2014-07-15net-timestamp: document deprecated syststampWillem de Bruijn
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW. This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either -- with one exception. Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the HW source. The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed. This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

2014-07-07ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmitTom Herbert
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression. Automatic flow labels disabled: TCP_RR: 86.53% CPU utilization 127/195/322 90/95/99% latencies 1.40498e+06 tps UDP_RR: 90.70% CPU utilization 118/168/243 90/95/99% latencies 1.50309e+06 tps Automatic flow labels enabled: TCP_RR: 85.90% CPU utilization 128/199/337 90/95/99% latencies 1.40051e+06 UDP_RR 92.61% CPU utilization 115/164/236 90/95/99% latencies 1.4687e+06 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-01pktgen: document tuning for max NIC performanceJesper Dangaard Brouer
Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring running full. Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen. (Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy" counters.) Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs". Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup interval. Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC tuning for maximum packet per sec performance. Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000. TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs": (Single CPU performance, E5-2630, ixgbe) - 3935002 pps - rx-usecs: 1 (irqs: 9346) - 5132350 pps - rx-usecs: 10 (irqs: 99157) - 5375111 pps - rx-usecs: 20 (irqs: 50154) - 5454050 pps - rx-usecs: 30 (irqs: 33872) - 5496320 pps - rx-usecs: 40 (irqs: 26197) - 5502510 pps - rx-usecs: 50 (irqs: 21527) TX ring size adjusting (ethtool -G), "rx-usecs==1" (default): - 3935002 pps - tx-size: 512 - 5354401 pps - tx-size: 768 - 5356847 pps - tx-size: 1024 - 5327595 pps - tx-size: 1536 - 5356779 pps - tx-size: 2048 - 5353438 pps - tx-size: 4096 Notice after commit 6f25cd47d (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag. This allow us to put more pressure on the TX ring buffers. It is the ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx() call that stops the transmits, and pktgen respecting this in the call to netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq).

2014-07-01ipv6: Allow accepting RA from local IP addresses.Ben Greear
This can be used in virtual networking applications, and may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by default. A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems, with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-04-24bonding: Add tlb_dynamic_lb parameter for tlb modeMahesh Bandewar
The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup. The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier behavior. Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with 4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these changes. Following was the command used for those 200 instances - netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -s 5 -H <host> -- -r81920,81920 Transactions per second: Before change: 1,367.11 After change: 1,470.65 Change-Id: Ie3f75c77282cf602e83a6e833c6eb164e72a0990 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Also extended use of xmit-hash-policy to tlb mode. Now the tlb-mode defaults to BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER2 if the xmit policy module parameter is not set (just like 802.3ad, or Xor mode).

Added a new ancillary load (bpf call in eBPF parlance) that produces a 32-bit random number. We are implementing it as an ancillary load (instead of an ISA opcode) because (a) it is simpler, (b) allows easy JITing, and (c) seems more in line with generic ISAs that do not have "get a random number" as a instruction, but as an OS call. The main use for this ancillary load is to perform random packet sampling.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== net-next: AF_RXRPC fixes and development Here are some AF_RXRPC fixes: (1) Fix to remove incorrect checksum calculation made during recvmsg(). It's unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before reading the RxRPC header from the packet. (2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another ABORT packet and inducing a storm. (3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size. And development patches: (4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call information is cached. (5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production (barring the call termination) to half a second. (6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet. (7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't wait till we fill up the Tx window. (8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-06net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bugAndrew Lutomirski
The original documentation was very unclear. The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on __sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set is pointless. This should have no user-observable effect. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-03can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 socketsOliver Hartkopp
In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets) CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application. After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g. make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?). This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

2014-02-18bonding: permit using arp_validate with non-ab modesVeaceslav Falico
Currently it's disabled because it's sometimes hard, in typical configs, to make it work - because of the nature how the loadbalance modes work - as it's hard to deliver valid arp replies to correct slaves by the switch. However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a bit more) sure that the slave is up. So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.

2014-02-18gianfar: Remove sysfs stubs for FIFOCFG and stashingClaudiu Manoil
Removing the sysfs stubs for the Tx FIFOCFG and ATTRELI (stashing) config registers, as these registers may only be configured after a MAC reset, with the controller stopped (i.e. during hw init, at probe() time). The current sysfs stubs allow on-the-fly updates of these registers (the locking measures are useless and only add unecessary code). Changing these registers is discouraged. Only the default values will be used instead. Moreover, the stashing (ATTRELI) configuration options were effectively disabled (didn't get to the hw anyway if changed) because the stashing device_flags (HAS_BD_STASHING|HAS_BUF_STASHING) were "accidentally" cleared during probe().
