* net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit archesEric Dumazet2010-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

* loopback: use u64_stats_sync infrastructureEric Dumazet2010-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6b10de38f0ef (loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit arches) introduced 64bit stats in loopback driver, using a private seqcount and private helpers. David suggested to introduce a generic infrastructure, added in (net: Introduce u64_stats_sync infrastructure) This patch reimplements loopback 64bit stats using the u64_stats_sync infrastructure.

* loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit archesEric Dumazet2010-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uses a seqcount_t to synchronize stat producer and consumer, for packets and bytes counter, now u64 types. (dropped counter being rarely used, stay a native "unsigned long" type) No noticeable performance impact on x86, as it only adds two increments per frame. It might be more expensive on arches where smp_wmb() is not free. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet2009-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* loopback: packet drops accountingEric Dumazet2009-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can in some situations drop packets in netif_rx() loopback driver does not report these (unlikely) drops to its stats, and incorrectly change packets/bytes counts. After this patch applied, "ifconfig lo" can reports these drops as in : # ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:692562900 errors:3228 dropped:3228 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:692562900 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB) I initialy chose to reflect those errors only in tx_dropped/tx_errors, but David convinced me that it was really RX errors, as loopback_xmit() really starts a RX process. (calling eth_type_trans() for example, that itself pulls the ethernet header) These errors are accounted in rx_dropped/rx_errors.

Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes that the loopback device is the first device registered and the last network device to go away. But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after we clear dev_boot_phase.

* loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed settingHerbert Xu2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the network stack can handle inbound packets with partial checksums, we should no longer clobber the ip_summed field in the loopback driver. This is because CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY implies that the checksum field is actually valid which is not true for loopback packets since it's only partial (and thus complemented). This allows packets from lo to then be SNATed to an external source while still preserving the checksum's validity. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriateEric W. Biederman2007-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section. We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys. Which doesn't happen until module unload. So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways. - We discard it before we call the exit method it points to. - Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked list and does horrible things for linked insert.

* [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

* [NET]: Implement network device movement between namespacesEric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate a network device is local to a single network namespace and should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network namespace. This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace a function used to move a network device from one network namespace to another. To the network device nothing special appears to happen, to the components of the network stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered in the network namespace it is in, and a new device was registered in the network namespace the device was moved to. This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the movable network devices to the initial network namespace so they are not lost.

* [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
