2015-09-17netfilter: Use nf_hook_state.netEric W. Biederman21-58/+41
Instead of saying "net = dev_net(state->in?state->in:state->out)" just say "state->net". As that information is now availabe, much less confusing and much less error prone. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-09-17netfilter: Pass struct net into the netfilter hooksEric W. Biederman31-120/+142
Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to be easily and reliabily. This allows the replacement of magic code like "dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most netfilter hooks with "state->net". In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those paths will not see any changes in practice. The exceptions are: xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb() dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev) ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic "dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

A function with weird arguments that it will never use to accomdate a netfilter callback prototype is absolutely in the core of the networking stack. Frankly it does not make sense and it causes a lot of confusion as to why arguments that are never used are being passed to the function.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-15 This series contains updates to ixgbe and fm10k. Don fixes a ixgbe issue by adding checks for systems that do not have SFP's to avoid incorrectly acting on interrupts that are falsely interpreted as SFP events. Alex Williamson adds a fix for ixgbe to disable SR-IOV prior to unregistering the netdev to avoid issues with guest OS's which do not support hot-unplug or their hot-unplug is broken. Alex Duyck update the lowest limit for adaptive interrupt interrupt moderation to about 12K interrupts per second for ixgbe. This change increases the performance for ixgbe. Also fixed up fm10k to remove the optimization that assumed that all fragments would be limited to page size, since that assumption is incorrect as the TCP allocator can provide up to a 32K page fragment. Updated fm10k to add the MAC address to the list of values recorded on driver load. Fixes fm10k so that we only trigger the data path reset if the fabric is ready to handle traffic to avoid triggering the reset unless the switch API is ready for us. Jacob updates the fm10k driver to disable the service task during suspend and re-enable it after we resume. If we don't do this, the device could be UP when you suspend and come back from resume as DOWN. Also update fm10k to prevent the removal of default VID rules, and correctly remove the stack layers information of the VLAN, but then return to forwarding that VID as untagged frames. If we deleted the VID rules here, we would begin dropping traffic due to VLAN membership violations. Fixed fm10k to use pcie_get_minimum_link(), which is useful in cases where we connect to a slot at Gen3, but the slot is behind a bus which is only connected at Gen2. Updated fm10k to update the netdev permanent address during reinit instead of up to enable users to immediately see the new MAC address on the VF even if the device is not up. Adds the creation of VLAN interfaces on a device, even while the device is down for fm10k. Fixed an issue where we request the incorrect MAC/VLAN combinations, and prevents us from accidentally reporting some frames as VLAN tagged. Provided a couple of trivial fixes for fm10k to fix code style and typos in code comments. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-09-15fm10k: fix iov_msg_mac_vlan_pf VID checksJacob Keller1-33/+52
The VF will send a message to request multicast addresses with the default VID. In the current code, if the PF has statically assigned a VLAN to a VF, then the VF will not get the multicast addresses. Fix up all of the various VLAN messages to use identical checks (since each check was different). Also use set as a variable, so that it simplifies our check for whether VLAN matches the pf_vid. The new logic will allow set of a VLAN if it is zero, automatically converting to the default VID. Otherwise it will allow setting the PF VID, or any VLAN if PF has not statically assigned a VLAN. This is consistent behavior, and allows VF to request either 0 or the default_vid without silently failing. Note that we need the check for zero since VFs might not get the default VID message in time to actually request non-zero VLANs.

2015-09-15fm10k: re-enable VF after a full reset on detection of a Malicious eventJacob Keller1-2/+28
Modify behavior of Malicious Driver Detection events. Presently, the hardware disables the VF queues and re-assigns them to the PF. This causes the VF in question to continuously Tx hang, because it assumes that it can transmit over the queues in question. For transient events, this results in continuous logging of malicious events. New behavior is to reset the LPORT and VF state, so that the VF will have to reset and re-enable itself. This does mean that malicious VFs will possibly be able to continue and attempt malicious events again. However, it is expected that system administrators will step in and manually remove or disable the VF in question.

For this to work correctly, we need to update fm10k_process_skb_fields to correctly mask off the VLAN_PRIO_MASK bits and compare them separately, otherwise we incorrectly compare the priority bits with the cleared flag.

The service task reads some registers as part of its normal routine, even while the interface is down. Normally this is ok. However, during suspend we have disabled the PCI device. Due to this, registers will read in the same way as a surprise-remove event. Disable the service task while we suspend, and re-enable it after we resume. If we don't do this, the device could be UP when you suspend and come back from resume as closed (since fm10k closes the device when it gets a surprise remove).

2015-09-15ixgbe: Limit lowest interrupt rate for adaptive interrupt moderation to 12KAlexander Duyck4-6/+5
This patch updates the lowest limit for adaptive interrupt interrupt moderation to roughly 12K interrupts per second. The way I came about reaching 12K as the desired interrupt rate is by testing with UDP flows. Specifically I had a simple test that ran a netperf UDP_STREAM test at varying sizes. What I found was as the packet sizes increased the performance fell steadily behind until we were only able to receive at ~4Gb/s with a message size of 65507. A bit of digging found that we were dropping packets for the socket in the network stack, and looking at things further what I found was I could solve it by increasing the interrupt rate, or increasing the rmem_default/rmem_max. What I found was that when the interrupt coalescing resulted in more data being processed per interrupt than could be stored in the socket buffer we started losing packets and the performance dropped. So I reached 12K based on the following math. rmem_default = 212992 skb->truesize = 2994 212992 / 2994 = 71.14 packets to fill the buffer packet rate at 1514 packet size is 812744pps 71.14 / 812744 = 87.9us to fill socket buffer From there it was just a matter of choosing the interrupt rate and providing a bit of wiggle room which is why I decided to go with 12K interrupts per second as that uses a value of 84us. The data below is based on VM to VM over a direct assigned ixgbe interface. The test run was: netperf -H <ip> -t UDP_STREAM" Socket Message Elapsed Messages CPU Service Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput Util Demand bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec % SS us/KB Before: 212992 65507 60.00 1100662 0 9613.4 10.89 0.557 212992 60.00 473474 4135.4 11.27 0.576 After: 212992 65507 60.00 1100413 0 9611.2 10.73 0.549 212992 60.00 974132 8508.3 11.69 0.598 Using bare metal the data is similar but not as dramatic as the throughput increases from about 8.5Gb/s to 9.5Gb/s.
