net: bcmgenet: Interrupt coalescing

This patch series adds support for interrupt coalescing for GENET
adapters.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Add support for the ethtool rx-frames coalescing parameter which allows
defining the number of RX interrupts per frames received. The RDMA
engine supports a configurable timeout with a resolution of
approximately 8.192 us.

We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would
fire for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE
interrupt purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1.

Configuring the ethtool tx-frames property, which translates into N
packets before a TX interrupt is the simplest configuration scheme
because it requires no locking neither at the softare nor hardware
level, and is completely indepedent from the link speed. Since ethtool
does not allow per-tx queue coalescing parameters, we apply the same
setting to any transmit queue.

We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would fire
for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE interrupt
purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1, but offers
interrupt coalescing when the value is > 1.

Since the HW is configured to generate an interrupt when the ring
becomes emtpy, we have to deny any timeout/timer settings coming from
user-space to indicate we can only generate an interrupt very <N>
packets.

While we are at it, fix the DMA_INTR_THRESHOLD_MASK value which was off
by one bit (0xff vs. 0x1ff).

bpf: performance improvements

v1->v2: dropped redundant iff_up check in patch 2

At plumbers we discussed different options on how to get rid of skb_clone
from bpf_clone_redirect(), the patch 2 implements the best option.
Patch 1 adds 'integrated exts' to cls_bpf to improve performance by
combining simple actions into bpf classifier.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting
it to RX or TX of destination netdev.
Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning.

Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs.
One host is doing line rate pktgen.
Another host is configured as:
$ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
   action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop
so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1
The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program
that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps

$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
   action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop
which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps

and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as:
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \
  bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1
performance is 2.5 Mpps

To summarize:
u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps
u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps
cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps

For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps
and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps

Often cls_bpf classifier is used with single action drop attached.
Optimize this use case and let cls_bpf return both classid and action.
For backwards compatibility reasons enable this feature under
TCA_BPF_FLAG_ACT_DIRECT flag.

Then more interesting programs like the following are easier to write:
int cls_bpf_prog(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
  /* classify arp, ip, ipv6 into different traffic classes
   * and drop all other packets
   */
  switch (skb->protocol) {
  case htons(ETH_P_ARP):
    skb->tc_classid = 1;
    break;
  case htons(ETH_P_IP):
    skb->tc_classid = 2;
    break;
  case htons(ETH_P_IPV6):
    skb->tc_classid = 3;
    break;
  default:
    return TC_ACT_SHOT;
  }

  return TC_ACT_OK;
}

In commit b73c3d0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf
on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets.

We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets
of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to
also use skb->hash to perform slave selection.

Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did
in commit 265f94ff ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing
advice") for established sockets.

This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black
holes, even at connection establish phase.

====================
Passing net through the netfilter hooks

My primary goal with this patchset and it's follow ups is to cleanup the
network routing paths so that we do not look at the output device to
derive the network namespace.  My plan is to pass the network namespace
of the transmitting socket through the output path, to replace code that
looks at the output network device today.  Once that is done we can have
routes with output devices outside of the current network namespace.
Which should allow reception and transmission of packets in network
namespaces to be as fast as normal packet reception and transmission
with early demux disabled, because it will same code path.

Once skb_dst(skb)->dev is a little better under control I think it will
also be possible to use rcu to cleanup the ancient hack that sets
dst->dev to loopback_dev when a network device is removed.

The work to get there is a series of code cleanups.  I am starting with
passing net into the netfilter hooks and into the functions that are
called after the netfilter hooks.  This removes from netfilter the
need to guess which network namespace it is working on.

To get there I perform a series of minor prep patches so the big changes
at the end are possible to audit without getting lost in the noise.  In
particular I have a lot of patches computing net into a local variable
and then using it through out the function.

So this patchset encompases removing dead code, sorting out the _sk
functions that were added last time someone pushed a prototype change
through the post netfilter functions.  Cleaning up individual functions
use of the network namespace.  Passing net into the netfilter hooks.
Passing net into the post netfilter functions.  Using state->net in
the netfilter code where it is available and trivially usable.

Pablo, Dave I don't know whose tree this makes more sense to go
through.  I am assuming at least initially Pablos as netfilter is
involved.  From what I have seen there will be a lot of back and forth
between the netfilter code paths and the routing code paths.

The patches are also available (against 4.3-rc1) at:

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)

br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.
