Commit a158bdd3 ("rxrpc: Fix call timeouts") reworked the time calculation
for the next resend event.  For this calculation, "oldest" will be before
"now", so ktime_sub(oldest, now) will yield a negative value.  When passed
to nsecs_to_jiffies which expects an unsigned value, the end result will be
a very large value, and a resend event scheduled far into the future.  This
could cause calls to stall if some packets were lost.

Fix by ordering the arguments to ktime_sub correctly.

If a call-level abort is received for the previous call to complete on a
connection channel, then that abort is queued for the connection processor
to handle.  Unfortunately, the connection processor then assumes without
checking that the abort is connection-level (ie. callNumber is 0) and
distributes it over all active calls on that connection, thereby
incorrectly aborting them.

Fix this by discarding aborts aimed at a completed call.

Further, discard all packets aimed at a call that's complete if there's
currently an active call on a channel, since the DATA packets associated
with the new call automatically terminate the old call.

rxrpc calls have a ring of packets that are awaiting ACK or retransmission
and a parallel ring of annotations that tracks the state of those packets.
If the initial transmission of a packet on the underlying UDP socket fails
then the packet annotation is marked for resend - but the setting of this
mark accidentally erases the last-packet mark also stored in the same
annotation slot.  If this happens, a call won't switch out of the Tx phase
when all the packets have been transmitted.

Fix this by retaining the last-packet mark and only altering the packet
state.

This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver
with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions.

Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is
disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via
send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual
interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to
host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in
scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled.

After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it
until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as
it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down
operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and
clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet
overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure.

Fix:
This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing
firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0).
send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the
code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed
by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur.

Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations

the problem is {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() do not take
pernet_ops_rwsem, and they don't see network namespaces, being
initialized in setup_net() and cleanup_net(), since at this
time net is not hashed to net_namespace_list.

This may lead to imbalance, when a notifier is called at time of
setup_net()/net is alive, but it's not called at time of cleanup_net(),
for the devices, hashed to the net, and vise versa. See (3/3) for
the scheme of imbalance.

This patchset fixes the problem by acquiring pernet_ops_rwsem
at the time of {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() (3/3).
(1-2/3) are preparations in xfrm and netfilter subsystems.

The problem was introduced a long ago, but backporting won't be easy,
since every previous kernel version may have changes in netdevice
notifiers, and they all need review and testing. Otherwise, there
may be more pernet_operations, which register or unregister
netdevice notifiers, and that leads to deadlock (which is was fixed
in 1-2/3). This patchset is for net-next.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

{un,}register_netdevice_notifier() iterate over all net namespaces
hashed to net_namespace_list. But pernet_operations register and
unregister netdevices in unhashed net namespace, and they are not
seen for netdevice notifiers. This results in asymmetry:

1)Race with register_netdevice_notifier()
  pernet_operations::init(net)	...
   register_netdevice()		...
    call_netdevice_notifiers()  ...
      ... nb is not called ...
  ...				register_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
  ...				...
  list_add_tail(&net->list, ..) ...

  Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:

  pernet_operations::exit(net)
   unregister_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is called ...

This always happens with net::loopback_dev, but it may be not the only device.

2)Race with unregister_netdevice_notifier()
  pernet_operations::init(net)
   register_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is called ...

  Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:

  list_del_rcu(&net->list)	...
  pernet_operations::exit(net)  unregister_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
   dev_change_net_namespace()	...
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is not called ...
   unregister_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is not called ...

This race is more danger, since dev_change_net_namespace() moves real
network devices, which use not trivial netdevice notifiers, and if this
will happen, the system will be left in unpredictable state.

The patch closes the race. During the testing I found two places,
where register_netdevice_notifier() is called from pernet init/exit
methods (which led to deadlock) and fixed them (see previous patches).

The review moved me to one more unusual registration place:
raw_init() (can driver). It may be a reason of problems,
if someone creates in-kernel CAN_RAW sockets, since they
will be destroyed in exit method and raw_release()
will call unregister_netdevice_notifier(). But grep over
kernel tree does not show, someone creates such sockets
from kernel space.

Theoretically, there can be more places like this, and which are
hidden from review, but we found them on the first bumping there
(since there is no a race, it will be 100% reproducible).

nfp: flower: handle MTU changes

This set improves MTU handling for flower offload.  The max MTU is

====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Trigger a port mod message to request an MTU change on the NIC when any
physical port representor is assigned a new MTU value. The driver waits
10 msec for an ack that the FW has set the MTU. If no ack is received the
request is rejected and an appropriate warning flagged.

Rather than maintain an MTU queue per repr, one is maintained per app.
Because the MTU ndo is protected by the rtnl lock, there can never be
contention here. Portmod messages from the NIC are also protected by
rtnl so we first check if the portmod is an ack and, if so, handle outside
rtnl and the cmsg work queue.

Acks are detected by the marking of a bit in a portmod response. They are
then verfied by checking the port number and MTU value expected by the
app. If the expected MTU is 0 then no acks are currently expected.

Also, ensure that the packet headroom reserved by the flower firmware is
considered when accepting an MTU change on any repr.

net: Broadcom drivers coalescing fixes

Following Tal's review of the adaptive RX/TX coalescing feature added to the
SYSTEMPORT and GENET driver a number of things showed up:

- adaptive TX coalescing is not actually a good idea with the current way
  the estimator will program the ring, this results in a higher CPU load, NAPI
  on TX already does a reasonably good job at maintaining the interrupt count low

- both SYSTEMPORT and GENET would suffer from the same issues while configuring
  coalescing parameters where the values would just not be applied correctly
  based on user settings, so we fix that too

Tal, thanks again for your feedback, I would appreciate if you could review that
the new behavior appears to be implemented correctly.

Thanks!

Changes in v2:

- added Tal's reviewed-by to the first patch
- split DIM initialization from coalescing parameters initialization
- avoid duplicating the same code in bcmgenet_set_coalesce() when configuring RX rings
- fixed the condition where default DIM parameters would be applied when
  adaptive RX coalescing would be enabled, do this only if it was disabled before

Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There were a number of issues with setting the RX coalescing parameters:

- we would not be preserving values that would have been configured
  across close/open calls, instead we would always reset to no timeout
  and 1 interrupt per packet, this would also prevent DIM from setting its
  default usec/pkts values

- when adaptive RX would be turned on, we woud not be fetching the
  default parameters, we would stay with no timeout/1 packet per interrupt

There were a number of issues with setting the RX coalescing parameters:

- we would not be preserving values that would have been configured
  across close/open calls, instead we would always reset to no timeout
  and 1 interrupt per packet, this would also prevent DIM from setting its
  default usec/pkts values

- when adaptive RX would be turned on, we woud not be fetching the
  default parameters, we would stay with no timeout/1 packet per
  interrupt until the estimator kicks in and changes that

- finally disabling adaptive RX coalescing while providing parameters
  would not be honored, and we would stay with whatever DIM had
  previously determined instead of the user requested parameters

Adaptive TX coalescing is not currently giving us any advantages and
ends up making the CPU spin more frequently until TX completion. Deny
and disable adaptive TX coalescing for now and rely on static
configuration, we can always add it back later.

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CS]TAG_FILTER features require more than just a bit
flip in dev->features in order to keep the driver in a consistent state.
These features notify the driver of each added/removed vlan, but toggling
of vlan-filter does not notify the driver accordingly for each of the
existing vlans.

This patch implements a similar solution to NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT
behavior (which notifies the driver about UDP ports in the same manner
that vids are reported).

Each toggling of the features propagates to the 8021q module, which
iterates over the vlans and call add/kill ndo accordingly.
