* mdio-gpio: Add reset functionality to mdio-gpio driver(v2).Srinivas Kandagatla2011-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds phy reset functionality to mdio-gpio driver. Now mdio_gpio_platform_data has new member as function pointer which can be filled at the bsp level for a callback from phy infrastructure. Also the mdio-bitbang driver fills-in the reset function of mii_bus structure. Without this patch the bsp level code has to takecare of the reseting PHY's on the bus, which become bit hacky for every bsp and phy-infrastructure is ignored aswell.

* IPv6 routing, NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn ↵Matti Vaittinen2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | about missing CREATE flag The support for NLM_F_* flags at IPv6 routing requests. If NLM_F_CREATE flag is not defined for RTM_NEWROUTE request, warning is printed, but no error is returned. Instead new route is added. Later NLM_F_CREATE may be required for new route creation. Exception is when NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given without NLM_F_CREATE, and no matching route is found. In this case it should be safe to assume that the request issuer is familiar with NLM_F_* flags, and does really not want route to be created. Specifying NLM_F_REPLACE flag will now make the kernel to search for matching route, and replace it with new one. If no route is found and NLM_F_CREATE is specified as well, then new route is created. Also, specifying NLM_F_EXCL will yield returning of error if matching route is found.

* bnx2x: uses build_skb() in receive pathEric Dumazet2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bnx2x uses following formula to compute its rx_buf_sz : dev->mtu + 2*L1_CACHE_BYTES + 14 + 8 + 8 + 2 Then core network adds NET_SKB_PAD and SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) Final allocated size for skb head on x86_64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64, MTU=1500) : 2112 bytes : SLUB/SLAB round this to 4096 bytes. Since skb truesize is then bigger than SK_MEM_QUANTUM, we have lot of false sharing because of mem_reclaim in UDP stack. One possible way to half truesize is to reduce the need by 64 bytes (2112 -> 2048 bytes) Instead of allocating a full cache line at the end of packet for alignment, we can use the fact that skb_shared_info sits at the end of skb->head, and we can use this room, if we convert bnx2x to new build_skb() infrastructure. skb_shared_info will be initialized after hardware finished its transfert, so we can eventually overwrite the final padding. Using build_skb() also reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff structures is lower, they are recycled while still hot.

* net: introduce build_skb()Eric Dumazet2011-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack. In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring. This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC. By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot of things happened between the allocation and final use. So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb, initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network stack. build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some drivers might add a hardware provided alignment) Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting incoming frame. data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), GFP_ATOMIC); ... skb = build_skb(data); if (!skb) { recycle_data(data); } else { skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN); ... } Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> CC: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> CC: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@mojatatu.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> CC: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> CC: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: introduce ethernet teaming deviceJiri Pirko2011-11-13

It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference. We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load. We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios. This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as well. On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg() calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

* sch_choke: use skb_header_pointer()Eric Dumazet2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the assumption that skb_get_rxhash() makes IP header and ports linear, and use skb_header_pointer() instead in choke_match_flow() This permits __skb_get_rxhash() to use skb_header_pointer() eventually.

* net: make ipv6 PKTINFO honour freebindMaciej Żenczykowski2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | This just makes it possible to spoof source IPv6 address on a socket without having to create and bind a new socket for every source IP we wish to spoof. Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: make ipv6 bind honour freebindMaciej Żenczykowski2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes native ipv6 bind follow the precedent set by: - native ipv4 bind behaviour - dual stack ipv4-mapped ipv6 bind behaviour. This does allow an unpriviledged process to spoof its source IPv6 address, just like it currently can spoof its source IPv4 address (for example when using UDP).
