      net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches · 28172739
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      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.

      ixgbe: fix automatic LRO/RSC settings for low latency · 28c8e479
      Andy Gospodarek 提交于
      This patch added to 2.6.34:
      
      	commit f8d1dcaf
      	Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>
      	Date:   Tue Apr 27 01:37:20 2010 +0000
      
      	    ixgbe: enable extremely low latency
      
      introduced a feature where LRO (called RSC on the hardware) was disabled
      automatically when setting rx-usecs to 0 via ethtool.  Some might not
      like the fact that LRO was disabled automatically, but I'm fine with
      that.  What I don't like is that LRO/RSC is automatically enabled when
      rx-usecs is set >0 via ethtool.
      
      This would certainly be a problem if the device was used for forwarding
      and it was determined that the low latency wasn't needed after the
      device was already forwarding.  I played around with saving the state of
      LRO in the driver, but it just didn't seem worthwhile and would require
      a small change to dev_disable_lro() that I did not like.
      
      This patch simply leaves LRO disabled when setting rx-usecs >0 and
      requires that the user enable it again.  An extra informational message
      will also now appear in the log so users can understand why LRO isn't
      being enabled as they expect.
      
      Inconsistency of LRO setting first noticed by Stanislaw Gruszka.

      drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s · a4b77097
      Joe Perches 提交于
      This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
      return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
      void functions.
      
      It does not remove the returns that are immediately
      preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.
      
      It also does not remove null void functions with return.
      
      Done via:
      $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
        xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'
      
      with some cleanups by hand.
      
      Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      ixgbe: do not stop tx queues in ixgbe_set_tso · a922afb6
      John Fastabend 提交于
      Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because
      when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called.  If the watchdog
      timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been
      sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and
      ndo_tx_timeout() is called.  This is ocossionally seen during testing.
      
      This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed.  The scheduler
      submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and
      if so it calls dev_gso_segment.  Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit()
      to do the gso processing.   However ixgbe does not use the features flags to
      determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so
      ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features
      flag.

      ixgbe: Fix TX stats accounting · 60d51134
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Here is an updated version, because ixgbe_get_ethtool_stats()
      needs to call dev_get_stats() or "ethtool -S" wont give
      correct tx_bytes/tx_packets values.
      
      Several cpus can update netdev->stats.tx_bytes & netdev->stats.tx_packets
      in parallel. In this case, TX stats are under estimated and false sharing
      takes place.
      
      After a pktgen session sending exactly 200000000 packets :
      # ifconfig fiber0 | grep TX
                TX packets:198501982 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
      
      Multi queue devices should instead use txq->tx_bytes & txq->tx_packets
      in their xmit() method (appropriate txq lock already held by caller, no
      cache line miss), or use appropriate locking.
      
      After patch, same pktgen session gives :
      
      # ifconfig fiber0 | grep TX
                TX packets:200000000 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
