2025-01-18mptcp: sysctl: add syn_retrans_before_tcp_fallbackMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)
The number of SYN + MPC retransmissions before falling back to TCP was fixed to 2. This is certainly a good default value, but having a fixed number can be a problem in some environments. The current behaviour means that if all packets are dropped, there will be: - The initial SYN + MPC - 2 retransmissions with MPC - The next ones will be without MPTCP. So typically ~3 seconds before falling back to TCP. In some networks where some temporally blackholes are unfortunately frequent, or when a client tries to initiate connections while the network is not ready yet, this can cause new connections not to have MPTCP connections. In such environments, it is now possible to increase the number of SYN retransmissions with MPTCP options to make sure MPTCP is used. Interesting values are: - 0: the first retransmission will be done without MPTCP options: quite aggressive, but also a higher risk of detecting false-positive MPTCP blackholes. - >= 128: all SYN retransmissions will keep the MPTCP options: back to the < 6.12 behaviour. The default behaviour is not changed here.

2025-01-17net: ethtool: ts: add separate counter for unconfirmed one-step TX timestampsVladimir Oltean
For packets with two-step timestamp requests, the hardware timestamp comes back to the driver through a confirmation mechanism of sorts, which allows the driver to confidently bump the successful "pkts" counter. For one-step PTP, the NIC is supposed to autonomously insert its hardware TX timestamp in the packet headers while simultaneously transmitting it. There may be a confirmation that this was done successfully, or there may not. None of the current drivers which implement ethtool_ops :: get_ts_stats() also support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC or HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC, so it is a bit unclear which model to follow. But there are NICs, such as DSA, where there is no transmit confirmation at all. Here, it would be wrong / misleading to increment the successful "pkts" counter, because one-step PTP packets can be dropped on TX just like any other packets. So introduce a special counter which signifies "yes, an attempt was made, but we don't know whether it also exited the port or not". I expect that for one-step PTP packets where a confirmation is available, the "pkts" counter would be bumped.

2025-01-15net: ethtool: add support for configuring hds-threshTaehee Yoo
The hds-thresh option configures the threshold value of the header-data-split. If a received packet size is larger than this threshold value, a packet will be split into header and payload. The header indicates TCP and UDP header, but it depends on driver spec. The bnxt_en driver supports HDS(Header-Data-Split) configuration at FW level, affecting TCP and UDP too. So, If hds-thresh is set, it affects UDP and TCP packets. Example: # ethtool -G <interface name> hds-thresh <value> # ethtool -G enp14s0f0np0 tcp-data-split on hds-thresh 256 # ethtool -g enp14s0f0np0 Ring parameters for enp14s0f0np0: Pre-set maximums: ... HDS thresh: 1023 Current hardware settings: ... TCP data split: on HDS thresh: 256 The default/min/max values are not defined in the ethtool so the drivers should define themself. The 0 value means that all TCP/UDP packets' header and payload will be split.

2025-01-07i40e: add ability to reset VF for Tx and Rx MDD eventsAleksandr Loktionov
Implement "mdd-auto-reset-vf" priv-flag to handle Tx and Rx MDD events for VFs. This flag is also used in other network adapters like ICE. Usage: - "on" - The problematic VF will be automatically reset if a malformed descriptor is detected. - "off" - The problematic VF will be disabled. In cases where a VF sends malformed packets classified as malicious, it can cause the Tx queue to freeze, rendering it unusable for several minutes. When an MDD event occurs, this new implementation allows for a graceful VF reset to quickly restore operational state. Currently, VF queues are disabled if an MDD event occurs. This patch adds the ability to reset the VF if a Tx or Rx MDD event occurs. It also includes MDD event logging throttling to avoid dmesg pollution and unifies the format of Tx and Rx MDD messages. Note: Standard message rate limiting functions like dev_info_ratelimited() do not meet our requirements. Custom rate limiting is implemented, please see the code for details.

2024-12-11tcp: Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delayJakub Sitnicki
Today we have a hardcoded delay of 1 sec before a TIME-WAIT socket can be reused by reopening a connection. This is a safe choice based on an assumption that the other TCP timestamp clock frequency, which is unknown to us, may be as low as 1 Hz (RFC 7323, section 5.4). However, this means that in the presence of short lived connections with an RTT of couple of milliseconds, the time during which a 4-tuple is blocked from reuse can be orders of magnitude longer that the connection lifetime. Combined with a reduced pool of ephemeral ports, when using IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE to share an egress IP address between hosts [1], the long TIME-WAIT reuse delay can lead to port exhaustion, where all available 4-tuples are tied up in TIME-WAIT state. Turn the reuse delay into a per-netns setting so that sysadmins can make more aggressive assumptions about remote TCP timestamp clock frequency and shorten the delay in order to allow connections to reincarnate faster. Note that applications can completely bypass the TIME-WAIT delay protection already today by locking the local port with bind() before connecting. Such immediate connection reuse may result in PAWS failing to detect old duplicate segments, leaving us with just the sequence number check as a safety net. This new configurable offers a trade off where the sysadmin can balance between the risk of PAWS detection failing to act versus exhausting ports by having sockets tied up in TIME-WAIT state for too long.

E.g., ADB commands: - A_OPEN: OPEN(local-id, 0, "destination") - A_WRTE: WRITE(local-id, remote-id, "data") - A_OKEY: READY(local-id, remote-id, "") - A_CLSE: CLOSE(local-id, remote-id, "") Link: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/modules/adb/+/refs/heads/main/README.md Application can use MIPC (Modem Information Process Center) port to debug antenna tuner or noise profiling through this MTK modem diagnostic interface. By default, debug ports are not exposed, so using the command to enable or disable debug ports.

2024-11-03dim: pass dim_sample to net_dim() by referenceCaleb Sander Mateos
net_dim() is currently passed a struct dim_sample argument by value. struct dim_sample is 24 bytes. Since this is greater 16 bytes, x86-64 passes it on the stack. All callers have already initialized dim_sample on the stack, so passing it by value requires pushing a duplicated copy to the stack. Either witing to the stack and immediately reading it, or perhaps dereferencing addresses relative to the stack pointer in a chain of push instructions, seems to perform quite poorly. In a heavy TCP workload, mlx5e_handle_rx_dim() consumes 3% of CPU time, 94% of which is attributed to the first push instruction to copy dim_sample on the stack for the call to net_dim(): // Call ktime_get() 0.26 |4ead2: call 4ead7 <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x47> // Pass the address of struct dim in %rdi |4ead7: lea 0x3d0(%rbx),%rdi // Set dim_sample.pkt_ctr |4eade: mov %r13d,0x8(%rsp) // Set dim_sample.byte_ctr |4eae3: mov %r12d,0xc(%rsp) // Set dim_sample.event_ctr 0.15 |4eae8: mov %bp,0x10(%rsp) // Duplicate dim_sample on the stack 94.16 |4eaed: push 0x10(%rsp) 2.79 |4eaf1: push 0x10(%rsp) 0.07 |4eaf5: push %rax // Call net_dim() 0.21 |4eaf6: call 4eafb <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x6b> To allow the caller to reuse the struct dim_sample already on the stack, pass the struct dim_sample by reference to net_dim().
