2011-04-28inet: add RCU protection to inet->optEric Dumazet2-8/+17
We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

In order to speedup packet filtering, here is an implementation of a JIT compiler for x86_64 It is disabled by default, and must be enabled by the admin. echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable It uses module_alloc() and module_free() to get memory in the 2GB text kernel range since we call helpers functions from the generated code.

2011-04-27ipv4: Sanitize and simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()David S. Miller1-32/+56
These functions are used together as a unit for route resolution during connect(). They address the chicken-and-egg problem that exists when ports need to be allocated during connect() processing, yet such port allocations require addressing information from the routing code. It's currently more heavy handed than it needs to be, and in particular we allocate and initialize a flow object twice. Let the callers provide the on-stack flow object. That way we only need to initialize it once in the ip_route_connect() call. Later, if ip_route_newports() needs to do anything, it re-uses that flow object as-is except for the ports which it updates before the route re-lookup. Also, describe why this set of facilities are needed and how it works in a big comment. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

2011-04-14ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identificationAllan, Bruce W1-2/+4
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. Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc. v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE v3: fold patchset into single patch and cleanup per Ben's feedback Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@intel.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Cc: Subbu Seetharaman <subbu.seetharaman@emulex.com> Cc: Ajit Khaparde <ajit.khaparde@emulex.com> Cc: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Cc: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Cc: Divy Le Ray <divy@chelsio.com> Cc: Don Fry <pcnet32@frontier.com> Cc: Jon Mason <jdmason@kudzu.us> Cc: Solarflare linux maintainers <linux-net-drivers@solarflare.com> Cc: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Jon Mason <jdmason@kudzu.us> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-14ipv4: Call fib_select_default() only when actually necessary.David S. Miller1-1/+2
fib_select_default() is a complete NOP, and completely pointless to invoke, when we have no more than 1 default route installed. And this is far and away the common case. So remember how many prefixlen==0 routes we have in the routing table, and elide the call when we have no more than one of those. This cuts output route creation time by 157 cycles on Niagara2+. In order to add the new int to fib_table, we have to correct the type of ->tb_data[] to unsigned long, otherwise the private area will be unaligned on 64-bit systems. Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-12mac80211: Check for queued frames before entering power save.Vivek Natarajan1-0/+4
In a highly noisy environment, the tx rate of the driver drops and the application slows down since it has not yet received ACKs for the frames already queued in the hardware. Since this ACK may take more than 100ms, stopping the dev queues for entering PS at this stage breaks applications, WMM test cases in my testing. If there are frames already pending in the tx queue, postponing the PS logic helps to avoid redundant queue stops. When power save is enabled by default and in a noisy environment, this API certainly helps in improving the average throughput.
