From 99d3d587b2b4314ccc8ea066cb327dfb523d598e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Liu Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:34 +0100 Subject: xen-netfront: convert to GRO API Anirban was seeing netfront received MTU size packets, which downgraded throughput. The following patch makes netfront use GRO API which improves throughput for that case.

The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement. Feedback would be appreciated! Signed-off-by: John Stultz Acked-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Alexey Kuznetsov Cc: "David S.

If finally the remaining request buffers in rx ring less than what backend driver expected, the backend driver would think of rx ring as full and start dropping packets. In such situation, there is no way for the netfront driver to recover automatically, so that the device can not work properly. The patch fixes the problem by always scheduling rx_refill_timer timer when alloc_page or __netdev_alloc_skb fails, no matter whether rx_batch queue is empty or not. It ensures that the rx ring request buffers will finally meet the backend needs. Signed-off-by: Ma JieYue Signed-off-by: David S.
