* [PATCH 3/8] csiostor: Chelsio FCoE offload driver submission (sources part 3).
From: Naresh Kumar Inna @ 2012-08-23 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: JBottomley, linux-scsi, dm; +Cc: netdev, naresh, chethan
In-Reply-To: <1345760873-12101-1-git-send-email-naresh@chelsio.com>

This patch contains code for the FC transport template callbacks and the
Mailbox module functionality. The FC transport callbacks include Virtual
Node ports creation and deletion, FC session registration, unregistration and
teardown. The Mailbox module provides services to issue/track/cancel
mailbox commands and wrappers for them.

* [PATCH] net-tcp: fix cwnd reduction for non-sack recovery
From: Yuchung Cheng @ 2012-08-23 17:05 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem, ncardwell, nanditad; +Cc: mattmathis, netdev, Yuchung Cheng

The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets
newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK
signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly
skips counting them for cwnd reduction.

The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted
in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

Fair enough.  However I think at least in this case it sounds like extra
overhead: it should be easy for us to do everything on the CPU where
the packets are being received.

It's quite possible that, like a lot of other drivers/target code, this
doesn't actually make any sense and the right answer is to rip it
out completely.

Is the affinity due to waking up from a network receive event
enough to keep the threads local to the right CPU?

The goal was to make it clear what was required for the PTP flow and what wasn't. Again, ixgbe was my reference in this. Personally, I disagree with the old naming scheme.

This is just git's diff being silly. :) Rather than move igb_get_ts_info up, git thought I moved those other functions down. I wanted igb_get_ts_info to be with the other get functions.

The old name is out of the coding style of igb. Every other function is igb_get_* or igb_set_*, with the exception of igb_ethtool_begin and igb_ethtool_complete. Are you suggesting we add _ethtool to every ethtool function in igb?

Which, this function calls igb_systim_to_hwtstamp anyway, which is global. Also, in a follow-on patch I have coming, igb_ptp_tx_hwtstamp won't even be called in clean_tx_irq, FWIW.

Yes, I'm aware. But, as it stands today, we don't use it for anything else. If the function is feature specific, then we should be calling it out as such.

I'm sorry you feel like this patch doesn't improve the driver. The goal is code cleanup and consistency, both of which I consider to be driver improvements and is why I made the patches.

	Even the ip route used nested objects for metrics.
I preferred not to add fixed structure for them if that is
what you mean. I implemented it in the same way, just like
rtnetlink_put_metrics().

	Any example for what you mean?

	I preferred to avoid them because if the routes
are small number and can be monitored, these entries are
modified very often and to me it looked overkill to generate
notification for every update just to notice that nobody
listens for it.

	BTW, I noticed that the GENL part in iproute is
not separated in common place. Should we create common
place for functions like genl_ctrl_resolve_family and
genl_parse_getfamily ?

	Thanks for the comments!

Hmm, try "make C=2 net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.o"

with :

CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y


I guess you can use plain " *pp = tm->tcpm_next;"

You cant do that without taking extra reference on dev,
and release it in queue_ndisc()

This also will add interesting side effects at device dismantle.

I'm willing to work on a follow on patch to add proper endings to CONFIG_IGB_DCA blocks. The reasoning here was "I'm working on the wrapping for the code here anyway, so I might as well make it consistent."

Personally, I think it is an improvement. If you want to add #endif comments, you may as well be consistent about it.

	For example:

	ciph = (struct ip_vs_iphdr) {
		.len = iph->len + sizeof(_icmph),
		.saddr = iph->saddr,
		.daddr = iph->daddr,
	};
	ciph.protocol = ipv6_find_hdr(skb, &ciph.len, -1, &ciph.fragoffs,
				      &ciph.flags);

	but I'm not sure if the saddr/daddr part compiles.

	ok. But I was referring to this message:

printk(KERN_ERR "IPv6 header not found\n");

	May be it is only in ip_vs_in_icmp_v6, my above
example is for ip_vs_in_icmp_v6, let me know if it
compiles.

	ip_vs_icmp_xmit_v6 expects to see length that
will be made writeable, not exactly offset of header.
May be you can rename the ip_vs_icmp_xmit_v6 argument
from offset to wrtlen, it covers the ports because we
are going to mangle them. Patch 3 should not change
anymore there.

	nf_defrag_ipv6 becomes mandatory for IPVS-IPv6.
Conntrack should be optional.

	What happens with fragments if nf_defrag_ipv6 is
not loaded? IPVS will see original fragments without
reasm ptr? I assume IPVS can see them but can not do
much except to mangle addresses and ports.

	May be just like for IPv4, I think, nf_defrag_ipv6
should be loaded (added as dep) but nf_conntrack_ipv6 should
be required only for FTP as we use some code from there.

	We should avoid it if possible. There can be small
routers that do not want conntrack. It would be better if
IPVS uses some symbol that will cause nf_defrag_ipv6 to
load, now we can add it as dep but what if user does not
load it? nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks.c is very small, I'm not
sure if we have to duplicate it just to cause defrag at
prerouting or even input to work for us in the case without
conntrack. Without this support we can not mangle FTP
payload.

Actually, the name today is wrong. "igb-82580" is inapplicable to I350, I210, and I211 devices. This patch aims to bring some sense to the naming while fixing it. ixgbe implements the same naming scheme.

It already runs in a thread, this is a forced gc because we are over the gc threshold, and this thread deadlocks with itself. I thing Cong Wang is on the right track with his patch. The implementation of this RFC must be fixed.

In addition to this you may wish to check your channel width.  You may 
be using 40MHz channels on 5GHz and 20MHz channels on 2.4GHz.

Some of netlink API comments:

1. My preference is to not make it so granular.
   I.e make things like RTT a structure with value and variance
   rather than lots of independent objects.

2. Make sure netlink API is symmetric. Get should report all
   values and Set should accept the same values (but ignore
   if value can not be modified).

3. Try and make ip command output invertable, as in what you
   print is close to what ip command arguments are.

4. What about monitoring changes?

How about moving the garbage collection to a kernel thread?
Then the write_lock(tb6_lock) in this kernel thread won't cause such
kind of dead lock with other threads.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B ip tcp_metrics
+is used to manipulate entries in the kernel that keep TCP information
+for IPv4 or IPv6 destinations. The entries are created when
+TCP sockets want to share information for destinations and are
+stored in cache keyed by the destination address. For performance
+reasons the cache can not grow above configured limit and the
+older entries are replaced with fresh information, sometimes
+reclaimed and used for new destinations. The kernel never removes
+entries, so they can be flushed only with this tool.
+
+.SS ip tcp_metrics show - show cached entries
+
+.TP
+.BI address " PREFIX " (default)
+IPv4/IPv6 prefix or address. If no prefix is provided all entries are shown.
+
+.SS ip tcp_metrics delete - delete single entry
+
+.TP
+.BI address " ADDRESS " (default)
+IPv4/IPv6 address. The address is a required argument.
+
+.SS ip tcp_metrics flush - flush entries
+This command flushes the entries selected by some criteria.
+
+.PP
+This command has the same arguments as
+.B show.

* [PATCH RFC 1/2] tcp: add generic netlink support for tcp_metrics
From: Julian Anastasov @ 2012-08-23 15:01 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev
In-Reply-To: <1345734105-28328-1-git-send-email-ja@ssi.bg>

	Add support for genl "tcp_metrics". No locking
is changed, only that now we can unlink and delete
entries after grace period. We implement get/del for
single entry and dump to support show/flush filtering
in user space.

* [PATCH RFC 0/2] Interface for TCP Metrics
From: Julian Anastasov @ 2012-08-23 15:01 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev

	This patchset contains 2 patches, one for kernel
and one for iproute2. We add DUMP/GET/DEL support for
genl "tcp_metrics" and minimal support for filtering
by address prefix and family in user space.

	I tested show/del/flush, filtering by family, prefix,
output for metrics such as rtt, rttvar, cwnd, ssthresh (after
modifying route). I didn't tested output for fast open.

	May be some corrections in output can be desired.

	The kernel patch has some parts to check:

- in tcp_metrics_nl_cmd_del I'm trying to flush all addresses
with single request, eg. when no family, address or other
selectors are provided. I use some arbitrary counter sync_count
to force memory to be freed in parts by using synchronize_rcu,
note that we are under genl_mutex, so may be this is bad idea
to delay other genl users? My idea was to avoid many commands
on "flush all", may be we should trigger flush by using some
other mechanism that is pernet? And I don't know how to test
it properly without large cache.

- This function now uses rcu_dereference_protected, someone
should check if these lockdep checks are correct. I enabled
lockdep in config and don't see any warnings.

Will the IPVS usage of local_df, conflict with Patrick's usage?

With Hans'es version of the MTU check, IPVS seems to work again (with
Patricks patches applied).

(Also spotted the GSO problem I had with IPv6 + DR, and send an upstream
fix...)
