Result of http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/seoul2017_netdev_keynote.pdf commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- TCP
Add a 2nd listener hash table for TCP, similar to what was done for UDP. It solves the performance issue when a process is listening at many IP addresses with the same port commit, commit, commit, commit
Enables tail loss probe in cwnd reduction (CWR) state to detect potential losses commit
Pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeout commit
Add netdevsim driver for testing various offloads commit, commit, commit, commit

- xfrm:
- erspan:
Add explicit support for GRO HW offloading commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Add flow table abstraction to netfilter. A new nf_flow_offload module is added that registers a hook at ingress. Every packet that hits the flow table is forwarded to where the flow table entry specifies in terms of destination/gateway and netdevice. In case of flow table miss, the packet follows the classic forward path. This flow table is populated via the new nftables VM action flow_offload, so the user can selectively specify what flows are placed into the flow table commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- IPv6
Add support for non-equal-cost multipath routes commit, commit, commit, commit
Align nexthop behaviour with IPv4 commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

devlink: Add support for resource abstraction commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
qdisk: Currently the filters added to qdiscs are independent, eg if you have 2 netdevices and you create ingress qdisc on both and you want to add identical filter rules both, you need to add them twice. This release allows to make things easier and saves resources allowing to share all filters within a qdisc commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
xdp: new XDP rx-queue info concept commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- Netfilter
- BFP
Add support for creating maps on networking devices. BPF is programs+maps, the pure program offload has been around for quite some time, this adds the map part of the equation commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Allow arbitrary function calls from bpf function to another bpf function commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Add the ability to do BPF directed error injection. A lot of our error paths are not well tested because there is no good way of injecting errors generically. Some subystems have ways to inject errors, but they are random so it's hard to get reproduceable results. With this mechanism it is possible to add determinism to our error injection commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Implement syscall command BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY for stacktrace map commit, commit
Implements MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command for LPM_TRIE map. This command is really useful for key enumeration, and for key deletion if what keys in the trie are unknown
Implement MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command for LPM_TRIE map commit, commit
Adds support for several sock_ops callbacks commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

Add initial platform support for the jailhouse hypervisor that allows native Linux guests (inmates) in non-root cells (guest partitions). Jailhouse was started 4 years ago as an open-source (GPL) light-weight hypervisor that statically partitions SMP systems. It's unique in that it uses one Linux instance, the root cell, as boot loader and management console. Jailhouse targets use cases for hard real-time and safety-critical systems that KVM cannot cater due to its inherent complexity commit
