2014-01-08batman-adv: mark a local client as isolated when neededAntonio Quartulli
A client sending packets which mark matches the value configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag. The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the mask are compared with those in the mark value. If the configured mask is equal to 0 no operation is performed. Such flag is then advertised within the classic client announcement mechanism. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
2014-01-08batman-adv: add isolation_mark sysfs attributeAntonio Quartulli
This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb. This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter policies. This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask". Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while $mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.

2014-01-08batman-adv: send every DHCP packet as bat-unicastAntonio Quartulli
In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP Discover/Requests to the "best" server. On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts, but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as well. This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they were generated by a DHCP server or client.

The function batadv_gw_deselect() is actually not deselecting anything. It is just informing the GW code to perform a re-election procedure when possible.

When switching from gw_mode client to either off or server the current selected gateway has to be deselected.

2014-01-07tipc: make link start event synchronousJon Paul Maloy
When a link is created we delay the start event by launching it to be executed later in a tasklet. As we hold all the necessary locks at the moment of creation, and there is no risk of deadlock or contention, this delay serves no purpose in the current code. We remove this obsolete indirection step, and the associated function link_start(). At the same time, we rename the function tipc_link_stop() to the more appropriate tipc_link_purge_queues().

2014-01-07tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect struct link_reqYing Xue
Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields 'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the critical region: link_activate() tipc_bearer_add_dest() tipc_disc_add_dest() req->num_nodes++; tipc_link_reset() tipc_bearer_remove_dest() tipc_disc_remove_dest() req->num_nodes-- disc_update() read req->num_nodes write req->timer_intv disc_timeout() read req->num_nodes read/write req->timer_intv Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects. This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

2014-01-07tipc: remove 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE link protocol messagesJon Paul Maloy
The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node may still think it has one. The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare. This bug seems to have always been present in the code. Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223f17790419b03eaa962b0e3ecf930d7 ("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"), the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts. We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages, as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

2014-01-07net-gre-gro: Add GRE support to the GRO stackJerry Chu
This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8370a93dd5d8e8d800f0dff1ce2c53d36 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation protocols in the GRO stack in the future. The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path, thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly. Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/ ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE. The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when validating the GRE csum. Note that commit 60769a5dcd8755715c7143b4571d5c44f01796f1 "ipv4: gre: add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible. Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS). In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal. I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning will be needed to decide the best setting. All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs. (super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30) An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123) is configured. The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off). 1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 9.16Gbps CPU utilization: 19% 1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 5.9Gbps CPU utilization: 15% 1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 12-13% 1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 10% The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of csum offload.

All numbers report the mean±stddev over 10 runs of 10s. 1) latency tests similar to what is described in "c6e1a0d net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit" There is no statistically significant difference between tx-nocache-copy on/off. nic irqs spread out (one queue per cpu) 200x netperf -r 1400,1 tx-nocache-copy off 692000±1000 tps 50/90/95/99% latency (us): 275±2/643.8±0.4/799±1/2474.4±0.3 tx-nocache-copy on 693000±1000 tps 50/90/95/99% latency (us): 274±1/644.1±0.7/800±2/2474.5±0.7 200x netperf -r 14000,14000 tx-nocache-copy off 86450±80 tps 50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.37±0.02/838±1/2100±20/3990±40 tx-nocache-copy on 86110±60 tps 50/90/95/99% latency (us): 334.28±0.01/837±2/2110±20/3990±20 2) single stream throughput tests tx-nocache-copy leads to higher service demand throughput cpu0 cpu1 demand (Gb/s) (Gcycle) (Gcycle) (cycle/B) nic irqs and netperf on cpu0 (1x netperf -T0,0 -t omni -- -d send) tx-nocache-copy off 9402±5 9.4±0.2 0.80±0.01 tx-nocache-copy on 9403±3 9.85±0.04 0.838±0.004 nic irqs on cpu0, netperf on cpu1 (1x netperf -T1,1 -t omni -- -d send) tx-nocache-copy off 9401±5 5.83±0.03 5.0±0.1 0.923±0.007 tx-nocache-copy on 9404±2 5.74±0.03 5.523±0.009 0.958±0.002 As a second example, here are some results from Eric Dumazet with latest net-next. tx-nocache-copy also leads to higher service demand (cpu is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz) lpq83:~# ./ethtool -K eth0 tx-nocache-copy on lpq83:~# perf stat ./netperf -H lpq84 -c MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to lpq84.prod.google.com () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % U us/KB us/KB 87380 16384 16384 10.00 9407.44 2.50 -1.00 0.522 -1.000 Performance counter stats for './netperf -H lpq84 -c': 4282.648396 task-clock # 0.423 CPUs utilized 9,348 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec 88 CPU-migrations # 0.021 K/sec 355 page-faults # 0.083 K/sec 11,812,797,651 cycles # 2.758 GHz [82.79%] 9,020,522,817 stalled-cycles-frontend # 76.36% frontend cycles idle [82.54%] 4,579,889,681 stalled-cycles-backend # 38.77% backend cycles idle [67.33%] 6,053,172,792 instructions # 0.51 insns per cycle # 1.49 stalled cycles per insn [83.64%] 597,275,583 branches # 139.464 M/sec [83.70%] 8,960,541 branch-misses # 1.50% of all branches [83.65%] 10.128990264 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# ./ethtool -K eth0 tx-nocache-copy off lpq83:~# perf stat ./netperf -H lpq84 -c MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to lpq84.prod.google.com () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % U us/KB us/KB 87380 16384 16384 10.00 9412.45 2.15 -1.00 0.449 -1.000 Performance counter stats for './netperf -H lpq84 -c': 2847.375441 task-clock # 0.281 CPUs utilized 11,632 context-switches # 0.004 M/sec 49 CPU-migrations # 0.017 K/sec 354 page-faults # 0.124 K/sec 7,646,889,749 cycles # 2.686 GHz [83.34%] 6,115,050,032 stalled-cycles-frontend # 79.97% frontend cycles idle [83.31%] 1,726,460,071 stalled-cycles-backend # 22.58% backend cycles idle [66.55%] 2,079,702,453 instructions # 0.27 insns per cycle # 2.94 stalled cycles per insn [83.22%] 363,773,213 branches # 127.757 M/sec [83.29%] 4,242,732 branch-misses # 1.17% of all branches [83.51%] 10.128449949 seconds time elapsed CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
