On topologies including few levels of PCIe switching X540 can run into an unexpected completion error. We get around this by waiting after enabling loopback a sufficient amount of time until Tx Data Fetch is sent. We then poll the pending transaction bit to ensure we received the completion. Only then do we go on to clear the buffers.

It's kind of silly to configure and attempt to use a bunch of queue pairs when you're running on a single (virtual) CPU. Instead of unconditionally configuring all of the queues that the PF gives us, clamp the number of queue pairs to the number of CPUs.

In early init, if we get an unexpected message from the PF (such as link status), we just kick an error back to the init task, causing it to restart its state machine and delaying initialization. Make the early init AQ message receive code more robust by handling messages in a loop, and ignoring those that we aren't interested in. This also gets rid of some scary log messages that really didn't indicate a problem.

The ARQ events cause a service_task execution, and we do a link_status check and full stats gathering for each service_task. However, when there are a lot of ARQ events, such as when doing an NVM update, we end up doing 10's if not 100's of these per second, thereby heavily abusing the PCI bus and especially the Firmware. This patch adds a check to keep the service_task from running these periodic tasks more than once per second, while still allowing quick action to service the events.

The code was polling the firmware tail register for completion every 10 microseconds, which is way faster than the firmware can respond. This changes the poll interval to 1ms, which reduces polling CPU utilization, and the number of times we loop. The maximum delay is still 100ms.

由 Sowmini Varadhan 提交于
When vnet_start_xmit() is concurrent with vnet_ack(), we may have a race that looks like: thread 1 thread 2 vnet_start_xmit vnet_event_napi -> vnet_rx __vnet_tx_trigger for some desc X at this point dr->prod == X peer sends back a stopped ack for X we process X, but X == dr->prod so we bail out in vnet_ack with !idx_is_pending update dr->prod As a result of the fact that we never processed the stopped ack for X, the Tx path is led to incorrectly believe that the peer is still "started" and reading, but the peer has stopped reading, which will ultimately end in flow-control assertions. The fix is to synchronize the above 2 paths on the netif_tx_lock. Signed-off-by: NSowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This relatively large batch of changes is comprised of the following: * large mac80211-hwsim changes from Ben, Jukka and a bit myself * OCB/WAVE/11p support from Rostislav on behalf of the Czech Technical University in Prague and Volkswagen Group Research * minstrel VHT work from Karl * more CSA work from Luca * WMM admission control support in mac80211 (myself) * various smaller fixes, spelling corrections, and minor API additions" For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says: "Here's the first bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. The vast majority of patches are for ieee802154 from Alexander Aring with various fixes and cleanups. There are also several LE/SMP fixes as well as improved support for handling LE devices that have lost their pairing information (the patches from Alfonso). Jukka provides a couple of stability fixes for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset handling fix for H5." For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Major changes are: o ethtool support (Ben) o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal) o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification purposes (me) o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal) o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me) o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar) o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me) And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation. The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC. The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard infrastructure he built." Along with that are the usual sort of updates and such for ath9k, brcmfmac, wil6210, and a handful of other bits here and there...

Herbert Xu says: ==================== ipv4: Simplify raw_probe_proto_opt and avoid reading user iov twice This series rewrites the function raw_probe_proto_opt in a more readable fasion, and then fixes the long-standing bug where we read the probed bytes twice which means that what we're using to probe may in fact be invalid. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

由 Herbert Xu 提交于
Ever since raw_probe_proto_opt was added it had the problem of causing the user iov to be read twice, once during the probe for the protocol header and once again in ip_append_data. This is a potential security problem since it means that whatever we're probing may be invalid. This patch plugs the hole by firstly advancing the iov so we don't read the same spot again, and secondly saving what we read the first time around for use by ip_append_data.

The function raw_probe_proto_opt tries to extract the first two bytes from the user input in order to seed the IPsec lookup for ICMP packets. In doing so it's processing iovec by hand and overcomplicating things. This patch replaces the manual iovec processing with a call to memcpy_fromiovecend.

Will post few more series so that we can cover all the macros so that they all follow the same style to be consistent. The patches series is created against 'net-next' tree.

To enable gro_flush_timeout, a driver has to use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.
