* [PATCH] S2io: Large Receive Offload (LRO) feature(v2) for Neterion (s2io) ↵Ravinandan Arakali2006-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 10GbE Xframe PCI-X and PCI-E NICs Hi, Below is a patch for the Large Receive Offload feature. Please review and let us know your comments. LRO algorithm was described in an OLS 2005 presentation, located at ftp.s2io.com user: linuxdocs password: HALdocs The same ftp site has Programming Manual for Xframe-I ASIC. LRO feature is supported on Neterion Xframe-I, Xframe-II and Xframe-Express 10GbE NICs. Brief description: The Large Receive Offload(LRO) feature is a stateless offload that is complementary to TSO feature but on the receive path. The idea is to combine and collapse(upto 64K maximum) in the driver, in-sequence TCP packets belonging to the same session. It is mainly designed to improve 1500 mtu receive performance, since Jumbo frame performance is already close to 10GbE line rate. Some performance numbers are attached below. Implementation details: 1. Handle packet chains from multiple sessions(current default MAX_LRO_SESSSIONS=32). 2. Examine each packet for eligiblity to aggregate. A packet is considered eligible if it meets all the below criteria. a. It is a TCP/IP packet and L2 type is not LLC or SNAP. b. The packet has no checksum errors(L3 and L4). c. There are no IP options. The only TCP option supported is timestamps. d. Search and locate the LRO object corresponding to this socket and ensure packet is in TCP sequence. e. It's not a special packet(SYN, FIN, RST, URG, PSH etc. flags are not set). f. TCP payload is non-zero(It's not a pure ACK). g. It's not an IP-fragmented packet. 3. If a packet is found eligible, the LRO object is updated with information such as next sequence number expected, current length of aggregated packet and so on. If not eligible or max packets reached, update IP and TCP headers of first packet in the chain and pass it up to stack. 4. The frag_list in skb structure is used to chain packets into one large packet. Kernel changes required: None Performance results: Main focus of the initial testing was on 1500 mtu receiver, since this is a bottleneck not covered by the existing stateless offloads. There are couple disclaimers about the performance results below: 1. Your mileage will vary!!!! We initially concentrated on couple pci-x 2.0 platforms that are powerful enough to push 10 GbE NIC and do not have bottlenecks other than cpu%; testing on other platforms is still in progress. On some lower end systems we are seeing lower gains. 2. Current LRO implementation is still (for the most part) software based, and therefore performance potential of the feature is far from being realized. Full hw implementation of LRO is expected in the next version of Xframe ASIC. Performance delta(with MTU=1500) going from LRO disabled to enabled: IBM 2-way Xeon (x366) : 3.5 to 7.1 Gbps 2-way Opteron : 4.5 to 6.1 Gbps Signed-off-by: Ravinandan Arakali <ravinandan.arakali@neterion.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

* [PATCH] b44: fix laptop carrier detectStephen Hemminger2006-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | On my laptop, the b44 device is created and the carrier state defaults to ON when created by alloc_etherdev. This means tools like NetworkManager see the carrier as On and try and bring the device up. The correct thing to do is mark the carrier as Off when device is created.

| | * [SCTP]: Fix machine check/connection hang on IA64.Vlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sctp_unpack_cookie used an on-stack array called digest as a result/out parameter in the call to crypto_hmac. However, hmac code (crypto_hmac_final) assumes that the 'out' argument is in virtual memory (identity mapped region) and can use virt_to_page call on it. This does not work with the on-stack declared digest. The problems observed so far have been: a) incorrect hmac digest b) machine check and hardware reset. Solution is to define the digest in an identity mapped region by kmalloc'ing it. We can do this once as part of the endpoint structure and re-use it when verifying the SCTP cookie.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects the panic by casting the argument to the pointer of correct size. On big-endian systems we ended up loading only 32 bits of data because we are treating the pointer as an int*. By treating this pointer as loff_t*, we'll load the full 64 bits and then let regular integer demotion take place which will give us the correct value.

| | * [SCTP]: sctp doesn't show all associations/endpoints in /procVlad Yasevich2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a very large number of associations (and endpoints), /proc/assocs and /proc/eps will not show all of them. As a result netstat will not show all of the either. This is particularly evident when creating 1000+ associations (or endpoints). As an example with 1500 tcp style associations over loopback, netstat showed 1420 on my system instead of 3000. The reason for this is that the seq_operations start method is invoked multiple times bacause of the amount of data that is provided. The start method always increments the position parameter and since we use the position as the hash bucket id, we end up skipping hash buckets. This patch corrects this situation and get's rid of the silly hash-1 decrement. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com>

The layout of the cookie prameter is this: |<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures (timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal structures. This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that it is properly aligned. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com>

This is most easily seen with an X application that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs. You hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds. The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains the observed incorrect behavior.
