing sch->q.qlen,
which is nonzero even when packets exist only in the
rbtree. Consequently, new SKBs do not wait for the current queue to
empty. When packet delays vary significantly (e.g., if packet sizes
are different), then this also causes unintended reordering.
I modified the code to expect a delay (and orphan the SKB) when a rate
is configured. I also added some defensive tests that correctly find
the latest scheduled delivery time, even if it is (unexpectedly) for a
packet in sch->q. I have tested these changes on the latest kernel
(4.11.0-rc1+) and the iperf / ping test results are as expected.

Anyway, hfc_multi_8xx.h only uses 8xx I/O ports which are
linked to the CPM1 communication processor included in the 8xx
rather than the 8xx itself.
This patch therefore makes it dependent on CONFIG_CPM1 instead,

Now that port netdevs can be enslaved to a VRF master we need to make
sure the device's routing tables won't be flushed upon the insertion of
a l3mdev rule.
Note that we assume the notified l3mdev rule is a simple rule as used by
the VRF master. We don't check for the presence of other selectors such
as 'iif' and 'oif'.

Allow port netdevs, LAG and VLAN devices stacked on top of these to be
enslaved to a VRF master device.
Upon enslavement, create a router interface (RIF) for the enslaved
netdev and associate it with a virtual router (VR) based on the VRF's
table ID.
If a RIF already exists for the netdev (f.e., due to the existence of an
IP address), then it's deleted and a new one is created with the
appropriate VR binding.

Allow listeners of the subsequent CHANGEUPPER notification to retrieve
the VRF's table ID by calling l3mdev_fib_table() with the slave netdev.
Without this change, the netdev won't be considered an L3 slave and the
function would return 0.
This is consistent with other master device such as bridge and bond that
set the slave's private flag before linking. It also makes
do_vrf_{add,del}_slave() symmetric.

In commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB
notifier") we dumped the FIB tables and replayed the events to the
passed notification block.
However, we merely sent a RULE_ADD notification in case custom rules
were in use. As explained in previous patches, this approach won't work
anymore. Instead, we should notify the caller about all the FIB rules
and let it act accordingly.
Upon registration to the FIB notification chain, replay a RULE_ADD
notification for each programmed FIB rule, custom or not. The integrity
of the dump is ensured by the mechanism introduced in the above
mentioned commit.
Prevent regressions by making sure current listeners correctly sanitize
the notified rules.

Whenever a FIB rule is added or removed, a notification is sent in the
FIB notification chain. However, listeners don't have a way to tell
which rule was added or removed.
This is problematic as we would like to give listeners the ability to
decide which action to execute based on the notified rule. Specifically,
offloading drivers should be able to determine if they support the
reflection of the notified FIB rule and flush their LPM tables in case
they don't.
Do that by adding a notifier info to these notifications and embed the
common FIB rule struct in it.

Currently, when non-default (custom) FIB rules are used, devices capable
of layer 3 offloading flush their tables and let the kernel do the
forwarding instead.
When these devices' drivers are loaded they register to the FIB
notification chain, which lets them know about the existence of any
custom FIB rules. This is done by sending a RULE_ADD notification based
on the value of 'net->ipv4.fib_has_custom_rules'.
This approach is problematic when VRF offload is taken into account, as
upon the creation of the first VRF netdev, a l3mdev rule is programmed
to direct skbs to the VRF's table.
Instead of merely reading the above value and sending a single RULE_ADD
notification, we should iterate over all the FIB rules and send a
detailed notification for each, thereby allowing offloading drivers to
sanitize the rules they don't support and potentially flush their
tables.
While l3mdev rules are uniquely marked, the default rules are not.
Therefore, when they are being notified they might invoke offloading
drivers to unnecessarily flush their tables.
Solve this by adding an helper to check if a FIB rule is a default rule.
Namely, its selector should match all packets and its action should
point to the local, main or default tables.
As noted by David Ahern, uniquely marking the default rules is
insufficient. When using VRFs, it's common to avoid false hits by moving
the rule for the local table to just before the main table:
Default configuration:
$ ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
Common configuration with VRFs:
$ ip rule show
1000: from all lookup [l3mdev-table]
32765: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default

If a DSA switch driver cannot program an ageing time value due to it
being out-of-range, switchdev will raise a stack trace before failing.
To fix this, add ageing_time_min and ageing_time_max members to the
dsa_switch in order for the switch drivers to optionally specify their
supported ageing time limits.
The DSA core will now check for provided ageing time limits and return
-ERANGE from the switchdev prepare phase if the value is out-of-range.

The configurable priority to traffic class mapping and the user specified
queue ranges are used to configure the traffic class, overriding the
hardware defaults when the 'hw' option is set to 0. However, when the 'hw'
option is non-zero, the hardware QOS defaults are used.
This patch makes it so that we can pass the data the user provided to
ndo_setup_tc. This allows us to pull in the queue configuration if the
user requested it as well as any additional hardware offload type
requested by using a value other than 1 for the hw value.
Finally it also provides a means for the device driver to return the level
supported for the offload type via the qopt->hw value. Previously we were
just always assuming the value to be 1, in the future values beyond just 1
may be supported.

This patch is meant to allow for support of multiple hardware offload type
for a single device. There is currently no bounds checking for the hw
member of the mqprio_qopt structure. This results in us being able to pass
values from 1 to 255 with all being treated the same. On retreiving the
value it is returned as 1 for anything 1 or greater being set.
With this change we are currently adding limited bounds checking by
defining an enum and using those values to limit the reported hardware
offloads.
