From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang(a)nokia-bell-labs.com>
Hello,
Please find the DualPI2 patch v21.
This patch serise adds DualPI Improved with a Square (DualPI2) with following features:
* Supports congestion controls that comply with the Prague requirements in RFC9331 (e.g. TCP-Prague)
* Coupled dual-queue that separates the L4S traffic in a low latency queue (L-queue), without harming remaining traffic that is scheduled in classic queue (C-queue) due to congestion-coupling using PI2 as defined in RFC9332
* Configurable overload strategies
* Use of sojourn time to reliably estimate queue delay
* Supports ECN L4S-identifier (IP.ECN==0b*1) to classify traffic into respective queues
For more details of DualPI2, please refer IETF RFC9332 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9332).
Best regards,
Chia-Yu

v9 (16-Mar-2025)
- Fix mem_usage error in previous version
- Add min_qlen_step to the dualpi2 attribute as the minimum queue length in number of packets in the L-queue to start step threshold marking.
In previous versions, this value was fixed to 2, so the step threshold was applied to mark packets in the L queue only when the queue length of the L queue was greater than or equal to 2 packets.
This will cause larger queuing delays for L4S traffic at low rates (<20Mbps). So we parameterize it and change the default value to 0.

2.34.1
A few packets may still be sent and received during the termination of
the iperf processes. These late packets cause failures when they arrive
on queues expected to be empty.
Add a one second delay between repeated _send_traffic_check() calls in
rss_ctx tests to ensure such packets are processed before the next
traffic checks are performed.
Example failure observed:
Check failed 2 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 1):
[0, 0, 1, 1, 386385, 397196, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...]
Check failed 4 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 2):
[0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 247152, 253013, 0, 0, ...]
Check failed 2 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 3):
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 282434, 283070, ...]
Note: While the `noise` parameter could be used to tolerate these late
packets, it would be inappropriate here. `noise` tolerates far more
traffic than acceptable in this case, risking false positives.
Inactive queues are supposed to see zero traffic.

Hi Suresh,
Yes, this makes sense to me. I think what I was getting at was that we could
still make a conditional statement like
if (type == FILE_SHMEM)
ksft_print_msg("Unable to create shmem file.\n")'
else if (type == FILE_MMAP)
ksft_print_msg("Unable to create mmap file.\n");
(or use a switch statement)
...
And just refactor it in patch 2, as opposed to changing the behavior.
But this is mostly a nit. If you are planning to merge both patches in one
patch in the next version, then all of these comments shouldn't matter : -)
Looking forward to the next version, have a great day!

Hi everyone,
Here's a V2 for the netdevsim PHY support, including a bugfix for
NETDEVSIM=m as well as a round of shellcheck cleanups for
ethtool-phy.sh.
The idea of this series is to allow attaching virtual PHY devices to
netdevsim, so that we can test PHY-related ethtool commands. This can be
extended in the future for phylib testing as well.

About IMMUTABLE (No change for this part, tglx provide feedback)
> - This IMMUTABLE thing serves no purpose, because you don't randomly
> plug this end-point block on any MSI controller. They come as part
> of an SoC.
"Yes and no. The problem is that the EP implementation is meant to be a
generic library and while GIC-ITS guarantees immutability of the
address/data pair after setup, there are architectures (x86, loongson,
riscv) where the base MSI controller does not and immutability is only
achieved when interrupt remapping is enabled. The latter can be disabled
at boot-time and then the EP implementation becomes a lottery across
affinity changes.
That was my concern about this library implementation and that's why I
asked for a mechanism to ensure that the underlying irqdomain provides a
immutable address/data pair.
So it does not matter for GIC-ITS, but in the larger picture it matters.
Thanks,
tglx

Changes in v14:
Marc Zyngier raised concerns about adding DOMAIN_BUS_DEVICE_PCI_EP_MSI. As
a result, the approach has been reverted to the v9 method. However, there
are several improvements:
MSI now supports msi-map in addition to msi-parent.
- The struct device: id is used as the endpoint function (EPF) device
identity to map to the stream ID (sideband information).
- The EPC device tree source (DTS) utilizes msi-map to provide such
information.
- The EPF device's of_node is set to the EPC controller’s node. This
approach is commonly used for multi-function device (MFD) platform child
devices, allowing them to inherit properties from the MFD device’s DTS,
such as reset-cells and gpio-cells. This method is well-suited for the
current case, as the EPF is inherently created/binded to the EPC and
should inherit the EPC’s DTS node properties.
Additionally:
Since the basic IMX95 LUT support has already been merged into the
mainline, a DTS and driver increment patch is added to complete the
solution. The patch is rebased onto the latest linux-next tree and
aligned with the new pcitest framework.

Changes in v10:
Thomas Gleixner:
There are big change in pci-ep-msi.c. I am sure if go on the
corrent path. The key improvement is remove only 1 function devices's
limitation.
I use new patch for imutable check, which relative additional
feature compared to base enablement patch.
- Remove patch Add msi_remove_device_irq_domain() in platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all()
- Add new patch irqchip/gic-v3-its: Avoid overwriting msi_prepare callback if provided by msi_domain_info
- Remove only support 1 endpoint function limiation.
- Create one MSI domain for each endpoint function devices.
- Use "msi-map" in pci ep controler node, instead of of msi-parent. first
argument is
(func_no << 8 | vfunc_no)
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241203-ep-msi-v9-0-a60dbc3f15dd@nxp.com
Changes in v9

- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241031-ep-msi-v4-0-717da2d99b28@nxp.com
Changes in v4:
- Remove patch genirq/msi: Add cleanup guard define for msi_lock_descs()/msi_unlock_descs()
- Use new method to avoid compatible problem.
Add new command DOORBELL_ENABLE and DOORBELL_DISABLE.
pcitest -B send DOORBELL_ENABLE first, EP test function driver try to
remap one of BAR_N (except test register bar) to ITS MSI MMIO space. Old
driver don't support new command, so failure return, not side effect.
After test, DOORBELL_DISABLE command send out to recover original map, so
pcitest bar test can pass as normal.

2.50.0
This series creates a new PMU scheme on ARM, a partitioned PMU that
allows reserving a subset of counters for more direct guest access,
significantly reducing overhead. More details, including performance
benchmarks, can be read in the v1 cover letter linked below.
v3:
* Return to using one kernel command line parameter for reserved host
counters, but set the default value meaning no partitioning to -1 so
0 isn't ambiguous. Adjust checks for partitioning accordingly.
* Move the function kvm_pmu_partition_supported() back out of the
driver to avoid subbing has_vhe in 32-bit ARM code.
* Fix the kernel test robot build failures, one with KVM and no PMU,
and one with PMU and no KVM.
* Scan entire series to remove vestigial changes and update comments.
