2011-05-13net:set valid name before calling ndo_init()Peter Pan(潘卫平)1-4/+4
In commit 1c5cae815d19 (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice), a bug of bonding was involved, see example 1 and 2. In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until dev_get_valid_name() is called. But dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(that is bond_init) is called before dev_get_valid_name(), and it uses the invalid name of net_device. I think register_netdevice() should make sure that the name of net_device is valid before calling ndo_init(). example 1: modprobe bonding ls /proc/net/bonding/bond%d ps -eLf root 3398 2 3398 0 1 21:34 ? 00:00:00 [bond%d] example 2: modprobe bonding max_bonds=3 [ 170.100292] bonding: Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011) [ 170.101090] bonding: Warning: either miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target module parameters must be specified, otherwise bonding will not detect link failures! see bonding.txt for details.

2011-05-13ethtool: Added support for FW dumpAnirban Chakraborty1-0/+90
Added code to take FW dump via ethtool. Dump level can be controlled via setting the dump flag. A get function is provided to query the current setting of the dump flag. Dump data is obtained from the driver via a separate get function. Changes from v3: Fixed buffer length issue in ethtool_get_dump_data function. Updated kernel doc for ethtool_dump struct and get_dump_flag function. Changes from v2: Provided separate commands for get flag and data. Check for minimum of the two buffer length obtained via ethtool and driver and use that for dump buffer Pass up the driver return error codes up to the caller. Added kernel doc comments.

veth devices dont use the batched device unregisters yet. Since veth are a pair of devices, it makes sense to use a batch of two unregisters, this roughly divides dismantle time by two. Fix this by changing dellink() callers to always provide a non NULL head.

2011-05-08net: Allow ethtool to set interface in loopback mode.Mahesh Bandewar1-1/+1
This patch enables ethtool to set the loopback mode on a given interface. By configuring the interface in loopback mode in conjunction with a policy route / rule, a userland application can stress the egress / ingress path exposing the flows of the change in progress and potentially help developer(s) understand the impact of those changes without even sending a packet out on the network. Following set of commands illustrates one such example - a) ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1 b) ip -4 rule add from all iif eth1 lookup 250 c) ip -4 route add local 0/0 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 250 d) arp -Ds 192.168.1.100 eth1 e) arp -Ds 192.168.1.200 eth1 f) sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 g) sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_local=1 # Assuming that the machine has 8 cores h) taskset 000f netserver -L 192.168.1.200 i) taskset 00f0 netperf -t TCP_CRR -L 192.168.1.100 -H 192.168.1.200 -l 30 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-02net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet2-8/+7
Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed. It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu read section.

2011-04-29ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned dataDavid Decotigny2-14/+34
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

2011-04-25bonding: move processing of recv handlers into handle_frame()Jiri Pirko1-21/+0
Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode. Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged thanks to vlan_untag() Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

2011-04-14ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identificationAllan, Bruce W1-15/+16
When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation, it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states. Some drivers may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals. This patch changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for identifying an adapter. The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id. Compile tested only.

Most multiqueue drivers pair up RX and TX queues so that most channels combine RX and TX work. o Please could you use a kernel-doc comment to describe the structure.

2011-04-12net: Disable all TSO features when SG is disabledBen Hutchings1-3/+3
The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. However, the test in netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags. Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if scatter-gather is disabled. Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so user-space sees all TSO features as disabled. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-04-12net: vlan: make non-hw-accel rx path similar to hw-accelJiri Pirko1-1/+7
Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive. For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole __netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in __netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers) see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

2011-04-11ethtool: prevent null pointer dereference with NTUPLE set but no set_rx_ntupleAlexander Duyck1-0/+3
This change is meant to prevent a possible null pointer dereference if NETIF_F_NTUPLE is defined but the set_rx_ntuple function pointer is not. The main motivation behind this patch is to eventually replace the ntuple interfaces entirely with the network flow classifier interfaces. This allows the device drivers to maintain the ntuple check internally while using the network flow classifier interface for setting up and displaying rules.

2011-04-05ethtool: Change ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID implementation to allow dropping RTNLBen Hutchings1-2/+53
The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates, device enumeration, and various important operations that one might want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED. We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and drivers may well depend upon holding the lock. Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously). When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting and only acquires it around calls to this operation. Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be removed once all in-tree drivers are converted. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
2011-04-04net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmitTom Herbert2-1/+13
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

2011-03-30netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabledDaniel Lezcano1-2/+22
In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled, we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger than the expected value. This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled when we want to check the mtu size.

After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX, and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not match current settings and can not be changed by driver. Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future (also on drivers that do not have the problem).
