Eric Dumazet 1191cb8348 bnx2x: remove some bloat
Before doing skb->head_frag work on bnx2x driver, I found too much stuff
was inlined in bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h for no good reason and made my work not
very easy.

Move some big functions out of this include file to the respective .c
file.

A lot of inline keywords are not needed at all in this huge driver.

RongQing.Li d344c4f310 pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on reset
The reset logic after a Rx FIFO overrun will clear the programmed
multicast addresses. This patch fixes the issue by reprogramming the
registers after the reset.

The commit eefc48b ("pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on
reset") tried to fix this problem, but it introduces unnecessary
codes. In fact, all multicast addresses have been saved in netdev->mc,
So we can call pch_gbe_set_multi() directly after reset_hw and
reset_rx.

This commit kills 50+ line codes

Eric Dumazet 329033f645 tcp: makes tcp_try_coalesce aware of skb->head_frag
TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a
page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.

This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

Tested with tg3 nic, with GRO on or off. We can see "TCPRcvCoalesce"
counter being incremented.

GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb

single sk_buff is fetched.

Eric Dumazet 8d4057a938 tg3: provide frags as skb head
This patch converts tg3 driver, one of our reference drivers, to use new
build_skb() api in frag mode.

Instead of using kmalloc() to allocate the memory block that will be
used by build_skb() as skb->head, we use a page fragment.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

This allows GRO, TCP coalescing, and splice() to be more efficient.

Incidentally, this also removes SLUB slow path contention in kfree()

Eric Dumazet d3836f21b0 net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment
skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but
has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if
needed.

We have three spots were it hurts :

1) GRO aggregation

 When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the
frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff
around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network
stack aren't enabling full GRO power.

2) splice(socket -> pipe).

 We must copy the linear part to a page fragment.
 This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim)

3) TCP coalescing.

 Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments
into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory,
and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing
doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be
too slow)

Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility
of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag,
skb->head_frag to carry this information.

build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing
to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero
value, set to the fragment size.

Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself,
we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various
fallbacks we have.

This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the
current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb
truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes
bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear
part, no need to copy data.

Bruce Allan bdc125f73f e1000e: 82579 potential system hang on stress when ME enabled
Previously, a workaround was added to address a hardware bug in the
PCIm2PCI arbiter where a write by the driver of the Transmit/Receive
Descriptor Tail register could happen concurrently with a write of any
MAC CSR register by the Manageability Engine (ME) which could cause the
Tail register to have an incorrect value.  The arbiter is supposed to
prevent the concurrent writes but there is a bug that can cause the Host
(driver) access to be acknowledged later than it should.
After further investigation, it was discovered that a driver write access
of any MAC CSR register after being idle for some time can be lost when
ME is accessing a MAC CSR register.  When this happens, no further target
access is claimed by the MAC which could hang the system.
The workaround to check bit 24 in the FWSM register (set only when ME is
accessing a MAC CSR register) and delay for a limited amount of time until
it is cleared is now done for all driver writes of MAC CSR registers on
82579 with ME enabled.  In the rare case when the driver is writing the
Tail register and ME is accessing any MAC CSR register for a duration
longer than the maximum delay, write the register and verify it has the
correct value before continuing, otherwise reset the device.

This patch also moves some pre-existing macros from the hardware-specific
header file to the more appropriate generic driver header file.

Eric Dumazet 6746960140 ipv6: RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG causes inefficient TCP segment sizing
Quoting Tore Anderson from :
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42572

When RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is set on a route, the effective TCP segment
size does not take into account the size of the IPv6 Fragmentation
header that needs to be included in outbound packets, causing every
transmitted TCP segment to be fragmented across two IPv6 packets, the
latter of which will only contain 8 bytes of actual payload.

RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is typically set on a route in response to
receving a ICMPv6 Packet Too Big message indicating a Path MTU of less
than 1280 bytes. 1280 bytes is the minimum IPv6 MTU, however ICMPv6
PTBs with MTU < 1280 are still valid, in particular when an IPv6
packet is sent to an IPv4 destination through a stateless translator.
Any ICMPv4 Need To Fragment packets originated from the IPv4 part of
the path will be translated to ICMPv6 PTB which may then indicate an
MTU of less than 1280.

The Linux kernel refuses to reduce the effective MTU to anything below
1280 bytes, instead it sets it to exactly 1280 bytes, and
RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is also set. However, the TCP segment size appears
to be set to 1240 bytes (1280 Path MTU - 40 bytes of IPv6 header),
instead of 1232 (additionally taking into account the 8 bytes required
by the IPv6 Fragmentation extension header).

This in turn results in rather inefficient transmission, as every
transmitted TCP segment now is split in two fragments containing
1232+8 bytes of payload.

After this patch, all the outgoing packets that includes a
Fragmentation header all are "atomic" or "non-fragmented" fragments,
i.e., they both have Offset=0 and More Fragments=0.

With help from David S. Miller

Allan Stephens 8f17789693 tipc: Enhance error checking of published names
Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into
a single routine where it applies both to local name publications
and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This
change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now
validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now
validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails
validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging
capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being
cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network
node.
