* net: Kill plain NET_XMIT_BYPASS.David S. Miller2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | dst_input() was doing something completely absurd, looping on skb->dst->input() if NET_XMIT_BYPASS was seen, but these functions never return such an error. And as a result plain ole' NET_XMIT_BYPASS has no more references and can be completely killed off. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski2008-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

* netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.David S. Miller2008-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When support for multiple TX queues were added, the netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock. This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways. So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen" state for the individual TX queues.

* pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc.David S. Miller2008-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Idea is from Patrick McHardy. Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue. This solves all kinds of visibility issues during qdisc destruction. The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list. The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup(). That was not needed previously because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

* pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs for multiple transmit queues. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us. Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* pkt_sched: Make QDISC_RUNNING a qdisc state.David S. Miller2008-07-17

* pkt_sched: Move gso_skb into Qdisc.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | We liberate any dangling gso_skb during qdisc destruction. It really only matters for the root qdisc. But when qdiscs can be shared by multiple netdev_queue objects, we can't have the gso_skb in the netdev_queue any more. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netdev: netdev_priv() can now be sane again.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | The private area of a netdev is now at a fixed offset once more. Unfortunately, some assumptions that netdev_priv() == netdev->priv crept back into the tree. In particular this happened in the loopback driver. Make it use netdev->ml_priv. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S.

* netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

* vlan: deliver packets received with VLAN acceleration to network tapsPatrick McHardy2008-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs they are silently dropped.

* netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.David S. Miller2008-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow. Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a positive @inc will cause allmulti be off. This is not what we want, though it's rare case. The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error. Change of v2: Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int. So callers can get the overflow error. Caller's fix will be done later. Change of v3: 1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR, KERN_WARNING is enough. 2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we return at once.
