In addition, the queue stop and wake thresholds values are adjusted

cdc_ncm: fixes and conversion to sysfs API
After considering the comments received after the ethtool coalesce
support was commited, I have ended up concluding that we should
remove it again, while we can, before it hits a release. The idea
was not well enough thought through, and all comments received
pointed to advantages of using a sysfs based API instead.
This series removes the ethtool coalesce support and replaces it
with sysfs attributes in a driver specific group under the netdev.
The first 3 patches are unrelated fixes:
patch 1: reducing truesize as discussed
patch 2: fixing a potentional buffer overrun when changing tx_max
patch 3: prevent framing errors when changing rx_max
Changes v2:
- minor editorial changes to patch 8, as suggested by Peter Stuge

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.
The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of
the host <-> device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It
gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the
protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by
rejecting attempts to set any of the tunable variables to a value
which is not supported by the device. Exporting the parameter block
helps userspace decide which values are allowed without resorting
to trial and error.

The ethtool coalesce API is not applicable for this driver. Forcing
it to fit the NCM aggregation redefined the API in a driver specific
way, which is much worse than defining a clean new API. These ethtool
coalesce functions have therefore been replaced by a new sysfs API.

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it
for the rx/tx aggregation variables.
The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is
specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the
ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation
parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing
way. A sysfs group
- makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
- allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
version, and
- lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
to force into the ethtool API.
Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.
Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value
changes.

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.
linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.
1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes
2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.
3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
is about 20.
4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())
5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.
IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'
Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.
We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.
ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)
secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.
Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

Provide common means for device address sync
The following series implements a means for synchronizing both unicast and
multicast addresses on a device interface. The code is based on the original
implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the
lower dev.
The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in
the early stages of development. The nearest driver I could find that
appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the
Cisco enic driver. For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use
of this interface publicly.
However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to
compile test any changes made to the driver. I tried to keep this change as
simple as possible to avoid any issues. Any help with testing would be
greatly appreciated.

This change updates the enic driver to make use of __dev_uc_sync and
__dev_mc_sync calls. Previously the driver was doing its own list
management by storing the mc_addr and uc_addr list in a 32 address array.
With this change the sync data is stored in the netdev_addr_list structures
and instead we just track how many addresses we have written to the device.
When we encounter 32 we stop and print a message as occurred previously with
the old approach.
Other than the core change the only other bit needed was to propagate the
constant attribute with the MAC address as there were several spots where
is twas only passed as a u8 * instead of a const u8 *.
This patch is meant to maintain the original functionality without the use
of the mc_addr and uc_addr arrays.

This patch finally allows us to get rid of the BPF_S_* enum.
Currently, the code performs unnecessary encode and decode
workarounds in seccomp and filter migration itself when a filter
is being attached in order to overcome BPF_S_* encoding which
is not used anymore by the new interpreter resp. JIT compilers.
Keeping it around would mean that also in future we would need
to extend and maintain this enum and related encoders/decoders.
We can get rid of all that and save us these operations during
filter attaching. Naturally, also JIT compilers need to be updated
by this.
Before JIT conversion is being done, each compiler checks if A
is being loaded at startup to obtain information if it needs to
emit instructions to clear A first. Since BPF extensions are a
subset of BPF_LD | BPF_{W,H,B} | BPF_ABS variants, case statements
for extensions can be removed at that point. To ease and minimalize
code changes in the classic JITs, we have introduced bpf_anc_helper().
Tested with test_bpf on x86_64 (JIT, int), s390x (JIT, int),
arm (JIT, int), i368 (int), ppc64 (JIT, int); for sparc we
unfortunately didn't have access, but changes are analogous to

This patchset will set affinity hint to influence IRQs to be allocated on the

If the number of IRQs allocated is greater than the number of local NUMA cores, all
local cores will be used first, and the rest of the IRQs will be on a remote
NUMA node.
If no NUMA support - IRQ's and cores will be mapped 1:1
Since the utility function to calculate the mapping could be useful in other mq

The “affinity hint” mechanism is used by the user space
daemon, irqbalancer, to indicate a preferred CPU mask for irqs.
Irqbalancer can use this hint to balance the irqs between the
cpus indicated by the mask.
We wish the HCA to preferentially map the IRQs it uses to numa cores
close to it. To accomplish this, we use cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(), that
sets the affinity hint according the following policy:
First it maps IRQs to “close” numa cores. If these are exhausted, the
remaining IRQs are mapped to “far” numa cores.

This function sets the n'th cpu - local cpu's first.
For example: in a 16 cores server with even cpu's local, will get the
following values:
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(0, numa, cpumask) => cpu 0 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(1, numa, cpumask) => cpu 2 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(7, numa, cpumask) => cpu 14 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(8, numa, cpumask) => cpu 1 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(9, numa, cpumask) => cpu 3 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(15, numa, cpumask) => cpu 15 is set
Curently this function will be used by multi queue networking devices to
calculate the irq affinity mask, such that as many local cpu's as
possible will be utilized to handle the mq device irq's.

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
This small patchset contains three accumulated Netfilter/IPVS updates,
they are:
1) Refactorize common NAT code by encapsulating it into a helper
function, similarly to what we do in other conntrack extensions,
from Florian Westphal.
2) A minor format string mismatch fix for IPVS, from Masanari Iida.
3) Add quota support to the netfilter accounting infrastructure, now
you can add quotas to accounting objects via the nfnetlink interface
and use them from iptables. You can also listen to quota
notifications from userspace. This enhancement from Mathieu Poirier.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Kevin updates the i40e and i40evf driver i40e_check_asq_alive() to ensure
the length register offset is non-zero which indicates that the software
has initialized the admin queue. Also removes PCTYPE definitions which are
now reserved.
Mitch enables descriptor prefetch for rings belonging to the virtual function.
Also configures the VF minimum transmit rate to 50 Mbps rather than 0 which was
be interpreted as no limit at all. Mitch found in order for the VF to achieve
its programmed transmit rate, we need to set the max credit value to 4.
Lastly fixes a Tx hang and firmware crash that happens after setting the MTU
on a VF by not using the RESETTING state during reinit, this is because
the RESETTING state means that a catastrophic hardware bad thing is happening
and the driver needs to tiptoe around and not use the admin queue or registers.
A reinit is no big deal and we can use the admin queue (and we should) so
do not set the state to RESETTING during reinit to resolve the bug.
Akeem changes the declaration of the transmit and receive rings inside
several loops to eliminate declaring the same ring every time for the
duration of the loop and declares them just once before the loop. Also fixes
the driver to clear the recovery pending bit if pf_reset fails instead of
falling through the setup process.
Anjali makes a change based on feedback from Ben Hutchings that cmd->data
needs to be reported in ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT and use a helper function to
calculate the total filter count.
Jesse removes storm control since the storm control features are not apart
of the hardware and were mistakenly left in the code.
Greg changes tx_lpi_status and rx_lpi_status from bool to u32 to avoid
sparse errors.
Shannon adds the clear_pxe AdminQ API call to tell the firmware that the
driver is taking over from PXE. In addition, relaxes the firmware API
check to allow more flexibility in handling newer NICs and NVMs in the field.
Vasu ensures that FCoE is disabled for MFP modes since it is not supported
by overriding the hardware FCoE capability.
