mac80211: minstrel_ht: replace rate stats ewma with a better moving average
Rate success probability usually fluctuates a lot under normal conditions.
With a simple EWMA, noise and fluctuation can be reduced by increasing the
window length, but that comes at the cost of introducing lag on sudden
changes.
This change replaces the EWMA implementation with a moving average that's
designed to significantly reduce lag while keeping a bigger window size
by being better at filtering out noise.
It is only slightly more expensive than the simple EWMA and still avoids
divisions in its calculation.
The algorithm is adapted from an implementation intended for a completely
different field (stock market trading), where the tradeoff of lag vs
noise filtering is equally important. It is based on the "smoothing filter"
from http://www.stockspotter.com/files/PredictiveIndicators.pdf.
I have adapted it to fixed-point math with some constants so that it uses
only addition, bit shifts and multiplication
To better make use of the filtering and bigger window size, the update
interval time is cut in half.
For testing, the algorithm can be reverted to the older one via debugfs

mac80211: simplify TX aggregation start
There really is no need to make drivers call the

schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit.
Add a new return value (that was previously considered
invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately
ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The
only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones
as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.
nl80211: Document the expectation for NL80211_ATTR_IE in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT
This commit documents the expectation for NL80211_ATTR_IE when included

Driver shall not modify the IEs specified through NL80211_ATTR_IE if
NL80211_ATTR_MAC is included. However, if NL80211_ATTR_MAC_HINT is
included, these IEs through NL80211_ATTR_IE are specified by the user
space based on the best possible BSS selected. Thus, if the driver ends
up selecting a different BSS, it can modify these IEs accordingly (e.g.
userspace asks the driver to perform PMKSA caching with BSS1 and the
driver ends up selecting BSS2 with different PMKSA cache entry. RSNIE
has to get updated with the apt PMKID).

mlxsw: PCI: Send EMAD traffic on a separate queue
Currently mlxsw distributes sent traffic among all the available send
queues. That includes control traffic as well as EMADs, which are used for
configuration of the device.
However because all the queues have the same traffic class of 3, they all
end up being directed to the same traffic class buffer. If the control
traffic in the buffer cannot be serviced quickly enough, the EMAD traffic
might be shut out, which causes transient failures, typically in FDB
maintenance, counter upkeep and other periodic work.
To address this issue, dedicate SDQ 0 to EMAD traffic, with TC 0.
Distribute the control traffic among the remaining queues, which are left
with their current TC 3.

net_sched: remove need_resched() from qdisc_run()
The introduction of this schedule point was done in commit e1f438977089 ("[NET]: Add preemption point in qdisc_run")
at a time the loop was not bounded.
Then later in commit 510684c7cbca ("net_sched: fix dequeuer fairness")
we added a limit on the number of packets.
Now is the time to remove the schedule point, since the default
limit of 64 packets matches the number of packets a typical NAPI
poll can process in a row.
This solves a latency problem for most TCP receivers under moderate load :
1) host receives a packet.
NET_RX_SOFTIRQ is raised by NIC hard IRQ handler
2) __do_softirq() does its first loop, handling NET_RX_SOFTIRQ
and calling the driver napi->loop() function
3) TCP stores the skb in socket receive queue:
4) TCP calls sk->sk_data_ready() and wakeups a user thread
waiting for EPOLLIN (as a result, need_resched() might now be true)
5) TCP cooks an ACK and sends it.
6) qdisc_run() processes one packet from qdisc, and sees need_resched(),
this raises NET_TX_SOFTIRQ (even if there are no more packets in
the qdisc)
Then we go back to the __do_softirq() in 2), and we see that new
softirqs were raised. Since need_resched() is true, we end up waking
ksoftirqd in this path :
if (pending) {
if (time_before(jiffies, end) && !need_resched() &&
--max_restart)
goto restart;
wakeup_softirqd();
}
So we have many wakeups of ksoftirqd kernel threads,
and more calls to qdisc_run() with associated lock overhead.
Note that another way to solve the issue would be to change TCP
to first send the ACK packet, then signal the EPOLLIN,
but this changes P99 latencies, as sending the ACK packet
can add a long delay.

====================
Experimental SMB rootfs support
This patch series enables Linux to mount root file systems over the
network by utilizing SMB protocol.
Upstream commit b39ded2ab863 ("cifs: Add support for root file
systems") introduced a new CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option, a virtual device
(Root_CIFS) and a kernel cmdline parameter "cifsroot=" which tells the
kernel to actually mount the root filesystem over a SMB share.
The feature relies on ipconfig to set up the network prior to mounting
the rootfs, so when it is set along with "cifsroot=" parameter:
(1) cifs_root_setup() parses all necessary data out of "cifsroot="
parameter for the init process know how to mount the SMB rootfs
(e.g. SMB server address, mount options).
(2) If DHCP failed for some reason in ipconfig, we keep retrying
forever as we have nowhere to go for NFS or SMB root
filesystems (see PATCH 2/2). Otherwise go to (3).
(3) mount_cifs_root() is then called by mount_root() (ROOT_DEV ==
Root_CIFS), retrieves early parsed data from (1), then attempt to
mount SMB rootfs by CIFSROOT_RETRY_MAX times at most (see PATCH
1/2).
(4) If all attempts failed, fall back to floppy drive, otherwise
continue the boot process with rootfs mounted over a SMB share.
My idea was to keep the same behavior of nfsroot - as it seems to work
for most users so far.

net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for

with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit: 0123456789012345
enp131s0f1npf0vf6
enp131s0f1npf0vf22
Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
create custom rules to handle them.
Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
* Type of names:
* b<number> - BCMA bus core number
* c<bus_id> - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
* with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
* o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - on-board device index number
* s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - hotplug slot index number
* x<MAC> - MAC address
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - PCI geographical location
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
* - USB port number chain
* v<slot> - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
* a<vendor><model>i<instance> - Platform bus ACPI instance id
* i<addr>n<phys_port_name> - Netdevsim bus address and port name
One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
Main goal is to:
1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan

Merge branch 'hugepage-fallbacks' (hugepatch patches from David Rientjes)
Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.

mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

Since commit af95e50adb9d ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 5d556d2cb2ee ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a

In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel

scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.
Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)
The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"

on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.
- Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
clients to resend their writes.
- Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
has a lot of clients.
- Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.
- Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials
when a client reclaims state after a reboot.
And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup"

Pull fuse virtio-fs support from Miklos Szeredi:
"Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting
them in guest(s).
This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.
It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
memory use.
Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
has been interest from other sources as well.
The userspace infrastructure is slated to be merged into qemu once the
kernel part hits mainline.
This was developed by Vivek Goyal, Dave Gilbert and Stefan Hajnoczi"

tcp: better handle TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in SYN_SENT state
Yuchung Cheng and Marek Majkowski independently reported a weird
behavior of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT option when used at connect() time.
When the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is reached, tcp_write_timeout()
believes the flow should live, and the following condition
in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() programs one jiffie timers :
remaining = icsk->icsk_user_timeout - elapsed;
if (remaining <= 0)
return 1; /* user timeout has passed; fire ASAP */
This silly situation ends when the max syn rtx count is reached.
This patch makes sure we honor both TCP_SYNCNT and TCP_USER_TIMEOUT,
avoiding these spurious SYN packets.

retains the tc skb extension, after this patch all three get cleared.

tcp_bbr: fix quantization code to not raise cwnd if not probing bandwidth
There was a bug in the previous logic that attempted to ensure gain cycling
gets inflight above BDP even for small BDPs. This code correctly raised and
lowered target inflight values during the gain cycle. And this code
correctly ensured that cwnd was raised when probing bandwidth. However, it
did not correspondingly ensure that cwnd was *not* raised in this way when
*not* probing for bandwidth. The result was that small-BDP flows that were
always cwnd-bound could go for many cycles with a fixed cwnd, and not probe
or yield bandwidth at all. This meant that multiple small-BDP flows could
fail to converge in their bandwidth allocations.

Ido Schimmel says:
====================
mlxsw: Various fixes
This patchset includes two small fixes for the mlxsw driver and one
patch which clarifies recently introduced devlink-trap documentation.
Patch #1 clears the port's VLAN filters during port initialization. This
ensures that the drop reason reported to the user is consistent. The
problem is explained in detail in the commit message.
Patch #2 clarifies the description of one of the traps exposed via
devlink-trap.
Patch #3 from Danielle forbids the installation of a tc filter with
multiple mirror actions since this is not supported by the device. The
failure is communicated to the user via extack.

mlxsw: spectrum: Clear VLAN filters during port initialization
When a port is created, its VLAN filters are not cleared by the
firmware. This causes tagged packets to be later dropped by the ingress
STP filters, which default to DISCARD state.
The above did not matter much until commit f313c87b4f4e ("mlxsw:
spectrum: Add devlink-trap support") where we exposed the drop reason to
users.
Without this patch, the drop reason users will see is not consistent. If
a port is enslaved to a VLAN-aware bridge and a packet with an invalid
VLAN tries to ingress the bridge, it will be dropped due to ingress STP
filter. If the VLAN is later enabled and then disabled, the packet will
be dropped by the ingress VLAN filter despite the above being a
seemingly NOP operation.
Fix this by clearing all the VLAN filters during port initialization.
Adjust the test accordingly.

ptp: correctly disable flags on old ioctls
Commit 0ce00852ae62 ("PTP: introduce new versions of IOCTLs",
2019-09-13) introduced new versions of the PTP ioctls which actually
validate that the flags are acceptable values.
As part of this, it cleared the flags value using a bitwise
and+negation, in an attempt to prevent the old ioctl from accidentally
enabling new features.
This is incorrect for a couple of reasons. First, it results in
accidentally preventing previously working flags on the request ioctl.
By clearing the "valid" flags, we now no longer allow setting the
enable, rising edge, or falling edge flags.
Second, if we add new additional flags in the future, they must not be
set by the old ioctl. (Since the flag wasn't checked before, we could
potentially break userspace programs which sent garbage flag data.
The correct way to resolve this is to check for and clear all but the
originally valid flags.
Create defines indicating which flags are correctly checked and
interpreted by the original ioctls. Use these to clear any bits which
will not be correctly interpreted by the original ioctls.
In the future, new flags must be added to the VALID_FLAGS macros, but
*not* to the V1_VALID_FLAGS macros. In this way, new features may be
exposed over the v2 ioctls, but without breaking previous userspace
which happened to not clear the flags value properly. The old ioctl will
continue to behave the same way, while the new ioctl gains the benefit
of using the flags fields.
