When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times
(cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will
take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently.
When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send
them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free).
The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02,
and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the
system performance.
VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02
Without this patch, perf-top show as below: The flow_free() is
3.02% CPU usage.
4.23% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
3.62% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq
3.16% [kernel] [k] __memcpy
3.02% [kernel] [k] flow_free
2.42% libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back
2.18% [kernel] [k] copy_user_generic_unrolled
2.17% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
When applied this patch, perf-top show as below: Not shown on
the list anymore.
4.11% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
3.79% [kernel] [k] __do_softirq

1.53% ovs-vswitchd [.] xlate_actions
With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache
+ Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec
(maybe ~10% performance imporve).
This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id
that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we
used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting,
cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to
sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.

liquidio: avoid vm low memory crashes
This patchset addresses issues brought about by low memory conditions
in a VM. These conditions were not seen when the driver was exercised
normally. Rather, they were brought about through manual fault injection.
They are being included in the interest of hardening the driver against
unforeseen circumstances.
1. Fix GPF in octeon_init_droq(); zero the allocated block 'recv_buf_list'.
This prevents a GPF trying to access an invalid 'recv_buf_list[i]' entry
in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers() if init didn't alloc all entries.
2. Don't dereference a NULL ptr in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers().
3. For defensive programming, zero the allocated block 'oct->droq' in
octeon_setup_output_queues() and 'oct->instr_queue' in
octeon_setup_instr_queues().
change log:
V1 -> V2:
1. Corrected syntax in 'Subject' lines; no functional or code changes.

Ido says:
The purpose of this set is to prepare the driver for the introduction of
IPv6 FIB offload. It's mainly composed of small and non-functional
changes, that either add the IPv6 equivalent of existing IPv4 code or
aimed at making the introduction of IPv6-specific code easier.
The first five patches enable IPv6 forwarding in the device and allow us
to configure router interfaces (RIFs) based on inet6addr notifications.
The next six patches add support for programming IPv6 neighbours into
the device's table as well as dumping their activity and updating the
kernel accordingly.
The last 11 patches extend current infrastructure to allow us to program
IPv6 routes, set catch-all IPv6 trap in case of abort and make the code
more receptive towards up-coming changes.

xfrm: remove flow cache
After RCU-ification of ipsec packet path there are no major scalability
issues anymore without flow cache.
We still incur a performance hit, which comes mostly from the extra xfrm
dst allocation/freeing.
The last patch in the series adds a simple percpu cache to avoid the
extra allocation if a packet matched the same policies as last one.
The main concern with this is that we will see performance drops,
especially with large numbers of policies/SAs.
However, during hallway discussions at nfws 2017 it seemed the issues
with flow caching outweight the removal downsides, and that it
might be best to just 'remove it' and see where the practical issues
(if any) will appear.
It should now be possible to also remove the genid member in the policies
as we don't hold bundles for prolonged time anymore, but I think
this change is controversial (and intrusive) enough as-is, so defer
that to a later point in time.
Changes since last rfc:
- fix build failures due to implicit interrupt.h includes
- rework last patch (pcpu cache):
* avoid xchg()
* check policies for walk.dead = 1 instead of more costly bundle_ok().
* flush pcpu bundles when sa/policies get removed, to allow module
references to go away (suggested by Ilan Tayari)
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
retain last used xfrm_dst in a pcpu cache.
On next request, reuse this dst if the policies are the same.
The cache will not help with strict RR workloads as there is no hit.
The cache packet-path part is reasonably small, the notifier part is
needed so we do not add long hangs when a device is dismantled but some
pcpu xdst still holds a reference, there are also calls to the flush
operation when userspace deletes SAs so modules can be removed
(there is no hit.
We need to run the dst_release on the correct cpu to avoid races with
packet path. This is done by adding a work_struct for each cpu and then
doing the actual test/release on each affected cpu via schedule_work_on().
