TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link
connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide
a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because
of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node
cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall
monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at
a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't
scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure
discovery tolerance.

This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically
reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original
failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm,
background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and
at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will
now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead
of as before 399.

This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed
and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows:

- Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N
  known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm
  must be the same on all nodes.

- The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from
  itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is
  called its "local monitoring domain".

- It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and
  piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages
  (LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in
  the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about
  its monitoring domain.

- Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node
  has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new
  version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change.

- A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain
  matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and
  chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain
  record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on
  indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly
  monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the
  receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards
  that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone.

- Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors,
  each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream
  neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally
  will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone.

- A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that
  cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its
  direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in
  the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss.
  To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some
  nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain
  "heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster
  will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this,
  each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will
  also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes.

- As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain
  records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from
  unnecessarily conveying  unaltered domain records, and receivers from
  performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such
  as re-assigning domain heads.

- As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the
  new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold
  value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value
  will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when
  it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to
  a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32)
  the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the
  threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly.

- This change is fully backwards compatible.

====================
skb_array: array based FIFO for skbs

This is in response to the proposal by Jason to make tun
rx packet queue lockless using a circular buffer.
My testing seems to show that at least for the common usecase
in networking, which isn't lockless, circular buffer
with indices does not perform that well, because
each index access causes a cache line to bounce between
CPUs, and index access causes stalls due to the dependency.

By comparison, an array of pointers where NULL means invalid
and !NULL means valid, can be updated without messing up barriers
at all and does not have this issue.

On the flip side, cache pressure may be caused by using large queues.
tun has a queue of 1000 entries by default and that's 8K.
At this point I'm not sure this can be solved efficiently.
The correct solution might be sizing the queues appropriately.

Here's an implementation of this idea: it can be used more
or less whenever sk_buff_head can be used, except you need
to know the queue size in advance.

As this might be useful outside of networking, I implemented
a generic array of void pointers, with a type-safe wrapper for skbs.

It remains to be seen whether resizing is required, in case it is
I included patches implementing resizing by holding both the
consumer and the producer locks.

I think this code works fine without any extra memory barriers since we
always read and write the same location, so the accesses can not be
reordered.
Multiple writes of the same value into memory would mess things up
for us, I don't think compilers would do it though.
But if people feel it's better to be safe wrt compiler optimizations,
specifying queue as volatile would probably do it in a cleaner way
than converting all accesses to READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. Thoughts?

The only issue is with calls within a loop using the __ptr_ring_XXX
accessors - in theory compiler could hoist accesses out of the loop.

Following volatile-considered-harmful.txt I merely
documented that callers that busy-poll should invoke cpu_relax().
Most people will use the external skb_array_XXX APIs with a spinlock,
so this should not be an issue for them.

Eric Dumazet suggested adding an extra pointer to skb for when
we have a single outstanding packet. I could not figure out
a way to implement this without a shared consumer/producer lock
though, which would cause cache line bounces by itself.

Jesper, Jason, I know that both of you tested this,
please post Tested-by tags for whatever was tested.

This adds ring resize support. Seems to be necessary as
users such as tun allow userspace control over queue size.

If resize is used, this costs us ability to peek at queue without
consumer lock - should not be a big deal as peek and consumer are
usually run on the same CPU.

If ring is made bigger, ring contents is preserved.  If ring is made
smaller, extra pointers are passed to an optional destructor callback.

Cleanup function also gains destructor callback such that
all pointers in queue can be cleaned up.

This changes some APIs but we don't have any users yet,

net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses

IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the
VRF driver. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups,
packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on
the VRF device table.

Multicast routes do not make sense for the L3 master device directly.
Accordingly, do not add mcast routes for the device, and the VRF driver
should fail attempts to send packets to ipv6 mcast addresses on the

====================
RDS: multiple connection paths for scaling

Today RDS-over-TCP is implemented by demux-ing multiple PF_RDS sockets
between any 2 endpoints (where endpoint == [IP address, port]) over a
single TCP socket between the 2 IP addresses involved. This has the
limitation that it ends up funneling multiple RDS flows over a single
TCP flow, thus the rds/tcp connection is
   (a) upper-bounded to the single-flow bandwidth,
   (b) suffers from head-of-line blocking for the RDS sockets.

Better throughput (for a fixed small packet size, MTU) can be achieved
by having multiple TCP/IP flows per rds/tcp connection, i.e., multipathed
RDS (mprds).  Each such TCP/IP flow constitutes a path for the rds/tcp
connection. RDS sockets will be attached to a path based on some hash
(e.g., of local address and RDS port number) and packets for that RDS
socket will be sent over the attached path using TCP to segment/reassemble
RDS datagrams on that path.

The table below, generated using a prototype that implements mprds,
shows that this is significant for scaling to 40G.  Packet sizes
used were: 8K byte req, 256 byte resp. MTU: 1500.  The parameters for
RDS-concurrency used below are described in the rds-stress(1) man page-
the number listed is proportional to the number of threads at which max
throughput was attained.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------
     RDS-concurrency   Num of       tx+rx K/s (iops)       throughput

        16             1             600K -  700K            4 Gbps
        28             8            5000K - 6000K           32 Gbps
  -------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQ: what is the relation between mprds and mptcp?
  mprds is orthogonal to mptcp. Whereas mptcp creates
  sub-flows for a single TCP connection, mprds parallelizes tx/rx
  at the RDS layer. MPRDS with N paths will allow N datagrams to
  be sent in parallel; each path will continue to send one
  datagram at a time, with sender and receiver keeping track of
  the retransmit and dgram-assembly state based on the RDS header.
  If desired, mptcp can additionally be used to speed up each TCP
  path. That acceleration is orthogonal to the parallelization benefits
  of mprds.

This patch series lays down the foundational data-structures to support
mprds in the kernel. It implements the changes to split up the
rds_connection structure into a common (to all paths) part,
and a per-path rds_conn_path. All I/O workqs are driven from
the rds_conn_path.

Note that this patchset does not (yet) actually enable multipathing
for any of the transports; all transports will continue to use a
single path with the refactored data-structures. A subsequent patchset
will  add the changes to the rds-tcp module to actually use mprds
in rds-tcp.
