2014-02-17netdevice: move netdev_cap_txqueue for shared usage to headerDaniel Borkmann1-12/+1
In order to allow users to invoke netdev_cap_txqueue, it needs to be moved into netdevice.h header file. While at it, also add kernel doc header to document the API. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-17netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queueDaniel Borkmann1-4/+3
Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

2014-02-13net: correct error path in rtnl_newlink()Cong Wang1-7/+12
I saw the following BUG when ->newlink() fails in rtnl_newlink(): [ 40.240058] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:6438! this is due to free_netdev() is not supposed to be called before netdev is completely unregistered, therefore it is not correct to call free_netdev() here, at least for ops->newlink!=NULL case, many drivers call it in ->destructor so that rtnl_unlock() will take care of it, we probably don't need to do anything here.

2014-02-06net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocationsEric Dumazet1-2/+4
sock_alloc_send_pskb() & sk_page_frag_refill() have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance. Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations. We had various reports from unexpected regressions. According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine, as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this will prevent OOM from kicking as in : CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled CFSClientEventm Call Trace: [<ffffffff8043766c>] dump_header+0xe1/0x23e [<ffffffff80437a02>] oom_kill_process+0x6a/0x323 [<ffffffff80438443>] out_of_memory+0x4b3/0x50d [<ffffffff8043a4a6>] __alloc_pages_may_oom+0xa2/0xc7 [<ffffffff80236f42>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1002/0x17f0 [<ffffffff8024bd23>] alloc_pages_current+0x103/0x2b0 [<ffffffff8028567f>] sk_page_frag_refill+0x8f/0x160 [<ffffffff80295fa0>] tcp_sendmsg+0x560/0xee0 [<ffffffff802a5037>] inet_sendmsg+0x67/0x100 [<ffffffff80283c9c>] __sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x6c/0x90 [<ffffffff80283e85>] sock_sendmsg+0xc5/0xf0 [<ffffffff802847b6>] __sys_sendmsg+0x136/0x430 [<ffffffff80284ec8>] sys_sendmsg+0x88/0x110 [<ffffffff80711472>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Out of Memory: Kill process 2856 (bash) score 9999 or sacrifice child Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

2014-01-23net: Correctly sync addresses from multiple sources to single deviceVlad Yasevich1-8/+10
When we have multiple devices attempting to sync the same address to a single destination, each device should be permitted to sync it once. To accomplish this, pass the 'sync_cnt' of the source address when adding the addresss to the lower device. 'sync_cnt' tracks how many time a given address has been succefully synced. This way, we know that if the 'sync_cnt' passed in is 0, we should sync this address. Also, turn 'synced' member back into the counter as was originally done in commit 4543fbefe6e06a9e40d9f2b28d688393a299f079. net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly. It tracks how many time a given address has been added via a 'sync' operation. For every successfull 'sync' the counter is incremented, and for ever 'unsync', the counter is decremented. This makes sure that the address will be properly removed from the the lower device when all the upper devices have removed it.

Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to the same TCP session. For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header. The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination port is registered to have gro handler. Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

2014-01-18net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONSMichal Sekletar1-0/+4
For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f85d ("net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient. Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel. As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

2014-01-16net: allow > 0 order atomic page alloc in skb_page_frag_refillMichael Dalton1-3/+1
skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs). This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing page allocation strategy employed by netdev_alloc_frag, which attempts higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is set, falling back to successively lower-order page allocations on failure.

2014-01-16net: add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU to notify before mtu change happensVeaceslav Falico1-0/+5
Currently, if a device changes its mtu, first the change happens (invloving all the side effects), and after that the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is sent so that other devices can catch up with the new mtu. However, if they return NOTIFY_BAD, then the change is reverted and error returned. This is a really long and costy operation (sometimes). To fix this, add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU notification which is called prior to any change actually happening, and if any callee returns NOTIFY_BAD - the change is aborted. This way we're skipping all the playing with apply/revert the mtu. CC: "David S.

2014-01-16net: Check skb->rxhash in gro_receiveTom Herbert1-1/+8
When initializing a gro_list for a packet, first check the rxhash of the incoming skb against that of the skb's in the list. This should be a very strong inidicator of whether the flow is going to be matched, and potentially allows a lot of other checks to be short circuited. Use skb_hash_raw so that we don't force the hash to be calculated. Tested by running netperf 200 TCP_STREAMs between two machines with GRO, HW rxhash, and 1G.

Currently, we don't rename the upper/lower_ifc symlinks in /sys/class/net/*/ , which might result stale/duplicate links/names. Fix this by adding netdev_adjacent_rename_links(dev, oldname) which renames all the upper/lower interface's links to dev from the upper/lower_oldname to the new name.

2014-01-13net: gro: change GRO overflow strategyEric Dumazet1-2/+15
GRO layer has a limit of 8 flows being held in GRO list, for performance reason. When a packet comes for a flow not yet in the list, and list is full, we immediately give it to upper stacks, lowering aggregation performance. With TSO auto sizing and FQ packet scheduler, this situation happens more often. This patch changes strategy to simply evict the oldest flow of the list. This works better because of the nature of packet trains for which GRO is efficient. This also has the effect of lowering the GRO latency if many flows are competing. Tested : Used a 40Gbps NIC, with 4 RX queues, and 200 concurrent TCP_STREAM netperf. Before patch, aggregate rate is 11Gbps (while a single flow can reach 30Gbps) After patch, line rate is reached.

2014-01-10net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwardingJason Wang3-16/+25
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.
