2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()Ingo Molnar1-2/+2
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2011-09-15net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings callingJiri Pirko1-2/+2
This patch does several things: - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-12Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to itAl Viro1-14/+9
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory * new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns()) * ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns(). * old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead. * sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid of sb->s_instances abuse. Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup() is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of memory occupied by struct net. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-04-29ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned dataDavid Decotigny1-14/+10
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.

2010-11-24xps: Transmit Packet SteeringTom Herbert1-5/+364
This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue devices. XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based on configuration. This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the packet to a queue. This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion steering). Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will use the queue to send packets. This is configured as a CPU mask on a per queue basis in: /sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that maps CPUs to queues. In the netdevice structure this is an array of num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use. The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data structures. Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back to the socket on free (e.g. UDP). The benefits of XPS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. XPS would nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that each CPU has it's own queue. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. bnx2x on 16 core AMD XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU) 1234K at 100% CPU No XPS (16 queues) 996K at 100% CPU Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Presumably this could also happen across down/up on most devices if the available resources changed (cpu offlined).

For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq().

For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

2010-07-24sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment typeStefan Assmann1-0/+2
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs. This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

2010-07-07net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit archesEric Dumazet1-1/+3
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.

2010-06-12net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architecturesBen Hutchings1-6/+6
Use struct rtnl_link_stats64 as the statistics structure. On 32-bit architectures, insert 32 bits of padding after/before each field of struct net_device_stats to make its layout compatible with struct rtnl_link_stats64. Add an anonymous union in net_device; move stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64. Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Drivers that implement this operation must not update the structure asynchronously. Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Change callers of dev_get_stats() accordingly.

2010-05-21net: Expose all network devices in a namespaces in sysfsEric W. Biederman1-15/+1
This reverts commit aaf8cdc34ddba08122f02217d9d684e2f9f5d575. Drivers like the ipw2100 call device_create_group when they are initialized and device_remove_group when they are shutdown. Moving them between namespaces deletes their sysfs groups early. In particular the following call chain results. netdev_unregister_kobject -> device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_remove_dir With sysfs_remove_dir recursively deleting all of it's subdirectories, and nothing adding them back. Ouch! Therefore we need to call something that ultimate calls sysfs_mv_dir as that sysfs function can move sysfs directories between namespaces without deleting their subdirectories or their contents. Allowing us to avoid placing extra boiler plate into every driver that does something interesting with sysfs. Currently the function that provides that capability is device_rename. That is the code works without nasty side effects as originally written. So remove the misguided fix for moving devices between namespaces. The bug in the kobject layer that inspired it has now been recognized and fixed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: David S.

2010-05-21net/sysfs: Fix the bitrot in network device kobject namespace supportEric W. Biederman1-5/+3
I had a couple of stupid bugs in: netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in. - I duplicated the Kconfig for the NET_NS - The build was broken when sysfs was not compiled in The sysfs breakage is because after I moved the operations for the sysfs to the kobject layer, to make things cleaner I forgot to move the ifdefs. Opps. I'm not quite certain how I got introduced a second NET_NS Kconfig, but it was probably a 3 way merge somewhere along the way that did not notice that the NET_NS Kconfig option had mvoed and thout that was a bug. It probably slipped in because it used to be the sysfs patches were the first patches in my network namespace patches. Some things just don't go like you would expect. Neither of these bugs actually affect anything in the common case but they should be fixed. Thanks to Serge for noticing they were present. Reported-by: Serge E.

2010-05-21netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+47
The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in the same directory, ouch! To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs. By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts in the directories and applications only see a limited set of the network devices.
