Add an input flag to flow dissector on rather dissection should be
stopped when a flow label is encountered. Presumably, the flow label
is derived from a sufficient hash of an inner transport packet so
further dissection is not needed (that is ports are not included in
the flow hash). Using the flow label instead of ports has the additional
benefit that packet fragments should hash to same value as non-fragments
for a flow (assuming that the same flow label is used).
We set this flag by default in for skb_get_hash.

The problem is that mdiobus_unregister() deletes the bus device before
unregistering the phy devices on the bus. This wasn't a problem before
because the phys were not children of the bus:
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0:03
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0
But now that they are:
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0/xgene-mii-eth0:03
when mdiobus_unregister deletes the bus device, the phy subdirs are
removed from sysfs also. So when the phys are unregistered afterward,
we get the warning. This patch changes the order so that phys are
unregistered before the bus device is deleted.

DSA port configuration and status
This patchset allows various switch port settings to be configured and
port status to be sampled. Some of these patches have been posted
before.
The first three patches provide infrastructure for configuring a
switch ports link speed and duplex from a fixed_link phy.
Patch four then uses this infrastructure to allow the CPU and DSA
ports of a switch to be configured using a fixed-link property in the
device tree.
Patches five and six allow a phy-mode property to be specified in the
device tree, and allow this to be used for configuring RGMII delays.
Patches seven through nine allow link status, for example that of an
SFP module, to be read from a gpio.

What features a phy supports is masked in genphy_config_init() by
looking at the PHYs BMSR register.
If the link is down, fixed_phy_update_regs() will only set the auto-
negotiation capable bit in BMSR. Thus genphy_config_init() comes to
the conclusion the PHY can only perform 10/Half, and masks out the
higher speed features. If however the link it up, BMSR is set to
indicate the speed the PHY is capable of auto-negotiating, and
genphy_config_init() does not mask out the high speed features.
To fix this, when the link is down, have fixed_phy_update_regs() leave
the link status, auto-negotiation complete, and link partner
capabilities unset, but set all the local capabilities depending on
the fixed phy speed.

The current code sets user ports to perform auto negotiation using the

There are however use cases where the CPU has a slower port, and when
user ports have SFP modules with fixed speed. In these cases, port

needs to implement the adjust_link op, so the port settings can be

Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding
of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module,
switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc
implementations looking like this:
- using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link
indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware
- pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth
Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the
correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their
CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able
to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context
of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not
need to monitor this link since it should be always up.

tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling
Original cover letter:
Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
- responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default
- 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set
Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a
host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so
we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check.
We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make
this case work.
In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have'
information is the dst_features field.
The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a
serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus
tree.

- Addressed Dave's feedback, not exposing any bits to user space
- Added patch 3 to reject incorrect configurations

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.
We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame
(ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new
frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program
unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then
calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are
VALID frames.
To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames
to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(),
netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

dual node system. User doesn't have option to assign which Qsets/VFs
to be merged. Upon request from VF, PF assigns next free Qsets as
secondary qsets. To maintain current behavior no of queues is kept
to 8 by default which can be increased via ethtool.
If user wants to unbind NICVF driver from a secondary Qset then it
should be done after tearing down primary VF's interface.

This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a

This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low

will be almost same as normal packets.

Raghavendra K T says:
====================
Optimize the snmp stat aggregation for large cpus
While creating 1000 containers, perf is showing lot of time spent in
snmp_fold_field on a large cpu system.
The current patch tries to improve by reordering the statistics gathering.
Please note that similar overhead was also reported while creating
veth pairs https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/19/556
Changes in V4:
- remove 'item' variable and use IPSTATS_MIB_MAX to avoid sparse
warning (Eric) also remove 'item' parameter (Joe)
- add missing memset of padding.
Changes in V3:
- use memset to initialize temp buffer in leaf function. (David)
- use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe)
- Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric)
-
Changes in V2:
- Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack. (Eric)
Setup:
160 cpu (20 core) baremetal powerpc system with 1TB memory
1000 docker containers was created with command
docker run -itd ubuntu:15.04 /bin/bash in loop
observation:
Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) perf data showed, creating veth interfaces resulting in
the below code path was taking more time.
rtnl_fill_ifinfo
-> inet6_fill_link_af
-> inet6_fill_ifla6_attrs
-> snmp_fold_field
proposed idea:
currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data to of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
The patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.
Performance of docker creation improved by around more than 2x
after the patch.
