This patch makes init_net's high_thresh limit to be the maximum for all
namespaces, thus introducing a global memory limit threshold equal to the
sum of the individual high_thresh limits which are capped.
It also introduces some sane minimums for low_thresh as it shouldn't be
able to drop below 0 (or > high_thresh in the unsigned case), and
overall low_thresh should not ever be above high_thresh, so we make the
following relations for a namespace:
init_net:
 high_thresh - max(not capped), min(init_net low_thresh)
 low_thresh - max(init_net high_thresh), min (0)

all other namespaces:
 high_thresh = max(init_net high_thresh), min(namespace's low_thresh)
 low_thresh = max(namespace's high_thresh), min(0)

The major issue with having low_thresh > high_thresh is that we'll
schedule eviction but never evict anything and thus rely only on the
timers.

Instead of rebuilding every n seconds, take advantage of the upper

If we hit it, mark table for rebuild and schedule workqueue.
To prevent frequent rebuilds when we're completely overloaded,
don't rebuild more than once every 5 seconds.

ipfrag_secret_interval sysctl is now obsolete and has been marked as

When the high_thresh limit is reached we try to toss the 'oldest'
incomplete fragment queues until memory limits are below the low_thresh
value.  This happens in softirq/packet processing context.

This has two drawbacks:

1) processors might evict a queue that was about to be completed
by another cpu, because they will compete wrt. resource usage and
resource reclaim.

2) LRU list maintenance is expensive.

But when constantly overloaded, even the 'least recently used' element is
recent, so removing 'lru' queue first is not 'fairer' than removing any
other fragment queue.

This moves eviction out of the fast path:

When the low threshold is reached, a work queue is scheduled
which then iterates over the table and removes the queues that exceed
the memory limits of the namespace. It sets a new flag called
INET_FRAG_EVICTED on the evicted queues so the proper counters will get
incremented when the queue is forcefully expired.

When the high threshold is reached, no more fragment queues are
created until we're below the limit again.

The LRU list is now unused and will be removed in a followup patch.

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW.
This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new
device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either --
with one exception.

Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a
PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the
HW source.

The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor
can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one
legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed.

This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device
drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit.
The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will
only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label
manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality
of RFC 6438.

Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior
system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this
functionality per socket.

By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts
with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we
may want to enable it by default.

It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic
flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD,
automatic flow labels default to enabled.

Performance impact:

Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for
IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for
every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case
the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.

Automatic flow labels disabled:

  TCP_RR:
    86.53% CPU utilization

Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring
running full.  Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen.
(Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy"
counters.)

Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due
to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines
TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the
ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs".

Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup
interval.  Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC
tuning for maximum packet per sec performance.

Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000.
TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs":
 (Single CPU performance, E5-2630, ixgbe)
 - 3935002 pps - rx-usecs:  1 (irqs:  9346)
 - 5132350 pps - rx-usecs: 10 (irqs: 99157)

Notice after commit 6f25cd47 (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled
devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores
the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag.  This allow us to put
more pressure on the TX ring buffers.

It is the ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx() call that stops the transmits, and
pktgen respecting this in the call to netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq).

This can be used in virtual networking applications, and

default.

A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and
hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or
virtual machines.  With proper use of ip rules, routing tables,
veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces,
and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses,
it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple

with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers.  With the

The macro 'A' used in internal BPF interpreter:
 #define A regs[insn->a_reg]
was easily confused with the name of classic BPF register 'A', since
'A' would mean two different things depending on context.

This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:

- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers

- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
  in internal BPF programs generated from classic

- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
        __u8    code;           /* opcode */
        __u8    dst_reg:4;      /* dest register */
        __u8    src_reg:4;      /* source register */
        __s16   off;            /* signed offset */
        __s32   imm;            /* signed immediate constant */
};

- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
  BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
  BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
  BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active
flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime
this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less
re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables
this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course
the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing
that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if
the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup.

The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier
behavior.

Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with
4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these

Currently it's disabled because it's sometimes hard, in typical configs, to
make it work - because of the nature how the loadbalance modes work - as
it's hard to deliver valid arp replies to correct slaves by the switch.

However we still can use arp_validation in loadbalance with several other
configs, per example with arp_validate == 2 for backup with one broadcast
domain, without the switch(es) doing any balancing - this way we'd be (a
bit more) sure that the slave is up.

So, enable it to let users decide which one works/suits them best. Also
correct the mode limitation from BOND_OPT_ARP_VALIDATE.
