rhashtable: Handle table allocation failure during insertion
v2 -
Added Ack to patch 2.
Fixed RCU annotation in code path executed by rehasher by using
rht_dereference_bucket.
v1 -
This series tackles the problem of table allocation failures during
insertion. The issue is that we cannot vmalloc during insertion.
This series deals with this by introducing nested tables.
The first two patches removes manual hash table walks which cannot
work on a nested table.
The final patch introduces nested tables.
I've tested this with test_rhashtable and it appears to work.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on
insertion. As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our
hash table nested. That is, we allocate single pages at each level
and reach our desired table size by nesting them.
When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated
at the top-level. Lower levels are allocated on demand during
insertion. Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two
(non-consecutive) pages are needed.
After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in
order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible. Also,
the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table. If we
detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted
and a new rehash will be scheduled.

There are two problems with the function tipc_sk_reinit. Firstly
it's doing a manual walk over an rhashtable. This is broken as
an rhashtable can be resized and if you manually walk over it
during a resize then you may miss entries.
Secondly it's missing memory barriers as previously the code used
spinlocks which provide the barriers implicitly.
This patch fixes both problems.

The function glock_hash_walk walks the rhashtable by hand. This
is broken because if it catches the hash table in the middle of
a rehash, then it will miss entries.
This patch replaces the manual walk by using the rhashtable walk
interface.

====================
net/sched: Reflect HW offload status in classifiers
Currently there is no way of querying whether a filter is
offloaded to HW or not when using "both" policy (where none
of skip_sw or skip_hw flags are set by user-space).
Added two new flags, "in hw" and "not in hw" such that user space
can determine if a filter is actually offloaded to hw. The "in hw"
UAPI semantics was chosen so it's similar to the "skip hw" flag logic.
If none of these two flags are set, this signals running
over older kernel.
As an example, add one vlan push + fwd rule, one matchall rule and one u32 rule
without any flags, and another vlan + fwd skip_sw rule, such that the different TC
classifier attempt to offload all of them -- all over mlx5 SRIOV VF rep:
flower skip_sw indev eth2_0 src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50 dst_mac e4:1d:2d:a5:f3:9d
action vlan push id 52 action mirred egress redirect dev eth2
flower indev eth2_0 src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50 dst_mac e4:11:22:33:44:51
action vlan push id 53 action mirred egress redirect dev eth2
u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 action drop
Since that VF rep doesn't offload matchall/u32 and can currently offload
only one vlan push rule we expect three of the rules not to be offloaded:
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1
filter protocol ip pref 99 u32 fh 800::1 order 1 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 800:1 not in_hw
match c0a80100/ffffff00 at 12
action order 1: gact action drop
random type none pass val 0
index 8 ref 1 bind 1
filter protocol all pref 49150 matchall
filter protocol all pref 49150 matchall handle 0x1
not in_hw
action order 1: mirred (Egress Mirror to device veth1) pipe
index 27 ref 1 bind 1
filter protocol ip pref 49151 flower
filter protocol ip pref 49151 flower handle 0x1
indev eth2_0
dst_mac e4:11:22:33:44:51
src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50
eth_type ipv4
not in_hw
action order 1: vlan push id 53 protocol 802.1Q priority 0 pipe
index 20 ref 1 bind 1
action order 2: mirred (Egress Redirect to device eth2) stolen
index 26 ref 1 bind 1
filter protocol ip pref 49152 flower
filter protocol ip pref 49152 flower handle 0x1
indev eth2_0
dst_mac e4:1d:2d:a5:f3:9d
src_mac e4:11:22:33:44:50
eth_type ipv4

v3 --> v4 changes:
- removed extra parenthesis (Dave)
v2 --> v3 changes:
- fixed the matchall dump flags patch to do proper checks (Jakub)
- added the same proper checks to flower where they were missing
- that flower patch was added as #1 and hence all the other patches are offed-by-one
v1 --> v2 changes:
- applied feedback from Jakub and Dave -- where none of the skip flags were set,
the suggested approach didn't allow user space to distringuish between old kernel
to a case when offloading to HW worked fine.

PTP attribute handling cleanup
PTP core was creating some attributes, such as "period" and "fifo", and the
entire "pins" attribute group, after creating class deevice, which creates
a race for userspace: uevent may arrive before all attributes are created.
This series of patches switches PTP to use is_visible() to control
visibility of attributes in a group, and device_create_with_groups() to
ensure that attributes are created before we notify userspace of a new
device.

All rx and rx netdev interrupts are handled by respectively
by mlx4_en_rx_irq() and mlx4_en_tx_irq() which simply schedule a NAPI.
But mlx4_eq_int() also fires a tasklet to service all items that were
queued via mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), but this handler was not called
unless user cqe was handled.
This is very confusing, as "mpstat -I SCPU ..." show huge number of
tasklet invocations.
This patch saves this overhead, by carefully firing the tasklet directly
from mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet(), removing four atomic operations per IRQ.

10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-02-16
This series contains updates to ixgbe only.
Tony updates the driver to advertise 2.5Gb and 5.0Gb if the adapter
supports it.
Stephen Hemminger renames our dcbnl_ops since it is global to
ixgbe_dcbnl_ops to avoid namespace issues.
Mark updates the driver version based on the recent changes.
Alex has the remainder of the changes, starting with consolidating
functions that represent logical steps in the receive process so we can
later update them more easily (and align with igb). Modify the receive
path to only synchronize the length of the frame versus the entire buffer.
Provided performance improvements by adding support for
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING. Also made additional
performance gains by batching the page count updates instead of doing
them one at a time. Adjusted the receive path to use 3k buffers with
8k backing them in order to support build_skb with jumbo frames. Made
additional driver improvements by using the length of the packet instead
of the DD status to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be
processed, which cuts down on reads. To reduce code duplication, pulled
apart the receive path into separate functions. Added support for
providing a buffer with headroom and tailroom to allow for shared info
for NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN.

This patch makes it so that we don't need to bother with clearing the
memory out for the descriptor rings. The general idea is to only free
buffers associated with buffers in use which are located between the
next_to_clean and next_to_use or next_to_alloc values. Everything outside
of those regions can be safely ignored since they should have no buffers
associated with them.
The advantage to doing things this way is that is should speed up bring-up
and tear-down of the rings. Specifically we can avoid the 512 or more
cycles required to memset the rings in tear-down. In the bring-up phase we
then clear the memory as a part of initialization. The general idea is
that the clearing in initialization can act as a prefetch of sorts for the
buffer info structures so they are in the local CPU when we go to populate
them. This should help to improve overall time needed to perform a
suspend/resume.

This patch adds build_skb support to the Rx path. There are several
advantages to this change.
1. It avoids the memcpy and skb->head allocation for small packets which
improves performance by about 5% in my tests.
2. It avoids the memcpy, skb->head allocation, and eth_get_headlen
for larger packets improving performance by about 10% in my tests.
3. For VXLAN packets it allows the full header to be in skb->data which
improves the performance by as much as 30% in some of my tests.

Since there are potential drawbacks to the new Rx allocation approach I
thought it best to add a "chicken bit" so that we can turn the feature off
if in the event that a problem is found.
It also provides a means of validating the legacy Rx path in the event that
we are forced to fall back. At some point in the future when we are
convinced we don't need it anymore we might be able to drop the legacy-rx
flag.

This patch adds support for providing a buffer with headroom and tailroom
to allow for shared info, NET_SKB_PAD, and NET_IP_ALIGN. With this
combined with the DMA changes we can start using build_skb to build frames
around an incoming Rx buffer instead of having to memcpy the headers.

We are going to be expanding the number of Rx paths in the driver. Instead
of duplicating all that code I am pulling it apart into separate functions
so that we don't have so much code duplication.

This change makes it so that we use the length of the packet instead of the
DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed.
The obvious advantage is that it cuts down on reads as we don't really even
need the DD bit if going from a 0 to a non-zero value on size is enough to
inform us that the packet has been completed.

In order to support build_skb with jumbo frames it will be necessary to use
3K buffers for the Rx path with 8K pages backing them. This is needed on
architectures that implement 4K pages because we can't support 2K buffers
plus padding in a 4K page.
In the case of systems that support page sizes larger than 4K the 3K
attribute will only be applied to FCoE as we can fall back to using just 2K
buffers and adding the padding.

Batch the page count updates instead of doing them one at a time. By doing
this we can improve the overall performance as the atomic increment
operations can be expensive due to the fact that on x86 they are locked
operations which can cause stalls. By doing bulk updates we can
consolidate the stall which should help to improve the overall receive
performance.

This patch adds support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and
DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING. By enabling both of these for the Rx path we are
able to see performance improvements on architectures that implement either
one due to the fact that page mapping and unmapping only has to sync what
is actually being used instead of the entire buffer. In addition by
enabling the weak ordering attribute enables a performance improvement for
architectures that can associate a memory ordering with a DMA buffer such
as Sparc.

On some platforms, syncing a buffer for DMA is expensive. Rather than
sync the whole 2K receive buffer, only synchronise the length of the
frame, which will typically be the MTU, or a much smaller TCP ACK.

This patch consolidates the code for the ixgbe driver so that it is more
inline with what is already in igb. The general idea is to just
consolidate functions that represent logical steps in the Rx process so we
can later update them more easily.
