Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree
in this 4.4 development cycle, they are:
1) Schedule ICMP traffic to IPVS instances, this introduces a new schedule_icmp
proc knob to enable/disable it. By default is off to retain the old
behaviour. Patchset from Alex Gartrell.
I'm also including what Alex originally said for the record:
"The configuration of ipvs at Facebook is relatively straightforward. All
ipvs instances bgp advertise a set of VIPs and the network prefers the
nearest one or uses ECMP in the event of a tie. For the uninitiated, ECMP
deterministically and statelessly load balances by hashing the packet
(usually a 5-tuple of protocol, saddr, daddr, sport, and dport) and using
that number as an index (basic hash table type logic).
The problem is that ICMP packets (which contain really important
information like whether or not an MTU has been exceeded) will get a
different hash value and may end up at a different ipvs instance. With no
information about where to route these packets, they are dropped, creating
ICMP black holes and breaking Path MTU discovery. Suddenly, my mom's
pictures can't load and I'm fielding midday calls that I want nothing to do
with.
To address this, this patch set introduces the ability to schedule icmp
packets which is gated by a sysctl net.ipv4.vs.schedule_icmp. If set to 0,
the old behavior is maintained -- otherwise ICMP packets are scheduled."
2) Add another proc entry to ignore tunneled packets to avoid routing loops
from IPVS, also from Alex.
3) Fifteen patches from Eric Biederman to:
* Stop passing nf_hook_ops as parameter to the hook and use the state hook
object instead all around the netfilter code, so only the private data
pointer is passed to the registered hook function.
* Now that we've got state->net, propagate the netns pointer to netfilter hook
clients to avoid its computation over and over again. A good example of how
this has been simplified is the former TEE target (now nf_dup infrastructure)
since it has killed the ugly pick_net() function.
There's another round of netns updates from Eric Biederman making the line. To
avoid the patchbomb again to almost all the networking mailing list (that is 84
patches) I'd suggest we send you a pull request with no patches or let me know
if you prefer a better way.

The Hisilicon Network Subsystem is a long term evolution IP which is
supposed to be used in Hisilicon ICT SoC. The IP, which is called hns
for short, is a TCP/IP acceleration engine, which can directly decode
TCP/IP stream and distribute them to different ring buffers.
HNS can be configured to work on different mode for different scenario.
This patch make use only some of the mode to make it as standard
ethernet NIC. The other mode will be added soon.
The whole function has 4 kernel sub-modules:
hnae: the HNS acceleration engine framework. It provides a abstract
interface between the engine and the upper layers which make use of the
engine by ring buffer.
hns_enet_drv: a standard ethernet driver that base on the ring buffer.
hns_dsaf: one of the implementation of HNS acceleration engine, which is
applied on Hililicon hip05, Hi1610 and other later-on SoCs
hns_mdio: the mdio control to the PHY, used by acceleration engine

In DRA72x EVM, by default slave 1 is connected to the onboard
phy, but slave 2 pins are also muxed with video input module
which is controlled by pcf857x gpio and currently to select slave
0 to connect to phy gpio hogging is used, but with
omap2plus_defconfig the pcf857x gpio is built as module. So when
using NFS on DRA72x EVM, board doesn't boot as gpio hogging do
not set proper gpio state to connect slave 0 to phy as it is
built as module and you do not see any errors for not setting
gpio and just mentions dhcp reply not got.
To solve this issue, introducing "mode-gpios" in DT when gpio
based muxing is required. This will throw a warning when gpio
get fails and returns probe defer. When gpio-pcf857x module is
installed, cpsw probes again and ethernet becomes functional.
Verified this on DRA72x with pcf as module and ramdisk.

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
"A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup
changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.
Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:
- bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.
- Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.
- Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.
Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:
cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't
have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.
This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This
makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
implemented by cfq.
- Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.
- Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.
Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:
This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.
- alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped.
- alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.
- blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
allocation.
- all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
blkcg.
And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
handling:
blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset
tries to improve the situation a bit.
- The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps
colllecting common stats on bio issue.
- per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek.
- cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core
support both by default.
- cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
multiple times. Unify them"

As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags
is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while
estimating the size of unused memory.
Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the
page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate
over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an
up-to-date value. To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:
- it does not count unmapped file pages
- it affects the reclaimer logic
To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.
The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.
Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

"This is a fairly sizeable set of changes. I've put them through a
decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
that.
There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
than waiting for those last few fixups.
Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack. We
deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
back if we can deprecate another one (ehca). We also put Intel's new
hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
that library.
I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
deletions of deprecated drivers are done.
