NFS_ROOT starts up before the random driver, though, so get_random_bytes doesn't set a random XID for NFS_ROOT. This causes NFS_ROOT mount points to reuse XIDs every time the client is booted. If the client boots often enough, the server will start serving old replies out of its DRC. Use net_random() instead. Test plan: I/O intensive workloads should perform well and generate no errors. Traces taken during client reboots should show that NFS_ROOT mounts use unique XIDs after every reboot.

This improves DRC behavior on the server by using the same port when reconnecting for the same mount point, but using a different port for fresh mounts. The Linux TCP implementation already does this for nonprivileged ports. Note that TCP sockets in TIME_WAIT will prevent quick reuse of a random ephemeral port number by leaving the port INUSE until the connection transitions out of TIME_WAIT. Test plan: Connectathon against every known server implementation using multiple mount points. Locking especially.

* | | | [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use itPaul Mackerras2006-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

This can happen when a NIC driver injects GSO packets into the stack which are then forwarded to another host. The primary application of this is going to be Xen where its backend driver may inject GSO packets into dom0. Of course this also can be used by other virtualisation schemes such as VMWare or UML since the tap device could be modified to inject GSO packets received through splice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload. The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just before the entry point into the NIC driver. The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | | [NET]: Prevent transmission after dev_deactivateHerbert Xu2006-06-232-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of lockless drivers. In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers. With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine of the underlying driver will be made. The idea is simple. There are two entry points in to the xmit routine. The first comes from dev_queue_xmit. That one is easily stopped by using synchronize_rcu. This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc before the synchronize_rcu call. That in turn causes all subsequent packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped. The synchronize_rcu call also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section. The other entry point is from qdisc_run. Since we now have a bit that indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the bit is off. I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear. This is useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again. It is also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run. I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still it's best if we don't do it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | | | [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-232-6/+7
|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

| * | | [NET]: Prevent multiple qdisc runsHerbert Xu2006-06-191-2/+9

It appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue lock while transmitting. That in turn is needed for devices that spend a lot of time in their transmit routine. There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a queue). Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered correctly. The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this. BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the new __qdisc_run function.
