Because we build kernels with drivers built in for many platforms, it's
normal for the ibmpowernv driver to be loaded on systems that don't have
the appropriate hardware.
Currently the driver spams the log with:
ibmpowernv ibmpowernv.0: Opal node 'sensors' not found
ibmpowernv: Platfrom driver probe failed
But there is no error, this machine is not a powernv and doesn't have
the hardware. So change the sensors message to dev_dbg(), and only print
an error about the probe failing if it's not ENODEV.
Also fix the spelling of "Platfrom" and print the actual error value.

Currenly we only support Large-Send and TX checksum offloads for

these offloads up to the stack only when VXLAN tunnel is set.
Failing to do so, would mislead the the networking stack to assume
that the driver can offload the internal TX checksum for GRE packets
and other buggy schemes.

These patches from Shani, Matan and myself add support for

innovation and support in that effort.
Based on the feedback from Eric and Ido Shamay, in V2 we dropped

a patch which makes the RX code to go through that path

When processing received traffic, pass CHECKSUM_COMPLETE status to the
stack, with calculated checksum for non TCP/UDP packets (such
as GRE or ICMP).
Although the stack expects checksum which doesn't include the pseudo
header, the HW adds it. To address that, we are subtracting the pseudo
header checksum from the checksum value provided by the HW.
In the IPv6 case, we also compute/add the IP header checksum which
is not added by the HW for such packets.

net: SO_INCOMING_CPU support
SO_INCOMING_CPU socket option (read by getsockopt()) provides
an alternative to RPS/RFS for high performance servers using
multi queues NIC.
TCP should use sk_mark_napi_id() for established sockets only.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.
Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.
Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.
We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.
After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :
int cpu;
socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);
getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);
And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

sk_mark_napi_id() is used to record for a flow napi id of incoming
packets for busypoll sake.
We should do this only on established flows, not on listeners.
This was 'working' by virtue of the socket cloning, but doing
this on SYN packets in unecessary cache line dirtying.
Even if we move sk_napi_id in the same cache line than sk_lock,
we are working to make SYN processing lockless, so it is desirable
to set sk_napi_id only for established flows.

Currently if the user passes an invalid value on the kernel command line
then the kernel will crash during argument parsing. On most systems this
is very hard to debug because the console hasn't been initialized yet.
This is a regression due to commit 51e158c12a ("param: hand arguments
after -- straight to init") which, in response to the systemd debug
controversy, made it possible to explicitly pass arguments to init. To
achieve this parse_args() was extended from simply returning an error
code to returning a pointer. Regretably the new init args logic does not
perform a proper validity check on the pointer resulting in a crash.
This patch fixes the validity check. Should the check fail then no arguments
will be passed to init. This is reasonable and matches how the kernel treats
its own arguments (i.e. no error recovery).

When vnet_start_xmit() is concurrent with vnet_ack(), we may
have a race that looks like:
thread 1 thread 2
vnet_start_xmit vnet_event_napi -> vnet_rx
__vnet_tx_trigger for some desc X
at this point dr->prod == X
peer sends back a stopped ack for X
we process X, but X == dr->prod
so we bail out in vnet_ack with
!idx_is_pending
update dr->prod
As a result of the fact that we never processed the stopped ack for X,
the Tx path is led to incorrectly believe that the peer is still
"started" and reading, but the peer has stopped reading, which will
ultimately end in flow-control assertions.
The fix is to synchronize the above 2 paths on the netif_tx_lock.

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers. The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.
Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.

The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain. This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.
This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache. In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks. For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.
The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.

to different style.
As a result, the current kernel.org files are a mix of different macro styles.
Since this macro/register defines is used by different drivers a
few patch series have ended up adding duplicate macro/register define entries
with different styles. This makes these register define/macro files a complete
mess and we want to make them clean and consistent. This patch cleans up a part
of it.

To enable gro_flush_timeout, a driver has to use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
Tested:
Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)
Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.
GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)
Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)
Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.
Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.
Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.
To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44
But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.
Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.
This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.
Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.
This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.
To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
