Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This has been a quiet cycle for RDMA, the big bulk is the usual
  smallish driver updates and bug fixes. About four new uAPI related
  things. Not as much Szykaller patches this time, the bugs it finds are
  getting harder to fix.

  Summary:

   - More work cleaning up the RDMA CM code

   - Usual driver bug fixes and cleanups for qedr, qib, hfi1, hns,
     i40iw, iw_cxgb4, mlx5, rxe

   - Driver specific resource tracking and reporting via netlink

   - Continued work for name space support from Parav

   - MPLS support for the verbs flow steering uAPI

   - A few tricky IPoIB fixes improving robustness

   - HFI1 driver support for the '16B' management packet format

   - Some auditing to not print kernel pointers via %llx or similar

   - Mark the entire 'UCM' user-space interface as BROKEN with the
     intent to remove it entirely. The user space side of this was long
     ago replaced with RDMA-CM and syzkaller is finding bugs in the
     residual UCM interface nobody wishes to fix because nobody uses it.

   - Purge more bogus BUG_ON's from Leon

   - 'flow counters' verbs uAPI

   - T10 fixups for iser/isert, these are Acked by Martin but going
     through the RDMA tree due to dependencies"

The FPGA queue pair (QP) event fires whenever a QP on the FPGA
transitions to the error state.

At this stage, this event is unrecoverable, it may become recoverable
in the future.

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces support for the MPLS flow spec and
allows the creation of rules that are matching on the
MPLS label.

Applying the rule matching depends on the flow specs order and
the location of the MPLS in the spec list as there are different
configurations to be made in the device in the cases of MPLSoGRE
and MPLSoUDP vs. non-encapsulated MPLS.

Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Doug and I are at a conference next week so if another PR is sent I
  expect it to only be bug fixes. Parav noted yesterday that there are
  some fringe case behavior changes in his work that he would like to
  fix, and I see that Intel has a number of rc looking patches for HFI1
  they posted yesterday.

  Parav is again the biggest contributor by patch count with his ongoing
  work to enable container support in the RDMA stack, followed by Leon
  doing syzkaller inspired cleanups, though most of the actual fixing
  went to RC.

  There is one uncomfortable series here fixing the user ABI to actually
  work as intended in 32 bit mode. There are lots of notes in the commit
  messages, but the basic summary is we don't think there is an actual
  32 bit kernel user of drivers/infiniband for several good reasons.

  However we are seeing people want to use a 32 bit user space with 64
  bit kernel, which didn't completely work today. So in fixing it we
  required a 32 bit rxe user to upgrade their userspace. rxe users are
  still already quite rare and we think a 32 bit one is non-existing.

   - Fix RDMA uapi headers to actually compile in userspace and be more
     complete

   - Three shared with netdev pull requests from Mellanox:

      * 7 patches, mostly to net with 1 IB related one at the back).
        This series addresses an IRQ performance issue (patch 1),
        cleanups related to the fix for the IRQ performance problem
        (patches 2-6), and then extends the fragmented completion queue
        support that already exists in the net side of the driver to the
        ib side of the driver (patch 7).

      * Mostly IB, with 5 patches to net that are needed to support the
        remaining 10 patches to the IB subsystem. This series extends
        the current 'representor' framework when the mlx5 driver is in
        switchdev mode from being a netdev only construct to being a
        netdev/IB dev construct. The IB dev is limited to raw Eth queue
        pairs only, but by having an IB dev of this type attached to the
        representor for a switchdev port, it enables DPDK to work on the
        switchdev device.

      * All net related, but needed as infrastructure for the rdma
        driver

   - Updates for the hns, i40iw, bnxt_re, cxgb3, cxgb4, hns drivers

   - SRP performance updates

   - IB uverbs write path cleanup patch series from Leon

   - Add RDMA_CM support to ib_srpt. This is disabled by default. Users
     need to set the port for ib_srpt to listen on in configfs in order
     for it to be enabled
     (/sys/kernel/config/target/srpt/discovery_auth/rdma_cm_port)

   - TSO and Scatter FCS support in mlx4

   - Refactor of modify_qp routine to resolve problems seen while
     working on new code that is forthcoming

   - More refactoring and updates of RDMA CM for containers support from
     Parav

   - mlx5 'fine grained packet pacing', 'ipsec offload' and 'device
     memory' user API features

   - Infrastructure updates for the new IOCTL interface, based on
     increased usage

   - ABI compatibility bug fixes to fully support 32 bit userspace on 64
     bit kernel as was originally intended. See the commit messages for
     extensive details

   - Syzkaller bugs and code cleanups motivated by them"

<content type='text'>
This patch adds querying of device memory capabilities by the mlx5_core
driver during initialization.

Device memory capabilities is a new capability type and structure
which contains the necessary data that is needed for future device
memory allocation.

The presence of this new capabilities struct is indicated in the
general capabilities struct which is queried first by the driver.
If the presence bit is set, the driver will also query the new
capabilities struct and save it in the device context.

<title>net/mlx5e: Use linear SKB in Striding RQ</title>
<updated>2018-03-30T23:54:49Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=619a8f2a42f1031cdbd74435b6a9191eb4913139'/>
<id>urn:sha1:619a8f2a42f1031cdbd74435b6a9191eb4913139</id>
<content type='text'>
Current Striding RQ HW feature utilizes the RX buffers so that
there is no wasted room between the strides. This maximises
the memory utilization.
This prevents the use of build_skb() (which requires headroom
and tailroom), and demands to memcpy the packets headers into
the skb linear part.

In this patch, whenever a set of conditions holds, we apply
an RQ configuration that allows combining the use of linear SKB
on top of a Striding RQ.

To use build_skb() with Striding RQ, the following must hold:
1. packet does not cross a page boundary.
2. there is enough headroom and tailroom surrounding the packet.

We can satisfy 1 and 2 by configuring:
	stride size = MTU + headroom + tailoom.

This is possible only when:
a. (MTU - headroom - tailoom) does not exceed PAGE_SIZE.
b. HW LRO is turned off.

Using linear SKB has many advantages:
- Saves a memcpy of the headers.
- No page-boundary checks in datapath.
- No filler CQEs.
- Significantly smaller CQ.
- SKB data continuously resides in linear part, and not split to
  small amount (linear part) and large amount (fragment).
  This saves datapath cycles in driver and improves utilization
  of SKB fragments in GRO.
- The fragments of a resulting GRO SKB follow the IP forwarding
  assumption of equal-size fragments.

Some implementation details:
HW writes the packets to the beginning of a stride,
i.e. does not keep headroom. To overcome this we make sure we can
extend backwards and use the last bytes of stride i-1.
Extra care is needed for stride 0 as it has no preceding stride.
We make sure headroom bytes are available by shifting the buffer
pointer passed to HW by headroom bytes.

This configuration now becomes default, whenever capable.
Of course, this implies turning LRO off.

Performance testing:
ConnectX-5, single core, single RX ring, default MTU.

UDP packet rate, early drop in TC layer:

--------------------------------------------
| pkt size | before    | after     | ratio |
--------------------------------------------
| 1500byte | 4.65 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.28x |
|  500byte | 5.23 Mpps | 5.97 Mpps | 1.14x |
|   64byte | 5.94 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.00x |
--------------------------------------------

TCP streams: ~20% gain
