On some SoCs (e.g. BCM4908, BCM631[345]8) SF2 has an integrated
crossbar. It allows connecting its selected external ports to internal
ports. It's used by vendors to handle custom Ethernet setups.
BCM4908 has following 3x2 crossbar. On Asus GT-AC5300 rgmii is used for
connecting external BCM53134S switch. GPHY4 is usually used for WAN
port. More fancy devices use SerDes for 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

This is because tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() does not use standard

because tp->lost_out == tp->retrans_out
Lets make tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack() use standard rtx logic,
by using tcp_mark_skb_lost() on the skb thats needs to be
sent again.
Not this raised a warning in tcp_fastretrans_alert() during my tests

Main issue is that TCP stack has a logic preventing a packet
being retransmit if the prior clone has not yet been
orphaned or freed.
This logic came with commit 1f3279ae0c ("tcp: avoid
retransmits of TCP packets hanging in host queues")
Thankfully, in the case skb_still_in_host_queue() detects
the initial clone is still in flight, it can use TSQ logic
that will eventually retry later, at the moment the clone

mlxsw: Implement sampling using mirroring
So far, sampling was implemented using a dedicated sampling mechanism
that is available on all Spectrum ASICs. Spectrum-2 and later ASICs
support sampling by mirroring packets to the CPU port with probability.
This method has a couple of advantages compared to the legacy method:
* Extra metadata per-packet: Egress port, egress traffic class, traffic
class occupancy and end-to-end latency
* Ability to sample packets on egress / per-flow as opposed to only
ingress
This series should not result in any user-visible changes and its aim is
to convert Spectrum-2 and later ASICs to perform sampling by mirroring
to the CPU port with probability. Future submissions will expose the
additional metadata and enable sampling using more triggers (e.g.,
egress).
Series overview:
Patches #1-#3 extend the SPAN (mirroring) module to accept new
parameters required for sampling. See individual commit messages for
detailed explanation.
Patch #4-#5 split sampling support between Spectrum-1 and later ASIC while
still using the legacy method for all ASIC generations.
Patch #6 converts Spectrum-2 and later ASICs to perform sampling by
mirroring to the CPU port with probability.

When packets are mirrored to the CPU, the trap identifier with which the
packets are trapped is determined according to the session identifier of
the SPAN agent performing the mirroring. Packets that are trapped for
the same logical reason (e.g., buffer drops) should use the same session
identifier.
Currently, a single session is implicitly supported (identifier 0) and
is used for packets that are mirrored to the CPU due to buffer drops
(e.g., early drop).
Subsequent patches are going to mirror packets to the CPU due to
sampling, which will require a different session identifier.
Prepare for that by making the session identifier an attribute of the
SPAN agent.

nexthop: Resilient next-hop groups
At this moment, there is only one type of next-hop group: an mpath group.
Mpath groups implement the hash-threshold algorithm, described in RFC
2992[1].
To select a next hop, hash-threshold algorithm first assigns a range of
hashes to each next hop in the group, and then selects the next hop by
comparing the SKB hash with the individual ranges. When a next hop is
removed from the group, the ranges are recomputed, which leads to
reassignment of parts of hash space from one next hop to another. RFC 2992
illustrates it thus:
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
+-------+-+-----+---+---+-----+-+-------+
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 |
+---------+---------+---------+---------+
Before and after deletion of next hop 3
under the hash-threshold algorithm.
Note how next hop 2 gave up part of the hash space in favor of next hop 1,
and 4 in favor of 5. While there will usually be some overlap between the
previous and the new distribution, some traffic flows change the next hop
that they resolve to.
If a multipath group is used for load-balancing between multiple servers,
this hash space reassignment causes an issue that packets from a single
flow suddenly end up arriving at a server that does not expect them, which
may lead to TCP reset.
If a multipath group is used for load-balancing among available paths to
the same server, the issue is that different latencies and reordering along
the way causes the packets to arrive in the wrong order.
Resilient hashing is a technique to address the above problem. Resilient
next-hop group has another layer of indirection between the group itself
and its constituent next hops: a hash table. The selection algorithm uses a
straightforward modulo operation on the SKB hash to choose a hash table
bucket, then reads the next hop that this bucket contains, and forwards
traffic there.
This indirection brings an important feature. In the hash-threshold
algorithm, the range of hashes associated with a next hop must be
continuous. With a hash table, mapping between the hash table buckets and
the individual next hops is arbitrary. Therefore when a next hop is deleted
the buckets that held it are simply reassigned to other next hops:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|1|1|1|1|2|2|2|2|3|3|3|3|4|4|4|4|5|5|5|5|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
v v v v
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|1|1|1|1|2|2|2|2|1|2|4|5|4|4|4|4|5|5|5|5|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Before and after deletion of next hop 3
under the resilient hashing algorithm.
When weights of next hops in a group are altered, it may be possible to
choose a subset of buckets that are currently not used for forwarding
traffic, and use those to satisfy the new next-hop distribution demands,
keeping the "busy" buckets intact. This way, established flows are ideally
kept being forwarded to the same endpoints through the same paths as before
the next-hop group change.
This patch set adds the implementation of resilient next-hop groups.
In a nutshell, the algorithm works as follows. Each next hop has a number
of buckets that it wants to have, according to its weight and the number of
buckets in the hash table. In case of an event that might cause bucket
allocation change, the numbers for individual next hops are updated,
similarly to how ranges are updated for mpath group next hops. Following
that, a new "upkeep" algorithm runs, and for idle buckets that belong to a
next hop that is currently occupying more buckets than it wants (it is
"overweight"), it migrates the buckets to one of the next hops that has
fewer buckets than it wants (it is "underweight"). If, after this, there
are still underweight next hops, another upkeep run is scheduled to a
future time.
Chances are there are not enough "idle" buckets to satisfy the new demands.
The algorithm has knobs to select both what it means for a bucket to be
idle, and for whether and when to forcefully migrate buckets if there keeps
being an insufficient number of idle ones.
To illustrate the usage, consider the following commands:
# ip nexthop add id 1 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 2 via 192.0.2.3 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 10 group 1/2 type resilient \
buckets 8 idle_timer 60 unbalanced_timer 300
The last command creates a resilient next-hop group. It will have 8
buckets, each bucket will be considered idle when no traffic hits it for at
least 60 seconds, and if the table remains out of balance for 300 seconds,
it will be forcefully brought into balance.
If not present in netlink message, the idle timer defaults to 120 seconds,
and there is no unbalanced timer, meaning the group may remain unbalanced
indefinitely. The value of 120 is the default in Cumulus implementation of
resilient next-hop groups. To a degree the default is arbitrary, the only
value that certainly does not make sense is 0. Therefore going with an
existing deployed implementation is reasonable.
Unbalanced time, i.e. how long since the last time that all nexthops had as
many buckets as they should according to their weights, is reported when
the group is dumped:
# ip nexthop show id 10
id 10 group 1/2 type resilient buckets 8 idle_timer 60 unbalanced_timer 300 unbalanced_time 0
When replacing next hops or changing weights, if one does not specify some
parameters, their value is left as it was:
# ip nexthop replace id 10 group 1,2/2 type resilient
# ip nexthop show id 10
id 10 group 1,2/2 type resilient buckets 8 idle_timer 60 unbalanced_timer 300 unbalanced_time 0
It is also possible to do a dump of individual buckets (and now you know
why there were only 8 of them in the example above):
# ip nexthop bucket show id 10
id 10 index 0 idle_time 5.59 nhid 1
id 10 index 1 idle_time 5.59 nhid 1
id 10 index 2 idle_time 8.74 nhid 2
id 10 index 3 idle_time 8.74 nhid 2
id 10 index 4 idle_time 8.74 nhid 1
id 10 index 5 idle_time 8.74 nhid 1
id 10 index 6 idle_time 8.74 nhid 1
id 10 index 7 idle_time 8.74 nhid 1
Note the two buckets that have a shorter idle time. Those are the ones that
were migrated after the nexthop replace command to satisfy the new demand
that nexthop 1 be given 6 buckets instead of 4.
The patchset proceeds as follows:
- Patches #1 and #2 are small refactoring patches.
- Patch #3 adds a new flag to struct nh_group, is_multipath. This flag is
meant to be set for all nexthop groups that in general have several
nexthops from which they choose, and avoids a more expensive dispatch
based on reading several flags, one for each nexthop group type.
- Patch #4 contains defines of new UAPI attributes and the new next-hop
group type. At this point, the nexthop code is made to bounce the new
type. As the resilient hashing code is gradually added in the following
patch sets, it will remain dead. The last patch will make it accessible.
This patch also adds a suite of new messages related to next hop buckets.
This approach was taken instead of overloading the information on the
existing RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}NEXTHOP messages for the following reasons.
First, a next-hop group can contain a large number of next-hop buckets
(4k is not unheard of). This imposes limits on the amount of information
that can be encoded for each next-hop bucket given a netlink message is
limited to 64k bytes.
Second, while RTM_NEWNEXTHOPBUCKET is only used for notifications at this
point, in the future it can be extended to provide user space with
control over next-hop buckets configuration.
- Patch #5 contains the meat of the resilient next-hop group support.
- Patches #6 and #7 implement support for notifications towards the
drivers.
- Patch #8 adds an interface for the drivers to report resilient hash
table bucket activity. Drivers will be able to report through this
interface whether traffic is hitting a given bucket.
- Patch #9 adds an interface for the drivers to report whether a given
hash table bucket is offloaded or trapping traffic.
- In patches #10, #11, #12 and #13, UAPI is implemented. This includes all
the code necessary for creation of resilient groups, bucket dumping and
getting, and bucket migration notifications.
- In patch #14 the next-hop groups are finally made available.
The overall plan is to contribute approximately the following patchsets:
1) Nexthop policy refactoring (already pushed)
2) Preparations for resilient next-hop groups (already pushed)
3) Implementation of resilient next-hop groups (this patchset)
4) Netdevsim offload plus a suite of selftests
5) Preparations for mlxsw offload of resilient next-hop groups
6) mlxsw offload including selftests

The kernel periodically checks the idle time of nexthop buckets to
determine if they are idle and can be re-populated with a new nexthop.
When the resilient nexthop group is offloaded to hardware, the kernel
will not see activity on nexthop buckets unless it is reported from
hardware.
Add a function that can be periodically called by device drivers to
report activity on nexthop buckets after querying it from the underlying
device.

Implement the following notifications towards drivers:
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_REPLACE, when a resilient nexthop group is created.
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_BUCKET_REPLACE any time there is a change in assignment of
next hops to hash table buckets. That includes replacements, deletions,
and delayed upkeep cycles. Some bucket notifications can be vetoed by the
driver, to make it possible to propagate bucket busy-ness flags from the
HW back to the algorithm. Some are however forced, e.g. if a next hop is
deleted, all buckets that use this next hop simply must be migrated,
whether the HW wishes so or not.
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_RES_TABLE_PRE_REPLACE, before a resilient nexthop group is
replaced. Usually the driver will get the bucket notifications as well,
and could veto those. But in some cases, a bucket may not be migrated
immediately, but during delayed upkeep, and that is too late to roll the
transaction back. This notification allows the driver to take a look and
veto the new proposed group up front, before anything is committed.

At this moment, there is only one type of next-hop group: an mpath group,
which implements the hash-threshold algorithm.
To select a next hop, hash-threshold algorithm first assigns a range of
hashes to each next hop in the group, and then selects the next hop by
comparing the SKB hash with the individual ranges. When a next hop is
removed from the group, the ranges are recomputed, which leads to
reassignment of parts of hash space from one next hop to another. While
there will usually be some overlap between the previous and the new
distribution, some traffic flows change the next hop that they resolve to.
That causes problems e.g. as established TCP connections are reset, because
the traffic is forwarded to a server that is not familiar with the
connection.
Resilient hashing is a technique to address the above problem. Resilient
next-hop group has another layer of indirection between the group itself
and its constituent next hops: a hash table. The selection algorithm uses a
straightforward modulo operation to choose a hash bucket, and then reads
the next hop that this bucket contains, and forwards traffic there.
This indirection brings an important feature. In the hash-threshold
algorithm, the range of hashes associated with a next hop must be
continuous. With a hash table, mapping between the hash table buckets and
the individual next hops is arbitrary. Therefore when a next hop is deleted
the buckets that held it are simply reassigned to other next hops. When
weights of next hops in a group are altered, it may be possible to choose a
subset of buckets that are currently not used for forwarding traffic, and
use those to satisfy the new next-hop distribution demands, keeping the
"busy" buckets intact. This way, established flows are ideally kept being
forwarded to the same endpoints through the same paths as before the
next-hop group change.
In a nutshell, the algorithm works as follows. Each next hop has a number
of buckets that it wants to have, according to its weight and the number of
buckets in the hash table. In case of an event that might cause bucket
allocation change, the numbers for individual next hops are updated,
similarly to how ranges are updated for mpath group next hops. Following
that, a new "upkeep" algorithm runs, and for idle buckets that belong to a
next hop that is currently occupying more buckets than it wants (it is
"overweight"), it migrates the buckets to one of the next hops that has
fewer buckets than it wants (it is "underweight"). If, after this, there
are still underweight next hops, another upkeep run is scheduled to a
future time.
Chances are there are not enough "idle" buckets to satisfy the new demands.
The algorithm has knobs to select both what it means for a bucket to be
idle, and for whether and when to forcefully migrate buckets if there keeps
being an insufficient number of idle buckets.
There are three users of the resilient data structures.
- The forwarding code accesses them under RCU, and does not modify them
except for updating the time a selected bucket was last used.
- Netlink code, running under RTNL, which may modify the data.
- The delayed upkeep code, which may modify the data. This runs unlocked,
and mutual exclusion between the RTNL code and the delayed upkeep is
maintained by canceling the delayed work synchronously before the RTNL
code touches anything. Later it restarts the delayed work if necessary.
The RTNL code has to implement next-hop group replacement, next hop
removal, etc. For removal, the mpath code uses a neat trick of having a
backup next hop group structure, doing the necessary changes offline, and
then RCU-swapping them in. However, the hash tables for resilient hashing
are about an order of magnitude larger than the groups themselves (the size
might be e.g. 4K entries), and it was felt that keeping two of them is an
overkill. Both the primary next-hop group and the spare therefore use the
same resilient table, and writers are careful to keep all references valid
for the forwarding code. The hash table references next-hop group entries
from the next-hop group that is currently in the primary role (i.e. not
spare). During the transition from primary to spare, the table references a
mix of both the primary group and the spare. When a next hop is deleted,
the corresponding buckets are not set to NULL, but instead marked as empty,
so that the pointer is valid and can be used by the forwarding code. The
buckets are then migrated to a new next-hop group entry during upkeep. The
only times that the hash table is invalid is the very beginning and very
end of its lifetime. Between those points, it is always kept valid.
This patch introduces the core support code itself. It does not handle
notifications towards drivers, which are kept as if the group were an mpath
one. It does not handle netlink either. The only bit currently exposed to
user space is the new next-hop group type, and that is currently bounced.
There is therefore no way to actually access this code.
