Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and
the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However,
as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable,
as in the case of pointers.
This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains
only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel
since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version
of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

Some tunnel formats have mechanisms for indicating that packets are
OAM frames that should be handled specially (either as high priority or
not forwarded beyond an endpoint). This provides support for allowing
those types of packets to be matched.

As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to
increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In
order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable
length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from
the packet we must still zero out the entire key.
This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any
fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given
protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out
during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable
length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well.
In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point
is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some
fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be
done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also
zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data
present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of
it is executed in non-error situations.
Removing the memset() reduces the profile of ovs_flow_extract()
from 0.64% to 0.56% when tested with large packets on a 10G link.

Please pull tihs batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream!
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I have here a few things that depend on the latest mac80211's changes:
RRM, TPC, Quiet Period etc... Eyal keeps improving our rate control
and we have a new device ID. This last patch should probably have
gone to wireless.git, but at that stage, I preferred to send it to
-next and CC stable."
For (most of) the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"The only new feature is testmode support from me. Ben added a new method
to crash the firmware with an assert for debug purposes. As usual, we
have lots of smaller fixes from Michal. Matteo fixed a Kconfig
dependency with debugfs. I fixed some warnings recently added to
checkpatch."
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"We've had major updates for TI and ST Microelectronics drivers, and a
few NCI related changes.
For TI's trf7970a driver:
- Target mode support for trf7970a
- Suspend/resume support for trf7970a
- DT properties additions to handle different quirks
- A bunch of fixes for smartphone IOP related issues
For ST Microelectronics' ST21NFCA and ST21NFCB drivers:
- ISO15693 support for st21nfcb
- checkpatch and sparse related warning fixes
- Code cleanups and a few minor fixes
Finally, Marvell added ISO15693 support to the NCI stack, together with a
couple of NCI fixes."
For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says:
"This 3.18 pull request replaces the one I did on Monday ("bluetooth-next
2014-09-22", which hasn't been pulled yet). The additions since the last

- Cleanups regarding the SCO establishment logic
- Remove unnecessary return value from logging functions
- Header compression fix for 6lowpan
- Cleanups to the ieee802154/mrf24j40 driver

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next, they are:
1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We
introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4
and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the
maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table.
2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family
nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy.
3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the
code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots
in the network stack code.
4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that
we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via
call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash).
5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad)
idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info
size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information
back to userspace.
6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge.
In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple
filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from
this hooks too.
7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter.
This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from
the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the
br_netfilter modularization.
8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman.
9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have
to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table
entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition /
deletion path. From Arturo Borrero.

bridge: Add vlan filtering support for default pvid
This series adds default pvid support to vlan filtering in the bridge.
VLAN 1 (as recommended by 802.1q spec) is used as default pvid on ports.
Then the user can over-ride this configuration by configuring their
own vlan information.
The user can additionally change the default value through the
sysfs interface (netlink coming shortly).
The user can turn off default pvid functionality by setting default
pvid to 0.
This series changes the default behavior of the bridge when
vlan filtering is turned on. Currently, ports without any vlan
filtering configured will not recevie any traffic at all. This patch
changes the behavior of the above ports to receive only untagged traffic.
Since v3:
- allocated 'changed' bitmap on the heap and re-arrange code to clean it up.
- remove extra blank lines.
- Fix patch1 to build by itself.
- Fix error recover to not add vlan 0.
- Restructure nbp_vlan_init to remove uneeded variable.
Since v2:
- Fix handling of invalid values in sysfs interface.
- Add some additional log messages.
- Fix default_pvid handling when vlan filtering is compiled out.
- Fix sparse issues with new code.
- Fix how we located the old default pvid (added a helper function).
Since v1:
- Add ability to turn off default_pvid settings.
- Drop the automiatic filtering support based on configured vlan devices (will
be its own series)

Currently when vlan filtering is turned on on the bridge, the bridge
will drop all traffic untill the user configures the filter. This
isn't very nice for ports that don't care about vlans and just
want untagged traffic.
A concept of a default_pvid was recently introduced. This patch
adds filtering support for default_pvid. Now, ports that don't
care about vlans and don't define there own filter will belong
to the VLAN of the default_pvid and continue to receive untagged
traffic.
This filtering can be disabled by setting default_pvid to 0.

add calls to phy_start() in dsa_slave_open() respectively phy_stop() in

We also call phy_start_aneg() in dsa_slave_create(), and this call is
messing up with the PHY state machine, since we basically start the
auto-negotiation, and later on restart it when calling phy_start().
phy_start() does not currently handle the PHY_FORCING or PHY_AN states
properly, but such a fix would be too invasive for this window.

net: Generic UDP Encapsulation
Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) is UDP encapsulation protocol which
encapsulates packets of various IP protocols. The GUE protocol is
described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-gue-01.
The receive path of GUE is implemented in the FOU over UDP module (FOU).
This includes a UDP encap receive function for GUE as well as GUE
specific GRO functions. Management and configuration of GUE ports shares
most of the same code with FOU.
For the transmit path, the previous FOU support for IPIP, sit, and GRE
was simply extended for GUE (when GUE is enabled insert the GUE
header on transmit in addition to UDP header inserted for FOU).
Semantically GUE is the same as FOU in that the encapsulation (UDP
and GUE headers) that are inserted on transmission and removed on
reception so that IP packet is processed with the inner header.
This patch set includes:
- Some fixes to FOU, removal of IPv4,v6 specific GRO functions
- Support to configure a GUE receive port
- Implementation of GUE receive path (normal and GRO)
- Additions to ip_tunnel netlink to configure GUE
- GUE header inserion in ip_tunnel transmit path
v2:
- Include net/gue.h in patch set
Testing:
I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_RR with 200 streams,
comparing encapsulation without GUE, encapsulation with GUE, and
encapsulation with FOU.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-10-02
This series contains updates to fm10k, igb, ixgbe and i40e.
Alex provides two updates to the fm10k driver. First reduces the buffer
size to 2k for all page sizes, since most frames only have a 1500 MTU
so supporting a buffer size larger than this is somewhat wasteful.
Second fixes an issue where the number of transmit queues was not being
updated, so added the lines necessary to update the number of transmit
queues.
Rick Jones provides two patches to convert ixgbe, igb and i40e to use
dev_consume_skb_any().
Emil provides two patches for ixgbe, first cleans up a couple of wait

This patch puts a common part as the first field of mlx5_core_qp. This field is
used to identify which resource generated an event. This is required since upcoming
new resource types such as DC targets are allocated for the same numerical space
as regular QPs and may generate the same events. By searching the resource in the
same table we can then look at the common field to identify the resource.

Add an auto generated header file that describes hardware registers along with

Currently the header file is small and we will add structs as we make use of

Validation of skb can be pretty expensive :
GSO segmentation and/or checksum computations.
We can do this without holding qdisc lock, so that other cpus
can queue additional packets.
Trick is that requeued packets were already validated, so we carry
a boolean so that sch_direct_xmit() can validate a fresh skb list,
or directly use an old one.
Tested on 40Gb NIC (8 TX queues) and 200 concurrent flows, 48 threads
host.
Turning TSO on or off had no effect on throughput, only few more cpu
cycles. Lock contention on qdisc lock disappeared.
Same if disabling TX checksum offload.

qdisc: bulk dequeue support
This patchset uses DaveM's recent API changes to dev_hard_start_xmit(),
from the qdisc layer, to implement dequeue bulking.
Patch01: "qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE"
- Implement basic qdisc dequeue bulking
- This time, 100% relying on BQL limits, no magic safe-guard constants
Patch02: "qdisc: dequeue bulking also pickup GSO/TSO packets"
- Extend bulking to bulk several GSO/TSO packets
- Seperate patch, as it introduce a small regression, see test section.
We do have a patch03, which exports a userspace tunable as a BQL
tunable, that can byte-cap or disable the bulking/bursting. But we
could not agree on it internally, thus not sending it now. We
basically strive to avoid adding any new userspace tunable.
Testing patch01:
================
Demonstrating the performance improvement of qdisc dequeue bulking, is
tricky because the effect only "kicks-in" once the qdisc system have a
backlog. Thus, for a backlog to form, we need either 1) to exceed wirespeed
of the link or 2) exceed the capability of the device driver.
For practical use-cases, the measureable effect of this will be a
reduction in CPU usage
01-TCP_STREAM:
--------------
Testing effect for TCP involves disabling TSO and GSO, because TCP
already benefit from bulking, via TSO and especially for GSO segmented
packets. This patch view TSO/GSO as a seperate kind of bulking, and
avoid further bulking of these packet types.
The measured perf diff benefit (at 10Gbit/s) for a single netperf
TCP_STREAM were 9.24% less CPU used on calls to _raw_spin_lock()
(mostly from sch_direct_xmit).
If my E5-2695v2(ES) CPU is tuned according to:
http://netoptimizer.blogspot.dk/2014/04/basic-tuning-for-network-overload.html
Then it is possible that a single netperf TCP_STREAM, with GSO and TSO
disabled, can utilize all bandwidth on a 10Gbit/s link. This will
then cause a standing backlog queue at the qdisc layer.
Trying to pressure the system some more CPU util wise, I'm starting
24x TCP_STREAMs and monitoring the overall CPU utilization. This
confirms bulking saves CPU cycles when it "kicks-in".
Tool mpstat, while stressing the system with netperf 24x TCP_STREAM, shows:
* Disabled bulking: sys:2.58% soft:8.50% idle:88.78%
* Enabled bulking: sys:2.43% soft:7.66% idle:89.79%
02-UDP_STREAM
-------------
The measured perf diff benefit for UDP_STREAM were 6.41% less CPU used
on calls to _raw_spin_lock(). 24x UDP_STREAM with packet size -m 1472 (to
avoid sending UDP/IP fragments).
03-trafgen driver test
----------------------
The performance of the 10Gbit/s ixgbe driver is limited due to
updating the HW ring-queue tail-pointer on every packet. As
previously demonstrated with pktgen.
Using trafgen to send RAW frames from userspace (via AF_PACKET), and
forcing it through qdisc path (with option --qdisc-path and -t0),
sending with 12 CPUs.
I can demonstrate this driver layer limitation:
* 12.8 Mpps with no qdisc bulking
* 14.8 Mpps with qdisc bulking (full 10G-wirespeed)
Testing patch02:
================
Testing Bulking several GSO/TSO packets:
Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with
netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions
(requeues were in the area 32 requeues/sec for 10G while transmitting
approx 813Kpps).
Bulking several GSOs does show small regression or very small
improvement (requeues were in the area 8000 requeues/sec, for 10G
while transmitting approx 813Kpps).
Using ixgbe 10Gbit/s with GSO bulking, we can measure some additional
latency. Base-case, which is "normal" GSO bulking, sees varying
high-prio queue delay between 0.38ms to 0.47ms. Bulking several GSOs
together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of 0.50ms.
Corrosponding to:
(10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.47)/10^3)/8 = 37500 bytes
(10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.38)/10^3)/8 = 150000 bytes
37500/1500 = 25 pkts
150000/1500 = 100 pkts
Using igb at 100Mbit/s with GSO bulking, shows an improvement.
Base-case sees varying high-prio queue delay between 2.23ms to 2.35ms
diff of 0.12ms corrosponding to 1500 bytes at 100Mbit/s. Bulking
several GSOs together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of
2.23ms.

The TSO and GSO segmented packets already benefit from bulking
on their own.
The TSO packets have always taken advantage of the only updating
the tailptr once for a large packet.
The GSO segmented packets have recently taken advantage of
bulking xmit_more API, via merge commit 53fda7f7f9 ("Merge
branch 'xmit_list'"), specifically via commit 7f2e870f2a ("net:
Move main gso loop out of dev_hard_start_xmit() into helper.")
allowing qdisc requeue of remaining list. And via commit
ce93718fb7 ("net: Don't keep around original SKB when we
software segment GSO frames.").
This patch allow further bulking of TSO/GSO packets together,
when dequeueing from the qdisc.
Testing:
Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with
netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions

Based on DaveM's recent API work on dev_hard_start_xmit(), that allows
sending/processing an entire skb list.
This patch implements qdisc bulk dequeue, by allowing multiple packets
to be dequeued in dequeue_skb().
The optimization principle for this is two fold, (1) to amortize
locking cost and (2) avoid expensive tailptr update for notifying HW.
(1) Several packets are dequeued while holding the qdisc root_lock,
amortizing locking cost over several packet. The dequeued SKB list is
processed under the TXQ lock in dev_hard_start_xmit(), thus also
amortizing the cost of the TXQ lock.
(2) Further more, dev_hard_start_xmit() will utilize the skb->xmit_more
API to delay HW tailptr update, which also reduces the cost per
packet.
One restriction of the new API is that every SKB must belong to the
same TXQ. This patch takes the easy way out, by restricting bulk
dequeue to qdisc's with the TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag, that specifies the
qdisc only have attached a single TXQ.
Some detail about the flow; dev_hard_start_xmit() will process the skb
list, and transmit packets individually towards the driver (see
xmit_one()). In case the driver stops midway in the list, the
remaining skb list is returned by dev_hard_start_xmit(). In
sch_direct_xmit() this returned list is requeued by dev_requeue_skb().
To avoid overshooting the HW limits, which results in requeuing, the
patch limits the amount of bytes dequeued, based on the drivers BQL
limits. In-effect bulking will only happen for BQL enabled drivers.
Small amounts for extra HoL blocking (2x MTU/0.24ms) were
measured at 100Mbit/s, with bulking 8 packets, but the
oscillating nature of the measurement indicate something, like
sched latency might be causing this effect. More comparisons
show, that this oscillation goes away occationally. Thus, we
disregard this artifact completely and remove any "magic" bulking
limit.
For now, as a conservative approach, stop bulking when seeing TSO and
segmented GSO packets. They already benefit from bulking on their own.
A followup patch add this, to allow easier bisect-ability for finding
regressions.
