mptcp: sysctl: add syn_retrans_before_tcp_fallback

2025-01-19T01:32:01Z

The number of SYN + MPC retransmissions before falling back to TCP was fixed to 2. This is certainly a good default value, but having a fixed number can be a problem in some environments. The current behaviour means that if all packets are dropped, there will be: - The initial SYN + MPC - 2 retransmissions with MPC - The next ones will be without MPTCP. So typically ~3 seconds before falling back to TCP. In some networks where some temporally blackholes are unfortunately frequent, or when a client tries to initiate connections while the network is not ready yet, this can cause new connections not to have MPTCP connections. In such environments, it is now possible to increase the number of SYN retransmissions with MPTCP options to make sure MPTCP is used. Interesting values are: - 0: the first retransmission will be done without MPTCP options: quite aggressive, but also a higher risk of detecting false-positive MPTCP blackholes. - >= 128: all SYN retransmissions will keep the MPTCP options: back to the < 6.12 behaviour. The default behaviour is not changed here.

net: ethtool: ts: add separate counter for unconfirmed one-step TX timestamps

2025-01-18T04:01:09Z

For packets with two-step timestamp requests, the hardware timestamp comes back to the driver through a confirmation mechanism of sorts, which allows the driver to confidently bump the successful "pkts" counter. For one-step PTP, the NIC is supposed to autonomously insert its hardware TX timestamp in the packet headers while simultaneously transmitting it. There may be a confirmation that this was done successfully, or there may not. None of the current drivers which implement ethtool_ops :: get_ts_stats() also support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC or HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC, so it is a bit unclear which model to follow. But there are NICs, such as DSA, where there is no transmit confirmation at all. Here, it would be wrong / misleading to increment the successful "pkts" counter, because one-step PTP packets can be dropped on TX just like any other packets. So introduce a special counter which signifies "yes, an attempt was made, but we don't know whether it also exited the port or not". I expect that for one-step PTP packets where a confirmation is available, the "pkts" counter would be bumped.

net: ethtool: add support for configuring hds-thresh

2025-01-15T22:42:11Z

The hds-thresh option configures the threshold value of the header-data-split. If a received packet size is larger than this threshold value, a packet will be split into header and payload. The header indicates TCP and UDP header, but it depends on driver spec. The bnxt_en driver supports HDS(Header-Data-Split) configuration at FW level, affecting TCP and UDP too. So, If hds-thresh is set, it affects UDP and TCP packets. Example: # ethtool -G hds-thresh # ethtool -G enp14s0f0np0 tcp-data-split on hds-thresh 256 # ethtool -g enp14s0f0np0 Ring parameters for enp14s0f0np0: Pre-set maximums: ... HDS thresh: 1023 Current hardware settings: ... TCP data split: on HDS thresh: 256 The default/min/max values are not defined in the ethtool so the drivers should define themself. The 0 value means that all TCP/UDP packets' header and payload will be split.

net: ethtool: add support for structured PHY statistics

2025-01-14T10:44:19Z

Introduce a new way to report PHY statistics in a structured and standardized format using the netlink API. This new method does not replace the old driver-specific stats, which can still be accessed with `ethtool -S `. The structured stats are available with `ethtool -S --all-groups`. This new method makes it easier to diagnose problems by organizing stats in a consistent and documented way. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni
