| * net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.Vlad Yasevich2013-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | net: reorder some fields of net_deviceEric Dumazet2013-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As time passed, some fields were added in net_device, and not at sensible offsets. Lets reorder some fields to reduce number of cache lines in RX path. Fields not used in data path should be moved out of this critical cache line. In particular, move broadcast[] to the end of the rx section, as it is less used, and ethernet uses only the beginning of the 32bytes field. Before patch : offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x258 offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x2b8 offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2c8 offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x278 After : offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x280 offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x298 offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2a8 offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x2b0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | netxen: write IP address to firmware when using bondingnikolay@redhat.com2013-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows LRO aggregation on bonded devices that contain an NX3031 device. It also adds a for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu(bond, slave) macro which executes for each slave that has bond as master. V3: After testing and discussing this with Rajesh, I decided to keep the vlan ip cache and just rename it to ip_cache since it will store bond ip addresses too. A new master flag has been added to the ip cache to denote that the address has been added because of a master device. I've taken care of the enslave/release cases by checking for various combinations of events and flags (e.g. netxen has a master, it's a bond master and it's not marked as a slave means it is being enslaved and is dev_open()ed in bond_enslave). I've changed netxen_free_ip_list() to have a "master" parameter which causes all IP addresses marked as master to be deleted (used when a netxen is being released). I've made the patch use the new upper device API as well. The following cases were tested: - bond -> netxen - vlan -> netxen - vlan -> bond -> netxen V2: Remove local ip caching, retrieve addresses dynamically and restore them if necessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier SG was unset if CSUM was not available for given device to force skb copy to avoid sending inconsistent csum.

* net: adjust skb_gso_segment() for calling in rx pathCong Wang2013-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_gso_segment() is almost always called in tx path, except for openvswitch. It calls this function when it receives the packet and tries to queue it to user-space. In this special case, the ->ip_summed check inside skb_gso_segment() is no longer true, as ->ip_summed value has different meanings on rx path.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

This prohibits them from being used by other bridging devices. One example of this being hardware that has embedded bridging components. In order to use these nlmsg types more generically this patch adds two net_device_ops hooks. One to set link bridge attributes and another to dump the current bride attributes. ndo_bridge_setlink() ndo_bridge_getlink() CC: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* / net: gro: fix possible panic in skb_gro_receive()Eric Dumazet2012-12-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 2e71a6f8084e (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head. Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer. napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to point to the last skb in frag_list. Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the last fragment. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems IPV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto can be destroyed in skb_gro_receive() if a new skb is allocated (to serve as an anchor for frag_list) We copy NAPI_GRO_CB() only (not the IPV6 specific part) in : *NAPI_GRO_CB(nskb) = *NAPI_GRO_CB(p); So we leave IPV6_GRO_CB(nskb)->proto to 0 (fresh skb allocation) instead of IPPROTO_TCP (6) ipv6_gro_complete() isnt able to call ops->gro_complete() [ tcp6_gro_complete() ] Fix this by moving proto in NAPI_GRO_CB() and getting rid of IPV6_GRO_CB Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: gro: selective flush of packetsEric Dumazet2012-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

* net: gro: fix a potential crash in skb_gro_reset_offsetEric Dumazet2012-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before accessing skb first fragment, better make sure there is one. This is probably not needed for old kernels, since an ethernet frame cannot contain only an ethernet header, but the recent GRO addition to tunnels makes this patch needed. Also skb_gro_reset_offset() can be static, it actually allows compiler to inline it.

This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around. Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user namespace changes. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.
