Linus Torvalds 43224b96af Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:

   - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel

   - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
     disabled at runtime.

   - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
     offset updates smarter

   - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
     problems in sched/perf

   - Some more leap second tweaks

   - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem

   - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
     introducing the necessary infrastructure

   - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()

   - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates

  The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
  depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
  and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.  The y2038
  changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
  boot/persistant clock"

WANG Cong 86e363dc3b net_sched: invoke ->attach() after setting dev->qdisc
For mq qdisc, we add per tx queue qdisc to root qdisc
for display purpose, however, that happens too early,
before the new dev->qdisc is finally set, this causes
q->list points to an old root qdisc which is going to be
freed right before assigning with a new one.

Fix this by moving ->attach() after setting dev->qdisc.

For the record, this fixes the following crash:

Florian Westphal e578d9c025 net: sched: use counter to break reclassify loops
Seems all we want here is to avoid endless 'goto reclassify' loop.
tc_classify_compat even resets this counter when something other
than TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY is returned, so this skb-counter doesn't
break hypothetical loops induced by something other than perpetual
TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY return values.

skb_act_clone is now identical to skb_clone, so just use that.

Tested with following (bogus) filter:
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: \
 protocol ip u32 match u32 0 0 police rate 10Kbit burst \
 64000 mtu 1500 action reclassify

Cong Wang 1e052be69d net_sched: destroy proto tp when all filters are gone
Kernel automatically creates a tp for each
(kind, protocol, priority) tuple, which has handle 0,
when we add a new filter, but it still is left there
after we remove our own, unless we don't specify the
handle (literally means all the filters under
the tuple). For example this one is left:

  # tc filter show dev eth0
  filter parent 8001: protocol arp pref 49152 basic

The user-space is hard to clean up these for kernel
because filters like u32 are organized in a complex way.
So kernel is responsible to remove it after all filters
are gone.  Each type of filter has its own way to
store the filters, so each type has to provide its
way to check if all filters are gone.

Jiri Pirko d8b9605d26 net: sched: fix skb->protocol use in case of accelerated vlan path
tc code implicitly considers skb->protocol even in case of accelerated
vlan paths and expects vlan protocol type here. However, on rx path,
if the vlan header was already stripped, skb->protocol contains value
of next header. Similar situation is on tx path.

So for skbs that use skb->vlan_tci for tagging, use skb->vlan_proto instead.

Eric Dumazet f2600cf02b net: sched: avoid costly atomic operation in fq_dequeue()
Standard qdisc API to setup a timer implies an atomic operation on every
packet dequeue : qdisc_unthrottled()

It turns out this is not really needed for FQ, as FQ has no concept of
global qdisc throttling, being a qdisc handling many different flows,
some of them can be throttled, while others are not.

Fix is straightforward : add a 'bool throttle' to
qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns(), and remove calls to qdisc_unthrottled()
in sch_fq.

John Fastabend 6401585366 net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlen
This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers
and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue().

The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into
the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By
handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having
to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in.

It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely
but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future
patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would
avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the
Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead
of 128+32.

John Fastabend 22e0f8b932 net: sched: make bstats per cpu and estimator RCU safe
In order to run qdisc's without locking statistics and estimators
need to be handled correctly.

To resolve bstats make the statistics per cpu. And because this is
only needed for qdiscs that are running without locks which is not
the case for most qdiscs in the near future only create percpu
stats when qdiscs set the TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag.

Next because estimators use the bstats to calculate packets per
second and bytes per second the estimator code paths are updated
to use the per cpu statistics.

We can see that timers get migrated into a single cpu, presumably idle
at the time timers are set up.
Then all qdisc dequeues run from this cpu and huge lock contention
happens. This single cpu is stuck in softirq mode and cannot dequeue
fast enough.

    39.24%  [kernel]          [k] _raw_spin_lock
     2.65%  [kernel]          [k] netem_enqueue

     1.45%  [kernel]          [k] _raw_spin_lock_bh

By pinning qdisc timers on the cpu running the qdisc, we respect proper
XPS setting and remove this lock contention.

     5.84%  [kernel]          [k] netem_enqueue
     4.83%  [kernel]          [k] _raw_spin_lock
     2.92%  [kernel]          [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string

	netem, cbq, fq, hfsc, tbf, htb.

Florian Westphal 6e765a009a net_sched: drr: warn when qdisc is not work conserving
The DRR scheduler requires that items on the active list are work
conserving, i.e. do not hold on to skbs for throttling purposes, etc.
Attaching e.g. tbf renders DRR useless because all other classes on the
active list are delayed as well.

So, warn users that this configuration won't work as expected; we
already do this in couple of other qdiscs, see e.g.

commit b00355db3f
('pkt_sched: sch_hfsc: sch_htb: Add non-work-conserving warning handler')

The 'const' change is needed to avoid compiler warning ("discards 'const'
qualifier from pointer target type").

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls

Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the

stephen hemminger 6da7c8fcbc qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline
By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default
for all devices. But we have better choices now.

This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl.
This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices
without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow
an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default
qdisc.

This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since
it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly
use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl
is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast

Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 8a8e3d84b1 net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling
commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "linklayer atm" handling.

 tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm

The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table
which is send to the kernel.  No direct parameter were
transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting.

The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
removed the use of the rate table system.

To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects
the linklayer by parsing the rate table.  It also supports future
versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the
kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in
struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but
only using the lower 4 bits of this field.

Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because
at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that
several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM
detect.  Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at
1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have
been more broken than we first realized.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Eric Dumazet 1abbe1394a pkt_sched: avoid requeues if possible
With BQL being deployed, we can more likely have following behavior :

We dequeue a packet from qdisc in dequeue_skb(), then we realize target
tx queue is in XOFF state in sch_direct_xmit(), and we have to hold the
skb into gso_skb for later.

This shows in stats (tc -s qdisc dev eth0) as requeues.

Problem of these requeues is that high priority packets can not be
dequeued as long as this (possibly low prio and big TSO packet) is not
removed from gso_skb.

At 1Gbps speed, a full size TSO packet is 500 us of extra latency.

In some cases, we know that all packets dequeued from a qdisc are
for a particular and known txq :

- If device is non multi queue
- For all MQ/MQPRIO slave qdiscs

This patch introduces a new qdisc flag, TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE to mark
this capability, so that dequeue_skb() is allowed to dequeue a packet
only if the associated txq is not stopped.

This indeed reduce latencies for high prio packets (or improve fairness
with sfq/fq_codel), and almost remove qdisc 'requeues'.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

David S. Miller 1b34ec43c9 pkt_sched: Stop using NLA_PUT*().
These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

Eric Dumazet fa0f5aa743 net_sched: qdisc_alloc_handle() can be too slow
When trying to allocate ~32768 qdiscs using autohandle mechanism, we can
fill the space managed by kernel (handles in [8000-FFFF]:0000 range)

But O(N^2) qdisc_alloc_handle() loops 0x10000 times instead of 0x8000

time tc add qdisc add dev eth0 parent 10:7fff pfifo limit 10
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
real    1m54.826s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.004s

INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 0 (t=60000 jiffies)

Half number of loops, and add a cond_resched() call.
We hold rtnl at this point.

Greg Rose c7ac8679be rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.

Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.
