* virtio: add virtio IDs fileFernando Luis Vazquez Cao2009-09-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* virtio: make add_buf return capacity remainingRusty Russell2009-09-231-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This API change means that virtio_net can tell how much capacity remains for buffers.

* net: group address list and its countJiri Pirko2009-06-181-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits: 1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer. 2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently on netdevices (with exporting right functions). I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.

If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner makes user experience that much better.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc... The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and one or more "in" sg entries. The first out entry contains a header defining the class and command. Additional out entries may provide data for the command. The last in entry provides a status response back from the command. Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function when there's data in the channel. We can't readily make use of this in the command paths where we need to use this. Instead, we kick the virtqueue and spin. The kick causes an I/O write, triggering an immediate trap into the hypervisor.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the VLAN tag. We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet.

* virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation)Mark McLoughlin2008-11-161-20/+153
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up 20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized packets from off-host. The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size. In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer. The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in the virtio_net_hdr. Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as fragments and free the associated skbs. This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100% improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s. Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

* netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3Wang Chen2008-11-121-1/+2

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+) skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers): Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase that from 128 to 2048: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to have a separate "small buffer" queue.

* virtio: use callback on empty in virtio_netRusty Russell2008-06-101-5/+17
| | | | | | | | | | virtio_net uses a timer to free old transmitted packets, rather than leaving callbacks enabled all the time. If the host promises to always notify us when the transmit ring is empty, we can free packets at that point and avoid the timer.

* virtio: virtio_net free transmit skbs in a timerMark McLoughlin2008-06-101-2/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | virtio_net currently only frees old transmit skbs just before queueing new ones. If the queue is full, it then enables interrupts and waits for notification that more work has been performed. However, a side-effect of this scheme is that there are always xmit skbs left dangling when no new packets are sent, against the Documentation/networking/driver.txt guideline: "... it is not allowed for your TX mitigation scheme to let TX packets "hang out" in the TX ring unreclaimed forever if no new TX packets are sent." Add a timer to ensure that any time we queue new TX skbs, we will shortly free them again. This fixes an easily reproduced hang at shutdown where iptables attempts to unload nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack waits for an skb it is tracking to be freed, but virtio_net never frees it.

* virtio_net: Fix skb->csum_start computationMark McLoughlin2008-06-101-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hdr->csum_start is the offset from the start of the ethernet header to the transport layer checksum field. skb->csum_start is the offset from skb->head. skb_partial_csum_set() assumes that skb->data points to the ethernet header - i.e. it computes skb->csum_start by adding the headroom to hdr->csum_start. Since eth_type_trans() skb_pull()s the ethernet header, skb_partial_csum_set() should be called before eth_type_trans(). (Without this patch, GSO packets from a guest to the world outside the host are corrupted).

* virtio: fix delayed xmit of packet and freeing of old packets.Rusty Russell2008-05-301-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | Because we cache the last failed-to-xmit packet, if there are no packets queued behind that one we may never send it (reproduced here as TCP stalls, "cured" by an outgoing ping).

* virtio: fix virtio_net xmit of freed skb bugRusty Russell2008-05-301-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we fail to transmit a packet, we assume the queue is full and put the skb into last_xmit_skb. However, if more space frees up before we xmit it, we loop, and the result can be transmitting the same skb twice. Fix is simple: set skb to NULL if we've used it in some way, and check before sending. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
