      qed: Delete redundant doorbell recovery types · 9ac6bb14
      Denis Bolotin 提交于
      DB_REC_DRY_RUN (running doorbell recovery without sending doorbells) is
      never used. DB_REC_ONCE (send a single doorbell from the doorbell recovery)
      is not needed anymore because by running the periodic handler we make sure
      we check the overflow status later instead.
      This patch is needed because in the next patches, the only doorbell
      recovery type being used is DB_REC_REAL_DEAL, and the fixes are much
      cleaner without this enum.

      dctcp: more accurate tracking of packets delivery · e3058450
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      After commit e21db6f6 ("tcp: track total bytes delivered with ECN CE marks")
      core TCP stack does a very good job tracking ECN signals.
      
      The "sender's best estimate of CE information" Yuchung mentioned in his
      patch is indeed the best we can do.
      
      DCTCP can use tp->delivered_ce and tp->delivered to not duplicate the logic,
      and use the existing best estimate.
      
      This solves some problems, since current DCTCP logic does not deal with losses
      and/or GRO or ack aggregation very well.
      
      This also removes a dubious use of inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ack.rcv_mss
      (this should have been tp->mss_cache), and a 64 bit divide.
      
      Finally, we can see that the DCTCP logic, calling dctcp_update_alpha() for
      every ACK could be done differently, calling it only once per RTT.

      selftests: fib_tests: Fix 'Command line is not complete' errors · a5f62298
      David Ahern 提交于
      A couple of tests are verifying a route has been removed. The helper
      expects the prefix as the first part of the expected output. When
      checking that a route has been deleted the prefix is empty leading
      to an invalid ip command:
      
        $ ip ro ls match
        Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
      
      Fix by moving the comparison of expected output and output to a new
      function that is used by both check_route and check_route6. Use the
      new helper for the 2 checks on route removal.
      
      Also, remove the reset of 'set -x' in route_setup which overrides the
      user managed setting.

      The FLUSH command is used to empty the pnet table. No return code is
      expected from the command. Commit a9d8b0b1e3d6 added namespace support
      for the pnet table and changed the FLUSH command processing to call
      smc_pnet_remove_by_pnetid() to remove the pnet entries. This function
      returns -ENOENT when no entry was deleted, which is now the return code
      of the FLUSH command. As a result the FLUSH command will return an error
      when the pnet table is already empty.
      Restore the expected behavior and let FLUSH always return 0.

      fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, getpid()) selects the recipient of SIGURG signals
      that are delivered when out-of-band data arrives on socket fd.
      If an SMC socket program makes use of such an fcntl() call, it fails
      in case of fallback to TCP-mode. In case of fallback the traffic is
      processed with the internal TCP socket. Propagating field "file" from the
      SMC socket to the internal TCP socket fixes the issue.

      net/smc: wait for pending work before clcsock release_sock · fd57770d
      Karsten Graul 提交于
      When the clcsock is already released using sock_release() and a pending
      smc_listen_work accesses the clcsock than that will fail. Solve this
      by canceling and waiting for the work to complete first. Because the
      work holds the sock_lock it must make sure that the lock is not hold
      before the new helper smc_clcsock_release() is invoked. And before the
      smc_listen_work starts working check if the parent listen socket is
      still valid, otherwise stop the work early.

      tipc: missing entries in name table of publications · d1841533
      Hoang Le 提交于
      When binding multiple services with specific type 1Ki, 2Ki..,
      this leads to some entries in the name table of publications
      missing when listed out via 'tipc name show'.
      
      The problem is at identify zero last_type conditional provided
      via netlink. The first is initial 'type' when starting name table
      dummping. The second is continuously with zero type (node state
      service type). Then, lookup function failure to finding node state
      service type in next iteration.
      
      To solve this, adding more conditional to marked as dirty type and
      lookup correct service type for the next iteration instead of select
      the first service as initial 'type' zero.

      failover: allow name change on IFF_UP slave interfaces · 8065a779
      Si-Wei Liu 提交于
      When a netdev appears through hot plug then gets enslaved by a failover
      master that is already up and running, the slave will be opened
      right away after getting enslaved. Today there's a race that userspace
      (udev) may fail to rename the slave if the kernel (net_failover)
      opens the slave earlier than when the userspace rename happens.
      Unlike bond or team, the primary slave of failover can't be renamed by
      userspace ahead of time, since the kernel initiated auto-enslavement is
      unable to, or rather, is never meant to be synchronized with the rename
      request from userspace.
      
      As the failover slave interfaces are not designed to be operated
      directly by userspace apps: IP configuration, filter rules with
      regard to network traffic passing and etc., should all be done on master
      interface. In general, userspace apps only care about the
      name of master interface, while slave names are less important as long
      as admin users can see reliable names that may carry
      other information describing the netdev. For e.g., they can infer that
      "ens3nsby" is a standby slave of "ens3", while for a
      name like "eth0" they can't tell which master it belongs to.
      
      Historically the name of IFF_UP interface can't be changed because
      there might be admin script or management software that is already
      relying on such behavior and assumes that the slave name can't be
      changed once UP. But failover is special: with the in-kernel
      auto-enslavement mechanism, the userspace expectation for device
      enumeration and bring-up order is already broken. Previously initramfs
      and various userspace config tools were modified to bypass failover
      slaves because of auto-enslavement and duplicate MAC address. Similarly,
      in case that users care about seeing reliable slave name, the new type
      of failover slaves needs to be taken care of specifically in userspace
      anyway.
      
      It's less risky to lift up the rename restriction on failover slave
      which is already UP. Although it's possible this change may potentially
      break userspace component (most likely configuration scripts or
      management software) that assumes slave name can't be changed while
      UP, it's relatively a limited and controllable set among all userspace
      components, which can be fixed specifically to listen for the rename
      events on failover slaves. Userspace component interacting with slaves
      is expected to be changed to operate on failover master interface
      instead, as the failover slave is dynamic in nature which may come and
      go at any point.  The goal is to make the role of failover slaves less
      relevant, and userspace components should only deal with failover master
      in the long run.
