      tipc: add support for broadcast rcv stats dumping · 03b6fefd
      Tuong Lien authored 
      

This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
indicator.

The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
format: 'broadcast-link:<peer-id>'.

For example:

Link <broadcast-link:1001002>
  Window:50 packets
  RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
  TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
  RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
  TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
  Congestion link:0  Send queue max:0 avg:0

In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.

Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
now be retrieved simply via the 'l->name'.

      tipc: enable broadcast retrans via unicast · a91d55d1
      Tuong Lien authored 
      

In some environment, broadcast traffic is suppressed at high rate (i.e.
a kind of bandwidth limit setting). When it is applied, TIPC broadcast
can still run successfully. However, when it comes to a high load, some
packets will be dropped first and TIPC tries to retransmit them but the
packet retransmission is intentionally broadcast too, so making things
worse and not helpful at all.

This commit enables the broadcast retransmission via unicast which only
retransmits packets to the specific peer that has really reported a gap
i.e. not broadcasting to all nodes in the cluster, so will prevent from
being suppressed, and also reduce some overheads on the other peers due
to duplicates, finally improve the overall TIPC broadcast performance.

Note: the functionality can be turned on/off via the sysctl file:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni

Default is '0', i.e. the broadcast retransmission still works as usual.

      tipc: add back link trace events · c6ed7a5c
      Tuong Lien authored 
      

In the previous commit ("tipc: add Gap ACK blocks support for broadcast
link"), we have removed the following link trace events due to the code
changes:

- tipc_link_bc_ack
- tipc_link_retrans

This commit adds them back along with some minor changes to adapt to
the new code.

      tipc: introduce Gap ACK blocks for broadcast link · d7626b5a
      Tuong Lien authored 
      As achieved through commit 9195948f

 ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput
by Gap ACK blocks"), we apply the same mechanism for the broadcast link
as well. The 'Gap ACK blocks' data field in a 'PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG' will
consist of two parts built for both the broadcast and unicast types:

 31                       16 15                        0
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
|  bgack_cnt  |  ugack_cnt  |            len            |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -
|            gap            |            ack            |   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+    > bc gacks
:                           :                           :   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -
|            gap            |            ack            |   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+    > uc gacks
:                           :                           :   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+  -

which is "automatically" backward-compatible.

We also increase the max number of Gap ACK blocks to 128, allowing upto
64 blocks per type (total buffer size = 516 bytes).

Besides, the 'tipc_link_advance_transmq()' function is refactored which
is applicable for both the unicast and broadcast cases now, so some old
functions can be removed and the code is optimized.

With the patch, TIPC broadcast is more robust regardless of packet loss
or disorder, latency, ... in the underlying network. Its performance is
boost up significantly.
For example, experiment with a 5% packet loss rate results:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    0m 42.46s
user    0m 1.16s
sys     0m 17.67s

Without the patch:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    8m 27.94s
user    0m 0.55s
sys     0m 2.38s

      qed: Add EDPM mode type for user-fw compatibility · ff937b91
      Yuval Basson authored 
      In older FW versions the completion flag was treated as the ack flag in
edpm messages. Expose the FW option of setting which mode the QP is in
by adding a flag to the qedr <-> qed API.

Flag is added for backward compatibility with libqedr.
This flag will be set by qedr after determining whether the libqedr is
using the updated version.

      tcp: tcp_v4_err() icmp skb is named icmp_skb · 23917494
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      I missed the fact that tcp_v4_err() differs from tcp_v6_err().

After commit 4d1a2d9e ("Rename skb to icmp_skb in tcp_v4_err()")
the skb argument has been renamed to icmp_skb only in one function.

I will in a future patch reconciliate these functions to avoid
this kind of confusion.

get_coalesce returns 0 or ERRNO, but the return value isn't checked.
The returned coalesce data may be invalid if an ERRNO is set,
therefore better check and propagate the return value.

      Merge branch 'net-provide-a-devres-variant-of-register_netdev' · c0096a28
      David S. Miller authored 
      

Bartosz Golaszewski says:

====================
net: provide a devres variant of register_netdev()

Using devres helpers allows to shrink the probing code, avoid memory leaks in
error paths make sure the order in which resources are freed is the exact
opposite of their allocation. This series proposes to add a devres variant
of register_netdev() that will only work with net_device structures whose
memory is also managed.

First we add the missing documentation entry for the only other networking
devres helper: devm_alloc_etherdev().

Next we move devm_alloc_etherdev() into a separate source file.

We then use a proxy structure in devm_alloc_etherdev() to improve readability.

Last: we implement devm_register_netdev() and use it in mtk-eth-mac driver.

v1 -> v2:
- rebase on top of net-next after driver rename, no functional changes
