| * net, wireless: overwrite default_ethtool_opsStanislaw Gruszka2013-01-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since: commit 2c60db037034d27f8c636403355d52872da92f81 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Date: Sun Sep 16 09:17:26 2012 +0000 net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops wireless core does not correctly assign ethtool_ops. After alloc_netdev*() call, some cfg80211 drivers provide they own ethtool_ops, but some do not. For them, wireless core provide generic cfg80211_ethtool_ops, which is assigned in NETDEV_REGISTER notify call: if (!dev->ethtool_ops) dev->ethtool_ops = &cfg80211_ethtool_ops; But after Eric's commit, dev->ethtool_ops is no longer NULL (on cfg80211 drivers without custom ethtool_ops), but points to &default_ethtool_ops. In order to fix the problem, provide function which will overwrite default_ethtool_ops and use it by wireless core.

* | net: Export __netdev_pick_tx so that it can be used in modulesAlexander Duyck2013-01-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When testing with FCoE enabled we discovered that I had not exported __netdev_pick_tx. As a result ixgbe doesn't build with the RFC patches applied because ixgbe_select_queue was calling the function. This change corrects that build issue by correctly exporting __netdev_pick_tx so it can be used by modules. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | net: Add support for XPS without sysfs being definedAlexander Duyck2013-01-101-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it so that we can support transmit packet steering without sysfs needing to be enabled. The reason for making this change is to make it so that a driver can make use of the XPS even while the sysfs portion of the interface is not present.

* | net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issuesAlexander Duyck2013-01-101-66/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is meant to address several issues I found within the netif_set_xps_queues function. If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue. To address that I split the process into several steps. The first of which is just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to store the queue. By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually altering the contents of the current device map. The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new device map even if we were not adding any queues. I have updated the code so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues, otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the removal process. The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove the queue from the CPU. By making this change we can be consistent in how we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuseAlexander Duyck2013-01-101-23/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few items I noticed. First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. Since there is no need to have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in netif_set_xps_queue. The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset. This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps value is set. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queueAlexander Duyck2013-01-101-0/+155
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change splits the core bits of netdev_pick_tx into a separate function.

* | net_sched: more precise pkt_len computationEric Dumazet2013-01-101-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire. Headers are only accounted for the first segment. For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing, an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value. As consequences : 1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits. 2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well. Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len computation. Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch skb->cb[] first word. Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a (net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

We would like the same for transport_header. __netif_receive_skb() doesn't reset the transport header if already set by GRO layer. Note that network stacks usually reset the transport header anyway, after pulling the network header, so this change only allows a followup patch to have more precise qdisc pkt_len computation for GSO packets at ingress side.

| * net: dev_change_net_namespace: send a KOBJ_REMOVED/KOBJ_ADDSerge Hallyn2012-12-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent to ns1. When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and nothing to ns1. This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2. (The KOBJ_MOVE is still sent to ns2). The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in an upstart based host. Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each. When one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away. This was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589 With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away. The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is started in the container. But when the container creates a new nic itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are created. With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host. v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns. There will then be a _MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should be innocuous.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface name, have it return the name directly. This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions the argument being an interface name. If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero to indicate there is no interface name present.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops in normal trafic condition: commit c0de08d04215031d68fa13af36f347a6cfa252ca Author: Eric Leblond <eric@regit.org> Date:   Thu Aug 16 22:02:58 2012 +0000     af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable branches. When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed. This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in this case.

* vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocolsFlorian Zumbiehl2012-10-081-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

* net: gro: selective flush of packetsEric Dumazet2012-10-081-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

* net: gro: fix a potential crash in skb_gro_reset_offsetEric Dumazet2012-10-071-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before accessing skb first fragment, better make sure there is one. This is probably not needed for old kernels, since an ethernet frame cannot contain only an ethernet header, but the recent GRO addition to tunnels makes this patch needed. Also skb_gro_reset_offset() can be static, it actually allows compiler to inline it.

This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around. Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user namespace changes. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new include file (include/net/gro_cells.h), to bring GRO (Generic Receive Offload) capability to tunnels, in a modular way. Because tunnels receive path is lockless, and GRO adds a serialization using a napi_struct, I chose to add an array of up to DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RSS_QUEUES cells, so that multi queue devices wont be slowed down because of GRO layer. skb_get_rx_queue() is used as selector. In the future, we might add optional fanout capabilities, using rxhash for example. With help from Ben Hutchings who reminded me netif_get_num_default_rss_queues() function.

If we unregister this net device's driver, this will trigger the NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event, dst_ifdown will be called, and get this net device's dst entries from dst_garbage list, put these entries' dev to the new net namespace's lo device. It's not what we want,actually we need these dst entries hold the original net namespace's lo device,this incorrect device holding will trigger emg message like below. unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
