xps: fix xps for stacked devices
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)

Turned off UFO support to virtio-net based devices due to issues
with IPv6 fragment id generation for UFO packets. The issue
was that IPv6 UFO/GSO implementation expects the fragment id
to be supplied in skb_shinfo(). However, for packets generated
by the VMs, the fragment id is not supplied which causes all
IPv6 fragments to have the id of 0.
The problem is that turning off UFO support on tap/macvtap
as well as virtio devices caused issues with migrations.
Migrations would fail when moving a vm from a kernel supporting
expecting UFO to work to the newer kernels that disabled UFO.
This series provides a partial solution to address the migration
issue. The series allows us to track whether skb_shinfo()->ip6_frag_id
has been set by treating value of 0 as unset.
This lets GSO code to generate fragment ids if they are necessary
(ex: packet was generated by VM or packet socket).
Since v3:
- Resolved build issue when IPv6 is a module.
- Removed trailing white space.
Since v2:
- Rebase and rebuild to make sure everything works. No changes
to the patches were done.
Since v1:
- Removed the skb bit and use value of 0 as tracker.
- Used Eric's suggestion to set fragment id as 0x80000000 if id
generation procedure yeilded a 0 result.
- Consolidated ipv6 id genration code.

to use a region starting at zero, which didn't work.
Expand quirk_cs5536_vsa() to read the base addresses from the BARs and
hard-code the sizes.
On Nix's system BAR 2's read-only value is 0x6200. Prior to 36e8164882ca,
we interpret that as a 512-byte BAR based on the lowest-order bit set. Per
datasheet sec 5.6.1, that BAR (MFGPT) requires only 64 bytes; use that to
avoid clearing any address bits if a platform uses only 64-byte alignment.

ARM: 8299/1: mm: ensure local active ASID is marked as allocated on rollover
Commit e1a5848e3398 ("ARM: 7924/1: mm: don't bother with reserved ttbr0
when running with LPAE") removed the use of the reserved TTBR0 value
for LPAE systems, since the ASID is held in the TTBR and can be updated
atomicly with the pgd of the next mm.
Unfortunately, this patch forgot to update flush_context, which
deliberately avoids marking the local active ASID as allocated, since we
used to switch via ASID zero and didn't need to allocate the ASID of
the previous mm. The side-effect of this is that we can allocate the
same ASID to the next mm and, between flushing the local TLB and updating
TTBR0, we can perform speculative TLB fills for userspace nG mappings
using the page table of the previous mm.
The consequence of this is that the next mm can erroneously hit some
mappings of the previous mm. Note that this was made significantly
harder to hit by a391263cd84e ("ARM: 8203/1: mm: try to re-use old ASID
assignments following a rollover") but is still theoretically possible.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the code from flush_context
that forces the allocated ASID to zero for the local CPU. Many thanks
to the Broadcom guys for tracking this one down.

net: dctcp: loosen requirement to assert ECT(0) during 3WHS
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 e3118e8359bb ("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 e3118e8359bb, 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 e3118e8359bb 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.

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

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.
