This patch adds support for adaptive interrupt coalescing.
For small pkts with low pkt rate, we can decrease the coalescing interrupt
dynamically which decreases the latency. This however increases the cpu
utilization. Based on testing with different coal intr and pkt rate we came up
with a table(mod_table) with rx_rate and coalescing interrupt value where we
get low latency without significant increase in cpu. mod_table table stores
the coalescing timer percentage value for different throughputs.
Function enic_calc_int_moderation() calculates the desired coalescing intr timer
value. This function is called in driver rx napi_poll. The actual value is set
by enic_set_int_moderation() which is called when napi_poll is complete. i.e
when we unmask the rx intr.
Adaptive coal intr is support only when driver is using msix intr. Because
intr is not shared.
Struct mod_range is used to store only the default adaptive coalescing intr
value.
Adaptive coal intr calue is calculated by
timer = range_start + ((rx_coal->range_end - range_start) *
mod_table[index].range_percent / 100);
rx_coal->range_end is the rx-usecs-high value set using ethtool.
range_start is rx-usecs-low, set using ethtool, if rx_small_pkt_bytes_cnt is
greater than 2 * rx_large_pkt_bytes_cnt. i.e small pkts are dominant. Else its
rx-usecs-low + 3.

tun_do_read always adds current thread to wait queue, even if a packet
is ready to read. This is inefficient because both sleeper and waker
want to acquire the wait queue spin lock when packet rate is high.
We restructure the read function and use common kernel networking
routines to handle receive, sleep and wakeup. With the change
available packets are checked first before the reading thread is added
to the wait queue.
Ran performance tests with the following configuration:
- my packet generator -> tap1 -> br0 -> tap0 -> my packet consumer
- sender pinned to one core and receiver pinned to another core
- sender send small UDP packets (64 bytes total) as fast as it can
- sandy bridge cores
- throughput are receiver side goodput numbers
The results are
baseline: 731k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.50 cpus
changed: 783k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.53 cpus
The performance difference is largely determined by packet rate and
inter-cpu communication cost. For example, if the sender and
receiver are pinned to different cpu sockets, the results are
baseline: 558k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.71 cpus
changed: 690k pkts/sec, cpu utilization at 1.67 cpus

The upper timer_interval limit is arbitrary and much higher
than anything usable in the real world. Reducing it from 15s
to ~4s to make the timer_interval fit in an u32 does not make
much difference. The limit is still outside the practical
bounds.
This eliminates the need for a 64bit timer_interval, fixing a
build error related to 64bit division:

cdc_ncm: add buffer tuning and stats using ethtool
Quoting the previous description of this series (skip to the
changelog below if you only want a summary of the changes):
"I have got quite a few reports from frustrated users of OpenWRT
hosts trying to use some powerful LTE modem, but not achieving
full speed. This is typically caused by a combination of
big buffers and little memory, giving in allocation errors and
bad performance as a result.
This series is an attempt to let users adjust the size of these
buffers without having to rebuild the driver.
Patches 1 - 4 are mostly rearranging existing code, in preparing
for the dynamic buffer size changes.
Patch 5 adds userspace control (ab)using the ethtool coalescing
API. This isn't a perfect match, which is the main reason why I
post this series as a RFC.
Patch 6 is an unrelated framing optimization, reducing the
overhead quite a bit and allowing for better use of smaller
buffers.
Patch 7 changes the way we calculate frame padding cutoff. The
problem with big buffers is made much worse by the current padding
strategy where zero padding often can account for more than 90% of
the frames.
Patch 8 add some counters giving some insight into how well the
NCM/MBIM protocol works, supporting further tuning.
Patch 9 reduce the initial maximum buffer size from 32kB to 16kB
in an attempt to make the default better suit all. It is still
possible to tune this up again to the old fixed max, using the
new tuning knobs.
I must admit that I had higher hopes for this series before I
tested it on my own modems. One really unexpected result was
that one of the MBIM modems accepted the new rx buffer size we
set, but happily continued sending buffers of the same size as
before. Needless to say: This did not work very well...
So don't really expect to be able to use any values with any
given device. Firmware implementations are still... I don't
think I have words suitable for a public mailing list.
But I am hoping this will help the many users who have had success
rebuilding the driver with lower fixed limits.
Please test and/or comment!"
Changes:
** RFC -> v1 **
Patch 10 - a follow-up to a comment Joe Perches made in November
2013. I don't always forget :-)
Patch 11 - removes the redundant "connected" driver state, and the
associated .check_connect callbacks.
** v1 -> v2 **
Patch 1 - Better handling of minium rx buffer size, based on feedback
from Oliver Neukum and Enrico Mioso
Patch 5 - fixed locking around timer interval update
Patch 9 - fixed whitespace error
Patch 12 - new fix related to the tuneable tx timer
...and spelling fixes all over the commit messages. I have finally
added a spelling hook, which I'm sure may of you will appreciate :-)

To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.
Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.
With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.
Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

We pad frames larger than X to maximum size for devices which
don't need a ZLP after maximum sized frames. This allows the
device to optimize its transfers for one fixed buffer size.
X was arbitrarily set at 512 bytes regardless of real buffer
maximum, causing extreme overheads due to excessive padding of
larger tx buffers. Limit the padding to at most 3 full USB
packets, still allowing the overhead to payload ratio of 3/1.

Many newer NCM and MBIM devices will request a maximum tx
datagram count which is much smaller than our hard-coded
absolute max. We can reduce the overhead without sacrificing
any of the simplicity for these devices, by simply using the
true negotiated count in when calculated the maximum NTH and
NDP header sizes.

Datagram coalescing is an integral part of the NCM and MBIM
protocols, intended to reduce the interrupt load primarily
on the device end of the USB link. As with all coalescing
solutions, there is a trade-off between buffering and
interrupts.
The current defaults are based on the assumption that device
side buffers should be the limiting factor. However, many
modern high speed LTE modems suffers from buffer-bloat,
making this assumption fail. This results in sub-optimal
performance due to excessive coalescing. And in cases where
such modems are connected to cheap embedded hosts there is
often severe buffer allocation issues, giving very noticeable
performance degradation .
A start on improving this is going from build time hard
coded limits to per device user configurable limits. The
ethtool coalescing API was selected as user interface
because, although the tuned values are buffer sizes, these
settings directly control datagram coalescing.

====================
802154: implement link-layer security
This patch series implements 802.15.4-2011 link layer security.
Patches 1 and 2 prepare for llsec by adding data structures to represent the
llsec PIB as specified in 802.15.4-2011. I've changed some structures from
their specification to be more sensible, since 802.15.4 specifies some
structures in not-exactly-useful ways. Nested lists are common, but not very
accessible for netlink methods, and not very fast to traverse when searching
for specific elements either.
Patch 3 implements backends for these structures in mac802154.
Patch 4 and 5 implement the encryption and decryption methods, split from patch
3 to ease review. The encryption and decryption methods are almost entirely
compliant with the specified outgoing/incoming frame procedures. Decryption
deviates from the specification slightly where the specification makes no
sense, i.e. encrypted frames with security level 0 may be sent, but must be
dropped an reception - but transforms for processing such frames are given a
few lines in the standard. I've opted to not drop these frames instead of not
implementing the transforms that wouldn't be used if they were dropped.
Patch 6 links the mac802154 llsec with the SoftMAC devices. This is mainly
init//fini code for llsec context, handling of security subheaders and calling
the encryption/decryption methods.
Patch 7 adds sockopts to 802.15.4 dgram sockets to modifiy outgoing security
parameters on a per-socket basis. Ideally, this would also be available for
sockets on 6lowpan devices, but I'm not sure how to do that nicely.
Patch 8 adds forwarders to the llsec configuration methods for netlink, patch
10 implements these netlink accessors. This is mainly mechanical.
Patch 11, implements a key tracking option for devices that previous patches
haven't, because I'm not entirely sure whether this is the best approach to the
problem. It performs reasonably well though, so I decided to include it as a
separate patch in this series instead of sending an RFC just for this one
option.
