Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK
RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect
RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control.
This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform
supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request
sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing
another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock.
For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled
right after the child socket is created and right before the request
sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c)
For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was
sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing
the final ACK an right before the request socket is released.
If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely
on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the
same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values
are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store
TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value
is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt().
One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before
initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore
the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

here is version 2 of some s390 related qeth patches for net-next. The patch by

Version 2 of patch 4 uses the desired indentation in function declarations

Checksum offloading for send and receive is already
supported for layer 3 (IP layer). This patch
adds support for RX and TX hardware checksum offloading
for layer 2 (MAC layer). The hardware calculates the checksum
for IP UDP and TCP packets.
This patch moves the hardware checksum offloading setup
to the set of common functions in qeth_core_main.c.
Layer 2 and layer 3 now simply call the same common functions.
Also note that TX checksum offloading is always enabled.
The device driver relies on the TCP/IP stack to make use of
this feature.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-17
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Shannon provides updates to i40e and i40evf to resolve an issue with the
nvmupdate utility. First renames a variable name to reduce confusion and
to differentiate it from the actual user variable. Then added the ability
to save the admin queue write back descriptor if a caller supplies a
buffer for it to be saved into. Added a new GetStatus command so that
the NVM update tool can query the current status instead of doing fake
write requests to probe for readiness. Added wait states to the NVM
update state machine to signify when waiting for an update operation to
finish, whether we are in the middle of a set of write operations, or we
are now idle but waiting. Then added a facility to run admin queue
commands through the NVM update utility in order to allow the update
tools to interact with the firmware and do special commands needed for
updates and configuration changes. Also added a facility to recover the
result of a previously run admin queue command.

Add support for the ethtool rx-frames coalescing parameter which allows
defining the number of RX interrupts per frames received. The RDMA
engine supports a configurable timeout with a resolution of
approximately 8.192 us.
We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would
fire for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE
interrupt purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1.

Configuring the ethtool tx-frames property, which translates into N
packets before a TX interrupt is the simplest configuration scheme
because it requires no locking neither at the softare nor hardware
level, and is completely indepedent from the link speed. Since ethtool
does not allow per-tx queue coalescing parameters, we apply the same
setting to any transmit queue.
We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would fire
for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE interrupt
purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a
PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1, but offers
interrupt coalescing when the value is > 1.
Since the HW is configured to generate an interrupt when the ring
becomes emtpy, we have to deny any timeout/timer settings coming from
user-space to indicate we can only generate an interrupt very <N>
packets.
While we are at it, fix the DMA_INTR_THRESHOLD_MASK value which was off
by one bit (0xff vs. 0x1ff).

bpf: performance improvements
v1->v2: dropped redundant iff_up check in patch 2
At plumbers we discussed different options on how to get rid of skb_clone
from bpf_clone_redirect(), the patch 2 implements the best option.
Patch 1 adds 'integrated exts' to cls_bpf to improve performance by

Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting
it to RX or TX of destination netdev.
Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning.
Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs.
One host is doing line rate pktgen.
Another host is configured as:
$ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop
so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1
The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program
that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop
which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps
and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as:
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \
bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1
performance is 2.5 Mpps
To summarize:
u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps
u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps
cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps
For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps
and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps

Then more interesting programs like the following are easier to write:

In commit b73c3d0e4f ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf

We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets
of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to
also use skb->hash to perform slave selection.
Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did
in commit 265f94ff54 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing
advice") for established sockets.
This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black
holes, even at connection establish phase.

====================
Passing net through the netfilter hooks
My primary goal with this patchset and it's follow ups is to cleanup the
network routing paths so that we do not look at the output device to
derive the network namespace. My plan is to pass the network namespace
of the transmitting socket through the output path, to replace code that
looks at the output network device today. Once that is done we can have
routes with output devices outside of the current network namespace.
Which should allow reception and transmission of packets in network
namespaces to be as fast as normal packet reception and transmission
with early demux disabled, because it will same code path.
Once skb_dst(skb)->dev is a little better under control I think it will
also be possible to use rcu to cleanup the ancient hack that sets
dst->dev to loopback_dev when a network device is removed.
The work to get there is a series of code cleanups. I am starting with
passing net into the netfilter hooks and into the functions that are
called after the netfilter hooks. This removes from netfilter the
need to guess which network namespace it is working on.
To get there I perform a series of minor prep patches so the big changes
at the end are possible to audit without getting lost in the noise. In
particular I have a lot of patches computing net into a local variable
and then using it through out the function.
So this patchset encompases removing dead code, sorting out the _sk
functions that were added last time someone pushed a prototype change
through the post netfilter functions. Cleaning up individual functions
use of the network namespace. Passing net into the netfilter hooks.
Passing net into the post netfilter functions. Using state->net in
the netfilter code where it is available and trivially usable.
Pablo, Dave I don't know whose tree this makes more sense to go
through. I am assuming at least initially Pablos as netfilter is
involved. From what I have seen there will be a lot of back and forth
between the netfilter code paths and the routing code paths.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

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.
