The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:
1) Cascading:
Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
real timers to measure time.)
2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:
In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
when we should wake up as fast as possible.
After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
modified to address the above issues.
The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.
The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:
1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry
2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
set_timer_slack() API.
So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.
To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
locality for the networking code as well.
Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.
So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:
Level Offset Granularity Range
0 0 4 ms 0 ms - 252 ms
1 64 32 ms 256 ms - 2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
2 128 256 ms 2048 ms - 16380 ms (~2s - ~16s)
3 192 2048 ms (~2s) 16384 ms - 131068 ms (~16s - ~2m)
4 256 16384 ms (~16s) 131072 ms - 1048572 ms (~2m - ~17m)
5 320 131072 ms (~2m) 1048576 ms - 8388604 ms (~17m - ~2h)
6 384 1048576 ms (~17m) 8388608 ms - 67108863 ms (~2h - ~18h)
7 448 8388608 ms (~2h) 67108864 ms - 536870911 ms (~18h - ~6d)
That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
beginning of a level.
So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:
1) Cascading is avoided completely
2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).
A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
provide natural batching already.
Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.
This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
optimizations are in follow up patches.
This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.
Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().
The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
timer->flags.
This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
recognize the flag.
This patch:
- Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
methods
- makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,
- and adds some migration helper facility to allow
step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
pinned timers.

With the inclusion of atomic FETCH-OP variants, many places in the
kernel can make use of atomic_fetch_$op() to avoid the callers that
need to compute the value/state _before_ the operation.
Peter Zijlstra laid out the machinery but we are still missing the
simpler dec,inc() calls (which future patches will make use of).
This patch only deals with the generic code, as at least right now
no arch actually implement them -- which is similar to what the
OP-RETURN primitives currently do.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next,

1) Don't use userspace datatypes in bridge netfilter code, from
Tobin Harding.
2) Iterate only once over the expectation table when removing the
helper module, instead of once per-netns, from Florian Westphal.
3) Extra sanitization in xt_hook_ops_alloc() to return error in case
we ever pass zero hooks, xt_hook_ops_alloc():
4) Handle NFPROTO_INET from the logging core infrastructure, from
Liping Zhang.
5) Autoload loggers when TRACE target is used from rules, this doesn't
change the behaviour in case the user already selected nfnetlink_log
as preferred way to print tracing logs, also from Liping Zhang.
6) Conntrack slabs with SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN to allow rearranging fields
by cache lines, increases the size of entries in 11% per entry.
From Florian Westphal.
7) Skip zone comparison if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES=n, from Florian.
8) Remove useless defensive check in nf_logger_find_get() from Shivani
Bhardwaj.
9) Remove zone extension as place it in the conntrack object, this is
always include in the hashing and we expect more intensive use of
zones since containers are in place. Also from Florian Westphal.
10) Owner match now works from any namespace, from Eric Bierdeman.
11) Make sure we only reply with TCP reset to TCP traffic from
nf_reject_ipv4, patch from Liping Zhang.
12) Introduce --nflog-size to indicate amount of network packet bytes
that are copied to userspace via log message, from Vishwanath Pai.
This obsoletes --nflog-range that has never worked, it was designed
to achieve this but it has never worked.
13) Introduce generic macros for nf_tables object generation masks.
14) Use generation mask in table, chain and set objects in nf_tables.
This allows fixes interferences with ongoing preparation phase of
the commit protocol and object listings going on at the same time.
This update is introduced in three patches, one per object.
15) Check if the object is active in the next generation for element
deactivation in the rbtree implementation, given that deactivation
happens from the commit phase path we have to observe the future
status of the object.
16) Support for deletion of just added elements in the hash set type.
17) Allow to resize hashtable from /proc entry, not only from the
obscure /sys entry that maps to the module parameter, from Florian
Westphal.
18) Get rid of NFT_BASECHAIN_DISABLED, this code is not exercised
anymore since we tear down the ruleset whenever the netdevice
goes away.
19) Support for matching inverted set lookups, from Arturo Borrero.
20) Simplify the iptables_mangle_hook() by removing a superfluous
extra branch.
21) Introduce ether_addr_equal_masked() and use it from the netfilter
codebase, from Joe Perches.
22) Remove references to "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key"
from the Netfilter Kconfig description given that this toggle
doesn't exists already for 10 years, from Moritz Sichert.
23) Introduce generic NF_INVF() and use it from the xtables codebase,
from Joe Perches.
24) Setting logger to NONE via /proc was not working unless explicit
nul-termination was included in the string. This fixes seems to
leave the former behaviour there, so we don't break backward.

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.
In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.
Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

Data structures that are used both with and without RCU protection
are difficult to write in a sparse-clean manner. If you mark the
relevant pointers with __rcu, sparse will complain about all non-RCU
uses, but if you don't mark those pointers, sparse will complain about
all RCU uses.
This commit therefore suppresses sparse warnings for rcu_dereference_raw(),
allowing mixed-protection data structures to avoid these warnings.

HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_IRQ
This new delivery type which is for ARM shares the same value with
HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR which is for x86.
val[15:8] is flag: val[7:0] is a PPI.
To the flag, bit 8 stands the interrupt mode is edge(1) or level(0) and
bit 9 stands the interrupt polarity is active low(1) or high(0).

The NVMe over Fabrics specification defines a protocol interface and
related extensions to NVMe that enable operation over network protocols.
The NVMe over Fabrics specification has an NVMe Transport binding for
each NVMe Transport.
This patch adds the fabrics related definitions:
- fabric specific command set and error codes
- transport addressing and binding definitions
- fabrics sgl extensions
- controller identification fabrics enhancements
- discovery log page definition

When the data plane is offloaded the traffic doesn't go through the
networking stack. Therefore, after first resolving a neighbour the NUD
state machine will transition it from REACHABLE to STALE until it's
finally deleted by the garbage collector.
To prevent such situations the offloading driver should notify the NUD
state machine on any neighbours that were recently used. The driver's
polling interval should be set so that the NUD state machine can
function as if the traffic wasn't offloaded.
Currently, there are no in-tree drivers that can report confirmation for
a neighbour, but only 'used' indication. Therefore, the polling interval
should be set according to DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, as a neighbour will
transition from REACHABLE state to DELAY (instead of STALE) if "a packet
was sent within the last DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME seconds" (RFC 4861).
Send a netevent whenever the DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME changes - either via
netlink or sysctl - so that offloading drivers can correctly set their
polling interval.

- Cleanup work by Markus Pargmann and Sven Eckelmann (six patches)
- Initial Netlink support by Matthias Schiffer (two patches)
- Throughput Meter implementation by Antonio Quartulli, a kernel-space
traffic generator to estimate link speeds. This feature is useful on
low-end WiFi APs where running iperf or netperf from userspace
gives wrong results due to heavy userspace/kernelspace overhead.

If skb_clear_hash() was invoked due to mangling of relevant headers and
BPF program needs skb->hash later on, we can add a helper to trigger hash
recalculation via bpf_get_hash_recalc().
The helper will return the newly retrieved hash directly, but later access
can also be done via skb context again through skb->hash directly (inline)
without needing to call the helper once more.

Extremely useful for setting packet type to host so i dont
have to modify the dst mac address using pedit (which requires
that i know the mac address)
Example usage:
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 9 u32 \
match ip src 5.5.5.5/32 \
flowid 1:5 action skbedit ptype host
This will tag all packets incoming from 5.5.5.5 with type
PACKET_HOST

The initial use for this is for PHYs that have a mode related to USB OTG.
There are several SoCs (e.g. TI OMAP and DA8xx) that have a mode setting
in the USB PHY to override OTG VBUS and ID signals.
Of course, the enum can be expaned in the future to include modes for
other types of PHYs as well.

The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.
It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.
The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.
