      net: ethernet: ti: cpts: move tc mult update in cpts_fifo_read() · 0d6df3e6
      Grygorii Strashko authored 
      

Now CPTS driver .adjfreq() generates request to read CPTS current time
(CPTS_EV_PUSH) with intention to process all pending event using previous
frequency adjustment values before switching to the new ones. So
CPTS_EV_PUSH works as a marker to switch to the new frequency adjustment
values. Current code assumes that all job is done in .adjfreq(), but after
enabling IRQ this will not be true any more.

Hence save new frequency adjustment values (mult) and perform actual freq
adjustment in cpts_fifo_read() immediately after CPTS_EV_PUSH is received.

      net: ethernet: ti: cpts: separate hw counter read from timecounter · e66dccce
      Grygorii Strashko authored 
      

Now CPTS HW time reading code is implemented in timecounter->cyclecounter
.read() callback and performs following operations:
timecounter_read() ->cc.read() -> cpts_systim_read()
 - request current CPTS HW time CPTS_TS_PUSH.TS_PUSH = 1
 - poll CPTS FIFO for CPTS_EV_PUSH event with current HW timestamp

This approach need to be changed for the future switch to PTP PHC
.gettimex64() callback, which require to separate requesting current CPTS
HW time and processing CPTS FIFO. And for the follow up patch, which
improves .adjfreq() implementation.

This patch moves code accessing CPTS HW out of timecounter code as
following:
- convert HW timestamp of every CPTS event to PTP time (us) and store it as
part struct cpts_event;
- add CPTS context field to store current CPTS HW time (counter) value and
update it on CPTS_EV_PUSH reception;
- move code accessing CPTS HW out of timecounter code and use current CPTS
HW time (counter) from CPTS context instead;
- ensure timecounter->cycle_last is updated on CPTS_EV_PUSH reception.

After this change CPTS timecounter will only perform timekeeper role
without actually accessing CPTS HW.

====================
net: napi: addition of napi_defer_hard_irqs

This patch series augments gro_glush_timeout feature with napi_defer_hard_irqs

As extensively described in first patch changelog, this can suppresss
the chit-chat traffic between NIC and host to signal interrupts and re-arming
them, since this can be an issue on high speed NIC with many queues.

The last patch in this series converts mlx4 TX completion to
napi_complete_done(), to enable this new mechanism.

      net/mlx4_en: use napi_complete_done() in TX completion · cf4058db
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      

In order to benefit from the new napi_defer_hard_irqs feature,
we need to use napi_complete_done() variant in this driver.

RX path is already using it, this patch implements TX completion side.

mlx4_en_process_tx_cq() now returns the amount of retired packets,
instead of a boolean, so that mlx4_en_poll_tx_cq() can pass
this value to napi_complete_done().

      net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature · 6f8b12d6
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Back in commit 3b47d303 ("net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer")
we added the ability to arm one high resolution timer, that we used
to keep not-complete packets in GRO engine a bit longer, hoping that further
frames might be added to them.

Since then, we added the napi_complete_done() interface, and commit
364b6055

 ("net: busy-poll: return busypolling status to drivers")
allowed drivers to avoid re-arming NIC interrupts if we made a promise
that their NAPI poll() handler would be called in the near future.

This infrastructure can be leveraged, thanks to a new device parameter,
which allows to arm the napi hrtimer, instead of re-arming the device
hard IRQ.

We have noticed that on some servers with 32 RX queues or more, the chit-chat
between the NIC and the host caused by IRQ delivery and re-arming could hurt
throughput by ~20% on 100Gbit NIC.

In contrast, hrtimers are using local (percpu) resources and might have lower
cost.

The new tunable, named napi_defer_hard_irqs, is placed in the same hierarchy
than gro_flush_timeout (/sys/class/net/ethX/)

By default, both gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are zero.

This patch does not change the prior behavior of gro_flush_timeout
if used alone : NIC hard irqs should be rearmed as before.

One concrete usage can be :

echo 20000 >/sys/class/net/eth1/gro_flush_timeout
echo 10 >/sys/class/net/eth1/napi_defer_hard_irqs

If at least one packet is retired, then we will reset napi counter
to 10 (napi_defer_hard_irqs), ensuring at least 10 periodic scans
of the queue.

On busy queues, this should avoid NIC hard IRQ, while before this patch IRQ
avoidance was only possible if napi->poll() was exhausting its budget
and not call napi_complete_done().

This feature also can be used to work around some non-optimal NIC irq
coalescing strategies.

Having the ability to insert XX usec delays between each napi->poll()
can increase cache efficiency, since we increase batch sizes.

It also keeps serving cpus not idle too long, reducing tail latencies.

The error recovery is handled by management firmware (MFW) with the help of
qed/qede drivers. Upon detecting the errors, driver informs MFW about this
event which in turn starts a recovery process. MFW sends ERROR_RECOVERY
notification to the driver which performs the required cleanup/recovery
from the driver side.

      net: dsa: add GRO support via gro_cells · e131a563
      Alexander Lobakin authored 
      gro_cells lib is used by different encapsulating netdevices, such as
geneve, macsec, vxlan etc. to speed up decapsulated traffic processing.
CPU tag is a sort of "encapsulation", and we can use the same mechs to
greatly improve overall DSA performance.
skbs are passed to the GRO layer after removing CPU tags, so we don't
need any new packet offload types as it was firstly proposed by me in
the first GRO-over-DSA variant [1].

The size of struct gro_cells is sizeof(void *), so hot struct
dsa_slave_priv becomes only 4/8 bytes bigger, and all critical fields
remain in one 32-byte cacheline.
The other positive side effect is that drivers for network devices
that can be shipped as CPU ports of DSA-driven switches can now use
napi_gro_frags() to pass skbs to kernel. Packets built that way are
completely non-linear and are likely being dropped without GRO.

This was tested on to-be-mainlined-soon Ethernet driver that uses
napi_gro_frags(), and the overall performance was on par with the
variant from [1], sometimes even better due to minimal overhead.
net.core.gro_normal_batch tuning may help to push it to the limit
on particular setups and platforms.

      ipv6: Honor all IPv6 PIO Valid Lifetime values · b75326c2
      Fernando Gont authored 
      

RFC4862 5.5.3 e) prevents received Router Advertisements from reducing
the Valid Lifetime of configured addresses to less than two hours, thus
preventing hosts from reacting to the information provided by a router
that has positive knowledge that a prefix has become invalid.

This patch makes hosts honor all Valid Lifetime values, as per
draft-gont-6man-slaac-renum-06, Section 4.2. This is meant to help
mitigate the problem discussed in draft-ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum.

Note: Attacks aiming at disabling an advertised prefix via a Valid
Lifetime of 0 are not really more harmful than other attacks
that can be performed via forged RA messages, such as those
aiming at completely disabling a next-hop router via an RA that
advertises a Router Lifetime of 0, or performing a Denial of
Service (DoS) attack by advertising illegitimate prefixes via
forged PIOs.  In scenarios where RA-based attacks are of concern,
proper mitigations such as RA-Guard [RFC6105] [RFC7113] should
be implemented.
