This patch makes TLP to use 1 sec timer by default when RTT is
not available due to SYN/ACK retransmission or SYN cookies.
Prior to this change, the lack of RTT prevents TLP so the first
data packets sent can only be recovered by fast recovery or RTO.
If the fast recovery fails to trigger the RTO is 3 second when
SYN/ACK is retransmitted. With this patch we can trigger fast
recovery in 1sec instead.
Note that we need to check Fast Open more properly. A Fast Open
connection could be (accepted then) closed before it receives
the final ACK of 3WHS so the state is FIN_WAIT_1. Without the
new check, TLP will retransmit FIN instead of SYN/ACK.

Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK
RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect
RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control.
This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform
supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request
sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing
another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock.
For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled
right after the child socket is created and right before the request
sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c)
For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was
sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing
the final ACK an right before the request socket is released.
If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely
on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the
same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values
are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store
TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value
is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt().
One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before
initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore
the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

Version 2 of patch 4 uses the desired indentation in function declarations

Checksum offloading for send and receive is already
supported for layer 3 (IP layer). This patch
adds support for RX and TX hardware checksum offloading
for layer 2 (MAC layer). The hardware calculates the checksum
for IP UDP and TCP packets.
This patch moves the hardware checksum offloading setup
to the set of common functions in qeth_core_main.c.
Layer 2 and layer 3 now simply call the same common functions.
Also note that TX checksum offloading is always enabled.
The device driver relies on the TCP/IP stack to make use of
this feature.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-17
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Shannon provides updates to i40e and i40evf to resolve an issue with the
nvmupdate utility. First renames a variable name to reduce confusion and
to differentiate it from the actual user variable. Then added the ability
to save the admin queue write back descriptor if a caller supplies a
buffer for it to be saved into. Added a new GetStatus command so that
the NVM update tool can query the current status instead of doing fake
write requests to probe for readiness. Added wait states to the NVM
update state machine to signify when waiting for an update operation to
finish, whether we are in the middle of a set of write operations, or we
are now idle but waiting. Then added a facility to run admin queue
commands through the NVM update utility in order to allow the update
tools to interact with the firmware and do special commands needed for
updates and configuration changes. Also added a facility to recover the
result of a previously run admin queue command.

The Hisilicon Network Subsystem is a long term evolution IP which is
supposed to be used in Hisilicon ICT SoC. The IP, which is called hns
for short, is a TCP/IP acceleration engine, which can directly decode
TCP/IP stream and distribute them to different ring buffers.
HNS can be configured to work on different mode for different scenario.
This patch make use only some of the mode to make it as standard
ethernet NIC. The other mode will be added soon.
The whole function has 4 kernel sub-modules:
hnae: the HNS acceleration engine framework. It provides a abstract
interface between the engine and the upper layers which make use of the
engine by ring buffer.
hns_enet_drv: a standard ethernet driver that base on the ring buffer.
hns_dsaf: one of the implementation of HNS acceleration engine, which is
applied on Hililicon hip05, Hi1610 and other later-on SoCs
hns_mdio: the mdio control to the PHY, used by acceleration engine

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Add support for the ethtool rx-frames coalescing parameter which allows
defining the number of RX interrupts per frames received. The RDMA
engine supports a configurable timeout with a resolution of
approximately 8.192 us.
We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would
fire for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE
interrupt purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Configuring the ethtool tx-frames property, which translates into N
packets before a TX interrupt is the simplest configuration scheme
because it requires no locking neither at the softare nor hardware
level, and is completely indepedent from the link speed. Since ethtool
does not allow per-tx queue coalescing parameters, we apply the same
setting to any transmit queue.
We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would fire
for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE interrupt
purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1, but offers
interrupt coalescing when the value is > 1.
Since the HW is configured to generate an interrupt when the ring
becomes emtpy, we have to deny any timeout/timer settings coming from
user-space to indicate we can only generate an interrupt very <N>
packets.
While we are at it, fix the DMA_INTR_THRESHOLD_MASK value which was off
by one bit (0xff vs. 0x1ff).

bpf: performance improvements
v1->v2: dropped redundant iff_up check in patch 2
At plumbers we discussed different options on how to get rid of skb_clone
from bpf_clone_redirect(), the patch 2 implements the best option.
Patch 1 adds 'integrated exts' to cls_bpf to improve performance by
combining simple actions into bpf classifier.

Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting
it to RX or TX of destination netdev.
Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning.
Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs.
One host is doing line rate pktgen.
Another host is configured as:
$ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop
so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1
The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program
that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop
which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps
and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as:
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \
bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1
performance is 2.5 Mpps
To summarize:
u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps
u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps
cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps
For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps
and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps

Optimize this use case and let cls_bpf return both classid and action.
For backwards compatibility reasons enable this feature under

Then more interesting programs like the following are easier to write:

* and drop all other packets

switch (skb->protocol) {

In commit b73c3d0e4f ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf
on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets.
We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets
of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to
also use skb->hash to perform slave selection.
Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did
in commit 265f94ff54 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing
advice") for established sockets.
This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black
holes, even at connection establish phase.
