This patch is to fix the replay attack issue for strreset asoc requests.
When a duplicated strreset asoc request is received, reply it with bad
seqno if it's seqno < asoc->strreset_inseq - 2, and reply it with the
result saved in asoc if it's seqno >= asoc->strreset_inseq - 2.
But note that if the result saved in asoc is performed, the sender's next
tsn and receiver's next tsn for the response chunk should be set. It's
safe to get them from asoc. Because if it's changed, which means the peer
has received the response already, the new response with wrong tsn won't
be accepted by peer.

Now sctp stream reconf will process a request again even if it's seqno is

If one request has been done successfully and some data chunks have been
accepted and then a duplicated strreset out request comes, the streamin's
ssn will be cleared. It will cause that stream will never receive chunks
any more because of unsynchronized ssn. It allows a replay attack.
A similar issue also exists when processing addstrm out requests. It will
cause more extra streams being added.
This patch is to fix it by saving the last 2 results into asoc. When a
duplicated strreset out or addstrm out request is received, reply it with
bad seqno if it's seqno < asoc->strreset_inseq - 2, and reply it with the
result saved in asoc if it's seqno >= asoc->strreset_inseq - 2.
Note that it saves last 2 results instead of only last 1 result, because
two requests can be sent together in one chunk.
And note that when receiving a duplicated request, the receiver side will
still reply it even if the peer has received the response. It's safe, As
the response will be dropped by the peer.

Commit 07b26c9454 ("gso: Support partial splitting at the frag_list

one) contain the same amount of GSO payload.
This assumption is not always correct, resulting in the following
warning message in the log:
skb_segment: too many frags
For example, mlx5 driver in Striding RQ mode creates some RX SKBs with
one frag, and some with 2 frags.
After GRO, the frag_list SKBs end up having different amounts of payload.
If this frag_list SKB is then forwarded, the aforementioned assumption
is violated.
Validate the assumption, and fall back to software GSO if it not true.

bpf: LRU performance and test-program improvements
The first 4 patches make a few improvements to the LRU tests.
Patch 5/6 is to improve the performance of BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map.
Patch 6/6 adds an example in using LRU map with map-in-map.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
This patch adds a map-in-map LRU example.
If we know only a subset of cores will use the
LRU, we can allocate a common LRU list per targeting core
and store it into an array-of-hashs.
It allows using the common LRU map with map-update performance
comparable to the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map but without wasting memory
on the unused cores that we know they will never access the LRU map.
BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU:
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9234314 (9.23M/s)
map-in-map LRU:
> map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 80000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9962743 (9.96M/s)
Notes that the max_entries for the map-in-map LRU test is 1260000 which
is the max_entries for each inner LRU map. 8 processes have been
started, so 8 * 1260000 = 10080000 (~10M) which is close to what is
used in the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU test.

After doing map_perf_test with a much bigger
BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map, the perf report shows a
lot of time spent in rotating the inactive list (i.e.
__bpf_lru_list_rotate_inactive):
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000 1000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
19644783 (19M/s)
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
6283930 (6.28M/s)
By inactive, it usually means the element is not in cache. Hence,
there is a need to tune the PERCPU_NR_SCANS value.
This patch finds a better number of elements to
scan during each list rotation. The PERCPU_NR_SCANS (which
is defined the same as PERCPU_FREE_TARGET) decreases
from 16 elements to 4 elements. This change only
affects the BPF_F_NO_COMMON_LRU map.
The test_lru_dist does not show meaningful difference
between 16 and 4. Our production L4 load balancer which uses
the LRU map for conntrack-ing also shows little change in cache
hit rate. Since both benchmark and production data show no
cache-hit difference, PERCPU_NR_SCANS is lowered from 16 to 4.
We can consider making it configurable if we find a usecase
later that shows another value works better and/or use
a different rotation strategy.
After this change:
> map_perf_test 32 8 10000000 10000000 | awk '{sum += $3}END{print sum}'
9240324 (9.2M/s)
i.e. 6.28M/s -> 9.2M/s
The test_lru_dist has not shown meaningful difference:
> test_lru_dist zipf.100k.a1_01.out 4000 1:
nr_misses: 31575 (Before) vs 31566 (After)
> test_lru_dist zipf.100k.a0_01.out 40000 1

The current bpf_map_def is statically defined during compile
time. This patch allows the *_user.c program to change it during
runtime. It is done by adding load_bpf_file_fixup_map() which
takes a callback. The callback will be called before creating
each map so that it has a chance to modify the bpf_map_def.
The current usecase is to change max_entries in map_perf_test.
It is interesting to test with a much bigger map size in
some cases (e.g. the following patch on bpf_lru_map.c).
However, it is hard to find one size to fit all testing
environment. Hence, it is handy to take the max_entries
as a cmdline arg and then configure the bpf_map_def during
runtime.
This patch adds two cmdline args. One is to configure
the map's max_entries. Another is to configure the max_cnt
which controls how many times a syscall is called.

-16 means -EBUSY, phy_suspend() will return -EBUSY if it finds the
device has WOL enabled.
We fix this issue by properly setting the netdev's power.can_wakeup
and power.wakeup, i.e
1. in mvneta_mdio_probe(), call device_set_wakeup_capable() to set
power.can_wakeup if the phy support WOL.

phylib has some undesirable behaviour when forcing a link mode through
ethtool. phylib uses this code:
idx = phy_find_valid(phy_find_setting(phydev->speed, phydev->duplex),
features);
to find an index in the settings table. phy_find_setting() starts at
index 0, and scans upwards looking for an exact speed and duplex match.
When it doesn't find it, it returns MAX_NUM_SETTINGS - 1, which is
10baseT-Half duplex.
phy_find_valid() then scans from the point (and effectively only checks
one entry) before bailing out, returning MAX_NUM_SETTINGS - 1.
phy_sanitize_settings() then sets ->speed to SPEED_10 and ->duplex to
DUPLEX_HALF whether or not 10baseT-Half is supported or not. This goes
against all the comments against these functions, and 10baseT-Half may
not even be supported by the hardware.
Rework these functions, introducing a new method of scanning the table.
There are two modes of lookup that phylib wants: exact, and inexact.
- in exact mode, we return either an exact match or failure
- in inexact mode, we return an exact match if it exists, a match at
the highest speed that is not greater than the requested speed
(ignoring duplex), or failing that, the lowest supported speed, or
failure.
The biggest difference is that we always check whether the entry is
supported before further consideration, so all unsupported entries are
not considered as candidates.
This results in arguably saner behaviour, better matches the comments,
and is probably what users would expect.
This becomes important as ethernet speeds increase, PHYs exist which do
not support the 10Mbit speeds, and half-duplex is likely to become
obsolete - it's already not even an option on 10Gbit and faster links.

mlx5 IPoIB RDMA netdev will serve as an acceleration netdevice for the current

- mlx5 HW RX,TX offloads (checksum, TSO, LRO, etc ..).
- Full mlx5 HW features transparent to the ULP itself.
The idea here is to reuse and benefit from the already implemented mlx5e netdevice
management and channels API for both etherent and RDMA netdevices, since both IPoIB
and Ethernet netdevices share same common mlx5 HW resources (with some small
exceptions) and share most of the control/data path logic, it is more natural to
have them share the same code.
The differences between IPoIB and Ethernet netdevices can be summarized to:
Steering:
In mlx5, IPoIB traffic is sent and received from an underlay special QP, and in Ethernet
the traffic is handled by vports and vport steering is managed by e-switch or FW.
For IPoIB traffic to get steered correctly the only thing we need to do is to create RSS
HW contexts for RX and TX HW contexts for TX (similar to mlx5e) with the underlay QP attached to
them (underlay QP will be 0 in case of Ethernet).
RX,TX:
Since IPoIB traffic is different, slightly modified RX and TX handlers are required,
still we do some code reuse in data path via common helper functions.
All of the other generic netdevice and mlx5 aspects will be shared between mlx5 Ethernet
and IPoIB netdevices, e.g.
- Channels creation and handling (RQs,SQs,CQs, NAPI, interrupt moderation, etc..)
- Offloads, checksum, GRO, LRO, TSO, and more.
- netdevice logic and non Ethernet specific ndos (open/close, etc..)
In order to achieve what we want:
In patchet 1 to 3, Erez added the supported for underlay QP in mlx5_ifc and refactored
the mlx5 steering code to accept the underlay QP as a parameter for creating steering
objects and enabled flow steering for IB link.
Then we are going to use the mlx5e netdevice profile, which is already used to separate between
NIC and VF representors netdevices, to create new type of IPoIB netdevice profile.
For that, one small refactoring is required to make mlx5e netdevice profile management
more genetic and agnostic to link type which is done in patch #4.
In patch #5, we introduce ipoib.c to host all of mlx5 IPoIB (mlx5i) specific logic and a
skeleton for the IPoIB mlx5 netdevice profile, and we will start filling it in next patches,
using mlx5e already existing APIs.
Patch #6 and #7, Implement init/cleanup RX mlx5i netdev profile handlers to create mlx5 RSS
resources, same as mlx5e but without vlan and L2 steering tables.
Patch #8, Implement init/cleanup TX mlx5i netdev profile handlers, to create TX resources
same as mlx5e but with one TC (tc = 0) support.
Patch #9, Implement mlx5i open/close ndos, where we reuese the mlx5e channels API, to start/stop TX/RX channels.
Patch #10, Create the underlay QP and attach it to mlx5i RSS and TX HW contexts.
Patch #11 and #12, Break down the mlx5e xmit flow into smaller helper function and implement the
mlx5i IPoIB xmit routine.
Patch #13 and #14, Have an RX handler per netdevice profile. We already do this before this series
in a non clean way to separate between NIC netdev and VF representor RX handlers, in patch 13 we make
the RX handler generic and bound to a profile and in patch 14 we implement the IPoIB RX handlers.
Patch #15, Small cleanup to avoid e-switch with IPoIB netdev.
In order to enable mlx5 IPoIB, a merge between the IPoIB RDMA netdev offolad support [3]
- which was alread submitted to the rdma mailing list - and this series is required
plus an extra small patch [4] which will connect between both sides and actually enables the offload.
Once both patch-sets are merged into linux we will have to submit the extra small patch [4], to enable
the feature.
Thanks,
Saeed.

Currently the driver support only ethernet eswitch, and we want to
protect downstream IPoIB netdev from trying to access it in IB link.
