This series contains updates to i40e only.
Anjali adds more functionality to debugfs to assist development and

Greg makes sure broadcast promiscuous is disabled by default, otherwise
VLAN tagged packets out of the assigned VLAN domain are received. Also
provides a fix when the 8021q driver is loaded, so that VLAN 0 tagged
packets are accepted so that upper layers can interpret the priority

adds helper functions to enable or disable internal switch loopback
when VFs are created or destroyed via the sysfs interface.
Shannon provides most of the changes, where he adds code to ensure
that the hardware waits to make sure that the firmware is ready as well
after reset. Also updates the code to use the new features in the
firmware. Provides a fix while in MFP mode where resources are
reduced, so use a smaller range of test registers than when in SFP mode.
Moves the PF ID initialization code to earlier in the driver
initialization function since a few operations need the information
before the first PF reset is called. Shannon adds a check for MAC
type before reading anything from the registers to ensure we dealing
with the correct MAC type. Then reworks Shadow RAM read word/buffer
functions as to not block whole NVM resources for SR read operations.
Mitch lastly provides a fix to correctly setup ARQ descriptors in

tipc: link setup and failover improvements
This series consists of four unrelated commits with different purposes.
- Commit #1 is purely cosmetic and pedagogic, hopefully making the
failover/tunneling logics slightly easier to understand.
- Commit #2 fixes a bug that has always been in the code, but was not
discovered until very recently.
- Commit #3 fixes a non-fatal race issue in the neighbour discovery
code.
- Commit #4 removes an unnecessary indirection step during link

When a link is created we delay the start event by launching it
to be executed later in a tasklet. As we hold all the
necessary locks at the moment of creation, and there is no risk
of deadlock or contention, this delay serves no purpose in the
current code.
We remove this obsolete indirection step, and the associated function
link_start(). At the same time, we rename the function tipc_link_stop()
to the more appropriate tipc_link_purge_queues().

Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in
the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields
'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different
threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the
critical region:
link_activate()
tipc_bearer_add_dest()
tipc_disc_add_dest()
req->num_nodes++;
tipc_link_reset()
tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
tipc_disc_remove_dest()
req->num_nodes--
disc_update()
read req->num_nodes
write req->timer_intv
disc_timeout()
read req->num_nodes
read/write req->timer_intv
Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery
messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such
messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery
messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no
serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in
order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects.
This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which
we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
may still think it has one.
The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223
("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e837
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.
Note that commit 60769a5dcd "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.
All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.
The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).
1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 9.16Gbps
CPU utilization: 19%
1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 5.9Gbps
CPU utilization: 15%
1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on

CPU utilization: 12-13%
1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps
CPU utilization: 10%
The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).
2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells)
2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled

There are many cases where this feature does not improve performance or even
reduces it.
For example, here are the results from tests that I've run using 3.12.6 on one
Intel Xeon W3565 and one i7 920 connected by ixgbe adapters. The results are
from the Xeon, but they're similar on the i7. All numbers report the
mean±stddev over 10 runs of 10s.
1) latency tests similar to what is described in "c6e1a0d net: Allow no-cache
copy from user on transmit"
There is no statistically significant difference between tx-nocache-copy
on/off.

When lo is brought up, new ifa is created. Then, devconf and neigh values
bitfield should be set so later changes of default values would not
affect lo values.
Note that the same behaviour is in ipv6. Also note that this is likely
not an issue in many distros (for example Fedora 19) because userspace
sets address to lo manually before bringing it up.

This change allows to follow a recommandation of RFC4942.
- Add "anycast_src_echo_reply" sysctl to control the use of anycast addresses
as source addresses for ICMPv6 echo reply. This sysctl is false by default
to preserve existing behavior.
- Add inline check ipv6_anycast_destination().
- Use them in icmpv6_echo_reply().
Reference:
RFC4942 - IPv6 Transition/Coexistence Security Considerations
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4942#section-2.1.6)
2.1.6. Anycast Traffic Identification and Security
[...]
To avoid exposing knowledge about the internal structure of the
network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of
the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the
source address if possible.

GRO/GSO layers can be enabled on a node, even if said
node is only forwarding packets.
This patch permits GSO (and upcoming GRO) support for GRE
encapsulated packets, even if the host has no GRE tunnel setup.

====================
[GIT net-next] Open vSwitch
Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are:
* Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace
using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate.
* Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared
across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save
memory and allocation time.
* A handful of code cleanups and rationalization.

Use of skb_zerocopy() can avoid the expensive call to memcpy()
when copying the packet data into the Netlink skb. Completes
checksum through skb_checksum_help() if not already done in
GSO segmentation.
Zerocopy is only performed if user space supported unaligned
Netlink messages. memory mapped netlink i/o is preferred over
zerocopy if it is set up.
Cost of upcall is significantly reduced from:
+ 7.48% vhost-8471 [k] memcpy
+ 5.57% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy
+ 2.81% vhost-8471 [k] csum_partial_copy_generic
to:
+ 5.72% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy
+ 3.32% vhost-5153 [k] memcpy
+ 0.68% vhost-5153 [k] skb_zerocopy
(megaflows disabled)
