2023-12-13net: ethtool: add support for symmetric-xor RSS hashAhmed Zaki
Symmetric RSS hash functions are beneficial in applications that monitor both Tx and Rx packets of the same flow (IDS, software firewalls, ..etc). Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in higher CPU cache efficiency. A NIC that supports "symmetric-xor" can achieve this RSS hash symmetry by XORing the source and destination fields and pass the values to the RSS hash algorithm. The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific algorithm, via: # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> symmetric-xor or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by: # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> The specific fields for each flow type should then be specified as usual via: # ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n Reviewed-by: Wojciech Drewek <wojciech.drewek@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ahmed Zaki <ahmed.zaki@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231213003321.605376-4-ahmed.zaki@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2023-12-02Documentations: Analyze heavily used Networking related structsCoco Li
Analyzed a few structs in the networking stack by looking at variables within them that are used in the TCP/IP fast path. Fast path is defined as TCP path where data is transferred from sender to receiver unidirectionally. It doesn't include phases other than TCP_ESTABLISHED, nor does it look at error paths. We hope to re-organizing variables that span many cachelines whose fast path variables are also spread out, and this document can help future developers keep networking fast path cachelines small. Optimized_cacheline field is computed as (Fastpath_Bytes/L3_cacheline_size_x86), and not the actual organized results (see patches to come for these). Investigation is done on 6.5 Name Struct_Cachelines Cur_fastpath_cache Fastpath_Bytes Optimized_cacheline tcp_sock 42 (2664 Bytes) 12 396 8 net_device 39 (2240 bytes) 12 234 4 inet_sock 15 (960 bytes) 14 922 14 Inet_connection_sock 22 (1368 bytes) 18 1166 18 Netns_ipv4 (sysctls) 12 (768 bytes) 4 77 2 linux_mib 16 (1060) 6 104 2 Note how there isn't much improvement space for inet_sock and Inet_connection_sock because sk and icsk_inet respectively takes up so much of the struct that rest of the variables become a small portion of the struct size. So, we decided to reorganize tcp_sock, net_device, netns_ipv4 Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Coco Li <lixiaoyan@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2023-11-17docs: automarkup: linkify git revsVegard Nossum
There aren't a ton of references to commits in the documentation, but they do exist, and we can use automarkup to linkify them to make them easier to follow. Use something like this to find references to commits: git grep -P 'commit.*[0-9a-f]{8,}' Documentation/ Also fix a few of these to standardize on the exact format that is already used in changelogs.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see. Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system. The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure yet. Other smaller changes in here are: - Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's getting close. - rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and structures - vme_user coding style cleanups - other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers - octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches it.)

Aviator/Raytheon is an early PCMCIA driver, apparently predating 802.11b and only supporting wireless extensions. The driver has been orphaned since 2010 and only seen cosmetic updates long before than. Jean Tourrilhes pointed out in a 2005 changelog that he tested a change on actual hardware, which was apparently already noteworthy back then.

2023-10-27Documentation/tcp: Add TCP-AO documentationDmitry Safonov
It has Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RFC 5925 - I found it very useful answering those before writing the actual code. It provides answers to common questions that arise on a quick read of the RFC, as well as how they were answered. There's also comparison to TCP-MD5 option, evaluation of per-socket vs in-kernel-DB approaches and description of uAPI provided. Hopefully, it will be as useful for reviewing the code as it was for writing.

2023-10-25mptcp: add a new sysctl for make after break timeoutPaolo Abeni
The MPTCP protocol allows sockets with no alive subflows to stay in ESTABLISHED status for and user-defined timeout, to allow for later subflows creation. Currently such timeout is constant - TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN. Let the user-space configure them via a newly added sysctl, to better cope with busy servers and simplify (make them faster) the relevant pktdrill tests. Note that the new know does not apply to orphaned MPTCP socket waiting for the data_fin handshake completion: they always wait TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN.

No significant improvements have been done to this driver since commit a7c3ddf29a78 ("staging: qlge: clean up debugging code in the QL_ALL_DUMP ifdef land") in January 2021. The driver should not stay in staging forever. Since it has been abandoned by the vendor and no one has stepped up to maintain it, delete it. If some users manifest themselves, the driver will be restored to drivers/net/ as suggested in the linked message.
