Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

+Marvell Orion/Discovery ethernet controller
+=============================================
+
+The Marvell Discovery ethernet controller can be found on Marvell Orion SoCs
+(Kirkwood, Dove, Orion5x, and Discovery Innovation) and as part of Marvell
+Discovery system controller chips (mv64[345]60).
+
+The Discovery ethernet controller is described with two levels of nodes. The
+first level describes the ethernet controller itself and the second level
+describes up to 3 ethernet port nodes within that controller. The reason for
+the multiple levels is that the port registers are interleaved within a single
+set of controller registers. Each port node describes port-specific properties.
+
+Note: The above separation is only true for Discovery system controllers.
+For Orion SoCs we stick to the separation, although there each controller has
+only one port associated. Multiple ports are implemented as multiple single-port
+controllers. As Kirkwood has some issues with proper initialization after reset,
+an extra compatible string is added for it.
+
+* Ethernet controller node
+
+Required controller properties:
+ - #address-cells: shall be 1.
+ - #size-cells: shall be 0.
+ - compatible: shall be one of "marvell,orion-eth", "marvell,kirkwood-eth".
+ - reg: address and length of the controller registers.
+
+Optional controller properties:
+ - clocks: phandle reference to the controller clock.
+ - marvell,tx-checksum-limit: max tx packet size for hardware checksum.
+
+* Ethernet port node
+
+Required port properties:
+ - device_type: shall be "network".
+ - compatible: shall be one of "marvell,orion-eth-port",
+ "marvell,kirkwood-eth-port".
+ - reg: port number relative to ethernet controller, shall be 0, 1, or 2.
+ - interrupts: port interrupt.
+ - local-mac-address: 6 bytes MAC address.
+
+Optional port properties:
+ - marvell,tx-queue-size: size of the transmit ring buffer.
+ - marvell,tx-sram-addr: address of transmit descriptor buffer located in SRAM.
+ - marvell,tx-sram-size: size of transmit descriptor buffer located in SRAM.
+ - marvell,rx-queue-size: size of the receive ring buffer.
+ - marvell,rx-sram-addr: address of receive descriptor buffer located in SRAM.
+ - marvell,rx-sram-size: size of receive descriptor buffer located in SRAM.
+
+and
+
+ - phy-handle: phandle reference to ethernet PHY.
+
+or
+
+ - speed: port speed if no PHY connected.
+ - duplex: port mode if no PHY connected.
+
+* Node example:
+
+mdio-bus {
+ ...
+ ethphy: ethernet-phy@8 {
+ device_type = "ethernet-phy";
+ ...
+ };

+1.2 Bonding Control Utility
-------------------------------------
- The ifenslave user level control program is included in the
-kernel source tree, in the file Documentation/networking/ifenslave.c.
-It is generally recommended that you use the ifenslave that
-corresponds to the kernel that you are using (either from the same
-source tree or supplied with the distro), however, ifenslave
-executables from older kernels should function (but features newer
-than the ifenslave release are not supported). Running an ifenslave
-that is newer than the kernel is not supported, and may or may not
-work.
-
- To install ifenslave, do the following:
-
-# gcc -Wall -O -I/usr/src/linux/include ifenslave.c -o ifenslave
-# cp ifenslave /sbin/ifenslave
-
- If your kernel source is not in "/usr/src/linux," then replace
-"/usr/src/linux/include" in the above with the location of your kernel
-source include directory.
-
- You may wish to back up any existing /sbin/ifenslave, or, for
-testing or informal use, tag the ifenslave to the kernel version
-(e.g., name the ifenslave executable /sbin/ifenslave-2.6.10).
-
-IMPORTANT NOTE:
-
- If you omit the "-I" or specify an incorrect directory, you
-may end up with an ifenslave that is incompatible with the kernel
-you're trying to build it for. Some distros (e.g., Red Hat from 7.1
-onwards) do not have /usr/include/linux symbolically linked to the
-default kernel source include directory.

-SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE:
- If you plan to configure bonding using sysfs or using the
-/etc/network/interfaces file, you do not need to use ifenslave.

- *
- * Changes :
- * - 2000/10/02 Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org> :
- * - few fixes. Master's MAC address is now correctly taken from
- * the first device when not previously set ;
- * - detach support : call BOND_RELEASE to detach an enslaved interface.
- * - give a mini-howto from command-line help : # ifenslave -h
- *
- * - 2001/02/16 Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org> :
- * - Master is now brought down before setting the MAC address. In
- * the 2.4 kernel you can't change the MAC address while the device is
- * up because you get EBUSY.
- *
- * - 2001/09/13 Takao Indoh <indou dot takao at jp dot fujitsu dot com>
- * - Added the ability to change the active interface on a mode 1 bond
- * at runtime.
- *
- * - 2001/10/23 Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org> :
- * - No longer set the MAC address of the master. The bond device will
- * take care of this itself
- * - Try the SIOC*** versions of the bonding ioctls before using the
- * old versions
- * - 2002/02/18 Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga @ hp dot com> :
- * - ifr2.ifr_flags was not initialized in the hwaddr_notset case,
- * SIOCGIFFLAGS now called before hwaddr_notset test
- *
- * - 2002/10/31 Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com> :
- * - If the master does not have a hardware address when the first slave
- * is enslaved, the master is assigned the hardware address of that
- * slave - there is a comment in bonding.c stating "ifenslave takes
- * care of this now." This corrects the problem of slaves having
- * different hardware addresses in active-backup mode when
- * multiple interfaces are specified on a single ifenslave command
- * (ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1).
- *
- * - 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
- * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- * - Moved setting the slave's mac address and openning it, from
- * the application to the driver. This enables support of modes
- * that need to use the unique mac address of each slave.
- * The driver also takes care of closing the slave and restoring its
- * original mac address upon release.
- * In addition, block possibility of enslaving before the master is up.
- * This prevents putting the system in an undefined state.
- *
- * - 2003/05/01 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- * - Added ABI version control to restore compatibility between
- * new/old ifenslave and new/old bonding.
- * - Prevent adding an adapter that is already a slave.
- * Fixes the problem of stalling the transmission and leaving
- * the slave in a down state.
- *
- * - 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- * - Prevent enslaving if the bond device is down.
- * Fixes the problem of leaving the system in unstable state and
- * halting when trying to remove the module.
- * - Close socket on all abnormal exists.
- * - Add versioning scheme that follows that of the bonding driver.
- * current version is 1.0.0 as a base line.
- *
- * - 2003/05/22 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- * - ifenslave -c was broken; it's now fixed
- * - Fixed problem with routes vanishing from master during enslave
- * processing.
- *
- * - 2003/05/27 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- * - Fix backward compatibility issues:
- * For drivers not using ABI versions, slave was set down while
- * it should be left up before enslaving.
- * Also, master was not set down and the default set_mac_address()
- * would fail and generate an error message in the system log.
- * - For opt_c: slave should not be set to the master's setting
- * while it is running. It was already set during enslave. To
- * simplify things, it is now handled separately.
- *
- * - 2003/12/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- * - Code cleanup and style changes
- * set version to 1.1.0

RPS might be beneficial if the rps_cpus for each queue are the ones that
share the same memory domain as the interrupting CPU for that queue.
+==== RPS Flow Limit
+
+RPS scales kernel receive processing across CPUs without introducing
+reordering. The trade-off to sending all packets from the same flow
+to the same CPU is CPU load imbalance if flows vary in packet rate.
+In the extreme case a single flow dominates traffic. Especially on
+common server workloads with many concurrent connections, such
+behavior indicates a problem such as a misconfiguration or spoofed
+source Denial of Service attack.
+
+Flow Limit is an optional RPS feature that prioritizes small flows
+during CPU contention by dropping packets from large flows slightly
+ahead of those from small flows. It is active only when an RPS or RFS
+destination CPU approaches saturation. Once a CPU's input packet
+queue exceeds half the maximum queue length (as set by sysctl
+net.core.netdev_max_backlog), the kernel starts a per-flow packet
+count over the last 256 packets. If a flow exceeds a set ratio (by
+default, half) of these packets when a new packet arrives, then the
+new packet is dropped. Packets from other flows are still only
+dropped once the input packet queue reaches netdev_max_backlog.
+No packets are dropped when the input packet queue length is below
+the threshold, so flow limit does not sever connections outright:
+even large flows maintain connectivity.
+
+== Interface
+
+Flow limit is compiled in by default (CONFIG_NET_FLOW_LIMIT), but not
+turned on. It is implemented for each CPU independently (to avoid lock
+and cache contention) and toggled per CPU by setting the relevant bit
+in sysctl net.core.flow_limit_cpu_bitmap. It exposes the same CPU
+bitmap interface as rps_cpus (see above) when called from procfs:
+
+ /proc/sys/net/core/flow_limit_cpu_bitmap
+
+Per-flow rate is calculated by hashing each packet into a hashtable
+bucket and incrementing a per-bucket counter. The hash function is
+the same that selects a CPU in RPS, but as the number of buckets can
+be much larger than the number of CPUs, flow limit has finer-grained
+identification of large flows and fewer false positives. The default
+table has 4096 buckets. This value can be modified through sysctl
+
+ net.core.flow_limit_table_len
+
+The value is only consulted when a new table is allocated. Modifying
+it does not update active tables.
+
+== Suggested Configuration
+
+Flow limit is useful on systems with many concurrent connections,
+where a single connection taking up 50% of a CPU indicates a problem.
+In such environments, enable the feature on all CPUs that handle
+network rx interrupts (as set in /proc/irq/N/smp_affinity).
+
+The feature depends on the input packet queue length to exceed
+the flow limit threshold (50%) + the flow history length (256).
+Setting net.core.netdev_max_backlog to either 1000 or 10000
+performed well in experiments.
