This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding
our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify().
addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses'
timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs).
In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough
(e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called
every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy.
(Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies
variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.)
However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy.
When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout
is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error.
When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several
events in very near future.

Under NET_DMA, data transfer can grind to a halt when userland issues a
large read on a socket with a high RCVLOWAT (i.e., 512 KB for both).
This appears to be because the NET_DMA design queues up lots of memcpy
operations, but doesn't issue or wait for them (and thus free the
associated skbs) until it is time for tcp_recvmesg() to return.
The socket hangs when its TCP window goes to zero before enough data is

that have completed, to prevent sockets from going into zero-window mode.

ixgbevf: Fix VF Stats accounting after reset
The counters in the 82599 Virtual Function are not clear on read. They
accumulate to the maximum value and then roll over. They are also not
cleared when the VF executes a soft reset, so it is possible they are
non-zero when the driver loads and starts. This has all been accounted
for in the code that keeps the stats up to date but there is one case
that is not. When the PF driver is reset the counters in the VF are
all reset to zero. This adds an additional accounting overhead into
the VF driver when the PF is reset under its feet. This patch adds
additional counters that are used by the VF driver to accumulate and
save stats after a PF reset has been detected. Prior to this patch
displaying the stats in the VF after the PF has reset would show
bogus data.

Allow retransmission of cloned buffers
This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic
that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs. Originally intended
as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that
were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC
from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the
secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a
set of bonded interfaces. This fix removes existing checks for

Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link
This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it
alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every
message sent, rather than after every 10 messages. This change helps
to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that
they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working,

net: core: add IFLA_STATS64 support
`ip -s link` shows interface counters truncated to 32 bit. This is
because interface statistics are transported only in 32-bit quantity
to userspace. This commit adds a new IFLA_STATS64 attribute that
exports them in full 64 bit.

rps: Receive Packet Steering
This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

RDS: Do not call set_page_dirty() with irqs off
set_page_dirty() unconditionally re-enables interrupts, so
if we call it with irqs off, they will be on after the call,
and that's bad. This patch moves the call after we've re-enabled
interrupts in send_drop_to(), so it's safe.
Also, add BUG_ONs to let us know if we ever do call set_page_dirty
with interrupts off.
