====================
mpls: Packet stats
This patchset records per-interface packet stats in the MPLS
forwarding path and exports them using a nest of attributes root at a
new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute as part of RTM_GETSTATS messages:
The first patch adds the rtnl infrastructure for this, including a new
callbacks to per-AF ops of fill_stats_af and get_stats_af_size. The
second patch records MPLS stats and makes use of the infrastructure to
export them. The rtnl infrastructure could also be used to export IPv6
stats in the future.

mpls: Packet stats
Having MPLS packet stats is useful for observing network operation and
for diagnosing network problems. In the absence of anything better,
RFC2863 and RFC3813 are used for guidance for which stats to expose
and the semantics of them. In particular rx_noroutes maps to in
unknown protos in RFC2863. The stats are exposed to userspace via
AF_MPLS attributes embedded in the IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute of
RTM_GETSTATS messages.
All the introduced fields are 64-bit, even error ones, to ensure no
overflow with long uptimes. Per-CPU counters are used to avoid
cache-line contention on the commonly used fields. The other fields
have also been made per-CPU for code to avoid performance problems in
error conditions on the assumption that on some platforms the cost of
atomic operations could be more expensive than sending the packet
(which is what would be done in the success case). If that's not the
case, we could instead not use per-CPU counters for these fields.
Only unicast and non-fragment are exposed at the moment, but other
counters can be exposed in the future either by adding to the end of
struct mpls_link_stats or by additional netlink attributes in the
AF_MPLS IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC nested attribute.

net: AF-specific RTM_GETSTATS attributes
Add the functionality for including address-family-specific per-link
stats in RTM_GETSTATS messages. This is done through adding a new
IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute under which address family attributes are
nested and then the AF-specific attributes can be further nested. This
follows the model of IFLA_AF_SPEC on RTM_*LINK messages and it has the
advantage of presenting an easily extended hierarchy. The rtnl_af_ops
structure is extended to provide AFs with the opportunity to fill and
provide the size of their stats attributes.
One alternative would have been to provide AFs with the ability to add
attributes directly into the RTM_GETSTATS message without a nested
hierarchy. I discounted this approach as it increases the rate at
which the 32 attribute number space is used up and it makes
implementation a little more tricky for stats dump resuming (at the
moment the order in which attributes are added to the message has to
match the numeric order of the attributes).
Another alternative would have been to register per-AF RTM_GETSTATS
handlers. I discounted this approach as I perceived a common use-case
to be getting all the stats for an interface and this approach would
necessitate multiple requests/dumps to retrieve them all.

net: mvneta: add BQL support
Tests showed that when whole bandwidth is consumed, the latency for
various kind of traffic can reach high values. With saturated
link (e.g. with iperf from target to host) simple ping could take
significant amount of time. BQL proved to improve this situation
when implemented in mvneta driver. Measurements of ping latency
for 3 link speeds:
Speed | Latency w/o BQL | Latency with BQL
10 | 7-14 ms | 3.5 ms
100 | 2-12 ms | 0.6 ms
1000 | often timeout | up to 2ms
Decreasing latency as above result in sligt performance cost - 4kpps
(-1.4%) when pushing 64B packets via two bridged interfaces of Armada 38x.
For 1500B packets in the same setup, the mpstat tool showed +8% of

cost seems reasonable to take, considering other improvements.

In function mlx4_cq_completion() and mlx4_cq_event(), the
radix_tree_lookup requires a rcu_read_lock.
This is mandatory: if another core frees the CQ, it could
run the radix_tree_node_rcu_free() call_rcu() callback while
its being used by the radix tree lookup function.
Additionally, in function mlx4_cq_event(), since we are adding
the rcu lock around the radix-tree lookup, we no longer need to take
the spinlock. Also, the synchronize_irq() call for the async event
eliminates the need for incrementing the cq reference count in
mlx4_cq_event().
Other changes:
1. In function mlx4_cq_free(), replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock:
we no longer take this spinlock in the interrupt context.
The spinlock here, therefore, simply protects against different
threads simultaneously invoking mlx4_cq_free() for different cq's.
2. In function mlx4_cq_free(), we move the radix tree delete to before
the synchronize_irq() calls. This guarantees that we will not
access this cq during any subsequent interrupts, and therefore can
safely free the CQ after the synchronize_irq calls. The rcu_read_lock
in the interrupt handlers only needs to protect against corrupting the
radix tree; the interrupt handlers may access the cq outside the
rcu_read_lock due to the synchronize_irq calls which protect against
premature freeing of the cq.
3. In function mlx4_cq_event(), we change the mlx_warn message to mlx4_dbg.
4. We leave the cq reference count mechanism in place, because it is
still needed for the cq completion tasklet mechanism.

The problem being gcc cannot tell that if(IS_ERR()) in
mlx5e_route_lookup_ipv4() is equivalent to checking if(err) later,
so it assumes that 'out_dev' is used after the 'return PTR_ERR(rt)'.
The PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() case by comparison is fairly easy to detect
by gcc, so it can't get that wrong, so it no longer warns.
Hadar Hen Zion already attempted to fix the warning earlier by adding fake
initializations, but that ended up not fully addressing all warnings, so
I'm reverting it now that it is no longer needed.

bpf, trace: make ctx access checks more robust
Make sure that ctx cannot potentially be accessed oob by asserting
explicitly that ctx access size into pt_regs for BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE
programs must be within limits. In case some 32bit archs have pt_regs
not being a multiple of 8, then BPF_DW access could cause such access.
BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE progs don't have a ctx conversion function since
there's no extra mapping needed. kprobe_prog_is_valid_access() didn't
enforce sizeof(long) as the only allowed access size, since LLVM can
generate non BPF_W/BPF_DW access to regs from time to time.
For BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT we don't have a ctx conversion either, so
add a BUILD_BUG_ON() check to make sure that BPF_DW access will not be
a similar issue in future (ctx works on event buffer as opposed to
pt_regs there).

In the last patch da36e13cf65 ("ipvlan: improvise dev_id generation

are the last n bits from the bitmap. So in this scenario even if lower

bpf: rework prog_digest into prog_tag
Commit 7bd509e311f4 ("bpf: add prog_digest and expose it via
fdinfo/netlink") was recently discussed, partially due to
admittedly suboptimal name of "prog_digest" in combination
with sha1 hash usage, thus inevitably and rightfully concerns
about its security in terms of collision resistance were
raised with regards to use-cases.
The intended use cases are for debugging resp. introspection
only for providing a stable "tag" over the instruction sequence
that both kernel and user space can calculate independently.
It's not usable at all for making a security relevant decision.
So collisions where two different instruction sequences generate
the same tag can happen, but ideally at a rather low rate. The
"tag" will be dumped in hex and is short enough to introspect
in tracepoints or kallsyms output along with other data such
as stack trace, etc. Thus, this patch performs a rename into
prog_tag and truncates the tag to a short output (64 bits) to
make it obvious it's not collision-free.
Should in future a hash or facility be needed with a security
relevant focus, then we can think about requirements, constraints,
etc that would fit to that situation. For now, rework the exposed
parts for the current use cases as long as nothing has been
released yet. Tested on x86_64 and s390x.

If an option descriptor has been sent on a queue but not followed by a
packet, there will have been no completion event, so the read and write
counts won't match and we'll think we can't do PIO. This combines with
the fact that we have two TX queues (for en/disable checksum offload),
and that both must be empty for PIO to happen.
This patch adds a separate "packet_write_count" that tracks the most
recent write_count we expect to see a completion event for; this excludes
option descriptors but _includes_ PIO descriptors (even though they look
like option descriptors). This is then used, rather than write_count,
in efx_nic_tx_is_empty().
We only bother to maintain packet_write_count on EF10, since on Siena
(a) there are no option descriptors and it always equals write_count, and
(b) there's no PIO, so we don't need it anyway.

be2net: fix MAC addr setting on privileged BE3 VFs
During interface opening MAC address stored in netdev->dev_addr is
programmed in the HW with exception of BE3 VFs where the initial
MAC is programmed by parent PF. This is OK when MAC address is not
changed when an interfaces is down. In this case the requested MAC is
stored to netdev->dev_addr and later is stored into HW during opening.
But this is not done for all BE3 VFs so the NIC HW does not know
anything about this change and all traffic is filtered.
This is the case of bonding if fail_over_mac == 0 where the MACs of
the slaves are changed while they are down.
The be2net behavior is too restrictive because if a BE3 VF has
the FILTMGMT privilege then it is able to modify its MAC without
any restriction.
To solve the described problem the driver should take care about these
privileged BE3 VFs so the MAC is programmed during opening. And by
contrast unpriviled BE3 VFs should not be allowed to change its MAC
in any case.

one step to far, regarding changing the host's timing before polling for a
busy card.
To fix this, let's move back to the behaviour when the host's timing is
updated after the polling, but before the switch status is fetched and
validated.
In cases when polling with CMD13, we keep validating the switch status at
each attempt. However, to align with the other card busy detections
mechanism, let's fetch and validate the switch status also after the host's
timing is updated.

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race

calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group

... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx
relation can have changed under us.
That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
established locking rules correctly.
So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).
Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug
There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on
an offline CPU.
Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a
blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on
wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available
CPU.
If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until
either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task
waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck.
While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we
hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of
being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI,
but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on
the new CPU, things also go sideways.
Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which
is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to
install the first event into our task 't':
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
(current == t)
t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx;
smp_mb();
cpu = task_cpu(t);
switch(t, n);
migrate(t, 2);
switch(p, t);
ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL
smp_function_call(cpu, ..);
generic_exec_single()
func();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
if (task_curr(t)) // false
add_event_to_ctx();
spin_unlock(ctx->lock);
perf_event_context_sched_in();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
// sees event
So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'.
Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would
not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its
counter, which would be 'bad'.
As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it
first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr()
and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on
sched-in and all is well.
I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL')
of the scenario to a litmus test like:
Where:
x is perf_event_ctxp[],
y is our tasks's CPU, and
z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2.
The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to
perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu()
in task_function_call().
The smp_store_release/smp_load_acquire model the RCpc locking of the
rq->lock and the smp_mb() of P2 is the context switch switching from
whatever CPU2 was running to our task 't'.

====================
tcp: RACK fast recovery
The patch set enables RACK loss detection (draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01)
to trigger fast recovery with a reordering timer.
Previously RACK has been running in auxiliary mode where it is
used to detect packet losses once the recovery has triggered by
other algorithms (e.g., FACK). By inspecting packet timestamps,
RACK can start ACK-driven repairs timely. A few similar heuristics
are no longer needed and are either removed or disabled to reduce
the complexity of the Linux TCP loss recovery engine:
1. FACK (Forward Acknowledgement)
2. Early Retransmit (RFC5827)
3. thin_dupack (fast recovery on single DUPACK for thin-streams)
4. NCR (Non-Congestion Robustness RFC4653) (RFC4653)
5. Forward Retransmit
After this change, Linux's loss recovery algorithms consist of
1. Conventional DUPACK threshold approach (RFC6675)
2. RACK and Tail Loss Probe (draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01)
3. RTO plus F-RTO extension (RFC5682)
The patch set has been tested on Google servers extensively and
presented in several IETF meetings. The data suggests that RACK
successfully improves recovery performance:

tcp: disable fack by default
This patch disables FACK by default as RACK is the successor of FACK
(inspired by the insights behind FACK).
FACK[1] in Linux works as follows: a packet P is deemed lost,
if packet Q of higher sequence is s/acked and P and Q are distant
by at least dupthresh number of packets in sequence space.
FACK is more aggressive than the IETF recommened recovery for SACK
(RFC3517 A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss
Recovery Algorithm for TCP), because a single SACK may trigger
fast recovery. This obviously won't work well with reordering so
FACK is dynamically disabled upon detecting reordering.
RACK supersedes FACK by using time distance instead of sequence
distance. On reordering, RACK waits for a quarter of RTT receiving
a single SACK before starting recovery. (the timer can be made more
adaptive in the future by measuring reordering distance in time,
but currently RTT/4 seem to work well.) Once the recovery starts,
RACK behaves almost like FACK because it reduces the reodering
window to 1ms, so it fast retransmits quickly. In addition RACK
can detect loss retransmission as it does not care about the packet
sequences (being repeated or not), which is extremely useful when
the connection is going through a traffic policer.
Google server experiments indicate that disabling FACK after enabling
RACK has negligible impact on the overall loss recovery performance
with more reordering events detected. But we still keep the FACK
implementation for backup if RACK has bugs that needs to be disabled.

tcp: remove thin_dupack feature
Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight). But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.
The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

tcp: remove RFC4653 NCR
This patch removes the (partial) implementation of the aggressive
limited transmit in RFC4653 TCP Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR).
NCR is a mitigation to the problem created by the dynamic
DUPACK threshold. With the current adaptive DUPACK threshold
(tp->reordering) could cause timeouts by preventing fast recovery.
For example, if the last packet of a cwnd burst was reordered, the
threshold will be set to the size of cwnd. But if next application
burst is smaller than threshold and has drops instead of reorderings,
the sender would not trigger fast recovery but instead resorts to a
timeout recovery.
NCR mitigates this issue by checking the number of DUPACKs against
the current flight size additionally. The techniqueue is similar to
the early retransmit RFC.
With RACK loss detection, this mitigation is not needed, because RACK
does not use DUPACK threshold to detect losses. RACK arms a reordering
timer to fire at most a quarter RTT later to start fast recovery.

tcp: remove early retransmit
This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.
