TCP connections may be offloaded from nf conntrack to nf flow table.
Offloaded connections are aged after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Once aged, ownership is returned to conntrack with a hard coded pickup
time of 120 seconds, after which the connection may be deleted.
eted. The current aging intervals may be too aggressive for some users.
Provide users with the ability to control the nf flow table offload
aging and pickup time intervals via sysctl parameter as a pre-step for
configuring the nf flow table GC timeout intervals.

Replace nft_ctx_init_from_setattr() by nft_table_lookup().
This patch also disentangles nf_tables_delset() where NFTA_SET_TABLE is
required while nft_ctx_init_from_setattr() allows it to be optional.
From the nf_tables_delset() path, this also allows to set up the context
structure when it is needed.
Removing this helper function saves us 14 LoC, so it is not helping to
consolidate code.

Replace nft_ctx_init_from_elemattr() by nft_table_lookup() and set up

Moreover, nft_ctx_init_from_elemattr() is setting up the context

The supplied buffer for the MAC address might not be aligned. Thus

This is technically a false positive because there is an if statement

statement as an else branch, which makes the code clearer and fixes the

At the same time, move the "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)" into the else if
condition so that the else branch of the preprocessor conditional can
be shared, since there is no build failure with CONFIG_IPV6 disabled.

Starting with IPA v4.5, IP payload checksum offload is implemented
differently.
Prior to v4.5, the IPA hardware appends an rmnet_map_dl_csum_trailer
structure to each packet if checksum offload is enabled in the
download direction (modem->AP). In the upload direction (AP->modem)
a rmnet_map_ul_csum_header structure is prepended before each sent
packet.
Starting with IPA v4.5, checksum offload is implemented using a
single new rmnet_map_v5_csum_header structure which sits between
the QMAP header and the packet data. The same header structure
is used in both directions.
The new header contains a header type (CSUM_OFFLOAD); a checksum
flag; and a flag indicating whether any other headers follow this
one. The checksum flag indicates whether the hardware should
compute (and insert) the checksum on a sent packet. On a received
packet the checksum flag indicates whether the hardware confirms the
checksum value in the payload is correct.

OFLD and CTRL TX queues can be stopped if there is no room in
their DMA rings. If this happens, they're tried to be restarted
later after having made some room in the corresponding ring.
The tasks of restarting these queues were triggered using
tasklets, but they can be replaced for workqueue works, getting
them out of softirq context.
This queues stop/restart probably doesn't happen often and they
can be quite lengthy because they try to send all pending skbs.
Moreover, given that probably the ring is not empty yet, so the
DMA still has work to do, we don't need to be so fast to justify
using tasklets/softirq instead of running in a thread.

This patch aims to improve the situation when reordering and loss are
ocurring in the same flight of packets.
Previously the reordering would first induce a spurious recovery, then
the subsequent ACK may undo the cwnd (based on the timestamps e.g.).
However the current loss recovery does not proceed to invoke
RACK to install a reordering timer. If some packets are also lost, this
may lead to a long RTO-based recovery. An example is
https://groups.google.com/g/bbr-dev/c/OFHADvJbTEI
The solution is to after reverting the recovery, always invoke RACK
to either mount the RACK timer to fast retransmit after the reordering
window, or restarts the recovery if new loss is identified. Hence
it is possible the sender may go from Recovery to Disorder/Open to
Recovery again in one ACK.

====================
NVMeTCP Offload ULP
With the goal of enabling a generic infrastructure that allows NVMe/TCP
offload devices like NICs to seamlessly plug into the NVMe-oF stack, this
patch series introduces the nvme-tcp-offload ULP host layer, which will
be a new transport type called "tcp-offload" and will serve as an
abstraction layer to work with vendor specific nvme-tcp offload drivers.
NVMeTCP offload is a full offload of the NVMeTCP protocol, this includes
both the TCP level and the NVMeTCP level.
The nvme-tcp-offload transport can co-exist with the existing tcp and
other transports. The tcp offload was designed so that stack changes are
kept to a bare minimum: only registering new transports.
All other APIs, ops etc. are identical to the regular tcp transport.
Representing the TCP offload as a new transport allows clear and manageable
differentiation between the connections which should use the offload path
and those that are not offloaded (even on the same device).
The nvme-tcp-offload layers and API compared to nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma:
* NVMe layer: *
[ nvme/nvme-fabrics/blk-mq ]

(nvme API and blk-mq API)

* Vendor agnostic transport layer: *

Performance:
============
With this implementation on top of the Marvell qedn driver (using the
Marvell FastLinQ NIC), we were able to demonstrate the following CPU
utilization improvement:
On AMD EPYC 7402, 2.80GHz, 28 cores:
- For 16K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (50Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 15.1% with NVMeTCP SW to 4.7% with
NVMeTCP offload.
On Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5122 CPU, 3.60GHz, 16 cores:
- For 512K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (25Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 16.3% with NVMeTCP SW to 1.1% with
NVMeTCP offload.
In addition, we were able to demonstrate the following latency improvement:
- For 200K read IOPS (16 jobs, 16 qd, with fio rate limiter):
Improved the average latency from 105 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 39 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.
Improved the 99.99 tail latency from 570 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 91 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.
The end-to-end offload latency was measured from fio while running against
back end of null device.
Upstream plan:
==============
The RFC series "NVMeTCP Offload ULP and QEDN Device Driver"
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210531225222.16992-1-smalin@marvell.com/
was designed in a modular way so that part 1 (nvme-tcp-offload) and
part 2 (qed) are independent and part 3 (qedn) depends on both parts 1+2.
- Part 1 (RFC patch 1-8): NVMeTCP Offload ULP
The nvme-tcp-offload patches, will be sent to
'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.
- Part 2 (RFC patches 9-15): QED NVMeTCP Offload
The qed infrastructure, will be sent to 'netdev@vger.kernel.org'.
Once part 1 and 2 are accepted:
- Part 3 (RFC patches 16-27): QEDN NVMeTCP Offload
The qedn patches, will be sent to 'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.
Marvell is fully committed to maintain, test, and address issues with
the new nvme-tcp-offload layer.
Usage:
======
With the Marvell NVMeTCP offload design, the network-device (qede) and the
offload-device (qedn) are paired on each port - Logically similar to the
RDMA model.
The user will interact with the network-device in order to configure
the ip/vlan. The NVMeTCP configuration is populated as part of the
nvme connect command.
Example:
Assign IP to the net-device (from any existing Linux tool):
ip addr add 100.100.0.101/24 dev p1p1
This IP will be used by both net-device (qede) and offload-device (qedn).
In order to connect from "sw" nvme-tcp through the net-device (qede):
nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn
In order to connect from "offload" nvme-tcp through the offload-device (qedn):
nvme connect -t tcp_offload -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn
An alternative approach, and as a future enhancement that will not impact this
series will be to modify nvme-cli with a new flag that will determine
if "-t tcp" should be the regular nvme-tcp (which will be the default)
or nvme-tcp-offload.
Exmaple:
nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn -[new flag]
Queue Initialization Design:
============================
The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall register with the existing
nvmf_transport_ops (.name = "tcp_offload"), nvme_ctrl_ops and blk_mq_ops.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following ops:
- claim_dev() - in order to resolve the route to the target according to
the paired net_dev.
- create_queue() - in order to create offloaded nvme-tcp queue.
The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall manage all the controller level
functionalities, call claim_dev and based on the return values shall call
the relevant module create_queue in order to create the admin queue and
the IO queues.
IO-path Design:
===============
The nvme-tcp-offload shall work at the IO-level - the nvme-tcp-offload
ULP module shall pass the request (the IO) to the nvme-tcp-offload vendor
driver and later, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver returns the request
completion (the IO completion).
No additional handling is needed in between; this design will reduce the
CPU utilization as we will describe below.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following IO-path ops:
- send_req() - in order to pass the request to the handling of the
offload driver that shall pass it to the vendor specific device.
- poll_queue()
Once the IO completes, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall call
command.done() that will invoke the nvme-tcp-offload ULP layer to
complete the request.
TCP events:
===========
The Marvell FastLinQ NIC HW engine handle all the TCP re-transmissions
and OOO events.
Teardown and errors:
====================
In case of NVMeTCP queue error the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall
call the nvme_tcp_ofld_report_queue_err.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following teardown ops:
- drain_queue()
- destroy_queue()
The Marvell FastLinQ NIC HW engine:
====================================
The Marvell NIC HW engine is capable of offloading the entire TCP/IP
stack and managing up to 64K connections per PF, already implemented and
upstream use cases for this include iWARP (by the Marvell qedr driver)
and iSCSI (by the Marvell qedi driver).
In addition, the Marvell NIC HW engine offloads the NVMeTCP queue layer
and is able to manage the IO level also in case of TCP re-transmissions
and OOO events.
The HW engine enables direct data placement (including the data digest CRC
calculation and validation) and direct data transmission (including data
digest CRC calculation).
The Marvell qedn driver:
========================
The new driver will be added under "drivers/nvme/hw" and will be enabled
by the Kconfig "Marvell NVM Express over Fabrics TCP offload".
As part of the qedn init, the driver will register as a pci device driver
and will work with the Marvell fastlinQ NIC.
As part of the probe, the driver will register to the nvme_tcp_offload
(ULP) and to the qed module (qed_nvmetcp_ops) - similar to other
"qed_*_ops" which are used by the qede, qedr, qedf and qedi device
drivers.

In this patch, we present the IO level functionality.
The nvme-tcp-offload shall work on the IO-level, meaning the
nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall pass the request to the nvme-tcp-offload
vendor driver and shall expect for the request completion.
No additional handling is needed in between, this design will reduce the
CPU utilization as we will describe below.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following IO-path ops:
- send_req - in order to pass the request to the handling of the offload
driver that shall pass it to the vendor specific device
- poll_queue
The vendor driver will manage the context from which the request will be
executed and the request aggregations.
Once the IO completed, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall call
command.done() that shall invoke the nvme-tcp-offload ULP layer for
completing the request.
This patch also add support for the nvme-tcp-offload timeout and
nvme-tcp-offload ASYNC flow.

In this patch we implement queue level functionality.
The implementation is similar to the nvme-tcp module, the main
difference being that we call the vendor specific create_queue op which
creates the TCP connection, and NVMeTPC connection including
icreq+icresp negotiation.
Once create_queue returns successfully, we can move on to the fabrics
connect.
