There is no need for tun to do the weird network namespace refcounting.
The existing network namespace refcounting in tfile has almost exactly
the same lifetime. So rewrite the code to use the struct sock network
namespace refcounting and remove the unnecessary hand rolled network
namespace refcounting and the unncesary tfile->net.
This change allows the tun code to directly call sock_put bypassing
sock_release and making SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED unnecessary.
Remove the now unncessary tun_release so that if anything tries to use
the sock_release code path the kernel will oops, and let us know about
the bug.
The macvtap code already uses it's internal socket this way.

For DCTCP or similar ECN based deployments on fabrics with shallow
buffers, hosts are responsible for a good part of the buffering.
This patch adds an optional ce_threshold to codel & fq_codel qdiscs,
so that DCTCP can have feedback from queuing in the host.
A DCTCP enabled egress port simply have a queue occupancy threshold
above which ECT packets get CE mark.
In codel language this translates to a sojourn time, so that one doesn't
have to worry about bytes or bandwidth but delays.
This makes the host an active participant in the health of the whole
network.
This also helps experimenting DCTCP in a setup without DCTCP compliant
fabric.
On following example, ce_threshold is set to 1ms, and we can see from
'ldelay xxx us' that TCP is not trying to go around the 5ms codel
target.
Queue has more capacity to absorb inelastic bursts (say from UDP
traffic), as queues are maintained to an optimal level.

====================
The following series introduce some pktgen changes
Patch01:
Cleanup my own work when I introduced NO_TIMESTAMP.
Patch02:
Took over patch from Alexei, and addressed my own concerns, as Alexie
is too busy with other work, and this will provide an easy tool for
measuring ingress path performance, which is a hot topic ATM.
Changes were primarily user interface related. Introduced a separate
"xmit_mode" setting, instead of stealing one of the dev flags like
Alexei did.

Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the
packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into
netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().
Default mode is called 'start_xmit'.
It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc
performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before
using it for other rx benchmarking.
Sample script 'pktgen.sh':
\#!/bin/bash
function pgset() {
local result
echo $1 > $PGDEV
result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
fi
}
[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 DEV" && exit 1
ETH=$1
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
pgset "rem_device_all"
pgset "add_device $ETH"
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive"
pgset "pkt_size 60"
pgset "dst 198.18.0.1"
pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff"
pgset "count 10000000"
pgset "burst 32"
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop"
pgset "start"
echo "Done"
cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
Usage:
$ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2
...
Result: OK: 232376(c232372+d3) usec, 10000000 (60byte,0frags)
43033682pps 20656Mb/sec (20656167360bps) errors: 10000000
Raw netif_receive_skb speed should be ~43 million packet
per second on 3.7Ghz x86 and 'perf report' should look like:
37.69% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
25.81% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kfree_skb
7.22% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ip_rcv
5.68% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker
If fib_table_lookup is seen on top, it means skb was processed
by the stack. To benchmark netif_receive_skb only make sure
that 'dst_mac' of your pktgen script is different from
receiving device mac and it will be dropped by ip_rcv

netns: ease netlink use with a lot of netns
This idea was informally discussed in Ottawa / netdev0.1. The goal is to
ease the use/scalability of netns, from a userland point of view.
Today, users need to open one netlink socket per family and per netns.
Thus, when the number of netns inscreases (for example 5K or more), the
number of sockets needed to manage them grows a lot.
The goal of this series is to be able to monitor netlink events, for a
specified family, for a set of netns, with only one netlink socket. For
this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID.
When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive
netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the
netns where the socket has been opened.
The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data.
Here is an example with a patched iproute2. vxlan10 is created in the
current netns (netns0, nsid 0) and then moved to another netns (netns1,
nsid 1):
$ ip netns exec netns0 ip monitor all-nsid label
[nsid 0][NSID]nsid 1 (iproute2 netns name: netns1)
[nsid 0][NEIGH]??? lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00 REACHABLE,PERMANENT

More accurately, listen all netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns
where the netlink socket is opened.
For this purpose, a netlink socket option is added:
NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID. When this option is set on a netlink socket, this
socket will receive netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid
assigned into the netns where the socket has been opened. The nsid is sent
to userland via an anscillary data.
With this patch, a daemon needs only one socket to listen many netns. This
is useful when the number of netns is high.
Because 0 is a valid value for a nsid, the field nsid_is_set indicates if
the field nsid is valid or not. skb->cb is initialized to 0 on skb
allocation, thus we are sure that we will never send a nsid 0 by error to
the userland.

Before this patch, nsid were protected by the rtnl lock. The goal of this
patch is to be able to find a nsid without needing to hold the rtnl lock.
The next patch will introduce a netlink socket option to listen to all
netns that have a nsid assigned into the netns where the socket is opened.
Thus, it's important to call rtnl_net_notifyid() outside the spinlock, to
avoid a recursive lock (nsid are notified via rtnl). This was the main
reason of the previous patch.

Under tcp memory pressure, calling epoll_wait() in edge triggered
mode after -EAGAIN, can result in an indefinite hang in epoll_wait(),
even when there is sufficient memory available to continue making
progress. The problem is that when __sk_mem_schedule() returns 0
under memory pressure, we do not set the SOCK_NOSPACE flag in the
tcp write paths (tcp_sendmsg() or do_tcp_sendpages()). Then, since
SOCK_NOSPACE is used to trigger wakeups when incoming acks create
sufficient new space in the write queue, all outstanding packets
are acked, but we never wake up with the the EPOLLOUT that we are
expecting from epoll_wait().
This issue is currently limited to epoll() when used in edge trigger
mode, since 'tcp_poll()', does in fact currently set SOCK_NOSPACE.
This is sufficient for poll()/select() and epoll() in level trigger
mode. However, in edge trigger mode, epoll() is relying on the write
path to set SOCK_NOSPACE. EPOLL(7) says that in edge-trigger mode we
can only call epoll_wait() after read/write return -EAGAIN. Thus, in
the case of the socket write, we are relying on the fact that
tcp_sendmsg()/network write paths are going to issue a wakeup for
us at some point in the future when we get -EAGAIN.
Normally, epoll() edge trigger works fine when we've exceeded the
sk->sndbuf because in that case we do set SOCK_NOSPACE. However, when
we return -EAGAIN from the write path b/c we are over the tcp memory
limits and not b/c we are over the sndbuf, we are never going to get
another wakeup.
I can reproduce this issue, using SO_SNDBUF, since __sk_mem_schedule()
will return 0, or failure more readily with SO_SNDBUF:
1) create socket and set SO_SNDBUF to N
2) add socket as edge trigger
3) write to socket and block in epoll on -EAGAIN
4) cause tcp mem pressure via: echo "<small val>" > net.ipv4.tcp_mem
The fix here is simply to set SOCK_NOSPACE in sk_stream_wait_memory()
when the socket is non-blocking. Note that SOCK_NOSPACE, in addition
to waking up outstanding waiters is also used to expand the size of
the sk->sndbuf. However, we will not expand it by setting it in this
case because tcp_should_expand_sndbuf(), ensures that no expansion
occurs when we are under tcp memory pressure.
Note that we could still hang if sk->sk_wmem_queue is 0, when we get
the -EAGAIN. In this case the SOCK_NOSPACE bit will not help, since we
are waiting for and event that will never happen. I believe
that this case is harder to hit (and did not hit in my testing),
in that over the tcp 'soft' memory limits, we continue to guarantee a
minimum write buffer size. Perhaps, we could return -ENOSPC in this
case, or maybe we simply issue a wakeup in this case, such that we
keep retrying the write. Note that this case is not specific to
epoll() ET, but rather would affect blocking sockets as well. So I
view this patch as bringing epoll() edge-trigger into sync with the
current poll()/select()/epoll() level trigger and blocking sockets
behavior.

Handle TxFIFO underrun exceptions outside the fast path.
A controller reset is more reliable in this exceptional
case, as opposed to re-enabling on-the-fly the Tx DMA.
As the controller reset is handled outside the fast path
by the reset_gfar() workqueue handler, the locking
scheme on the Tx path is significantly simplified.
Because the Tx processing (xmit queues and tx napi) is
disabled during controller reset, tstat access from xmit
does not require locking. So the scope of the txlock on
the processing path is now reduced to num_txbdfree, which
is shared only between process context (xmit) and softirq
(clean_tx_ring). As a result, the txlock must not guard
against interrupt context, and the spin_lock_irqsave()
from xmit can be replaced by spin_lock_bh(). Likewise,
the locking has been downgraded for clean_tx_ring().

Seccomp has always been a special candidate when it comes to preparation
of its filters in seccomp_prepare_filter(). Due to the extra checks and
filter rewrite it partially duplicates code and has BPF internals exposed.
This patch adds a generic API inside the BPF code code that seccomp can use
and thus keep it's filter preparation code minimal and better maintainable.
The other side-effect is that now classic JITs can add seccomp support as
well by only providing a BPF_LDX | BPF_W | BPF_ABS translation.
Tested with seccomp and BPF test suites.

When seccomp BPF was added, it was discussed to add __GFP_NOWARN
flag for their configuration path as f.e. up to 32K allocations are
more prone to fail under stress. As we're going to reuse BPF API,
add __GFP_NOWARN flags where larger kmalloc() and friends allocations
could fail.
It doesn't make much sense to pass around __GFP_NOWARN everywhere as
an extra argument only for seccomp while we just as well could run
into similar issues for socket filters, where it's not desired to
have a user application throw a WARN() due to allocation failure.

Remove the calls to bpf_check_classic(), bpf_convert_filter() and
bpf_migrate_runtime() and let bpf_prepare_filter() take care of that
instead.
seccomp_check_filter() is passed to bpf_prepare_filter() so that it
gets called from there, after bpf_check_classic().
We can now remove exposure of two internal classic BPF functions
previously used by seccomp. The export of bpf_check_classic() symbol,
previously known as sk_chk_filter(), was there since pre git times,
and no in-tree module was using it, therefore remove it.

This is in preparation for use by the seccomp code, the rationale is
not to duplicate additional code within the seccomp layer, but instead,
have it abstracted and hidden within the classic BPF API.
As an interim step, this now also makes bpf_prepare_filter() visible
(not as exported symbol though), so that seccomp can reuse that code
path instead of reimplementing it.

TCPWinProbe and TCPKeepAlive
v2: added TCPKeepAlive counter, as suggested by Yuchung & Neal

Diagnosing problems related to Window Probes has been hard because
we lack a counter.
TCPWinProbe counts the number of ACK packets a sender has to send
at regular intervals to make sure a reverse ACK packet opening back
a window had not been lost.
TCPKeepAlive counts the number of ACK packets sent to keep TCP
flows alive (SO_KEEPALIVE)

With the advent of small rto timers in datacenter TCP,
(ip route ... rto_min x), the following can happen :
1) Qdisc is full, transmit fails.
TCP sets a timer based on icsk_rto to retry the transmit, without
exponential backoff.
With low icsk_rto, and lot of sockets, all cpus are servicing timer
interrupts like crazy.
Intent of the code was to retry with a timer between 200 (TCP_RTO_MIN)
and 500ms (TCP_RESOURCE_PROBE_INTERVAL)
2) Receivers can send zero windows if they don't drain their receive queue.
TCP sends zero window probes, based on icsk_rto current value, with
exponential backoff.
With /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2 being 15 (or even smaller in
some cases), sender can abort in less than one or two minutes !
If receiver stops the sender, it obviously doesn't care of very tight
rto. Probability of dropping the ACK reopening the window is not
worth the risk.
Lets change the base timer to be at least 200ms (TCP_RTO_MIN) for these
events (but not normal RTO based retransmits)
A followup patch adds a new SNMP counter, as it would have helped a lot
diagnosing this issue.

Default link properties can be set for media or bearer. This
functionality was missed when introducing the NL compatibility layer.
This patch implements this functionality in the compat netlink
layer. It works the same way as it did in the old API. We search for
media and bearers matching the "link name". If we find a matching
media or bearer the link tolerance, priority or window is used as
default for new links on that media or bearer.

====================
be2net: patch-set
The following patch-set has two new feature additions, and a few
minor fixes and cleanups.
Pls consider applying to the net-next tree. Thanks.
v2 changes:
a) dropped the "don't enable pause by default" patch
b) described how the "spoof check" works in patch 1's commit log
c) I had to update our email addresses from "@emulex" to
"@avagotech". I'll send a separate patch updating the
maintainers
Patch 1 adds support for the "spoofchk" knob for VFs.
When it is enabled, "spoof checking" is done for both MAC-address
and VLAN. For each VF, the HW ensures that the source MAC address
(or vlan) of every outgoing packet of the VF exists in the MAC-list
(or vlan-list) configured for RX filtering for that VF.
If not, the packet is dropped and an error is reported to the driver
in the TX completion.
Patch 2 improves interrupt moderation on Skyhawk-R chip by using
the EQ-DB mechanism to set a "re-arm to interrupt" delay. Currently
interrupt moderation is adjusted by calculating and configuring an
EQ-delay every second. This is done via a FW-cmd. This patch uses
the EQ_DB facility to calculate and set the interrupt delay every 1ms.
This helps moderating interrupts better when the traffic is bursty.
Patch 3 adds L3/L4 error accounting to BE3 VFs, by passing L3/4 error
packets to the network stack.
Patch 4 adds an extra FW-cmd error value check in the driver to identify
an "out of vlan filters" scenario.
Patch 5 stops enabling pause by default as this setting fails in
some HW-configs where priority pause is enabled in FW. If the user
tries to do the same, an appropriate error is returned via ethtool.
Patch 5 posts the full RXQ in be_open() to prevent packet drops due to
bursty traffic when the interface is enabled.
Patch 6 refactors the be_check_ufi_compatibility() routine, that checks
to see if a UFI file meant for a lower rev of a chip is being flashed
on a higher rev, to make it simpler.
Patch 7 replaces the usage of !be_physfn() macro with be_virtfn()
that is already avialble in the driver.
Patch 8 updates the year in the copyright text to 2015.
Path 9 bumps up the driver version to 10.6.02.

When an RXQ is created in be_open(), the driver currently posts only

burst as soon as the interface is enabled.

Currently pkts with L3 or L4 errors received on PFs are not dropped
by the adapter, but instead sent to the stack. This helps the network stack
to better reflect error statistics. This was not being done on BE3 VFs.

Currently adaptive interrupt moderation is set by calculating
and configuring an EQ-delay every second. This is done via
a FW-cmd. But, on Skyhawk-R a "re-arm to interrupt" delay
can be set while ringing the EQ-DB. This patch uses this
facility to calculate and set the interrupt delay every 1ms.
This helps moderating interrupts better when the traffic
is bursty.

====================
sfc: Enabling EF10 Vf's, set up vswitching and bind the SFC driver to the VF's
This set of patches makes way for the implementation of EF10
SR-IOV driver starting with some cleanup code.
NIC specific SR-IOV functions are moved to their own header
and netdev_ops are made generic instead of being NIC specific
Next in line comes the patch to enable VF's using sriov_configure.
VEB vswitching hierarchy is set up next followed by patches to
prepare sfc driver to bind to enabled VF's
This is followed by patch to support use of shared RSS contexts
which makes VF's use shared RSS contexts in all cases.
Patch series ends with a patch to bind the sfc driver to the
enabled VF's which creates network interfaces corresponding to
the VF's.
Coming up soon are the patches to set_vf_mac, set_vf_config,
set_vf_vlan, vf_spoofcheck, etc.
These patches have been tested with and without CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV.
In the case of CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV=y enabling of VF's using
sriov_configure is also tested. The enabled VF's bind to the
installed sfc driver succesfully to create network interfaces.
In the case of CONFIG_SFC_SRIOV=n enabling of VF's using
sriov_configure returns the correct error message:
"Function not implemented".

Add the device ID of the VF to the PCI device ID table.
Added a boolean flag is_vf in efx_nic_type to differentiate
between a VF and PF at probe time. This flag is useful in later
patches while setting MAC address specially in the
PCI-passthrough case.

Allow PFs to allocate shared RSS contexts if we exhaust our
exclusive RSS contexts. Make VFs use shared RSS contexts in
all cases.
Spruce up error handling so that the shadow copy of the RSS
table is updated after successful update, rather than in all
cases, so that we report the actual contents of the RSS table
after a failure to set it, rather than what we'd like it to be.
Populate context_size parameter when vacuously allocating RSS
context of size 1.

* Accept EPERM in some simple cases, the following cases are handled:
1) efx_mcdi_read_assertion()
Unprivileged PCI functions aren't allowed to GET_ASSERTS.
We return success as it's up to the primary PF to deal with asserts.
2) efx_mcdi_mon_probe() in efx_ef10_probe()
Unprivileged PCI functions aren't allowed to read sensor info, and
worrying about sensor data is the primary PF's job.
3) phy_op->reconfigure() in efx_init_port() and efx_reset_up()
Unprivileged functions aren't allowed to MC_CMD_SET_LINK, they just have
to accept the settings (including flow-control, which is what
efx_init_port() is worried about) they've been given.
4) Fallback to GET_WORKAROUNDS in efx_ef10_probe()
Unprivileged PCI functions aren't allowed to set workarounds. So if
efx_mcdi_set_workaround() fails EPERM, use efx_mcdi_get_workarounds()
to find out if workaround_35388 is enabled.
5) If DRV_ATTACH gets EPERM, try without specifying fw-variant
Unprivileged PCI functions have to use a FIRMWARE_ID of 0xffffffff
(MC_CMD_FW_DONT_CARE).
6) Don't try to exit_assertion unless one had fired
Previously we called efx_mcdi_exit_assertion even if
efx_mcdi_read_assertion had received MC_CMD_GET_ASSERTS_FLAGS_NO_FAILS.
This is unnecessary, and the resulting MC_CMD_REBOOT, even if the
AFTER_ASSERTION flag made it a no-op, would fail EPERM for unprivileged
PCI functions.
So make efx_mcdi_read_assertion return whether an assert happened, and only
call efx_mcdi_exit_assertion if it has.
