Merge branch 'phys_port'
Jiri Pirko says:
====================
This patchset is based on patch by Narendra_K@Dell.com
Once device which can change phys port id during its lifetime adopts this,
NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID event will be added and driver will call
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID, dev) to propagate
the change to userspace.
v1->v2: as suggested by Ben, handle -EOPNOTSUPP in rtnl code (wrapped up ndo call)
v2->v3: adjusted patch 1 commit message
v3->v4: used "%phN" for sysfs printf as suggested by DaveM
added igb/igbvf implementation as requested by Or Gerlitz
v4->v5: used prandom_u32 to generate id in igb_probe
removed duplicate code in ibgvf_probe
pushed dev_err string into one line in igbvf_refresh_ppid
v5->v6: use uuid_le_gen for generating 16-byte phys port id for igb/igbvf
as suggested by BenH
1) Why do we need this, and why do existing facilities fail to provide
a way to accomplish this?
Currenty there's very hard to tell if two netdevs are using the same physical
port. For sr-iov this can be get by sysfs. For other mechanisms, like NPAR
there's very hard to do it (one must learn it from NIC BIOS). But even for
sr-iov there's no way to say if two netdevs are using the same phys port when
these are passed through to virtual guests.
This patchset provides the generic way of letting this information know to
userspace. This info can be used by apps like NetworkManager, teamd, Wicked,
ovs daemon, etc, to do smarter bonding decisions.
2) Why is the physical port ID defined as a 32 byte opaque cookie?
What formats and layouts need to be accomodated, and which
influenced the design of the ID?
For user to distinguish if two netdevs are using the same port, he only needs
to compare their phys port ids. Nothing else is needed. This id has no
structure for security reasons. VF should not know anything about PF.
3) Are IDs globally unique? Why or why not? If IDs should be
globally unique, but only in certain cases, what exactly are those
cases.
Most of the time only uniqueness needed is in scope of single machine.
There might be case when the id should be unique between couple of machines
in virtualization environment. Given that for example for igb/igbvf 16B uuid
is used, there is no problem for this case as well. But each driver can
implement this differently focusing the hw capabilities and needs.

This patch adds a ndo for getting physical port of the device. Driver

solutions (NPAR, multichannel) as well. Basically if there is possible

The macros used for the various fields of the RX and TX descriptions

However, in order to support big endian, we'll have to use the "swap

SW: Set ownership for WQE 0 on the TX buffer
SW: Ring doorbell for WQE 0
SW: Build WQE 1 on the TX buffer, except the ownership bit
SW: Set ownership for WQE 1 on the TX buffer
HW: Read WQE 0 and then WQE 1, before doorbell was rung/BF was done for WQE 1
HW: Produce CQEs for WQE 0 and WQE 1
SW: Process the CQEs, and stamp WQE 0 and WQE 1 accordingly (on the TX buffer)
SW: Copy WQE 1 from the TX buffer to the BF register - ALREADY STAMPED!
HW: CQE error with index 0xFFFF - the BF WQE's control segment is STAMPED,
so the BF index is 0xFFFF. Error: Invalid Opcode.
As a result QP enters the error state and no traffic can be sent.
Solution:

USBNET: centralize computing of max rx/tx qlen
This patch centralizes computing of max rx/tx qlen, because:
- RX_QLEN()/TX_QLEN() is called in hot path
- computing depends on device's usb speed, now we have ls/fs, hs, ss,
so more checks need to be involved
- in fact, max rx/tx qlen should not only depend on device USB
speed, but also depend on ethernet link speed, so we need to
consider that in future.
- if SG support is done, max tx qlen may need change too
Generally, hard_mtu and rx_urb_size are changed in bind(), reset()
and link_reset() callback, and change mtu network operation, this

tuntap: hardware vlan tx support

tcp: TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option
Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of
unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory.
TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning
might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little
performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted :
Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not
necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room
for the application to queue more bytes)
For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give
applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time
(or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg())
This patch adds two ways to set the limit :
1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT
2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets
not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value)
Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect.
This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT
only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat
Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls
when using non blocking sockets,
and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets.
Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is
defined as :
Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until
the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol)
Tested:
netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP
With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory
used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458)

If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no
new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate
the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs.
This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is
only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e.,
SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator
is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious
timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and
RTT estimation on reordering events.

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that
have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply
even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it
must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet.
There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly
sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to
measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs.
Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with
TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may
not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED
check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new
RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms.
This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch.

Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both
