2010-07-09net: Document that dev_get_stats() returns the given pointerBen Hutchings1-2/+2
Document that dev_get_stats() returns the same stats pointer it was given. Remove const qualification from the returned pointer since the caller may do what it likes with that structure. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-07-09net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats unionBen Hutchings1-42/+28
In commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b "net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or conversion between the two. However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.

2010-07-09atm: propagate signal changes via notifierKarl Hiramoto1-0/+17
Add notifier chain for changes in atm_dev. Clients like br2684 will call register_atmdevice_notifier() to be notified of changes. Drivers will call atm_dev_signal_change() to notify clients like br2684 of the change. On DSL and ATM devices it's usefull to have a know if you have a carrier signal. netdevice LOWER_UP changes can be propagated to userspace via netlink monitor.

2010-07-07net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit archesEric Dumazet1-4/+8
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

2010-07-05net: Fix definition of netif_vdbg() when VERBOSE_DEBUG is definedBen Hutchings1-1/+1
netif_vdbg() was originally defined as entirely equivalent to netdev_vdbg(), but I assume that it was intended to take the same parameters as netif_dbg() etc. (Currently it is only used by the sfc driver, in which I worked on that assumption.) In commit a4ed89c I changed the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is not defined, but I failed to notice that the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined was also not as I expected. Change that to match netif_dbg() as well. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-07-02net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdiscJohn Fastabend1-0/+3
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

2010-06-30ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirectionBen Hutchings1-0/+15
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to align data on a cache line boundary. So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic. Remove microblaze and powerpc own NET_SKB_PAD definitions. Thanks to Alexander Duyck and David Miller for their comments.

2010-06-15netpoll: Allow netpoll_setup/cleanup recursionHerbert Xu1-0/+2
This patch adds the functions __netpoll_setup/__netpoll_cleanup which is designed to be called recursively through ndo_netpoll_seutp. They must be called with RTNL held, and the caller must initialise np->dev and ensure that it has a valid reference count.

2010-06-15netpoll: Fix RCU usageHerbert Xu1-5/+8
The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places: 1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier. 2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place. 3) Read barriers are missing. 4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock. 5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing. This patch fixes those issues. As most users are in BH context, this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: Paul E.

2010-06-15netfilter: xtables: idletimer target implementationLuciano Coelho2-0/+46
This patch implements an idletimer Xtables target that can be used to identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time. Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit. One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains the timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are located under the xt_idletimer class: /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label> When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power).

commit 97f8aefbbfb5aa5c9944e5fa8149f1fdaf71c7b6 "net: fix ethtool coding style errors and warnings" changed the indentation of several macro definitions in ethtool.h. These definitions line up in the diff where there is an extra character at the start of each line, but not in the resulting file.

2010-06-14netfilter: nfnetlink_log: RCU conversion, part 2Eric Dumazet1-0/+1
- must use atomic_inc_not_zero() in instance_lookup_get() - must use hlist_add_head_rcu() instead of hlist_add_head() - must use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del() - Introduce NFULNL_COPY_DISABLED to stop lockless reader from using an instance, before we do final instance_put() on it.
