just wrong - it's used as a kind of mutex/spinlock instead of RCU.

v3->v4: remove useless goto and wrap __get_first_agg() in proper RCU.

This way we can use _rcu variants everywhere.

lock without RCU one, which is still safe.

net: gro: change GRO overflow strategy

GRO layer has a limit of 8 flows being held in GRO list,
for performance reason.

When a packet comes for a flow not yet in the list,
and list is full, we immediately give it to upper
stacks, lowering aggregation performance.

With TSO auto sizing and FQ packet scheduler, this situation
happens more often.

This patch changes strategy to simply evict the oldest flow of
the list. This works better because of the nature of packet
trains for which GRO is efficient. This also has the effect
of lowering the GRO latency if many flows are competing.

Tested :

Used a 40Gbps NIC, with 4 RX queues, and 200 concurrent TCP_STREAM
netperf.

Before patch, aggregate rate is 11Gbps (while a single flow can reach
30Gbps)

====================
path mtu hardening patches

After a lot of back and forth I want to propose these changes regarding
path mtu hardening and give an outline why I think this is the best way
how to proceed:

This set contains the following patches:
* ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against pmtu spoofing
* ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_forward and protect forwarding path with it
* ipv4: introduce hardened ip_no_pmtu_disc mode

The first one switches the forwarding path of IPv4 to use the interface
mtu by default and ignore a possible discovered path mtu. It provides
a sysctl to switch back to the original behavior (see discussion below).

The second patch does the same thing unconditionally for IPv6. I don't
provide a knob for IPv6 to switch to original behavior (please see
below).

The third patch introduces a hardened pmtu mode, where only pmtu
information are accepted where the protocol is able to do more stringent
checks on the icmp piggyback payload (please see the patch commit msg
for further details).

Why is this change necessary?

First of all, RFC 1191 4. Router specification says:
"When a router is unable to forward a datagram because it exceeds the
 MTU of the next-hop network and its Don't Fragment bit is set, the
 router is required to return an ICMP Destination Unreachable message
 to the source of the datagram, with the Code indicating
 "fragmentation needed and DF set". ..."

For some time now fragmentation has been considered problematic, e.g.:
* http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-87-3.pdf
* http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4963

Most of them seem to agree that fragmentation should be avoided because
of efficiency, data corruption or security concerns.

Recently it was shown possible that correctly guessing IP ids could lead
to data injection on DNS packets:
<https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf>

While we can try to completly stop fragmentation on the end host
(this is e.g. implemented via IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE), we cannot stop
fragmentation completly on the forwarding path. On the end host the
application has to deal with MTUs and has to choose fallback methods
if fragmentation could be an attack vector. This is already the case for
most DNS software, where a maximum UDP packet size can be configured. But
until recently they had no control over local fragmentation and could
thus emit fragmented packets.

On the forwarding path we can just try to delay the fragmentation to
the last hop where this is really necessary. Current kernel already does
that but only because routers don't receive feedback of path mtus, these are
only send back to the end host system. But it is possible to maliciously
insert path mtu inforamtion via ICMP packets which have an icmp echo_reply
payload, because we cannot validate those notifications against local
sockets. DHCP clients which establish an any-bound RAW-socket could also
start processing unwanted fragmentation-needed packets.

Why does IPv4 has a knob to revert to old behavior while IPv6 doesn't?

IPv4 does fragmentation on the path while IPv6 does always respond with
packet-too-big errors. The interface MTU will always be greater than
the path MTU information. So we would discard packets we could actually
forward because of malicious information. After this change we would
let the hop, which really could not forward the packet, notify the host
of this problem.

IPv4 allowes fragmentation mid-path. In case someone does use a software
which tries to discover such paths and assumes that the kernel is handling
the discovered pmtu information automatically. This should be an extremly
rare case, but because I could not exclude the possibility this knob is
provided. Also this software could insert non-locked mtu information
into the kernel. We cannot distinguish that from path mtu information
currently. Premature fragmentation could solve some problems in wrongly
configured networks, thus this switch is provided.

One frag-needed packet could reduce the path mtu down to 522 bytes
(route/min_pmtu).

Misc:

IPv6 neighbor discovery could advertise mtu information for an
interface. These information update the ipv6-specific interface mtu and
thus get used by the forwarding path.

Tunnel and xfrm output path will still honour path mtu and also respond
with Packet-too-Big or fragmentation-needed errors if needed.

ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_forward and protect forwarding path with it

In the IPv6 forwarding path we are only concerend about the outgoing

into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification
of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv6 forwarding path to

ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against pmtu spoofing

While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate
the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu.

We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was
introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with
our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse.

I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu
along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular
dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED.

Because someone might have written a software which does probe
destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus
I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone
can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a
route for forwarding.

The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected
into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification
of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to
wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment
packets along a path.

Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED
won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to
determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with
help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.

Most notable is Jacob's patch to add PTP support to i40e.

Mitch cleans up additional memcpy's and use struct assignment instead.

closing the VF interface or unloading the VF driver will cause the VF
driver to remove the MAC filter for its original (now invalid) MAC
address.

Jesse cleans up macros which are no longer needed or used.

I (Jeff) cleanup function header comments to ensure Doxygen/kdoc works
correctly to generate documentation without warnings.

Anjali fixes a bug where ethtool set-channels would return failure when
configuring only one Rx queue.  Then fixes a bug where the driver was
erroneously exiting the driver unload path if one part of the unload
failed.

Shannon fixes if the IPV6EXADD but is set in the Rx descriptor status,
there was an optional extension header with an alternate IP address
detected and the hardware checksum was not handling the alternate IP
address correctly.  Then adjusts the ITR max and min values to match
the hardware max value and recommended min value.  Shannon makes sure
to clear the PXE mode after the adminq is initialized.

v2:
 - fix patch 14 "i40e: enable PTP" to address Richard Cochran's spelling
   catch and Ben Hutchings Kconfig, SIOCGHWTSTAMP and sizeof() suggestions

Merge branch 'tcp_metrics_saddr'

Christoph Paasch says:

====================
Make tcp-metrics source-address aware

Currently tcp-metrics only stores per-destination addresses. This brings
problems, when a host has multiple interfaces (e.g., a smartphone having
WiFi/3G):

For example, a host contacting a server over WiFi will store the tcp-metrics
per destination IP. If then the host contacts the same server over 3G, the
same tcp-metrics will be used, although the path-characteristics are completly
different (e.g., the ssthresh is probably not the same).

In case of TFO this is not a problem, as the server will provide us a new cookie
once he saw our SYN+DATA with an incorrect cookie.
It may be (in case of carrier-grade NAT), that we keep the same public IP but
have a different private IP. Thus, we better reuse the old cookie even if our
source-IP has changed. However, this scenario is probably very uncommon, as
carriers try to provide the same src-IP to the clients behind their CGN.

Patches 1 + 2 add the source-IP to the tcp metrics.

Patches 3 to 5 modify the netlink-api to support the source-IP. From now on,
when using the command "ip tcp_metrics delete address ADDRESS" all entries
which match this destination IP will be deleted.

Today's iproute2 will complain when doing "ip tcp_metrics flush PREFIX" if
several entries are present for the same destination-IP but with different
source-IPs:

root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics
10.2.1.2 age 3.640sec rtt 16250us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10
10.2.1.2 age 4.030sec rtt 18750us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10
root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics flush 10.2.1.2/16
Failed to send flush request
: No such process

Follow-up patches will modify iproute2 to handle this correctly and allow
specifying the source-IP in the get/del commands.

v2: Added the patch that allows to selectively get/del of tcp-metrics based
    on src-IP and moved the patch that adds the new netlink attribute before
    the other patches.

10 years agoxen-netback: stop vif thread spinning if frontend is unresponsive

xen-netback: stop vif thread spinning if frontend is unresponsive

The recent patch to improve guest receive side flow control (ca2f09f2) had a
slight flaw in the wait condition for the vif thread in that any remaining
skbs in the guest receive side netback internal queue would prevent the
thread from sleeping. An unresponsive frontend can lead to a permanently
non-empty internal queue and thus the thread will spin. In this case the
thread should really sleep until the frontend becomes responsive again.

This patch adds an extra flag to the vif which is set if the shared ring
is full and cleared when skbs are drained into the shared ring. Thus,
if the thread runs, finds the shared ring full and can make no progress the
flag remains set. If the flag remains set then the thread will sleep,
regardless of a non-empty queue, until the next event from the frontend.
