2023-06-17tcp: enforce receive buffer memory limits by allowing the tcp window to shrinkmfreemon@cloudflare.com
Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be. This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP. To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]. As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode. The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in RFC 7323, appendix F [1]. The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window. In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2] is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result in a zero window and an indefinite wait. In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK), triggering a zero window. But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly encounter the problem described in [1]. RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122, section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5]. This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window Additional information can be found at: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unbounded-memory-usage-by-tcp-for-receive-buffers-and-how-we-fixed-it/ [1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#appendix-F [2] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7323#section-2.4 [3] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1122#page-91 [4] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793 [5] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1323 Signed-off-by: Mike Freemon <mfreemon@cloudflare.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2023-06-15net: ena: Add dynamic recycling mechanism for rx buffersDavid Arinzon
The current implementation allocates page-sized rx buffers. As traffic may consist of different types and sizes of packets, in various cases, buffers are not fully used. This change (Dynamic RX Buffers - DRB) uses part of the allocated rx page needed for the incoming packet, and returns the rest of the unused page to be used again as an rx buffer for future packets. A threshold of 2K for unused space has been set in order to declare whether the remainder of the page can be reused again as an rx buffer. As a page may be reused, dma_sync_single_for_cpu() is added in order to sync the memory to the CPU side after it was owned by the HW. In addition, when the rx page can no longer be reused, it is being unmapped using dma_page_unmap(), which implicitly syncs and then unmaps the entire page. In case the kernel still handles the skbs pointing to the previous buffers from that rx page, it may access garbage pointers, caused by the implicit sync overwriting them. The implicit dma sync is removed by replacing dma_page_unmap() with dma_unmap_page_attrs() with DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag. The functionality is disabled for XDP traffic to avoid handling several descriptors per packet.

2023-06-09net/mlx5: Light probe local SFsShay Drory
In case user wants to configure the SFs, for example: to use only vdpa functionality, he needs to fully probe a SF, configure what he wants, and afterward reload the SF. In order to save the time of the reload, local SFs will probe without any auxiliary sub-device, so that the SFs can be configured prior to its full probe. The defaults of the enable_* devlink params of these SFs are set to false. Usage example: Create SF: $ devlink port add pci/0000:08:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 11 $ devlink port function set pci/0000:08:00.0/32768 \ hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:11 state active Enable ETH auxiliary device: $ devlink dev param set auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 \ name enable_eth value true cmode driverinit Now, in order to fully probe the SF, use devlink reload: $ devlink dev reload auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.1 At this point the user have SF devlink instance with auxiliary device for the Ethernet functionality only.

2023-05-17ice: Remove LAG+SRIOV mutual exclusionDave Ertman
There was a change previously to stop SR-IOV and LAG from existing on the same interface. This was to prevent the violation of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). The method to achieve this was to add a no-op Rx handler onto the netdev when SR-IOV VFs were present, thus blocking bonding, bridging, etc from claiming the interface by adding its own Rx handler. Also, when an interface was added into a aggregate, then the SR-IOV capability was set to false. There are some users that have in house solutions using both SR-IOV and bridging/bonding that this method interferes with (e.g. creating duplicate VFs on the bonded interfaces and failing between them when the interface fails over). It makes more sense to provide the most functionality possible, the restriction on co-existence of these features will be removed. No additional functionality is currently being provided beyond what existed before the co-existence restriction was put into place. It is up to the end user to not implement a solution that would interfere with existing network protocols.

In such cases, it's better to aggressively try to retransmit packets, so it takes routers less time to find a repath with a working link.

2023-04-24net: ethtool: coalesce: try to make user settings stick twiceJakub Kicinski
SET_COALESCE may change operation mode and parameters in one call. Changing operation mode may cause the driver to reset the parameter values to what is a reasonable default for new operation mode. Since driver does not know which parameters come from user and which are echoed back from ->get, driver may ignore the parameters when switching operation modes. This used to be inevitable for ioctl() but in netlink we know which parameters are actually specified by the user. We could inform which parameters were set by the user but this would lead to a lot of code duplication in the drivers. Instead try to call the drivers twice if both mode and params are changed. The set method already checks if any params need updating so in case the driver did the right thing the first time around - there will be no second call to it's ->set method (only an extra call to ->get()). For mlx5 for example before this patch we'd see: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 3 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 16 tx-frames: 32 [...] After the change: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 123 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 123 tx-frames: 32 [...] This only works for netlink, so it's a small discrepancy between netlink and ioctl(). Since we anticipate most users to move to netlink I believe it's worth making their lives easier.

2023-04-22rxrpc: Fix potential race in error handling in afs_make_call()David Howells
If the rxrpc call set up by afs_make_call() receives an error whilst it is transmitting the request, there's the possibility that it may get to the point the rxrpc call is ended (after the error_kill_call label) just as the call is queued for async processing. This could manifest itself as call->rxcall being seen as NULL in afs_deliver_to_call() when it tries to lock the call. Fix this by splitting rxrpc_kernel_end_call() into a function to shut down an rxrpc call and a function to release the caller's reference and calling the latter only when we get to afs_put_call().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2023-04-20 1) Dragos Improves RX page pool, and provides some fixes to his previous series: 1.1) Fix releasing page_pool for striding RQ and legacy RQ nonlinear case 1.2) Hook NAPIs to page pools to gain more performance. 2) From Roi, Some cleanups to TC and eswitch modules. 3) Maher migrates vnic diagnostic counters reporting from debugfs to a dedicated devlink health reporter Maher Says: =========== net/mlx5: Expose vnic diagnostic counters using devlink Currently, vnic diagnostic counters are exposed through the following debugfs: $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/mlx5/0000:08:00.0/esw/vf_0/vnic_diag/ cq_overrun quota_exceeded_command total_q_under_processor_handle invalid_command send_queue_priority_update_flow nic_receive_steering_discard The current design does not allow the hypervisor to view the diagnostic counters of its VFs, in case the VFs get bound to a VM. In other words, the counters are not exposed for representor interfaces. Furthermore, the debugfs design is inconvenient future-wise, in case more counters need to be reported by the driver in the future. As these counters pertain to vNIC health, it is more appropriate to utilize the devlink health reporter to expose them. Thus, this patchest includes the following changes: * Drop the current vnic diagnostic counters debugfs interface. * Add a vnic devlink health reporter for PFs/VFs core devices, which when diagnosed will dump vnic diagnostic counter values that are queried from FW. * Add a vnic devlink health reporter for the representor interface, which serves the same purpose listed in the previous point, in addition to allowing the hypervisor to view its VFs diagnostic counters, even when the VFs are bounded to external VMs. Example of devlink health reporter usage is: $devlink health diagnose pci/0000:08:00.0 reporter vnic vNIC env counters: total_error_queues: 0 send_queue_priority_update_flow: 0 comp_eq_overrun: 0 async_eq_overrun: 0 cq_overrun: 0 invalid_command: 0 quota_exceeded_command: 0 nic_receive_steering_discard: 0 =========== 4) SW steering fixes and improvements Yevgeny Kliteynik Says: ======================= These short patch series are just small fixes / improvements for SW steering: - Patch 1: Fix dumping of legacy modify_hdr in debug dump to align to what is expected by parser - Patch 2: Have separate threshold for ICM sync per ICM type - Patch 3: Add more info to the steering debug dump - Linux version and device name - Patch 4: Keep track of number of buddies that are currently in use per domain per buddy type ======================= * tag 'mlx5-updates-2023-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux: net/mlx5: Update op_mode to op_mod for port selection net/mlx5: E-Switch, Remove unused mlx5_esw_offloads_vport_metadata_set() net/mlx5: E-Switch, Remove redundant dev arg from mlx5_esw_vport_alloc() net/mlx5: Include linux/pci.h for pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn() net/mlx5e: RX, Hook NAPIs to page pools net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP_TX page release for legacy rq nonlinear case net/mlx5e: RX, Fix releasing page_pool pages twice for striding RQ net/mlx5e: Add vnic devlink health reporter to representors net/mlx5: Add vnic devlink health reporter to PFs/VFs Revert "net/mlx5: Expose vnic diagnostic counters for eswitch managed vports" Revert "net/mlx5: Expose steering dropped packets counter" net/mlx5: DR, Add memory statistics for domain object net/mlx5: DR, Add more info in domain dbg dump net/mlx5: DR, Calculate sync threshold of each pool according to its type net/mlx5: DR, Fix dumping of legacy modify_hdr in debug dump ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230421013850.349646-1-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2023-04-14page_pool: allow caching from safely localized NAPIJakub Kicinski
Recent patches to mlx5 mentioned a regression when moving from driver local page pool to only using the generic page pool code. Page pool has two recycling paths (1) direct one, which runs in safe NAPI context (basically consumer context, so producing can be lockless); and (2) via a ptr_ring, which takes a spin lock because the freeing can happen from any CPU; producer and consumer may run concurrently. Since the page pool code was added, Eric introduced a revised version of deferred skb freeing. TCP skbs are now usually returned to the CPU which allocated them, and freed in softirq context. This places the freeing (producing of pages back to the pool) enticingly close to the allocation (consumer). If we can prove that we're freeing in the same softirq context in which the consumer NAPI will run - lockless use of the cache is perfectly fine, no need for the lock. Let drivers link the page pool to a NAPI instance. If the NAPI instance is scheduled on the same CPU on which we're freeing - place the pages in the direct cache. With that and patched bnxt (XDP enabled to engage the page pool, sigh, bnxt really needs page pool work :() I see a 2.6% perf boost with a TCP stream test (app on a different physical core than softirq). The CPU use of relevant functions decreases as expected: page_pool_refill_alloc_cache 1.17% -> 0% _raw_spin_lock 2.41% -> 0.98% Only consider lockless path to be safe when NAPI is scheduled - in practice this should cover majority if not all of steady state workloads. It's usually the NAPI kicking in that causes the skb flush. The main case we'll miss out on is when application runs on the same CPU as NAPI. In that case we don't use the deferred skb free path.

2023-04-10net: provide macros for commonly copied lockless queue stop/wake codeJakub Kicinski
A lot of drivers follow the same scheme to stop / start queues without introducing locks between xmit and NAPI tx completions. I'm guessing they all copy'n'paste each other's code. The original code dates back all the way to e1000 and Linux 2.6.19. Smaller drivers shy away from the scheme and introduce a lock which may cause deadlocks in netpoll. Provide macros which encapsulate the necessary logic. The macros do not prevent false wake ups, the extra barrier required to close that race is not worth it.
