Since we use prandom*() functions quite often in networking code
i.e. in UDP port selection, netfilter code, etc, upgrade the PRNG
from Pierre L'Ecuyer's original paper "Maximally Equidistributed
Combined Tausworthe Generators", Mathematics of Computation, 65,
213 (1996), 203--213 to the version published in his errata paper [1].
The Tausworthe generator is a maximally-equidistributed generator,
that is fast and has good statistical properties [1].
The version presented there upgrades the 3 state LFSR to a 4 state
LFSR with increased periodicity from about 2^88 to 2^113. The
algorithm is presented in [1] by the very same author who also
designed the original algorithm in [2].
Also, by increasing the state, we make it a bit harder for attackers
to "guess" the PRNGs internal state. See also discussion in [3].
Now, as we use this sort of weak initialization discussed in [3]
only between core_initcall() until late_initcall() time [*] for
prandom32*() users, namely in prandom_init(), it is less relevant
from late_initcall() onwards as we overwrite seeds through
prandom_reseed() anyways with a seed source of higher entropy, that
is, get_random_bytes(). In other words, a exhaustive keysearch of
96 bit would be needed. Now, with the help of this patch, this
state-search increases further to 128 bit. Initialization needs
to make sure that s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15, s4 > 127.
taus88 and taus113 algorithm is also part of GSL. I added a test
case in the next patch to verify internal behaviour of this patch
with GSL and ran tests with the dieharder 3.31.1 RNG test suite:
$ dieharder -g 052 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus88
$ dieharder -g 054 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus113
With this seed configuration, in order to compare both, we get
the following differences:
algorithm taus88 taus113
rands/second [**] 1.61e+08 1.37e+08
sts_serial(4, 1st run) WEAK PASSED
sts_serial(9, 2nd run) WEAK PASSED
rgb_lagged_sum(31) WEAK PASSED
We took out diehard_sums test as according to the authors it is
considered broken and unusable [4]. Despite that and the slight
decrease in performance (which is acceptable), taus113 here passes
all 113 tests (only rgb_minimum_distance_5 in WEAK, the rest PASSED).
In general, taus/taus113 is considered "very good" by the authors
of dieharder [5].
The papers [1][2] states a single warm-up step is sufficient by
running quicktaus once on each state to ensure proper initialization
of ~s_{0}:
Our selection of (s) according to Table 1 of [1] row 1 holds the
condition L - k <= r - s, that is,
(32 32 32 32) - (31 29 28 25) <= (25 27 15 22) - (18 2 7 13)
with r = k - q and q = (6 2 13 3) as also stated by the paper.
So according to [2] we are safe with one round of quicktaus for
initialization. However we decided to include the warm-up phase
of the PRNG as done in GSL in every case as a safety net. We also
use the warm up phase to make the output of the RNG easier to
verify by the GSL output.
In prandom_init(), we also mix random_get_entropy() into it, just
like drivers/char/random.c does it, jiffies ^ random_get_entropy().
random-get_entropy() is get_cycles(). xor is entropy preserving so
it is fine if it is not implemented by some architectures.
Note, this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel, but
rather as a fast PRNG for various randomizations i.e. in the
networking code, or elsewhere for debugging purposes, for example.
[*]: In order to generate some "sort of pseduo-randomness", since
get_random_bytes() is not yet available for us, we use jiffies and
initialize states s1 - s3 with a simple linear congruential generator
(LCG), that is x <- x * 69069; and derive s2, s3, from the 32bit
initialization from s1. So the above quote from [3] accounts only
for the time from core to late initcall, not afterwards.

struct rnd_state got mistakenly pulled into uapi header. It is not
used anywhere and does also not belong there!
Commit 5960164fde ("lib/random32: export pseudo-random number
generator for modules"), the last commit on rnd_state before it
got moved to uapi, says:
This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
Hence, the structure was moved from lib/random32.c to linux/random.h
so that it can be used within modules (FCoE-related code in this
case), but not from user space. However, it seems to have been
mistakenly moved to uapi header through the uapi script. Since no-one
should make use of it from the linux headers, move the structure back
to the kernel for internal use, so that it can be modified on demand.

The Tausworthe PRNG is initialized at late_initcall time. At that time the
entropy pool serving get_random_bytes is not filled sufficiently. This
patch adds an additional reseeding step as soon as the nonblocking pool
gets marked as initialized.
On some machines it might be possible that late_initcall gets called after
the pool has been initialized. In this situation we won't reseed again.
(A call to prandom_seed_late blocks later invocations of early reseed
attempts.)

The current Tausworthe PRNG is never reseeded with truly random data after
the first attempt in late_initcall. As this PRNG is used for some critical
random data as e.g. UDP port randomization we should try better and reseed
the PRNG once in a while with truly random data from get_random_bytes().
When we reseed with prandom_seed we now make also sure to throw the first
output away. This suffices the reseeding procedure.
The delay calculation is based on a proposal from Eric Dumazet.

For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have
a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15.
Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced
a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the
errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions.
However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as:
"return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1),
__seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15
would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually
be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise
an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect
that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured.
Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:
<example>
On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT
and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500)
Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
</example>
As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.
Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

The number of stations in use is kept in the num_rx_pools counter
in the ixgbe_adapter structure. This is in turn used by the queue
allocation scheme to determine how many queues are needed to support
the number of pools in use with the current feature set.
This works as long as the pools are added and destroyed in order
because (num_rx_pools * queues_per_pool) is equal to the last
queue in use by a pool. But as soon as you delete a pool out of
order this is no longer the case. So the above multiplication
allocates to few queues and a pool may reference a ring that has
not been allocated/initialized.
To resolve use the bit mask of in use pools to determine the final
pool being used and allocate enough queues so that we don't
inadvertently remove its queues.

a ::/0 Route Information Option, the rt6_get_route_info() always return
NULL, that means that overriding will not happen, because those default
routers were added without flag RTF_ROUTEINFO in rt6_add_dflt_router().
In order to deal with that condition, we should call rt6_get_dflt_router

It appears this was introduced by a recent commit :

The old condition to perform IP frag was :
tunnel = !!skb->encapsulation;
...
if (!tunnel && proto == IPPROTO_UDP) {
So the new one should be :
udpfrag = !skb->encapsulation && proto == IPPROTO_UDP;
...
if (udpfrag) {
Initialization of udpfrag must be done before call
to ops->callbacks.gso_segment(skb, features), as
skb_udp_tunnel_segment() clears skb->encapsulation
(We want udpfrag to be true for UFO, false for VXLAN)

This happens because xgmac_change_mtu modifies dev->mtu before the

in use which have a buffer size based on the old MTU.
To fix this I moved the change of dev->mtu after the call to

Another modification is required (in xgmac_stop) to ensure that
xgmac_xmit is really not called anymore (xgmac_tx_complete might wake
up the queue again).
I've tested the fix by switching MTU size every second between 600 and
1500 while network traffic was going on. The test box survived a test
of several hours (until I've stopped it) whereas w/o this fix above
panic occurs after several minutes (at most).

For each RX/TX ring and its CQ, allocation is done on a NUMA node that
corresponds to the core that the data structure should operate on.
The assumption is that the core number is reflected by the ring index.
The affected allocations are the ring/CQ data structures,
the TX/RX info and the shared HW/SW buffer.
For TX rings, each core has rings of all UPs.

Currently all TX/RX rings and completion queues are part of the
netdev priv structure and are allocated statically. This patch
will change the priv to hold only arrays of pointers and therefore
all TX/RX rings and completetion queues will be allocated
dynamically. This is in preparation for NUMA aware allocations.

Allow immediate activate of VGT->VST and VST->VGT transitions, without
the need of rebinding in mlx4_master_immediate_activate_vlan_qos().
Also in struct res_qp: add qp parameters (vlan_index,fvl,vlan_cntrol..)
to the saved set, in order to restore when move to VGT.
- Clear at mlx4_RST2INIT_QP_wrapper()
- Save at mlx4_INIT2RTR_QP_wrapper()
- Restore at mlx4_vf_immed_vlan_work_handler()
Update mlx4_vf_immed_vlan_work_handler() to support VGT.

To guarantee that all unused fields in all FW commands for both inboxes
and outboxes are zeroed out, initialize the mailbox buffer to all zeroes.
This is especially important for SRIOV comm-channel virtual commands
(such as QUERY_FUNC_CAP), where if new fields are added to support new
features, the driver can depend on older kernels passing zeroes in these
fields.
In addition to zeroing out the mailbox buffer at allocation time, all
(now unnecessary) calls to memset by the callers of
mlx4_alloc_cmd_mailbox() are removed.

====================
l2 hardware accelerated macvlans
This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the
hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan
net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev.
The patches here have made it through multiple iterations
each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to
push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches
shown here,
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617
Following this implementation I renamed the link type
"VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil
Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload
into the macvlan code. Here,
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658
The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a
few fixes.
If folks find this series acceptable there are a few
items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast
will use the hardware even for local traffic with this
series. It would be best (I think) to use the software
path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe
bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs
PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series
to flush out.
Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding
where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding
capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here.
As always any comments/feedback welcome.
My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link
testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others,
Changelog:
v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV
are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference
should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset
of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used
by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's
to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with
SRIOV enabled was successful.
v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe
fixed error path on dfwd_add_station() in ixgbe
fixed ixgbe to allow SRIOV and accelerated macvlans to
coexist.
v4: Dave caught some strange indentation, fixed it here

Now that l2 acceleration ops are in place from the prior patch,
enable ixgbe to take advantage of these operations. Allow it to
allocate queues for a macvlan so that when we transmit a frame,
we can do the switching in hardware inside the ixgbe card, rather
than in software.

Add a operations structure that allows a network interface to export
the fact that it supports package forwarding in hardware between
physical interfaces and other mac layer devices assigned to it (such
as macvlans). This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac
devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done
in hardware more efficiently.
