cxgb_busy_poll, corresponding to ndo_busy_poll, gets called by the socket
waiting for data.
With busy_poll enabled, improvement is seen in latency numbers as observed by
collecting netperf TCP_RR numbers.
Below are latency number, with and without busy-poll, in a switched environment
for a particular msg size:
netperf command: netperf -4 -H <ip> -l 30 -t TCP_RR -- -r1,1
Latency without busy-poll: ~16.25 us
Latency with busy-poll : ~08.79 us

Add an optimization for the MS_LAZYTIME mount option so that we will
opportunistically write out any inodes with the I_DIRTY_TIME flag set
in a particular inode table block when we need to update some inode in
that inode table block anyway.
Also add some temporary code so that we can set the lazytime mount
option without needing a modified /sbin/mount program which can set
MS_LAZYTIME. We can eventually make this go away once util-linux has
added support.

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.
This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.
For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

I noticed some CLOCK_TAI timer test failures on one of my
less-frequently used configurations. And after digging in I
found in 76f4108892d9 (Cleanup hrtimer accessors to the
timekepeing state), the hrtimer_get_softirq_time tai offset
calucation was incorrectly rewritten, as the tai offset we
return shold be from CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and not CLOCK_REALTIME.
This results in CLOCK_TAI timers expiring early on non-highres
capable machines.
This patch fixes the issue, calculating the tai time properly
from the monotonic base.

When using FIFO, we need to support differents data width in a single
transfer. For example, serial device which usually uses 1-byte data
width will use 4-bytes data width when using the FIFO. If the transfer
size is not aligned on 4-bytes then the end of the transfer will be
performed with 1-byte data-width. For that reason,
at_xdmac_prep_slave_sg() now builds linked list descriptors using view 2
instead of view 1 so each of them can update the DWIDTH field into the
Channel Configuration Register.

This patch simplifies the channel configuration register management.
Relying on a "software snapshot" of the configuration is not safe and
too complex.
Multiple dwidths will be introduced for slave transfers. In this case,
it becomes quite difficult to have an accurate snapshot of the channel
configuration register in the way it is done. Using the channel
configuration available in the lli descriptor simplifies this stuff.

FQ has a fast path for skb attached to a socket, as it does not
have to compute a flow hash. But for other packets, FQ being non
stochastic means that hosts exposed to random Internet traffic
can allocate million of flows structure (104 bytes each) pretty
easily. Not only host can OOM, but lookup in RB trees can take
too much cpu and memory resources.
This patch adds a new attribute, orphan_mask, that is adding
possibility of having a stochastic hash for orphaned skb.
Its default value is 1024 slots, to mimic SFQ behavior.
Note: This does not apply to locally generated TCP traffic,
and no locally generated traffic will share a flow structure
with another perfect or stochastic flow.
This patch also handles the specific case of SYNACK messages:
They are attached to the listener socket, and therefore all map
to a single hash bucket. If listener have set SO_MAX_PACING_RATE,
hoping to have new accepted socket inherit this rate, SYNACK
might be paced and even dropped.
This is very similar to an internal patch Google have used more
than one year.

When we added pacing to TCP, we decided to let sch_fq take care
of actual pacing.
All TCP had to do was to compute sk->pacing_rate using simple formula:
sk->pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / rtt
It works well for senders (bulk flows), but not very well for receivers
or even RPC :
cwnd on the receiver can be less than 10, rtt can be around 100ms, so we
can end up pacing ACK packets, slowing down the sender.
Really, only the sender should pace, according to its own logic.
Instead of adding a new bit in skb, or call yet another flow
dissection, we tweak skb->truesize to a small value (2), and
we instruct sch_fq to use new helper and not pace pure ack.
Note this also helps TCP small queue, as ack packets present
in qdisc/NIC do not prevent sending a data packet (RPC workload)
This helps to reduce tx completion overhead, ack packets can use regular
sock_wfree() instead of tcp_wfree() which is a bit more expensive.
This has no impact in the case packets are sent to loopback interface,
as we do not coalesce ack packets (were we would detect skb->truesize
lie)
In case netem (with a delay) is used, skb_orphan_partial() also sets
skb->truesize to 1.
This patch is a combination of two patches we used for about one year at
Google.

It does so by using the rhashtable iterator primitives.
Note that I'm leaving nft_hash_destroy alone since it's only

Some existing rhashtable users get too intimate with it by walking
the buckets directly. This prevents us from easily changing the
internals of rhashtable.
This patch adds the helpers rhashtable_walk_init/exit/start/next/stop
which will replace these custom walkers.
They are meant to be usable for both procfs seq_file walks as well
as walking by a netlink dump. The iterator structure should fit
inside a netlink dump cb structure, with at least one element to
spare.

The commit [8975626ea35a: drm/cirrus: allow 32bpp framebuffers for
cirrus drm] broke X modesetting driver because cirrus driver still
provides the full list of modes up to 1280x1024 while the 32bpp can
support only up to 800x600.
We might be able to filter out the invalid modes in mode_valid
callback, but unfortunately the bpp in question can't be referred
there for now (let me know if there is a better way to retrieve the
bpp for the probed fb).
So, instead, this patch adds the bpp module option to specify the
maximal bpp explicitly and limits the resolutions in get_modes
depending on its value.
The default value is set to 24 so that the existing stuff keeps
working. If you need a new 32bpp feature, specify cirrus.bpp=32
option explicitly.

This patch improves memory utilization and therefore the packets rate
for special MTU's. Instead of setting the frag_stride to the maximal
hard coded frag_size, use the actual frag_size that is set according to
the MTU, when setting the stride of the last frag.
So, for example, for MTU 1600, where the frag_size of the 2nd frag is
86, the frag_size is set to 128 instead of 4096. See below:
Before:
frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536
frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:4096
frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21
frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:8
After:
frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536
frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:128

====================
Add HA and LAG support to mlx4 RoCE and SRIOV services
This series takes advanges of bonding mlx4 Ethernet devices to support
a model of High-Availability and Link Aggregation for more environments.
The mlx4 driver reacts on netdev events generated by bonding when
slave state changes happen by programming a HW V2P (Virt-to-Phys)
port table. Bonding was extended to expose these state changes
through netdev events.
When an mlx4 interface such as the mlx4 IB/RoCE driver is subject to
this policy, QPs are created over virtual ports which are mapped
to one of the two physical ports. When a failure happens, the
re-programming of the V2P table allows traffic to keep flowing.
The mlx4 Ethernet driver interfaces are not subject to this
policy and act as usual.
A 2nd use-case for this model would be to add HA and Link Aggregation
support to single ported mlx4 Ethernet VFs. In this case, the PF Ethernet
intrfaces are bonded, all the VFs see single port devices (which is
supported already today), and VF QPs are subject to V2P.

exposes a single port to upper layers. Therefore, applications always
set '1' in port_num attribute when modifying a QP or creating an address handle.
To make sure that a node uses all available ports the mlx4 driver will
override the port_num attribute with a round robin policy.
