* net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.Jarek Poplawski2009-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

* netsched: Allow meta match on vlan tag on receiveStephen Hemminger2009-04-13
| | | | | | | | | When vlan acceleration is used on receive, the vlan tag is maintained outside of the skb data. The existing vlan tag match only works on TX path because it uses vlan_get_tag which tests for VLAN_HW_TX_ACCEL. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.Jarek Poplawski2009-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858 I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock. This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds, which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently htb_do_events() breaks events recounting for a level after 2 jiffies, but there is no reason to repeat this for next levels and increase delays even more (with softirqs disabled). htb_dequeue_tree() can add to this too, btw.

* net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28Michael Marineau2009-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org> Commit b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb "Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device. Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did.

| * | | pkt_sched: remove unnecessary xchg() in packet classifiersPatrick McHardy2008-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of xchg() hasn't been necessary since 2.2.something when proper locking was added to packet schedulers. In the case of classifiers they mostly weren't even necessary before that since they're mainly used to assign a NULL pointer to the filter root in the ->destroy path; the root is destroyed immediately after that.

| * | | pkt_sched: add DRR schedulerPatrick McHardy2008-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ. The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are handled by each individual child qdisc.

| * | | netdev: network device operations infrastructureStephen Hemminger2008-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure. This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once. For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers. After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable. Some function pointers aren't moved: * destructor can't be in net_device_ops because it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded. * neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special consideration * hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

| * | | pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc.Jarek Poplawski2008-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After implementing qdisc->ops->peek() and changing sch_netem into classless qdisc there are no more qdisc->ops->requeue() users. This patch removes this method with its wrappers (qdisc_requeue()), and also unused qdisc->requeue structure. There are a few minor fixes of warnings (htb_enqueue()) and comments btw. The idea to kill ->requeue() and a similar patch were first developed by David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
