2011-08-17net: introduce IFF_UNICAST_FLT private flagJiri Pirko1-6/+6

Patch also fixes following drivers: stmmac, niu: support uc filtering and yet it propagated ndo_set_multicast_list bna, benet, pxa168_eth, ks8851, ks8851_mll, ksz884x : has set ndo_set_rx_mode but do not support uc filtering Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-17rps: Inspect GRE encapsulated packets to get flow hashTom Herbert1-0/+22
Crack open GRE packets in __skb_get_rxhash to compute 4-tuple hash on in encapsulated packet. Note that this is used only when the __skb_get_rxhash is taken, in particular only when the device does not compute provide the rxhash (ie. feature is disabled). This was tested by creating a single GRE tunnel between two 16 core AMD machines. 200 netperf TCP_RR streams were ran with 1 byte request and response size.

2011-08-06net: Compute protocol sequence numbers and fragment IDs using MD5.David S. Miller2-1/+185
Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

2011-07-27net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flagsNeil Horman1-3/+5
Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs. A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the flag is set properly Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reported-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> CC: Robert Olsson <robert.olsson@its.uu.se> CC: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> CC: David S.

As reported by Ben Greer and Froncois Romieu. The code path in the netif_carrier code leads it to try and disable a late workqueue to reenable it immediately netif_carrier_on -> linkwatch_fire_event -> linkwatch_schedule_work -> cancel_delayed_work -> del_timer_sync If __cancel_delayed_work is used instead then there is no problem of waiting for running linkwatch_event.

Commit a77f5db361ed9953b5b749353ea2c7fed2bf8d93 ('ethtool: Allocate register dump buffer with vmalloc()') had the side-effect of breaking these, as vmalloc() returns a null pointer for size=0 whereas kmalloc() did not.

And mask the hash function result by simply shifting down the "->hash_shift" most significant bits.

2011-07-07skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffersShirley Ma1-1/+79
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller1-2/+4
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-07-01rtnl: provide link dump consistency infoThomas Graf3-0/+15
This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.
