If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching css. The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's (cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target; however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't include tasks which are already in the target cgroup. Drop @skip_css from cgroup_taskset_for_each().

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

With module supported dropped from net_prio, no controller is using cgroup module support. None of actual resource controllers can be built as a module and we aren't gonna add new controllers which don't control resources. This patch drops module support from cgroup. * cgroup_[un]load_subsys() and cgroup_subsys->module removed. * As there's no point in distinguishing IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE(), cgroup_subsys.h now uses IS_ENABLED() directly. * enum cgroup_subsys_id now exactly matches the list of enabled controllers as ordered in cgroup_subsys.h. * cgroup_subsys[] is now a contiguously occupied array. Size specification is no longer necessary and dropped. * for_each_builtin_subsys() is removed and for_each_subsys() is updated to not require any locking. * module ref handling is removed from rebind_subsystems(). * Module related comments dropped. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core"). v3: Added {} around the if (need_forkexit_callback) block in cgroup_post_fork() for readability as suggested by Li.

net_prio is the only cgroup which is allowed to be built as a module. The savings from allowing one controller to be built as a module are tiny especially given that cgroup module support itself adds quite a bit of complexity. Given that none of other controllers has much chance of being made a module and that we're unlikely to add new modular controllers, the added complexity is simply not justifiable. As a first step to drop cgroup module support, this patch changes the config option to bool from tristate and drops module related code from it. Also, while an earlier commit fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core") dropped module support from net_cls cgroup, it retained a call to cgroup_load_subsys(), which is noop for built-in controllers. Drop it along with init_netclassid_cgroup(). v2: Removed modular version of task_netprioidx() in include/net/netprio_cgroup.h as suggested by Li Zefan. v3: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core"). net_cls cgroup part is mostly dropped except for removal of init_netclassid_cgroup().

When we have multiple devices attempting to sync the same address to a single destination, each device should be permitted to sync it once. To accomplish this, pass the 'sync_cnt' of the source address when adding the addresss to the lower device. 'sync_cnt' tracks how many time a given address has been succefully synced. This way, we know that if the 'sync_cnt' passed in is 0, we should sync this address. Also, turn 'synced' member back into the counter as was originally done in commit 4543fbef. net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly. It tracks how many time a given address has been added via a 'sync' operation. For every successfull 'sync' the counter is incremented, and for ever 'unsync', the counter is decremented. This makes sure that the address will be properly removed from the the lower device when all the upper devices have removed it.

Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to the same TCP session. For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header. The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination port is registered to have gro handler. Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9 ("net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient. Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel. As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

Currently, if a device changes its mtu, first the change happens (invloving all the side effects), and after that the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is sent so that other devices can catch up with the new mtu. However, if they return NOTIFY_BAD, then the change is reverted and error returned. This is a really long and costy operation (sometimes). To fix this, add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU notification which is called prior to any change actually happening, and if any callee returns NOTIFY_BAD - the change is aborted.

GRO layer has a limit of 8 flows being held in GRO list, for performance reason. When a packet comes for a flow not yet in the list, and list is full, we immediately give it to upper stacks, lowering aggregation performance. With TSO auto sizing and FQ packet scheduler, this situation happens more often. This patch changes strategy to simply evict the oldest flow of the list. This works better because of the nature of packet trains for which GRO is efficient. This also has the effect of lowering the GRO latency if many flows are competing. Tested : Used a 40Gbps NIC, with 4 RX queues, and 200 concurrent TCP_STREAM netperf. Before patch, aggregate rate is 11Gbps (while a single flow can reach 30Gbps) After patch, line rate is reached.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation protocols in the GRO stack in the future. The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path, thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly. Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/ ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE. The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when validating the GRE csum. Note that commit 60769a5d "ipv4: gre: add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible. Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS). In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal. I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning will be needed to decide the best setting. All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs. (super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30) An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123) is configured. The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off). 1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 9.16Gbps CPU utilization: 19% 1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 5.9Gbps CPU utilization: 15% 1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 12-13% 1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 10% The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE). 2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells) 2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.53Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.1.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.97Gbps CPU utilization: 7-8% 2.1.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.83Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% 2.1.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.98Gbps CPU utilization: 5% 2.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro off 2.2.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 5.93Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.2.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 5.62Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 7.69Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.96Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% Signed-off-by: NH.K.
