As specified in the datasheet, the driver can set the "L4Chk_Mode" flag
(bit 10) in the Tx descriptor command/status to specify that a frame is not
IP fragmented and that the controller is in charge of generating the TCP/IP
checksum. This must be used together with the "GL4chk" flag (bit 17).
These two flags allow to avoid setting the initial TCP checksum in the l4i_chk
field of the Tx descriptor, which is needed to support software TSO.

Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:
1) Add set element update notification via netlink, from Arturo Borrero.
2) Put all object updates in one single message batch that is sent to
kernel-space. Before this patch only rules where included in the batch.
This series also introduces the generic transaction infrastructure so
updates to all objects (tables, chains, rules and sets) are applied in
an all-or-nothing fashion, these series from me.
3) Defer release of objects via call_rcu to reduce the time required to
commit changes. The assumption is that all objects are destroyed in
reverse order to ensure that dependencies betweem them are fulfilled
(ie. rules and sets are destroyed first, then chains, and finally
tables).
4) Allow to match by bridge port name, from Tomasz Bursztyka. This series
include two patches to prepare this new feature.
5) Implement the proper set selection based on the characteristics of the
data. The new infrastructure also allows you to specify your preferences
in terms of memory and computational complexity so the underlying set
type is also selected according to your needs, from Patrick McHardy.
6) Several cleanup patches for nft expressions, including one minor possible
compilation breakage due to missing mark support, also from Patrick.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Shannon makes minor changes to the AdminQ interface to bring it up to
date. Removes the hard coding of stats struct size in ethtool, in prep
for adding data fields which are configuration dependent.
Catherine removes some unused and unneeded PCI bus defines.
Jesse fixes the copyright headers and finishes up the removal of the PTP
Tx work functionality which allows us to rely on the Tx timesync interrupt.
Mitch provides a number of fixes and cleanups for i40e/i40evf based on
suggestions from Ben Hutchings. First is to use a macro parameter for
ethtool stats instead of just assuming that a valid netdev variable
exists. Second is not to tell ethtool that the VF can do 10GbaseT, when
it really has no idea what its link speed is, so set the supported value
to 0 instead. Make the ethtool_ops structure constant since it is
extremely unlikely to change at runtime. Ethtool consistently reports
0 values for our ITR settings because we never actually use them, so
fix this by setting the default values to the specified default values.
Greg avoids a compile error by wrapping the call to i40e_alloc_vfs() in
CONFIG_PCI_IOV because the function itself is wrapped in the same
conditional compile block.
Alexander Gordeev updates the driver to use the new pci_enable_msi_range()
and pci_enable_msix_range() or pci_enable_msi_exact() and
pci_enable_msix_exact().
Jean Sacren provides a fix where the wrong error code was being passed to

Experience with the recent e114a710aa ("tcp: fix cwnd limited
checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are
common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than
necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too
large, among other things.
The main problems seemed to be:
(1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the
connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit
sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding
packets.
(2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of
outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not
needed).
This commit improves both of these, by:
(1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly
track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window
("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the
moment we finished sending that flight.
(2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding
packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance
mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.

Kernel API for classic BPF socket filters is:
sk_unattached_filter_create() - validate classic BPF, convert, JIT
SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it
sk_unattached_filter_destroy() - destroy socket filter
Cleanup internal BPF kernel API as following:
sk_filter_select_runtime() - final step of internal BPF creation.
Try to JIT internal BPF program, if JIT is not available select interpreter
SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it
sk_filter_free() - free internal BPF program
Disallow direct calls to BPF interpreter. Execution of the BPF program should
be done with SK_RUN_FILTER() macro.
Example of internal BPF create, run, destroy:
struct sk_filter *fp;
fp = kzalloc(sk_filter_size(prog_len), GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(fp->insni, prog, prog_len * sizeof(fp->insni[0]));
fp->len = prog_len;
sk_filter_select_runtime(fp);
SK_RUN_FILTER(fp, ctx);
sk_filter_free(fp);
Sockets, seccomp, testsuite, tracing are using different ways to populate
sk_filter, so first steps of program creation are not common.

* do vnic_intr_coalescing_timer_set only while enabling intr
* use ktime_get instead of hrtimer
* make enic_set_rx_coal_setting return type void
* change func name enic_apply_int_moderation to enic_calc_int_moderation
====================

This patch adds support for adaptive interrupt coalescing.
For small pkts with low pkt rate, we can decrease the coalescing interrupt
dynamically which decreases the latency. This however increases the cpu
utilization. Based on testing with different coal intr and pkt rate we came up
with a table(mod_table) with rx_rate and coalescing interrupt value where we
get low latency without significant increase in cpu. mod_table table stores
the coalescing timer percentage value for different throughputs.
Function enic_calc_int_moderation() calculates the desired coalescing intr timer
value. This function is called in driver rx napi_poll. The actual value is set
by enic_set_int_moderation() which is called when napi_poll is complete. i.e
when we unmask the rx intr.
Adaptive coal intr is support only when driver is using msix intr. Because
intr is not shared.
Struct mod_range is used to store only the default adaptive coalescing intr
value.
Adaptive coal intr calue is calculated by
timer = range_start + ((rx_coal->range_end - range_start) *
mod_table[index].range_percent / 100);
rx_coal->range_end is the rx-usecs-high value set using ethtool.
range_start is rx-usecs-low, set using ethtool, if rx_small_pkt_bytes_cnt is
greater than 2 * rx_large_pkt_bytes_cnt. i.e small pkts are dominant. Else its
rx-usecs-low + 3.

tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet
is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker
want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high.
We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking
routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change
available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added
to the wait queue.
Ran performance tests with the following configuration:
- my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer
- sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core
- sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can
- sandy bridge cores
- throughput are receiver side goodput numbers
The results are
baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus
changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus
The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and
inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and
receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are
baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus
changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus

The upper timer_interval limit is arbitrary and much higher
than anything usable in the real world. Reducing it from 15s
to ~4s to make the timer_interval fit in an u32 does not make

This eliminates the need for a 64bit timer_interval, fixing a

This patch speeds up rule-set updates and it also introduces a way to

Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
This patch reworks the nf_tables API so set updates are included in
the same batch that contains rule updates. This speeds up rule-set
updates since we skip a dialog of four messages between kernel and
user-space (two on each direction), from:
1) create the set and send netlink message to the kernel
2) process the response from the kernel that contains the allocated name.
3) add the set elements and send netlink message to the kernel.
4) process the response from the kernel (to check for errors).
To:
1) add the set to the batch.
2) add the set elements to the batch.
3) add the rule that points to the set.
4) send batch to the kernel.
This also introduces an internal set ID (NFTA_SET_ID) that is unique
in the batch so set elements and rules can refer to new sets.
Backward compatibility has been only retained in userspace, this
means that new nft versions can talk to the kernel both in the new
and the old fashion.
