* | [NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame sizePeter P Waskiewicz Jr2008-03-21
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails... Fixed the parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16. Fixed the whitespace issue due to a patch import botch. Changed the types from u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the area. Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree. Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a define for the max GSO size. Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree. Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to unsigned - thanks Stephen! This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO frame size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware. This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc. This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation offloading.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the unicast address list. The core of dev_mc_sync/unsync are split out as __dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are then used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well. I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as per the current draft specification in T11. When using such a protocol in a VLAN environment it would be nice to not always be forced into promiscuous mode, assuming the underlying Ethernet driver supports multiple unicast addresses as well.

* [NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.David S. Miller2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress. This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NET]: Do not grab device reference when scheduling a NAPI poll.David S. Miller2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [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.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted. Integrated Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bondingHerbert Xu2007-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it.

* [NET]: move dev_mc_discard from dev_mcast.c to dev.cDenis Cheng2007-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because this function is only called by unregister_netdevice, this moving could make this non-global function static, and also remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Any further, function __dev_addr_discard is also just called by dev_mc_discard and dev_unicast_discard, keeping this two functions both in one c file could make __dev_addr_discard also static and remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Futhermore, the sequential call to dev_unicast_discard and then dev_mc_discard in unregister_netdevice have a similar mechanism that: (netif_tx_lock_bh / __dev_addr_discard / netif_tx_unlock_bh), they should merged into one to eliminate duplicates in acquiring and releasing the dev->_xmit_lock, this would be done in my following patch.

Ingo Molnar reports complete breakage with his e1000 card (no networking, card reports transmit timeouts), and bisected it down to this commit. Let's figure out what went wrong, but not keep breaking machines until we do.

* [NET]: dev_mcast: add multicast list synchronization helpersPatrick McHardy2007-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The method drivers currently use to synchronize multicast lists is not very pretty: - walk the multicast list - search each entry on a copy of the previous list - if new add to lower device - walk the copy of the previous list - search each entry on the current list - if removed delete from lower device - copy entire list This patch adds a new field to struct dev_addr_list to store the synchronization state and adds two helper functions for synchronization and cleanup.
