2016-05-09ifb: support more featuresEric Dumazet1-0/+3
When using ifb+netem on ingress on SIT/IPIP/GRE traffic, GRO packets are not properly processed. Segmentation should not be forced, since ifb is already adding quite a performance hit. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-04-17act_mirred: Fix bogus header when redirecting from VLANHerbert Xu1-1/+1
When you redirect a VLAN device to any device, you end up with crap in af_packet on the xmit path because hard_header_len is not equal to skb->mac_len. So the redirected packet contains four extra bytes at the start which then gets interpreted as part of the MAC address. This patch fixes this by only pushing skb->mac_len. We also need to fix ifb because it tries to undo the pushing done by act_mirred.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet1-1/+2
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

2013-11-06net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz1-0/+5
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. 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!

Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?) only set NETIF_F_TSO :) Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;) For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ?

2009-05-18net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet1-0/+1
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller1-3/+9
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-08netdev: The ingress_lock member is no longer needed.David S. Miller1-4/+4
Every qdisc is assosciated with a queue, and in the case of ingress qdiscs that will now be netdev->rx_queue so using that queue's lock is the thing to do. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-08netdev: Move queue_lock into struct netdev_queue.David S. Miller1-4/+4
The lock is now an attribute of the device queue. One thing to notice is that "suspicious" places emerge which will need specific training about multiple queue handling. They are so marked with explicit "netdev->rx_queue" and "netdev->tx_queue" references. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-03-20[NET] ifb: set separate lockdep classes for queue locksJarek Poplawski1-0/+15

This patch is only to tell lockdep that ifb is a different device (e.g. from eth) and has its own pair of queue locks. (This warning is a false-positive in common scenario of using ifb; yet there are possible situations, when this order could be dangerous; lockdep should warn in such a case.)

2007-10-10[NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink codeJeff Garzik1-18/+2
We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device, and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us. Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable. This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers remain to be updated.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+2
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-07-11[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link API simplificationPatrick McHardy1-52/+6
All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function. While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that takes the rtnl itself completely useless. Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and change the existing users to take advantage of that.

2007-03-29[IFB]: Fix crash on input device removalPatrick McHardy1-22/+13
The input_device pointer is not refcounted, which means the device may disappear while packets are queued, causing a crash when ifb passes packets with a stale skb->dev pointer to netif_rx().
