* net: Detect and ignore netif_stop_queue() calls before register_netdev()Guillaume Chazarain2010-11-08

* vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.Jesse Gross2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping it in the networking core. This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the following: * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing the header if no group * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main receive routines * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic out in upper layers, such as bonding. There are a number of advantages to this: * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once. * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode). * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely necessary. * Consolidates common code in core networking.

* vlan: Avoid hash table lookup to find group.Jesse Gross2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we always know the device when we are looking up a group. We currently do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is much simpler to just store a pointer. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* vlan: Enable software emulation for vlan accleration.Jesse Gross2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware accleration.

* net: allocate tx queues in register_netdeviceTom Herbert2010-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces netif_alloc_netdev_queues which is called from register_device instead of alloc_netdev_mq. This makes TX queue allocation symmetric with RX allocation. Also, queue locks allocation is done in netdev_init_one_queue. Change set_real_num_tx_queues to fail if requested number < 1 or greater than number of allocated queues.

* net: percpu net_device refcountEric Dumazet2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers, mmap af_packet) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.

* neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init()Eric Dumazet2010-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with the neigh rwlock write locked. Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour, so we find it and increment its refcount. This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in parallel by concurrent cpus. This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a98a5f (introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones, removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue enabled machines. Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic ops.

* net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counterEric Dumazet2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not the actual number in use. For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.

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.

| * | | | udp: Add UFO to NETIF_F_SOFTWARE_GSOHerbert Xu2010-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds UFO to the list of GSO features with a software fallback. This allows UFO to be used even if the hardware does not support it. In particular, this allows us to test the UFO fallback, as it has been reported to not work in some cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
