2015-05-27tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()Eric Dumazet
A long standing problem on busy servers is the tiny available TCP port range (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) and the default sequential allocation of source ports in connect() system call. If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow, and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of space to find a slot. In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect() so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind() users. We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range, lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot. This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range is even, ie if start/end values have different parity. Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to 32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000) There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

2015-05-22pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.shJesper Dangaard Brouer
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs. Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many kernel threads to activate. Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU, which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the kernel thread. For best scalability people are also encourage to map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number. Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4 Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX -i : ($DEV) output interface/device (required) -s : ($PKT_SIZE) packet size -d : ($DEST_IP) destination IP -m : ($DST_MAC) destination MAC-addr -t : ($THREADS) threads to start -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB -b : ($BURST) HW level bursting of SKBs -v : ($VERBOSE) verbose -x : ($DEBUG) debug Removing pktgen.conf-2-1 and pktgen.conf-2-2 as these examples should be covered now.

2015-05-19tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallbackDaniel Borkmann
This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f516 ("net: allow setting ecn via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3c9 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

2015-05-15Documentation: dt: mtd: replace "nor-jedec" binding with "jedec, spi-nor"Brian Norris
In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec" binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however objections have come up since then as part of this discussion: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074 It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR flash. This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change the naming. At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name. Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the documentation.

2015-05-11bonding: Allow userspace to set actors' macaddr in an AD-system.Mahesh Bandewar
In an AD system, the communication between actor and partner is the business between these two entities. In the current setup anyone on the same L2 can "guess" the LACPDU contents and then possibly send the spoofed LACPDUs and trick the partner causing connectivity issues for the AD system. This patch allows to use a random mac-address obscuring it's identity making it harder for someone in the L2 is do the same thing. This patch allows user-space to choose the mac-address for the AD-system. This mac-address can not be NULL or a Multicast. If the mac-address is set from user-space; kernel will honor it and will not overwrite it. In the absence (value from user space); the logic will default to using the masters' mac as the mac-address for the AD-system. It can be set using example code below - # modprobe bonding mode=4 # sys_mac_addr=$(printf '%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' \ $(( (RANDOM & 0xFE) | 0x02 )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF ))) # echo $sys_mac_addr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_system # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves ... # ip link set bond0 up Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> [jt: fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

For example, pty slave | input worker | pty master | | | | n_tty_read() pty_write() | | input avail? no add data | | sleep schedule worker --->| | . |---> flush_to_ldisc() | . pty_close() | fill read buffer | . wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| . | read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes |<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker | | **** New read() before worker starts **** | | n_tty_read() | | input avail? no | | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes | | return -EIO Several conditions are required to trigger this race: 1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits 2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer is empty 3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed more input However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end are visible to the pty master end immediately. Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader. 1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when TTY_OTHER_DONE is set. 2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. 3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to exit). Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

2015-05-09pktgen: introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'Alexei Starovoitov
Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit(). Default mode is called 'start_xmit'. It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before using it for other rx benchmarking. Sample script 'pktgen.sh': \#!/bin/bash function pgset() { local result echo $1 > $PGDEV result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"` if [ "$result" = "" ]; then cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result: fi } [ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 DEV" && exit 1 ETH=$1 PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 pgset "rem_device_all" pgset "add_device $ETH" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive" pgset "pkt_size 60" pgset "dst 198.18.0.1" pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff" pgset "count 10000000" pgset "burst 32" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop" pgset "start" echo "Done" cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH Usage: $ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2 ...

2015-05-06can: janz-ican3: add support for CAL/CANopen firmwareAndreas Gröger
In our department we are using some older Janz ICAN3-modules in our dekstop pcs. There we have slightly different carrier boards than the janz-cmodio supported in the kernel sources, called CAN-PCI2 with two submodules. But the pci configuration regions are identical. So extending the supported pci devices to the corresponding device ids is sufficient to get the drivers working. * The old ICAN3-modules with firmware 1.28 need more then 250ms for the restart after reset. I've increased the timeout to 500ms. * The janz_ican3 module uses the raw can services of the Janz-firmware, this means firmware must be ICANOS/2. Our ICAN3-modules are equipped with CAL/CANopen-firmware, so I must use the appropriate commands for the layer management services. Te driver detects the firmware after module reset and selects the commands matching the firmware. This affects the bus on/off-command (ican3_set_bus_state) and the configuration of the bittiming (ican3_set_bittiming). For better diagnostics the detected firmware string is presented as sysfs attribute (fwinfo).

This may be needed for bridge setups used for network troubleshooting or any other scenario where forwarding of LLDP frames is desired (e.g. bridge connecting a virtual machine to real switch transmitting LLDP frames that virtual machine needs to receive). Tested on a simple bridge setup with two interfaces and host transmitting LLDP frames on one side of this bridge (used lldpd).

The L3 Error handling on OMAP5 for the most part is very similar to that of OMAP4, and had leveraged common data structures and register layout definitions so far. Upon closer inspection, there are a few minor differences causing an incorrect decoding and reporting of the master NIU upon an error: 1. The L3_TARG_STDERRLOG_MSTADDR.STDERRLOG_MSTADDR occupies 11 bits on OMAP5 as against 8 bits on OMAP4, with the master NIU connID encoded in the 6 MSBs of the STDERRLOG_MSTADDR field. 2. The CLK3 FlagMux component has 1 input source on OMAP4 and 3 input sources on OMAP5. The common DEBUGSS source is at a different input on each SoC. Fix the above issues by using a OMAP5-specific compatible property and using SoC-specific data where there are differences.

2015-05-03ipv6: Flow label state rangesTom Herbert
This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges: 0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split can be disbaled by systcl. Background: IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP. Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide with a stateful one. Attempts to split the flow label space were rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict. This patch splits the flow label space and should give us a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets. This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers. Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with scaled testing).
