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. All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been updated. Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <decot@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

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>

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.

2011-04-05ethtool: 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.

2011-03-22net: implement dev_disable_lro() hw_features compatibilityMichał Mirosław2-9/+12
Implement compatibility with new hw_features for dev_disable_lro(). This is a transition path - dev_disable_lro() should be later integrated into netdev_fix_features() after all drivers are converted.

__ethtool_set_sg does not check if dev->ethtool_ops->set_sg is defined which can result in a NULL pointer dereference when ethtool is used to change SG settings for drivers without SG support.

2011-03-16net: introduce rx_handler results and logic around thatJiri Pirko2-8/+14
This patch allows rx_handlers to better signalize what to do next to it's caller. That makes skb->deliver_no_wcard no longer needed. kernel-doc for rx_handler_result is taken from Nicolas' patch.

2011-03-14pktgen: bug fix in transmission headers with frags=0Daniel Turull1-2/+1
(bug introduced by commit 26ad787962ef84677a48c560 (pktgen: speedup fragmented skbs) The headers of pktgen were incorrectly added in a pktgen packet without frags (frags=0). There was an offset in the pktgen headers. The cause was in reusing the pgh variable as a return variable in skb_put when adding the payload to the skb.
