net: mvneta: Switch to per-CPU irq and make rxq_def useful

As stated in the first version: "this patchset reworks the Marvell
neta driver in order to really support its per-CPU interrupts, instead
of faking them as SPI, and allow the use of any RX queue instead of
the hardcoded RX queue 0 that we have currently."

Following the review which has been done, Maxime started adding the
CPU hotplug support. I continued his work a few weeks ago and here is
the result.

Since the 1st version the main change is this CPU hotplug support, in
order to validate it I powered up and down the CPUs while performing
iperf. I ran the tests during hours: the kernel didn't crash and the
network interfaces were still usable. Of course it impacted the
performance, but continuously power down and up the CPUs is not
something we usually do.

I also reorganized the series, the 3 first patches should go through
the irq subsystem, whereas the 4 others should go to the network
subsystem.

However, there is a runtime dependency between the two parts. Patch 5
depend on the patch 3 to be able to use the percpu irq.

Thanks,

Gregory

PS: Thanks to Willy who gave me some pointers on how to deal with the
NAPI.

Since the switch to per-CPU interrupts, we lost the ability to set which
CPU was going to receive our RX interrupt, which was now only the CPU on
which the mvneta_open function was run.

We can now assign our queues to their respective CPUs, and make sure only
this CPU is going to handle our traffic.

This also paves the road to be able to change that at runtime, and later on
to support RSS.

The mvneta driver allows to change the default RX queue trough the rxq_def
kernel parameter.

However, the current code doesn't allow to have any value but 0. It is
actively checked for in the driver's probe because the drivers makes a
number of assumption and takes a number of shortcuts in order to just use
that RX queue.

Remove these limitations in order to be able to specify any available
queue.

The CPU_MAP register is duplicated for each CPUs at different addresses,
each instance being at a different address.

However, the code so far was using CONFIG_NR_CPUS to initialise the CPU_MAP
registers for each registers, while the SoCs embed at most 4 CPUs.

This is especially an issue with multi_v7_defconfig, where CONFIG_NR_CPUS
is currently set to 16, resulting in writes to registers that are not
CPU_MAP.

Since the timer, fabric and neta interrupts were the only per-cpu

Noticed that the compiler (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC))
generated suboptimal assembler code in eth_get_headlen().

This early return coding style is usually not an issue, on super scalar CPUs,
but the compiler choose to put the return statement after this very unlikely
branch, thus creating larger jump down to the likely code path.

Application limited streams such as thin streams, that transmit small
amounts of payload in relatively few packets per RTT, can be prevented
from growing the CWND when in congestion avoidance. This leads to
increased sojourn times for data segments in streams that often transmit
time-dependent data.

Currently, a connection is considered CWND limited only after having
successfully transmitted at least one packet with new data, while at the
same time failing to transmit some unsent data from the output queue
because the CWND is full. Applications that produce small amounts of
data may be left in a state where it is never considered to be CWND
limited, because all unsent data is successfully transmitted each time
an incoming ACK opens up for more data to be transmitted in the send
window.

Fix by always testing whether the CWND is fully used after successful
packet transmissions, such that a connection is considered CWND limited
whenever the CWND has been filled. This is the correct behavior as
specified in RFC2861 (section 3.1).

In the new flow, we separate the pci initialization and teardown from the

init_one calls mlx5_pci_init that handles the pci resources initialization.
It then calls mlx5_load_one to initialize the remainder of the resources.

When removing a device, remove_one is invoked. However, now remove_one
calls mlx5_unload_one to free all the resources except the pci resources.
When mlx5_unload_one returns, mlx5_pci_close is called to free the pci
resources.

We found that a TCP Fast Open passive connection was vulnerable
to reorders, as the exchange might look like

[1] C -> S S <FO ...> <request>
[2] S -> C S. ack request <options>
[3] S -> C . <answer>

packets [2] and [3] can be generated at almost the same time.

If C receives the 3rd packet before the 2nd, it will drop it as
the socket is in SYN_SENT state and expects a SYNACK.

S will have to retransmit the answer.

Current OOO avoidance in linux is defeated because SYNACK
packets are attached to the LISTEN socket, while DATA packets
are attached to the children. They might be sent by different cpus,
and different TX queues might be selected.

It turns out that for TFO, we created a child, which is a
full blown socket in TCP_SYN_RECV state, and we simply can attach
the SYNACK packet to this socket.

This means that at the time tcp_sendmsg() pushes DATA packet,
skb->ooo_okay will be set iff the SYNACK packet had been sent
and TX completed.

This removes the reorder source at the host level.

We also removed the export of tcp_try_fastopen(), as it is no
longer called from IPv6.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-28

This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf and igb to resolve issues
seen and reported by Red Hat.

Kiran moves i40e_get_head() in preparation for the refactor of the Tx
timeout logic, so that it can be used in other areas of the driver.
Refactored the driver timeout logic by issuing a writeback request via
a software interrupt to the hardware the first time the driver detects
a hang.  This was due to the driver being too aggressive in resetting a
hung queue.

Shannon adds the GRE protocol to the transmit checksum encoding.

Anjali fixes an issue of forcing writeback too often, which caused us to
not benefit from NAPI.  We now disable force writeback in the clean
routine for X710 and XL710 adapters.  The X722 adapters do not enable
interrupt to force a writeback and benefit from WB_ON_ITR and so force
WB is left enabled for those adapters.  Fixed a possible deadlock issue
where sync_vsi_filters() can be called directly under RTNL or through
the timer subtask without RTNL.  So update the flow to see if we are
already under RTNL before trying to grab it.

Stefan Assmann provides a fix for igb where SR-IOV was not getting
enabled properly and we ran into a NULL pointer if the max_vfs module
parameter is specified.  This is prevented by setting the
IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX bit before calling igb_probe_vfs().

v2: added "i40e: Fix for recursive RTNL lock during PROMISC change" patch
    to the series, as it resolves another issues seen and reported by
    Red Hat.

In igb_sw_init() the sequence of calls was changed from
igb_init_queue_configuration()
igb_init_interrupt_scheme()
igb_probe_vfs()
to
igb_probe_vfs()
igb_init_queue_configuration()
igb_init_interrupt_scheme()

This results in adapter->flags not having the IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX bit set
during igb_probe_vfs()->igb_enable_sriov(). Therefore SR-IOV does not
get enabled properly and we run into a NULL pointer if the max_vfs
module parameter is specified (adapter->vf_data does not get allocated,
crash on accessing the structure).

The sync_vsi_filters function can be called directly under RTNL
or through the timer subtask without one. This was causing a deadlock.

If sync_vsi_filters is called from a thread which held the lock,
and in another thread the PROMISC setting got changed we would
be executing the PROMISC change in the thread which already held
the lock alongside the other filter update. The PROMISC change
requires a reset if we are on a VEB, which requires it to be called
under RTNL.

Earlier the driver would call reset for PROMISC change without
checking if we were already under RTNL and would try to grab it
causing a deadlock. This patch changes the flow to see if we are
already under RTNL before trying to grab it.

vxlan: support both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets

Note: this needs net merged into net-next in order to apply.

It's currently not easy enough to work with metadata based vxlan tunnels. In
particular, it's necessary to create separate network interfaces for IPv4
and IPv6 tunneling. Assigning an IPv6 address to an IPv4 interface is
allowed yet won't do what's expected. With route based tunneling, one has to
pay attention to use the vxlan interface opened with the correct family.
Other users of this (openvswitch) would need to always create two vxlan
interfaces.

Furthermore, there's no sane API for creating an IPv6 vxlan metadata based
interface.

This patchset simplifies this by opening both IPv4 and IPv6 socket if the
vxlan interface has the metadata flag (IFLA_VXLAN_COLLECT_METADATA) set.
Assignment of addresses etc. works as expected after this.
