net: stmmac: Enhanced addressing mode for DWMAC 4.10
The DWMAC 4.10 supports the same enhanced addressing mode as later
generations. Parse this capability from the hardware feature registers

The address width of the controller can be read from hardware feature
registers much like on XGMAC. Add support for parsing the ADDR64 field
so that the DMA mask can be set accordingly.
This avoids getting swiotlb involved for DMA on Tegra186 and later.
Also make sure that the upper 32 bits of the DMA address are written to
the DMA descriptors when enhanced addressing mode is used. Similarily,
for each channel, the upper 32 bits of the DMA descriptor ring's base
address also need to be programmed to make sure the correct memory can
be fetched when the DMA descriptor ring is located beyond the 32-bit
boundary.

The introduction of this schedule point was done in commit
2ba2506ca7 ("[NET]: Add preemption point in qdisc_run")
at a time the loop was not bounded.
Then later in commit d5b8aa1d24 ("net_sched: fix dequeuer fairness")
we added a limit on the number of packets.
Now is the time to remove the schedule point, since the default
limit of 64 packets matches the number of packets a typical NAPI
poll can process in a row.
This solves a latency problem for most TCP receivers under moderate load :
1) host receives a packet.
NET_RX_SOFTIRQ is raised by NIC hard IRQ handler
2) __do_softirq() does its first loop, handling NET_RX_SOFTIRQ
and calling the driver napi->loop() function
3) TCP stores the skb in socket receive queue:
4) TCP calls sk->sk_data_ready() and wakeups a user thread
waiting for EPOLLIN (as a result, need_resched() might now be true)
5) TCP cooks an ACK and sends it.
6) qdisc_run() processes one packet from qdisc, and sees need_resched(),
this raises NET_TX_SOFTIRQ (even if there are no more packets in
the qdisc)
Then we go back to the __do_softirq() in 2), and we see that new
softirqs were raised. Since need_resched() is true, we end up waking
ksoftirqd in this path :
if (pending) {
if (time_before(jiffies, end) && !need_resched() &&
--max_restart)
goto restart;
wakeup_softirqd();
}
So we have many wakeups of ksoftirqd kernel threads,
and more calls to qdisc_run() with associated lock overhead.
Note that another way to solve the issue would be to change TCP
to first send the ACK packet, then signal the EPOLLIN,
but this changes P99 latencies, as sending the ACK packet
can add a long delay.

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The most commonly called function in the driver is long due for a
rename. The "packed" word is redundant (it doesn't make sense to
transfer an unpacked structure, since that is in CPU endianness yadda
yadda), and the "spi" word is also redundant since argument 2 of the
function is SPI_READ or SPI_WRITE.
As for the sja1105_spi_send_long_packed_buf function, it is only being
used from sja1105_spi.c, so remove its global prototype.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Having a function that takes a variable number of unpacked bytes which
it generically calls an "int" is confusing and makes auditing patches
next to impossible.
We only use spi_send_int with the int sizes of 32 and 64 bits. So just
make the spi_send_int function less generic and replace it with the
appropriate two explicit functions, which can now type-check the int
pointer type.
Note that there is still a small weirdness in the u32 function, which
has to convert it to a u64 temporary. This is because of how the packing
API works at the moment, but the weirdness is at least hidden from
callers of sja1105_xfer_u32 now.

Experimental SMB rootfs support
This patch series enables Linux to mount root file systems over the
network by utilizing SMB protocol.
Upstream commit 8eecd1c2e5 ("cifs: Add support for root file
systems") introduced a new CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option, a virtual device
(Root_CIFS) and a kernel cmdline parameter "cifsroot=" which tells the
kernel to actually mount the root filesystem over a SMB share.
The feature relies on ipconfig to set up the network prior to mounting
the rootfs, so when it is set along with "cifsroot=" parameter:
(1) cifs_root_setup() parses all necessary data out of "cifsroot="
parameter for the init process know how to mount the SMB rootfs
(e.g. SMB server address, mount options).
(2) If DHCP failed for some reason in ipconfig, we keep retrying
forever as we have nowhere to go for NFS or SMB root
filesystems (see PATCH 2/2). Otherwise go to (3).
(3) mount_cifs_root() is then called by mount_root() (ROOT_DEV ==
Root_CIFS), retrieves early parsed data from (1), then attempt to
mount SMB rootfs by CIFSROOT_RETRY_MAX times at most (see PATCH
1/2).
(4) If all attempts failed, fall back to floppy drive, otherwise
continue the boot process with rootfs mounted over a SMB share.
My idea was to keep the same behavior of nfsroot - as it seems to work
for most users so far.

net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit:
0123456789012345
enp131s0f1npf0vf6
enp131s0f1npf0vf22
Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
create custom rules to handle them.
Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
* Type of names:
* b<number> - BCMA bus core number
* c<bus_id> - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
* with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
* o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - on-board device index number
* s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - hotplug slot index number
* x<MAC> - MAC address
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - PCI geographical location
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
* - USB port number chain
* v<slot> - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
* a<vendor><model>i<instance> - Platform bus ACPI instance id
* i<addr>n<phys_port_name> - Netdevsim bus address and port name
One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
Main goal is to:
1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
* emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>:
mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.
