A follow-up patch adds a new entry point, team_port_dev_txable(). Making
it an ordinary exported function would mean that any module that may
need the service in one of the supported configurations also
unconditionally needs to pull in the team module, whether or not the
user actually intends to create team interfaces.
To prevent that, team_port_dev_txable() is defined in if_team.h, and
therefore all dependencies of that function also need to be
publicly-visible.
Therefore move team_port_get_rcu() from team.c to if_team.h.

tipc: make link protocol more resilient
These two commits make the link ptotocol more resilient to

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
In some virtual environments we observe a significant higher number of
packet reordering and delays than we have been used to traditionally.
This makes it necessary with stricter checks on incoming link protocol
messages' session number, which until now only has been validated for
RESET messages.
Since the other two message types, ACTIVATE and STATE messages also
carry this number, it is easy to extend the validation check to those
messages.
We also introduce a flag indicating if a link has a valid peer session
number or not. This eliminates the mixing of 32- and 16-bit arithmethics
we are currently using to achieve this.

Some switch infrastructures produce huge amounts of packet duplicates.
This becomes a problem if those messages are STATE/NACK protocol
messages, causing unnecessary retransmissions of already accepted
packets.
We now introduce a unique sequence number per STATE protocol message
so that duplicates can be identified and ignored. This will also be
useful when tracing such cases, and to avert replay attacks when TIPC
is encrypted.
For compatibility reasons we have to introduce a new capability flag
TIPC_LINK_PROTO_SEQNO to handle this new feature.

L2 Fwd Offload & 10GbE Intel Driver Updates 2018-07-09
This patch series is meant to allow support for the L2 forward offload, aka
MACVLAN offload without the need for using ndo_select_queue.
The existing solution currently requires that we use ndo_select_queue in
the transmit path if we want to associate specific Tx queues with a given
MACVLAN interface. In order to get away from this we need to repurpose the
tc_to_txq array and XPS pointer for the MACVLAN interface and use those as
a means of accessing the queues on the lower device. As a result we cannot
offload a device that is configured as multiqueue, however it doesn't
really make sense to configure a macvlan interfaced as being multiqueue
anyway since it doesn't really have a qdisc of its own in the first place.
The big changes in this set are:
Allow lower device to update tc_to_txq and XPS map of offloaded MACVLAN
Disable XPS for single queue devices
Replace accel_priv with sb_dev in ndo_select_queue
Add sb_dev parameter to fallback function for ndo_select_queue
Consolidated ndo_select_queue functions that appeared to be duplicates

addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() has multiple problems. First, it ignores
the errors returned by proc_dointvec().
addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() calls proc_dointvec() directly, which
writes the value to memory, and then checks if it's valid and may return
EINVAL. If a bad value is given, the value displayed when reading
net.ipv6.conf.foo.addr_gen_mode next time will be invalid. In case the
value provided by the user was valid, addrconf_dev_config() won't be
called since idev->cnf.addr_gen_mode has already been updated.
Fix this in the usual way we deal with values that need to be checked
after the proc_do*() helper has returned: define a local ctl_table and
storage, call proc_dointvec() on that temporary area, then check and
store.
addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() also writes the new value to the global
ipv6_devconf_dflt, when we're writing to some netns's default, so that
new netns will inherit the value that was set by the change occuring in
any netns. That doesn't make any sense, so let's drop this assignment.
Finally, since addr_gen_mode is a __u32, switch to proc_douintvec().

This series starts with two minor clean ups to test_offload.py
selftest script.
The next 11 patches extend the abilities of bpftool prog load
beyond the simple cgroup use cases. Three new parameters are
added:
- type - allows specifying program type, independent of how
code sections are named;
- map - allows reusing existing maps, instead of creating a new
map on every program load;
- dev - offload/binding to a device.
A number of changes to libbpf is required to accomplish the task.
The section - program type logic mapping is exposed. We should
probably aim to use the libbpf program section naming everywhere.
For reuse of maps we need to allow users to set FD for bpf map
object in libbpf.
Examples
Load program my_xdp.o and pin it as /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp, for xdp
program type:
$ bpftool prog load my_xdp.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp \
type xdp
As above but for offload:
$ bpftool prog load my_xdp.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp \
type xdp \
dev netdevsim0
Load program my_maps.o, but for the first map reuse map id 17,
and for the map called "other_map" reuse pinned map /sys/fs/bpf/map0:
$ bpftool prog load my_maps.o /sys/fs/bpf/prog \
map idx 0 id 17 \
map name other_map pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map0
v3:
- fix return codes in patch 5;
- rename libbpf_prog_type_by_string() -> libbpf_prog_type_by_name();

More advanced applications may want to only replace programs without
destroying associated maps. Allow libbpf users to achieve that.
Instead of always creating all of the maps at load time, expose to
users an API to reconstruct the map object from already existing
map.
The map parameters are read from the kernel and replace the parameters
of the ELF map. libbpf does not restrict the map replacement, i.e.
the reused map does not have to be compatible with the ELF map
definition. We relay on the verifier for checking the compatibility
between maps and programs. The ELF map definition is completely
overwritten by the information read from the kernel, to make sure
libbpf's view of map object corresponds to the actual map.

This patch series adds the CAKE qdisc, and has been split up to ease

The result of applying the entire series is identical to the out of tree

Changelog
v19:
- Rebase to current net-next.
- Don't rely on the value of sch->q.qlen to break loops; fixes possible
infinite loop on multi-queue devices.
- Don't overwrite NAT flag when setting flow mode.
v18:
- Rework classification logic in the diffserv case to always hash if
filter doesn't select a queue, and to run TC filters before
selecting the diffserv tin (allowing filter to influence this).
- Make sure we always call qdisc_watchdog_init() in cake_init(), so we
don't crash in cake_destroy().
v17:
- Rebase to newest net-next and move the conntrack callback to
nf_ct_hook
- Fix a compile error when NF_CONNTRACK is unset.
v16:
- Move conntrack lookup function into conntrack core and read it via
RCU so it is only active when the nf_conntrack module is loaded.
This avoids the module dependency on conntrack for NAT mode. Thanks
to Pablo for the idea.
v15:
- Handle ECN flags in ACK filter
v14:
- Handle seqno wraps and DSACKs in ACK filter
v13:
- Avoid ktime_t to scalar compares
- Add class dumping and basic stats
- Fail with ENOTSUPP when requesting NAT mode and conntrack is not
available.
- Parse all TCP options in ACK filter and make sure to only drop safe
ones. Also handle SACK ranges properly.
v12:
- Get rid of custom time typedefs. Use ktime_t for time and u64 for
duration instead.
v11:
- Fix overhead compensation calculation for GSO packets
- Change configured rate to be u64 (I ran out of bits before I ran out
of CPU when testing the effects of the above)
v10:
- Christmas tree gardening (fix variable declarations to be in reverse
line length order)
v9:
- Remove duplicated checks around kvfree() and just call it
unconditionally.
- Don't pass __GFP_NOWARN when allocating memory
- Move options in cake_dump() that are related to optional features to
later patches implementing the features.
- Support attaching filters to the qdisc and use the classification
result to select flow queue.
- Support overriding diffserv priority tin from skb->priority
v8:
- Remove inline keyword from function definitions
- Simplify ACK filter; remove the complex state handling to make the
logic easier to follow. This will potentially be a bit less efficient,
but I have not been able to measure a difference.
v7:
- Split up patch into a series to ease review.
- Constify the ACK filter.
v6:
- Fix 6in4 encapsulation checks in ACK filter code
- Checkpatch fixes
v5:
- Refactor ACK filter code and hopefully fix the safety issues
properly this time.
v4:
- Only split GSO packets if shaping at speeds <= 1Gbps
- Fix overhead calculation code to also work for GSO packets
- Don't re-implement kvzalloc()
- Remove local header include from out-of-tree build (fixes kbuild-bot
complaint).
- Several fixes to the ACK filter:
- Check pskb_may_pull() before deref of transport headers.
- Don't run ACK filter logic on split GSO packets
- Fix TCP sequence number compare to deal with wraparounds
v3:
- Use IS_REACHABLE() macro to fix compilation when sch_cake is
built-in and conntrack is a module.
- Switch the stats output to use nested netlink attributes instead
of a versioned struct.
- Remove GPL boilerplate.
- Fix array initialisation style.
v2:
- Fix kbuild test bot complaint
- Clean up the netlink ABI
- Fix checkpatch complaints
- A few tweaks to the behaviour of cake based on testing carried out
while writing the paper.

At lower bandwidths, the transmission time of a single GSO segment can add
an unacceptable amount of latency due to HOL blocking. Furthermore, with a
software shaper, any tuning mechanism employed by the kernel to control the
maximum size of GSO segments is thrown off by the artificial limit on
bandwidth. For this reason, we split GSO segments into their individual
packets iff the shaper is active and configured to a bandwidth <= 1 Gbps.

This commit adds configurable overhead compensation support to the rate
shaper. With this feature, userspace can configure the actual bottleneck
link overhead and encapsulation mode used, which will be used by the shaper
to calculate the precise duration of each packet on the wire.
This feature is needed because CAKE is often deployed one or two hops
upstream of the actual bottleneck (which can be, e.g., inside a DSL or
cable modem). In this case, the link layer characteristics and overhead
reported by the kernel does not match the actual bottleneck. Being able to
set the actual values in use makes it possible to configure the shaper rate
much closer to the actual bottleneck rate (our experience shows it is
possible to get with 0.1% of the actual physical bottleneck rate), thus
keeping latency low without sacrificing bandwidth.
The overhead compensation has three tunables: A fixed per-packet overhead
size (which, if set, will be accounted from the IP packet header), a
minimum packet size (MPU) and a framing mode supporting either ATM or PTM
framing. We include a set of common keywords in TC to help users configure
the right parameters. If no overhead value is set, the value reported by
the kernel is used.

This adds support for DiffServ-based priority queueing to CAKE. If the
shaper is in use, each priority tier gets its own virtual clock, which
limits that tier's rate to a fraction of the overall shaped rate, to
discourage trying to game the priority mechanism.
CAKE defaults to a simple, three-tier mode that interprets most code points
as "best effort", but places CS1 traffic into a low-priority "bulk" tier
which is assigned 1/16 of the total rate, and a few code points indicating
latency-sensitive or control traffic (specifically TOS4, VA, EF, CS6, CS7)
into a "latency sensitive" high-priority tier, which is assigned 1/4 rate.
The other supported DiffServ modes are a 4-tier mode matching the 802.11e
precedence rules, as well as two 8-tier modes, one of which implements
strict precedence of the eight priority levels.
This commit also adds an optional DiffServ 'wash' mode, which will zero out
the DSCP fields of any packet passing through CAKE. While this can
technically be done with other mechanisms in the kernel, having the feature
available in CAKE significantly decreases configuration complexity; and the
implementation cost is low on top of the other DiffServ-handling code.
Filters and applications can set the skb->priority field to override the
DSCP-based classification into tiers. If TC_H_MAJ(skb->priority) matches
CAKE's qdisc handle, the minor number will be interpreted as a priority
tier if it is less than or equal to the number of configured priority
tiers.

When CAKE is deployed on a gateway that also performs NAT (which is a
common deployment mode), the host fairness mechanism cannot distinguish
internal hosts from each other, and so fails to work correctly.
To fix this, we add an optional NAT awareness mode, which will query the
kernel conntrack mechanism to obtain the pre-NAT addresses for each packet
and use that in the flow and host hashing.
When the shaper is enabled and the host is already performing NAT, the cost
of this lookup is negligible. However, in unlimited mode with no NAT being
performed, there is a significant CPU cost at higher bandwidths. For this
reason, the feature is turned off by default.

This adds a global netfilter function to extract a conntrack tuple from an
skb. The function uses a new function added to nf_ct_hook, which will try
to get the tuple from skb->_nfct, and do a full lookup if that fails. This
makes it possible to use the lookup function before the skb has passed
through the conntrack init hooks (e.g., in an ingress qdisc). The tuple is
copied to the caller to avoid issues with reference counting.
The function returns false if conntrack is not loaded, allowing it to be
used without incurring a module dependency on conntrack. This is used by
the NAT mode in sch_cake.

The ACK filter is an optional feature of CAKE which is designed to improve
performance on links with very asymmetrical rate limits. On such links
(which are unfortunately quite prevalent, especially for DSL and cable
subscribers), the downstream throughput can be limited by the number of
ACKs capable of being transmitted in the *upstream* direction.
Filtering ACKs can, in general, have adverse effects on TCP performance
because it interferes with ACK clocking (especially in slow start), and it
reduces the flow's resiliency to ACKs being dropped further along the path.
To alleviate these drawbacks, the ACK filter in CAKE tries its best to
always keep enough ACKs queued to ensure forward progress in the TCP flow
being filtered. It does this by only filtering redundant ACKs. In its
default 'conservative' mode, the filter will always keep at least two
redundant ACKs in the queue, while in 'aggressive' mode, it will filter
down to a single ACK.
The ACK filter works by inspecting the per-flow queue on every packet
enqueue. Starting at the head of the queue, the filter looks for another
eligible packet to drop (so the ACK being dropped is always closer to the
head of the queue than the packet being enqueued). An ACK is eligible only
if it ACKs *fewer* bytes than the new packet being enqueued, including any
SACK options. This prevents duplicate ACKs from being filtered, to avoid
interfering with retransmission logic. In addition, we check TCP header
options and only drop those that are known to not interfere with sender
state. In particular, packets with unknown option codes are never dropped.
In aggressive mode, an eligible packet is always dropped, while in
conservative mode, at least two ACKs are kept in the queue. Only pure ACKs
(with no data segments) are considered eligible for dropping, but when an
ACK with data segments is enqueued, this can cause another pure ACK to
become eligible for dropping.
The approach described above ensures that this ACK filter avoids most of
the drawbacks of a naive filtering mechanism that only keeps flow state but
does not inspect the queue. This is the rationale for including the ACK
filter in CAKE itself rather than as separate module (as the TC filter, for
instance).
Our performance evaluation has shown that on a 30/1 Mbps link with a
bidirectional traffic test (RRUL), turning on the ACK filter on the
upstream link improves downstream throughput by ~20% (both modes) and
upstream throughput by ~12% in conservative mode and ~40% in aggressive
mode, at the cost of ~5ms of inter-flow latency due to the increased
congestion.
In *really* pathological cases, the effect can be a lot more; for instance,
the ACK filter increases the achievable downstream throughput on a link
with 100 Kbps in the upstream direction by an order of magnitude (from ~2.5
Mbps to ~25 Mbps).
Finally, even though we consider the ACK filter to be safer than most, we
do not recommend turning it on everywhere: on more symmetrical link
bandwidths the effect is negligible at best.

The ingress mode is meant to be enabled when CAKE runs downlink of the
actual bottleneck (such as on an IFB device). The mode changes the shaper
to also account dropped packets to the shaped rate, as these have already
traversed the bottleneck.
Enabling ingress mode will also tune the AQM to always keep at least two
packets queued *for each flow*. This is done by scaling the minimum queue
occupancy level that will disable the AQM by the number of active bulk
flows. The rationale for this is that retransmits are more expensive in
ingress mode, since dropped packets have to traverse the bottleneck again
when they are retransmitted; thus, being more lenient and keeping a minimum
number of packets queued will improve throughput in cases where the number
of active flows are so large that they saturate the bottleneck even at
their minimum window size.
This commit also adds a separate switch to enable ingress mode rate
autoscaling. If enabled, the autoscaling code will observe the actual
traffic rate and adjust the shaper rate to match it. This can help avoid
latency increases in the case where the actual bottleneck rate decreases
below the shaped rate. The scaling filters out spikes by an EWMA filter.

sch_cake targets the home router use case and is intended to squeeze the
most bandwidth and latency out of even the slowest ISP links and routers,
while presenting an API simple enough that even an ISP can configure it.
Example of use on a cable ISP uplink:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 cake bandwidth 20Mbit nat docsis ack-filter
To shape a cable download link (ifb and tc-mirred setup elided)
tc qdisc add dev ifb0 cake bandwidth 200mbit nat docsis ingress wash
CAKE is filled with:
* A hybrid Codel/Blue AQM algorithm, "Cobalt", tied to an FQ_Codel
derived Flow Queuing system, which autoconfigures based on the bandwidth.
* A novel "triple-isolate" mode (the default) which balances per-host
and per-flow FQ even through NAT.
* An deficit based shaper, that can also be used in an unlimited mode.
* 8 way set associative hashing to reduce flow collisions to a minimum.
* A reasonable interpretation of various diffserv latency/loss tradeoffs.
* Support for zeroing diffserv markings for entering and exiting traffic.
* Support for interacting well with Docsis 3.0 shaper framing.
* Extensive support for DSL framing types.
* Support for ack filtering.
* Extensive statistics for measuring, loss, ecn markings, latency
variation.
A paper describing the design of CAKE is available at
https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07617, and will be published at the 2018 IEEE
International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN).
This patch adds the base shaper and packet scheduler, while subsequent
commits add the optional (configurable) features. The full userspace API
and most data structures are included in this commit, but options not
understood in the base version will be ignored.
Various versions baking have been available as an out of tree build for
kernel versions going back to 3.10, as the embedded router world has been
running a few years behind mainline Linux. A stable version has been
generally available on lede-17.01 and later.
sch_cake replaces a combination of iptables, tc filter, htb and fq_codel
in the sqm-scripts, with sane defaults and vastly simpler configuration.

====================
mlxsw: More Spectrum-2 preparations
This is the second and last set of preparations towards initial
Spectrum-2 support in mlxsw. It mainly re-arranges parts of the code
that need to work with both ASICs, but somewhat differ.
The first three patches allow different ASICs to register different set
of operations for KVD linear (KVDL) management. In Spectrum-2 there is
no linear memory and instead entries that reside there in Spectrum
(e.g., nexthops) are hashed and inserted to the hash-based KVD memory.
The fourth patch does a similar restructuring in the low-level multicast
router code. This is necessary because multicast routing is implemented
using regular circuit TCAM (C-TCAM) in Spectrum, whereas Spectrum-2 uses
an algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM).
Next six patches prepare the ACL code for the introduction of A-TCAM in
follow-up patch sets.
Last two patches allow different ASICs to require different firmware
versions and add two resources that need to be queried from firmware by
Spectrum-2 specific code.
