2014-11-12net: Add device Rx page allocation functionAlexander Duyck1-0/+48
This patch implements __dev_alloc_pages and __dev_alloc_page. These are meant to replace the __skb_alloc_pages and __skb_alloc_page functions. The reason for doing this is that it occurred to me that __skb_alloc_page is supposed to be passed an sk_buff pointer, but it is NULL in all cases where it is used. Worse is that in the case of ixgbe it is passed NULL via the sk_buff pointer in the rx_buffer info structure which means the compiler is not correctly stripping it out. The naming for these functions is based on dev_alloc_skb and __dev_alloc_skb. There was originally a netdev_alloc_page, however that was passed a net_device pointer and this function is not so I thought it best to follow that naming scheme since that is the same difference between dev_alloc_skb and netdev_alloc_skb. In the case of anything greater than order 0 it is assumed that we want a compound page so __GFP_COMP is set for all allocations as we expect a compound page when assigning a page frag. The other change in this patch is to exploit the behaviors of the page allocator in how it handles flags. So for example we can always set __GFP_COMP and __GFP_MEMALLOC since they are ignored if they are not applicable or are overridden by another flag.

2014-11-11net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimitedJoe Perches2-10/+3
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro. All messages are still ratelimited. Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG. This may have some negative impact on messages that were emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled. Even so, these messages are now _not_ emitted by default. This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl "/proc/sys/net/core/warnings". For backward compatibility, the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function. The extern declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c Miscellanea: o Update the sysctl documentation o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt o Coalesce format fragments o Realign arguments Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-11-11net/mlx4_en: Extend checksum offloading by CHECKSUM COMPLETEShani Michaeli1-0/+1
When processing received traffic, pass CHECKSUM_COMPLETE status to the stack, with calculated checksum for non TCP/UDP packets (such as GRE or ICMP). Although the stack expects checksum which doesn't include the pseudo header, the HW adds it. To address that, we are subtracting the pseudo header checksum from the checksum value provided by the HW. In the IPv6 case, we also compute/add the IP header checksum which is not added by the HW for such packets.

2014-11-11net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPUEric Dumazet2-0/+14
Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple queues. Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool. Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed. We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet is enough to solve the problem. After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around processes, applications can use : int cpu; socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu); getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len); And use this information to put the socket into the right silo for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

There are also several LE/SMP fixes as well as improved support for handling LE devices that have lost their pairing information (the patches from Alfonso). Jukka provides a couple of stability fixes for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset handling fix for H5." For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Major changes are: o ethtool support (Ben) o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal) o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification purposes (me) o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal) o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me) o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar) o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me) And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation. The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC. The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on devcoredump.

2014-11-10net: gro: add a per device gro flush timerEric Dumazet1-10/+10
Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

2014-11-05fast_hash: avoid indirect function callsHannes Frederic Sowa2-36/+34
By default the arch_fast_hash hashing function pointers are initialized to jhash(2). If during boot-up a CPU with SSE4.2 is detected they get updated to the CRC32 ones. This dispatching scheme incurs a function pointer lookup and indirect call for every hashing operation. rhashtable as a user of arch_fast_hash e.g. stores pointers to hashing functions in its structure, too, causing two indirect branches per hashing operation. Using alternative_call we can get away with one of those indirect branches.

2014-11-04net: allow setting ecn via routing tableFlorian Westphal1-1/+1
This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest of the stack acts according to the global settings. One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this. Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc. There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US, Europe and Asia: Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely blamed to commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about 1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested. It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE when buffers start to fill up. We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes. Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish, but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

We can remove ECN handling from that function, split it into a separate one, and simply rename the original function into cookie_decode_options(). cookie_decode_options() just fills in tcp_option struct based on the echoed timestamp received from the peer. Anything that fails in this function will actually discard the request socket. While this is the natural place for decoding options such as ECN which commit 172d69e63c7f ("syncookies: add support for ECN") added, we argue that in particular for ECN handling, it can be checked at a later point in time as the request sock would actually not need to be dropped from this, but just ECN support turned off. Therefore, we split this functionality into cookie_ecn_ok(), which tells us if the timestamp indicates ECN support AND the tcp_ecn sysctl is enabled. This prepares for per-route ECN support: just looking at the tcp_ecn sysctl won't be enough anymore at that point; if the timestamp indicates ECN and sysctl tcp_ecn == 0, we will also need to check the ECN dst metric. This would mean adding a route lookup to cookie_check_timestamp(), which we definitely want to avoid. As we already do a route lookup at a later point in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(), we can simply make use of that as well for the new cookie_ecn_ok() function w/o any additional cost.

2014-11-04mac80211: replace restart_complete() with reconfig_complete()Eliad Peller1-6/+23
Drivers might want to know also when mac80211 has completed reconfiguring after resume (e.g. in order to know when frames can be passed to mac80211). Rename restart_complete() to a more-generic reconfig_complete(), and add a new enum to indicate the reconfiguration type. Update the current users with the new prototype.

2014-11-04mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode supportRostislav Lisovy1-0/+2
This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion. The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode). New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

2014-11-04cfg80211: 802.11p OCB mode handlingRostislav Lisovy2-0/+30
This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode. When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well). A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'. Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB' not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality (where needed) is added in the following patch. Signed-off-by: Rostislav Lisovy <rostislav.lisovy@fel.cvut.cz> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
