According to USB Specification 2.0 table 9-4, wMaxPacketSize is a bitfield. Endpoint's maxpacket is laid out in bits 10:0. For high-speed, high-bandwidth isochronous endpoints, bits 12:11 contain a multiplier to tell us how many transactions we want to try per uframe. This means that if we want an isochronous endpoint to issue 3 transfers of 1024 bytes per uframe, wMaxPacketSize should contain the value: 1024 | (2 << 11) or 5120 (0x1400). In order to make Host and Peripheral controller drivers' life easier, we're adding a helper which returns bits 12:11. Note that no care is made WRT to checking endpoint type and gadget's speed. That's left for drivers to handle. Signed-off-by: NFelipe Balbi <felipe.balbi@linux.intel.com>

There are two separate issues that can lead to corrupted free space trees. 1. The free space tree bitmaps had an endianness issue on big-endian systems which is fixed by an earlier patch in this series. 2. btrfs-progs before v4.7.3 modified filesystems without updating the free space tree. To catch both of these issues at once, we need to force the free space tree to be rebuilt. To do so, add a FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID compat_ro bit. If the bit isn't set, we know that it was either produced by a broken big-endian kernel or may have been corrupted by btrfs-progs. This also provides us with a way to add rudimentary read-write support for the free space tree to btrfs-progs: it can just clear this bit and have the kernel rebuild the free space tree.

This patch adds a simple device driver to expose the iBT interface on Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used as BMCs (BaseBoard Management Controllers) and this driver implements the BMC side of the BT interface. The BT (Block Transfer) interface is used to perform in-band IPMI communication between a host and its BMC. Entire messages are buffered before sending a notification to the other end, host or BMC, that there is data to be read. Usually, the host emits requests and the BMC responses but the specification provides a mean for the BMC to send SMS Attention (BMC-to-Host attention or System Management Software attention) messages. For this purpose, the driver introduces a specific ioctl on the device: 'BT_BMC_IOCTL_SMS_ATN' that can be used by the system running on the BMC to signal the host of such an event.

So move NF_LOG_XXX macro definitions to the uapi/../nf_log.h. In order to keep consistent with other modules, change NF_LOG_MASK to refer to all supported log flags. On the other hand, add a new NF_LOG_DEFAULT_MASK to refer to the original default log flags. Finally, if user specify the unsupported log flags or NFTA_LOG_GROUP and NFTA_LOG_FLAGS are set at the same time, report EINVAL to the userspace.

It looks like the following patch can make FQ very precise, even in VM or stressed hosts. It matters at high pacing rates. We take into account the difference between the time that was programmed when last packet was sent, and current time (a drift of tens of usecs is often observed) Add an EWMA of the unthrottle latency to help diagnostics. This latency is the difference between current time and oldest packet in delayed RB-tree. This accounts for the high resolution timer latency, but can be different under stress, as fq_check_throttled() can be opportunistically be called from a dequeue() called after an enqueue() for a different flow.

Currently, the user can specify the queue numbers by _QUEUE_NUM and _QUEUE_TOTAL attributes, this is enough in most situations. But acctually, it is not very flexible, for example: tcp dport 80 mapped to queue0 tcp dport 81 mapped to queue1 tcp dport 82 mapped to queue2 In order to do this thing, we must add 3 nft rules, and more mapping meant more rules ... So take one register to select the queue number, then we can add one simple rule to mapping queues, maybe like this: queue num tcp dport map { 80:0, 81:1, 82:2 ... } Florian Westphal also proposed wider usage scenarios: queue num jhash ip saddr . ip daddr mod ... queue num meta cpu ... queue num meta mark ... The last point is how to load a queue number from sreg, although we can use *(u16*)®s->data[reg] to load the queue number, just like nat expr to load its l4port do. But we will cooperate with hash expr, meta cpu, meta mark expr and so on. They all store the result to u32 type, so cast it to u16 pointer and dereference it will generate wrong result in the big endian system. So just keep it simple, we treat queue number as u32 type, although u16 type is already enough.

This commit implements a new TCP congestion control algorithm: BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT). A detailed description of BBR will be published in ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016, as "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control". BBR has significantly increased throughput and reduced latency for connections on Google's internal backbone networks and google.com and YouTube Web servers. BBR requires only changes on the sender side, not in the network or the receiver side. Thus it can be incrementally deployed on today's Internet, or in datacenters. The Internet has predominantly used loss-based congestion control (largely Reno or CUBIC) since the 1980s, relying on packet loss as the signal to slow down. While this worked well for many years, loss-based congestion control is unfortunately out-dated in today's networks. On today's Internet, loss-based congestion control causes the infamous bufferbloat problem, often causing seconds of needless queuing delay, since it fills the bloated buffers in many last-mile links. On today's high-speed long-haul links using commodity switches with shallow buffers, loss-based congestion control has abysmal throughput because it over-reacts to losses caused by transient traffic bursts. In 1981 Kleinrock and Gale showed that the optimal operating point for a network maximizes delivered bandwidth while minimizing delay and loss, not only for single connections but for the network as a whole. Finding that optimal operating point has been elusive, since any single network measurement is ambiguous: network measurements are the result of both bandwidth and propagation delay, and those two cannot be measured simultaneously. While it is impossible to disambiguate any single bandwidth or RTT measurement, a connection's behavior over time tells a clearer story. BBR uses a measurement strategy designed to resolve this ambiguity. It combines these measurements with a robust servo loop using recent control systems advances to implement a distributed congestion control algorithm that reacts to actual congestion, not packet loss or transient queue delay, and is designed to converge with high probability to a point near the optimal operating point. In a nutshell, BBR creates an explicit model of the network pipe by sequentially probing the bottleneck bandwidth and RTT. On the arrival of each ACK, BBR derives the current delivery rate of the last round trip, and feeds it through a windowed max-filter to estimate the bottleneck bandwidth. Conversely it uses a windowed min-filter to estimate the round trip propagation delay. The max-filtered bandwidth and min-filtered RTT estimates form BBR's model of the network pipe. Using its model, BBR sets control parameters to govern sending behavior. The primary control is the pacing rate: BBR applies a gain multiplier to transmit faster or slower than the observed bottleneck bandwidth. The conventional congestion window (cwnd) is now the secondary control; the cwnd is set to a small multiple of the estimated BDP (bandwidth-delay product) in order to allow full utilization and bandwidth probing while bounding the potential amount of queue at the bottleneck. When a BBR connection starts, it enters STARTUP mode and applies a high gain to perform an exponential search to quickly probe the bottleneck bandwidth (doubling its sending rate each round trip, like slow start). However, instead of continuing until it fills up the buffer (i.e. a loss), or until delay or ACK spacing reaches some threshold (like Hystart), it uses its model of the pipe to estimate when that pipe is full: it estimates the pipe is full when it notices the estimated bandwidth has stopped growing. At that point it exits STARTUP and enters DRAIN mode, where it reduces its pacing rate to drain the queue it estimates it has created. Then BBR enters steady state. In steady state, PROBE_BW mode cycles between first pacing faster to probe for more bandwidth, then pacing slower to drain any queue that created if no more bandwidth was available, and then cruising at the estimated bandwidth to utilize the pipe without creating excess queue. Occasionally, on an as-needed basis, it sends significantly slower to probe for RTT (PROBE_RTT mode). BBR has been fully deployed on Google's wide-area backbone networks and we're experimenting with BBR on Google.com and YouTube on a global scale. Replacing CUBIC with BBR has resulted in significant improvements in network latency and application (RPC, browser, and video) metrics. For more details please refer to our upcoming ACM Queue publication. Example performance results, to illustrate the difference between BBR and CUBIC: Resilience to random loss (e.g. from shallow buffers): Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 30 secs on an emulated path with a 10Gbps bottleneck, 100ms RTT, and 1% packet loss rate. CUBIC gets 3.27 Mbps, and BBR gets 9150 Mbps (2798x higher). Low latency with the bloated buffers common in today's last-mile links: Consider a netperf TCP_STREAM test lasting 120 secs on an emulated path with a 10Mbps bottleneck, 40ms RTT, and 1000-packet bottleneck buffer. Both fully utilize the bottleneck bandwidth, but BBR achieves this with a median RTT 25x lower (43 ms instead of 1.09 secs). Our long-term goal is to improve the congestion control algorithms used on the Internet. We are hopeful that BBR can help advance the efforts toward this goal, and motivate the community to do further research. Test results, performance evaluations, feedback, and BBR-related discussions are very welcome in the public e-mail list for BBR: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bbr-dev NOTE: BBR *must* be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing enabled, since pacing is integral to the BBR design and implementation. BBR without pacing would not function properly, and may incur unnecessary high packet loss rates.

This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info: tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per second (like other rate fields in tcp_info). tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the sending application. This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing, e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for debugging or troubleshooting.

This commit adds to the fq module a low_rate_threshold parameter to insert a delay after all packets if the socket requests a pacing rate below the threshold. This helps achieve more precise control of the sending rate with low-rate paths, especially policers. The basic issue is that if a congestion control module detects a policer at a certain rate, it may want fq to be able to shape to that policed rate. That way the sender can avoid policer drops by having the packets arrive at the policer at or just under the policed rate. The default threshold of 550Kbps was chosen analytically so that for policers or links at 500Kbps or 512Kbps fq would very likely invoke this mechanism, even if the pacing rate was briefly slightly above the available bandwidth. This value was then empirically validated with two years of production testing on YouTube video servers.

This work implements direct packet access for helpers and direct packet write in a similar fashion as already available for XDP types via commits 4acf6c0b ("bpf: enable direct packet data write for xdp progs") and 6841de8b ("bpf: allow helpers access the packet directly"), and as a complementary feature to the already available direct packet read for tc (cls/act) programs. For enabling this, we need to introduce two helpers, bpf_skb_pull_data() and bpf_csum_update(). The first is generally needed for both, read and write, because they would otherwise only be limited to the current linear skb head. Usually, when the data_end test fails, programs just bail out, or, in the direct read case, use bpf_skb_load_bytes() as an alternative to overcome this limitation. If such data sits in non-linear parts, we can just pull them in once with the new helper, retest and eventually access them. At the same time, this also makes sure the skb is uncloned, which is, of course, a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs to be an invariant for the write part only, the verifier detects writes and adds a prologue that is calling bpf_skb_pull_data() to effectively unclone the skb from the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned. The heuristic makes use of a similar trick that was done in 233577a2 ("net: filter: constify detection of pkt_type_offset"). This comes at zero cost for other programs that do not use the direct write feature. Should a program use this feature only sparsely and has read access for the most parts with, for example, drop return codes, then such write action can be delegated to a tail called program for mitigating this cost of potential uncloning to a late point in time where it would have been paid similarly with the bpf_skb_store_bytes() as well. Advantage of direct write is that the writes are inlined whereas the helper cannot make any length assumptions and thus needs to generate a call to memcpy() also for small sizes, as well as cost of helper call itself with sanity checks are avoided. Plus, when direct read is already used, we don't need to cache or perform rechecks on the data boundaries (due to verifier invalidating previous checks for helpers that change skb->data), so more complex programs using rewrites can benefit from switching to direct read plus write. For direct packet access to helpers, we save the otherwise needed copy into a temp struct sitting on stack memory when use-case allows. Both facilities are enabled via may_access_direct_pkt_data() in verifier. For now, we limit this to map helpers and csum_diff, and can successively enable other helpers where we find it makes sense. Helpers that definitely cannot be allowed for this are those part of bpf_helper_changes_skb_data() since they can change underlying data, and those that write into memory as this could happen for packet typed args when still cloned. bpf_csum_update() helper accommodates for the fact that we need to fixup checksum_complete when using direct write instead of bpf_skb_store_bytes(), meaning the programs can use available helpers like bpf_csum_diff(), and implement csum_add(), csum_sub(), csum_block_add(), csum_block_sub() equivalents in eBPF together with the new helper. A usage example will be provided for iproute2's examples/bpf/ directory. Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The ioctl name and description on the documentation block don't match the ioctl being defined. This was probably overlooked while renaming the ioctls during the sync file destaging. This patch provides a more accurate description of what the ioctl actually does.
