John reports:
Recent refactoring of fl_change aims to use the classifier spinlock to
avoid the need for rtnl lock. In doing so, the fl_hw_replace_filer()
function was moved to before the lock is taken. This can create problems
for drivers if duplicate filters are created (commmon in ovs tc offload
due to filters being triggered by user-space matches).
Drivers registered for such filters will now receive multiple copies of
the same rule, each with a different cookie value. This means that the
drivers would need to do a full match field lookup to determine
duplicates, repeating work that will happen in flower __fl_lookup().
Currently, drivers do not expect to receive duplicate filters.
To fix this, verify that filter with same key is not present in flower
classifier hash table and insert the new filter to the flower hash table
before offloading it to hardware. Implement helper function
fl_ht_insert_unique() to atomically verify/insert a filter.
This change makes filter visible to fast path at the beginning of
fl_change() function, which means it can no longer be freed directly in
case of error. Refactor fl_change() error handling code to deallocate the
filter with rcu timeout.

This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the
bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket.
The benefits of a bit spin_lock are:
- no need to allocate a separate array of locks.
- no need to have a configuration option to guide the
choice of the size of this array
- locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line
that will have to be loaded anyway. When inserting at, or removing
from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new
address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit.
For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens
when adding a new key.
- even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are
in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway.
The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity,
which I think is quite manageable.
Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair -
if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can
easily be starved. This is not a credible situation with rhashtable.
Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they
will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to
acquire different locks.
As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at
least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to
go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory
consumption.
To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the
pointer plus lock-bit
that is stored in the bucket-table. This is "struct rhash_lock_head"
and is empty. A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an
unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful.
Variables of this type are most often called "bkt".
Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a
->next pointer in an rhash_head. As these are now different types,
pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case,
'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol.

In commit 0ae955e2656d ("tipc: improve TIPC throughput by Gap ACK
blocks"), we enhance the link transmq by releasing as many packets as
possible with the multi-ACKs from peer node. This also means the queue
is now non-linear and the peer link deferdq becomes vital.
Whereas, in the case of link failover, all messages in the link transmq
need to be transmitted as tunnel messages in such a way that message
sequentiality and cardinality per sender is preserved. This requires us
to maintain the link deferdq somehow, so that when the tunnel messages
arrive, the inner user messages along with the ones in the deferdq will
be delivered to upper layer correctly.
The commit accomplishes this by defining a new queue in the TIPC link
structure to hold the old link deferdq when link failover happens and
process it upon receipt of tunnel messages.
Also, in the case of link syncing, the link deferdq will not be purged
to avoid unnecessary retransmissions that in the worst case will fail
because the packets might have been freed on the sending side.

For unicast transmission, the current NACK sending althorithm is over-
active that forces the sending side to retransmit a packet that is not
really lost but just arrived at the receiving side with some delay, or
even retransmit same packets that have already been retransmitted
before. As a result, many duplicates are observed also under normal
condition, ie. without packet loss.
One example case is: node1 transmits 1 2 3 4 10 5 6 7 8 9, when node2
receives packet #10, it puts into the deferdq. When the packet #5 comes
it sends NACK with gap [6 - 9]. However, shortly after that, when
packet #6 arrives, it pulls out packet #10 from the deferfq, but it is
still out of order, so it makes another NACK with gap [7 - 9] and so on
... Finally, node1 has to retransmit the packets 5 6 7 8 9 a number of
times, but in fact all the packets are not lost at all, so duplicates!
This commit reduces duplicates by changing the condition to send NACK,
also restricting the retransmissions on individual packets via a timer
of about 1ms. However, it also needs to say that too tricky condition
for NACKs or too long timeout value for retransmissions will result in
performance reducing! The criterias in this commit are found to be
effective for both the requirements to reduce duplicates but not affect
performance.
The tipc_link_rcv() is also improved to only dequeue skb from the link
deferdq if it is expected (ie. its seqno <= rcv_nxt).

During unicast link transmission, it's observed very often that because
of one or a few lost/dis-ordered packets, the sending side will fastly
reach the send window limit and must wait for the packets to be arrived
at the receiving side or in the worst case, a retransmission must be
done first. The sending side cannot release a lot of subsequent packets
in its transmq even though all of them might have already been received
by the receiving side.
That is, one or two packets dis-ordered/lost and dozens of packets have
to wait, this obviously reduces the overall throughput!
This commit introduces an algorithm to overcome this by using "Gap ACK
blocks". Basically, a Gap ACK block will consist of <ack, gap> numbers
that describes the link deferdq where packets have been got by the
receiving side but with gaps, for example:
link deferdq: [1 2 3 4 10 11 13 14 15 20]
--> Gap ACK blocks: <4, 5>, <11, 1>, <15, 4>, <20, 0>
The Gap ACK blocks will be sent to the sending side along with the
traditional ACK or NACK message. Immediately when receiving the message
the sending side will now not only release from its transmq the packets
ack-ed by the ACK but also by the Gap ACK blocks! So, more packets can
be enqueued and transmitted.
In addition, the sending side can now do "multi-retransmissions"
according to the Gaps reported in the Gap ACK blocks.
The new algorithm as verified helps greatly improve the TIPC throughput
especially under packet loss condition.
So far, a maximum of 32 blocks is quite enough without any "Too few Gap
ACK blocks" reports with a 5.0% packet loss rate, however this number
can be increased in the furture if needed.
Also, the patch is backward compatible.

Linux currently disable ECN for incoming connections when the SYN
requests ECN and the IP header has ECT(0)/ECT(1) set, as some
networks were reportedly mangling the ToS byte, hence could later
trigger false congestion notifications.
RFC8311 §4.3 relaxes RFC3168's requirements such that ECT can be set
one TCP control packets (including SYNs). The main benefit of this
is the decreased probability of losing a SYN in a congested
ECN-capable network (i.e., it avoids the initial 1s timeout).
Additionally, this allows the development of newer TCP extensions,
such as AccECN.
This patch relaxes the previous check, by enabling ECN on incoming
connections using SYN+ECT if at least one bit of the reserved flags
of the TCP header is set. Such bit would indicate that the sender of
the SYN is using a newer TCP feature than what the host implements,
such as AccECN, and is thus implementing RFC8311. This enables
end-hosts not supporting such extensions to still negociate ECN, and
to have some of the benefits of using ECN on control packets.

Way back in 3c9c36bced the
ndo_fcoe_get_wwn pointer was switched from depending on CONFIG_FCOE to
CONFIG_LIBFCOE in order to allow building FCoE support into the bnx2x
driver and used by bnx2fc without including the generic software fcoe
module.
But, FCoE is generally used over an 802.1q VLAN, and the implementation
of ndo_fcoe_get_wwn in the 8021q module was not similarly changed. The
result is that if CONFIG_FCOE is disabled, then bnz2fc cannot make a
call to ndo_fcoe_get_wwn through the 8021q interface to the underlying
bnx2x interface. The bnx2fc driver then falls back to a potentially
different mapping of Ethernet MAC to Fibre Channel WWN, creating an
incompatibility with the fabric and target configurations when compared
to the WWNs used by pre-boot firmware and differently-configured
kernels.
So make the conditional inclusion of FCoE code in 8021q match the
conditional inclusion in netdevice.h

RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to
loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP".
Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses
are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets
alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior
is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses
triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large
cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets
the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e.,
denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially
noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where
alpha normally stays at low values.
This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to
half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once
per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter
has been removed.
The table below shows experimental results where we measured the
drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a
bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the
alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this
patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison.

We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses,
DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep
the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs).
Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be
controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.

Simplify this code by updating bridge multicast stats from
maybe_deliver().
Note that commit 6db6f0eae6 ("bridge: multicast to unicast"), in case
the port flag BR_MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST is set, never updates the previous
port pointer, therefore it is always going to be different from the
existing port in this deduplicated list iteration.

Export fib_nexthop_info and fib_add_nexthop for use by IPv6 code.
Remove rt6_nexthop_info and rt6_add_nexthop in favor of the IPv4
versions. Update fib_nexthop_info for IPv6 linkdown check and
RTA_GATEWAY for AF_INET6.

With the exception of the nexthop weight, the nexthop attributes used by
fib_nexthop_info and fib_add_nexthop come from the fib_nh_common struct.
Update both to use it and change fib_nexthop_info to check the family
as needed.
nexthop weight comes from the common struct for existing use cases, but
for nexthop groups the weight is outside of the fib_nh_common to allow
the same nexthop definition to be used in multiple groups with different
weights.

Similar to ipv6, move addition of nexthop attributes to dump
message into helpers that are called for both single path and
multipath routes. Align the new helpers to the IPv6 variant
which most notably means computing the flags argument based on
settings in nh_flags.
The RTA_FLOW argument is unique to IPv4, so it is appended after
the new fib_nexthop_info helper. The intent of a later patch is to
make both fib_nexthop_info and fib_add_nexthop usable for both IPv4
and IPv6. This patch is stepping stone in that direction.

Most of the ipv4 code only needs data from fib_nh_common. Add
fib_nh_common selection to fib_result and update users to use it.
Right now, fib_nh_common in fib_result will point to a fib_nh struct
that is embedded within a fib_info:
fib_info --> fib_nh
fib_nh
...
fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ----+
Later, nhc can point to a fib_nh within a nexthop struct:
fib_info --> nexthop --> fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ---------------+
or for a nexthop group:
fib_info --> nexthop --> nexthop --> fib_nh
nexthop --> fib_nh
...
nexthop --> fib_nh
^
fib_result->nhc ---------------------------+
In all cases nhsel within fib_result will point to which leg in the
multipath route is used.
