Current Striding RQ HW feature utilizes the RX buffers so that
there is no wasted room between the strides. This maximises
the memory utilization.
This prevents the use of build_skb() (which requires headroom
and tailroom), and demands to memcpy the packets headers into
the skb linear part.
In this patch, whenever a set of conditions holds, we apply
an RQ configuration that allows combining the use of linear SKB
on top of a Striding RQ.
To use build_skb() with Striding RQ, the following must hold:
1. packet does not cross a page boundary.
2. there is enough headroom and tailroom surrounding the packet.
We can satisfy 1 and 2 by configuring:
stride size = MTU + headroom + tailoom.
This is possible only when:
a. (MTU - headroom - tailoom) does not exceed PAGE_SIZE.
b. HW LRO is turned off.
Using linear SKB has many advantages:
- Saves a memcpy of the headers.
- No page-boundary checks in datapath.
- No filler CQEs.
- Significantly smaller CQ.
- SKB data continuously resides in linear part, and not split to
small amount (linear part) and large amount (fragment).
This saves datapath cycles in driver and improves utilization
of SKB fragments in GRO.
- The fragments of a resulting GRO SKB follow the IP forwarding
assumption of equal-size fragments.
Some implementation details:
HW writes the packets to the beginning of a stride,
i.e. does not keep headroom. To overcome this we make sure we can
extend backwards and use the last bytes of stride i-1.
Extra care is needed for stride 0 as it has no preceding stride.
We make sure headroom bytes are available by shifting the buffer
pointer passed to HW by headroom bytes.
This configuration now becomes default, whenever capable.
Of course, this implies turning LRO off.
Performance testing:
ConnectX-5, single core, single RX ring, default MTU.

In Striding RQ, each WQE serves multiple packets
(hence called Multi-Packet WQE, MPWQE).
The size of a MPWQE is constant (currently 256KB).
Upon a ringparam set operation, we calculate the number of
MPWQEs per RQ. For this, first it is needed to determine the
number of packets that can reside within a single MPWQE.
In this patch we use the actual MTU size instead of ETH_DATA_LEN
for this calculation.
This implies that a change in MTU might require a change
in Striding RQ ring size.
In addition, this obsoletes some WQEs-to-packets translation
functions and helps delete ~60 LOC.

This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver
with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions.
Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is
disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via
send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual
interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to
host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in
scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled.
After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it
until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as
it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down
operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and
clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet
overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure.
Fix:
This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing
firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0).
send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the
code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed
by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur.

Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations
the problem is {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() do not take
pernet_ops_rwsem, and they don't see network namespaces, being
initialized in setup_net() and cleanup_net(), since at this
time net is not hashed to net_namespace_list.
This may lead to imbalance, when a notifier is called at time of
setup_net()/net is alive, but it's not called at time of cleanup_net(),
for the devices, hashed to the net, and vise versa. See (3/3) for
the scheme of imbalance.
This patchset fixes the problem by acquiring pernet_ops_rwsem
at the time of {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() (3/3).
(1-2/3) are preparations in xfrm and netfilter subsystems.
The problem was introduced a long ago, but backporting won't be easy,
since every previous kernel version may have changes in netdevice
notifiers, and they all need review and testing. Otherwise, there
may be more pernet_operations, which register or unregister
netdevice notifiers, and that leads to deadlock (which is was fixed
in 1-2/3). This patchset is for net-next.
====================

{un,}register_netdevice_notifier() iterate over all net namespaces
hashed to net_namespace_list. But pernet_operations register and
unregister netdevices in unhashed net namespace, and they are not
seen for netdevice notifiers. This results in asymmetry:
1)Race with register_netdevice_notifier()
pernet_operations::init(net) ...
register_netdevice() ...
call_netdevice_notifiers() ...
... nb is not called ...
... register_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
... ...
list_add_tail(&net->list, ..) ...
Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:
pernet_operations::exit(net)
unregister_netdevice()
call_netdevice_notifiers()
... nb is called ...
This always happens with net::loopback_dev, but it may be not the only device.
2)Race with unregister_netdevice_notifier()
pernet_operations::init(net)
register_netdevice()
call_netdevice_notifiers()
... nb is called ...
Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:
list_del_rcu(&net->list) ...
pernet_operations::exit(net) unregister_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
dev_change_net_namespace() ...
call_netdevice_notifiers()
... nb is not called ...
unregister_netdevice()
call_netdevice_notifiers()
... nb is not called ...
This race is more danger, since dev_change_net_namespace() moves real
network devices, which use not trivial netdevice notifiers, and if this
will happen, the system will be left in unpredictable state.
The patch closes the race. During the testing I found two places,
where register_netdevice_notifier() is called from pernet init/exit
methods (which led to deadlock) and fixed them (see previous patches).
The review moved me to one more unusual registration place:
raw_init() (can driver). It may be a reason of problems,
if someone creates in-kernel CAN_RAW sockets, since they
will be destroyed in exit method and raw_release()
will call unregister_netdevice_notifier(). But grep over
kernel tree does not show, someone creates such sockets
from kernel space.
Theoretically, there can be more places like this, and which are
hidden from review, but we found them on the first bumping there
(since there is no a race, it will be 100% reproducible).

nfp: flower: handle MTU changes

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Trigger a port mod message to request an MTU change on the NIC when any
physical port representor is assigned a new MTU value. The driver waits
10 msec for an ack that the FW has set the MTU. If no ack is received the
request is rejected and an appropriate warning flagged.
Rather than maintain an MTU queue per repr, one is maintained per app.
Because the MTU ndo is protected by the rtnl lock, there can never be
contention here. Portmod messages from the NIC are also protected by
rtnl so we first check if the portmod is an ack and, if so, handle outside
rtnl and the cmsg work queue.
Acks are detected by the marking of a bit in a portmod response. They are
then verfied by checking the port number and MTU value expected by the
app. If the expected MTU is 0 then no acks are currently expected.
Also, ensure that the packet headroom reserved by the flower firmware is
considered when accepting an MTU change on any repr.

Following Tal's review of the adaptive RX/TX coalescing feature added to the

- adaptive TX coalescing is not actually a good idea with the current way
the estimator will program the ring, this results in a higher CPU load, NAPI

- both SYSTEMPORT and GENET would suffer from the same issues while configuring

across close/open calls, instead we would always reset to no timeout
and 1 interrupt per packet, this would also prevent DIM from setting its
default usec/pkts values
- when adaptive RX would be turned on, we woud not be fetching the
default parameters, we would stay with no timeout/1 packet per interrupt
until the estimator kicks in and changes that
- finally disabling adaptive RX coalescing while providing parameters
would not be honored, and we would stay with whatever DIM had previously
determined instead of the user requested parameters

Adaptive TX coalescing is not currently giving us any advantages and
ends up making the CPU spin more frequently until TX completion. Deny
and disable adaptive TX coalescing for now and rely on static
configuration, we can always add it back later.

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CS]TAG_FILTER features require more than just a bit
flip in dev->features in order to keep the driver in a consistent state.
These features notify the driver of each added/removed vlan, but toggling
of vlan-filter does not notify the driver accordingly for each of the
existing vlans.
This patch implements a similar solution to NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT
behavior (which notifies the driver about UDP ports in the same manner
that vids are reported).
Each toggling of the features propagates to the 8021q module, which
iterates over the vlans and call add/kill ndo accordingly.

This reverts commit 0d7df906a0.
Valdis Kletnieks reported that xtables is broken in linux-next since
0d7df906a0 ("netfilter: x_tables: ensure last rule in base chain
matches underflow/policy"), as kernel rejects the (well-formed) ruleset:
[ 64.402790] ip6_tables: last base chain position 1136 doesn't match underflow 1344 (hook 1)
mark_source_chains is not the correct place for such a check, as it
terminates evaluation of a chain once it sees an unconditional verdict
(following rules are known to be unreachable). It seems preferrable to
fix libiptc instead, so remove this check again.

Due to the way percpu counters are allocated and freed in blocks,
it is not safe to free counters individually. Currently all callers
do the right thing, but let's note this restriction.
