      vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration. · 3701e513
      Jesse Gross 提交于
      Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
      must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
      the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is
      
      different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
      significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
      it in the networking core.
      
      This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
      of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
      following:
      * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
      core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
      the header if no group
      * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
      receive routines
      * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
      if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
      out in upper layers, such as bonding.
      
      There are a number of advantages to this:
      * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
      * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
      (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
      * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
      avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
      necessary.
      * Consolidates common code in core networking.

      A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we

      vlan: Enable software emulation for vlan accleration. · 7b9c6090
      Jesse Gross 提交于
      Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
      the device supports it before generating packets.  However, vlan
      acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
      knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult.  This adds
      a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
      necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
      accleration.

      net: percpu net_device refcount · 29b4433d
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
      network stack, using RCU conversions.
      
      There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
      create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
      app servers, mmap af_packet)
      
      We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu
      infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes
      per device.

      neigh: speedup neigh_hh_init() · 34d101dd
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to
      associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with
      the neigh rwlock write locked.
      
      Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour,
      so we find it and increment its refcount.
      
      This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with
      neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in
      parallel by concurrent cpus.
      
      This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a
      (introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones,
      removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue
      enabled machines.
      
      Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to
      protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic
      ops.

      net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter · caf586e5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
      drop it before it enters protocol stack :
      - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
      - bad vlan tag (not accounted)
      - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
      
      We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
      and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
      that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
      
      This is a generalization of commit 8990f468 (net: rx_dropped
      accounting), thus reverting it.

      sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type · c1f79426
      Stefan Assmann 提交于
      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.

      net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats union · 3cfde79c
      Ben Hutchings 提交于
      In commit be1f3c2c "net: Enable 64-bit
      net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct
      net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct
      rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or
      conversion between the two.  However, this is unsafe because there is
      no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to
      dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns.
      
      In commit 28172739 "net: fix 64 bit
      counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by
      requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the
      result.  This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding
      in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them.
      
      Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its
      new usage.
      
      Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since
      that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer
      going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats.
      
      Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure
      conversion.

      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.

      net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc · f0796d5c
      John Fastabend 提交于
      Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
      skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
      be sent to the underlying driver.
      
      The flow for this is,
      
      dev_queue_xmit()
      	dev_pick_tx()
      		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
      		skb_set_queue_mapping()
      	...
      	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
      ...
      dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
      ...
      sch_direct_xmit()
      	dev_hard_start_xmit()
      		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
      
      skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
      0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
      decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
      qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
      
      This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
      and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
      skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
      rings that no longer exist.
