mlx5e-updates-2018-05-17

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>

This series addresses a regression introduced by the
shared block TC changes [1]. Currently, for VF->VF and uplink->VF rules, the
TC core (cls_api) attempts to offload the same flow multiple times into
the driver, as a side effect of the mlx5 registration to the egdev callback.

We use the flow cookie to ignore attempts to add such flows, we can't
reject them (return error), b/c this will fail the offload attempt, so we
ignore that.

The last patch of the series deals with exposing HW stats counters through
ethtool for the vport reps.

Dave - the regression that we are addressing was introduced in 4.15 [1] and applies
to nfp and mlx5. Jiri suggested to push driver side fixes to net-next, this is
already done for nfp [2][3]. Once this is upstream, we will submit a small/point
single patch fix for the TC core code which can serve for net and stable, but not
carried into net-next, b/c it might limit some future use-cases.

mlx5 core dirver updates for both net-next and rdma-next branches.

From Christophe JAILLET, first three patche to use kvfree where needed.

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>

Next six patches from Roi and Co adds support for merged
sriov e-switch which comes to serve cases where both PFs, VFs set
on them and both uplinks are to be used in single v-switch SW model.
When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically
merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs.

This model allows to offload TC eswitch rules between VFs belonging
to different PFs (and hence have different eswitch affinity), it also
sets the some of the foundations needed for uplink LAG support.

tcp: implement SACK compression

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.

Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.

This patch series adds SACK compression, but the infrastructure
could be leveraged to also compress ACK in the future.

v2: Addressed Neal feedback.
    Added two sysctls to allow fine tuning, or even disabling the feature.

v3: take rtt = min(srtt, rcv_rtt) as Yuchung suggested, because rcv_rtt
    can be over estimated for RPC (or sender limited)

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends

RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.

Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.

This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.

Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :

	delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)

If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.

When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.

Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.

A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.

net: stmmac: Clean-up and tune-up

This targets to uniformize the handling of the different GMAC versions in
stmmac_main.c file and also tune-up the HW.

Currently there are some if/else conditions in the main source file which
calls different callbacks depending on the ID of GMAC.

With the introducion of a generic HW interface handling which automatically
selects the GMAC callbacks to be used, it is now unpleasant to see if
conditions in the main code because this should be completely agnostic of the
GMAC version.

This series removes most of these conditions. There are some if conditions
that remain untouched but the callbacks handling are now uniformized.

Tested in GMAC5, hope I didn't break any previous versions.

The table is the one which originally was added for offloading TC NIC
(not eswitch) rules.

This scheme breaks when the core TC code calls us to add the same flow
twice, (e.g under egdev use case) since we don't spot that and offload
a 2nd flow into the HW with the wrong source vport.

As a pre-step to solve that, we move to use a single table which keeps
all offloaded TC eswitch flows. The table is located at the eswitch
