2014-10-22hyperv: Fix the total_data_buflen in send pathHaiyang Zhang1-0/+1
total_data_buflen is used by netvsc_send() to decide if a packet can be put into send buffer. It should also include the size of RNDIS message before the Ethernet frame. Otherwise, a messge with total size bigger than send_section_size may be copied into the send buffer, and cause data corruption.

2014-08-04Drivers: net-next: hyperv: Increase the size of the sendbuf regionKY Srinivasan2-6/+3
Intel did some benchmarking on our network throughput when Linux on Hyper-V is as used as a gateway. This fix gave us almost a 1 Gbps additional throughput on about 5Gbps base throughput we hadi, prior to increasing the sendbuf size. The sendbuf mechanism is a copy based transport that we have which is clearly more optimal than the copy-free page flipping mechanism (for small packets). In the forwarding scenario, we deal only with MTU sized packets, and increasing the size of the senbuf area gave us the additional performance. For what it is worth, Windows guests on Hyper-V, I am told use similar sendbuf size as well. The exact value of sendbuf I think is less important than the fact that it needs to be larger than what Linux can allocate as physically contiguous memory. Thus the change over to allocating via vmalloc(). We currently allocate 16MB receive buffer and we use vmalloc there for allocation. Also the low level channel code has already been modified to deal with physically dis-contiguous memory in the ringbuffer setup. Based on experimentation Intel did, they say there was some improvement in throughput as the sendbuf size was increased up to 16MB and there was no effect on throughput beyond 16MB. Thus I have chosen 16MB here. Increasing the sendbuf value makes a material difference in small packet handling In this version of the patch, based on David's feedback, I have added additional details in the commit log.

We send packets using a copy-free mechanism (this is the Guest to Host transport via VMBUS). While this is obviously optimal for large packets, it may not be optimal for small packets. Hyper-V host supports a second mechanism for sending packets that is "copy based". We implement that mechanism in this patch. In this version of the patch I have addressed a comment from David Miller. With this patch (and all of the other offload and VRSS patches), we are now able to almost saturate a 10G interface between Linux VMs on Hyper-V on different hosts - close to 9 Gbps as measured via iperf.

This will lead the flush won't succeed forever. Solve this by not canceling and flushing the work, this is safe because the transmission done by NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS was synchronized with the netif_tx_disable() called by netvsc_change_mtu().
