3b47d30396 net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer
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().

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.

685343fc3b net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
Based on a patch by David Herrmann.

The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
  NET_NAME_ENUM:
    The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated
    suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may
    be reused and unpredictable.
  NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
    The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
    that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
    given device. Examples include statically created devices like
    the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties
    (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names
    depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the
    existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE.
  NET_NAME_USER:
    The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup.
  NET_NAME_RENAMED:
    The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set,
    it cannot change again.
  NET_NAME_UNKNOWN:
    This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet
    categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather
    -EINVAL is returned.

The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As
a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay
the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when
attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should
not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local
admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name.

If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace
already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The
main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently
have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such
names NET_NAME_USER.

If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we
most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when
third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could
be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A
typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the
real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before
the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To
solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled
NET_NAME_RENAMED.

In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a
way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when
the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on
the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include
statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties
of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided
names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE.
We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface
naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information
necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not
be exposed to userspace.

The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has
given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of
discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.

Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has
not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing
us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit.

42a2d923cc Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) The addition of nftables.  No longer will we need protocol aware
    firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.

    At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
    machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
    (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.

    Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
    interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
    fundamental operations.  For example sets are supports, and
    therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
    which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
    byte codes to do such lookups.

    Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
    do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.

    Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
    portions of the ruleset.  In the existing netfilter implementation,
    one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
    this is very expensive.

    Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
    netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
    co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
    new stuff.

    Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
    worked so hard on this.

 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
    to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
    UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.

    In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
    cases are added.

 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
    and Yang Yingliang.

 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
    Sujir.

 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
    Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.

 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
    control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
    From Francesco Fusco.

 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
    automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
    SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
    reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
    can do it for connected UDP sockets too.  Implementation from Shawn
    Bohrer.

10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
    performance for listening sockets.  With the main goals being able
    to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
    listening lock contention.  From Eric Dumazet.

11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
    conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
    RCU usage to even more locations.  From Ding Tianhong and Wang
    Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
    Falico.

12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
    segmentation offloading over tunnels.  From Eric Dumazet.

13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
    various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
    well as syncookies.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  The key fundamental
    operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.

    Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
    our generic flow dissector.

14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
    NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
    explicitly set it to NULL any more.  Many drivers have been cleaned
    up in this way, from Jingoo Han.

15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.

16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
    SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled.  Also from Daniel
    Borkmann.

17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
    using the interface MTU value.  This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
    particularly on DNS servers.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
    (re-)implementation in virtio-net.  From Jason Wang.

This patch is handling the problem at the core level, allowing

58292cbe66 sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convoluted
sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.

* attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
  dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace().  The placement is
  arbitrary.

* Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
  callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
  class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace().  It's not simpler
  in any sense.  The only thing this convolution does is traversing
  the whole stack backwards.

The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
are inherently synchronous.  The information can be provided in in
straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
unnecessary and against basic design principles.

This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
layering.  This patch updates attr ns support such that

* sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.

* sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
  added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
  around the ns aware functions.

* ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file().  Nobody uses it at
  this point.  sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.

* Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
  and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().

* driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
  namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
  with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.  It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

7dc5dbc879 sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights
over the net namespace.  The principle here is if you create or have
capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with
what other people have mounted.

Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call,
perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers,
this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves
the existing sysfs abstractions.

6be8aeef34 net: core: convert class code to use dev_groups
The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead.  This converts the networking core class code to
use the correct field.

In order to do this in the "cleanest" way, some of the macros had to be
changed to reflect the driver core format of naming show/store
functions, which accounts for the majority of the churn in this file.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and
netif_set_xps_queue.  The main idea behind these two functions is to
provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in
regards to XPS.

Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for
things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in
which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping.  With this change
I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS
feature by controlling the default configuration.

c5905afb0e static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

a0a129f8b6 rps: fix insufficient bounds checking in store_rps_dev_flow_table_cnt()
Setting a large rps_flow_cnt like (1 << 30) on 32-bit platform will
cause a kernel oops due to insufficient bounds checking.

	if (count > 1<<30) {
		/* Enforce a limit to prevent overflow */
		return -EINVAL;
	}
	count = roundup_pow_of_two(count);
	table = vmalloc(RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count));

Note that the macro RPS_DEV_FLOW_TABLE_SIZE(count) is defined as:

	... + (count * sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow))

where sizeof(struct rps_dev_flow) is 8.  (1 << 30) * 8 will overflow
32 bits.

This patch replaces the magic number (1 << 30) with a symbolic bound.

4bc71cb983 net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling
This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
  problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
  dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code
