      IPv6 routing, NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn about missing CREATE flag · 4a287eba
      Matti Vaittinen 提交于
      The support for NLM_F_* flags at IPv6 routing requests.
      
      If NLM_F_CREATE flag is not defined for RTM_NEWROUTE request,
      warning is printed, but no error is returned. Instead new route is
      added. Later NLM_F_CREATE may be required for
      new route creation.
      
      Exception is when NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given without NLM_F_CREATE, and
      no matching route is found. In this case it should be safe to assume
      that the request issuer is familiar with NLM_F_* flags, and does really
      not want route to be created.
      
      Specifying NLM_F_REPLACE flag will now make the kernel to search for
      matching route, and replace it with new one. If no route is found and
      NLM_F_CREATE is specified as well, then new route is created.
      
      Also, specifying NLM_F_EXCL will yield returning of error if matching
      route is found.

      This round of floor sweeping converts strncpy calls in various .get_drvinfo

      bnx2x: uses build_skb() in receive path · e52fcb24
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      bnx2x uses following formula to compute its rx_buf_sz :
      
      dev->mtu + 2*L1_CACHE_BYTES + 14 + 8 + 8 + 2
      
      Then core network adds NET_SKB_PAD and SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
      skb_shared_info))
      
      Final allocated size for skb head on x86_64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64,
      MTU=1500) : 2112 bytes : SLUB/SLAB round this to 4096 bytes.
      
      Since skb truesize is then bigger than SK_MEM_QUANTUM, we have lot of
      false sharing because of mem_reclaim in UDP stack.
      
      One possible way to half truesize is to reduce the need by 64 bytes
      (2112 -> 2048 bytes)
      
      Instead of allocating a full cache line at the end of packet for
      alignment, we can use the fact that skb_shared_info sits at the end of
      skb->head, and we can use this room, if we convert bnx2x to new
      build_skb() infrastructure.
      
      skb_shared_info will be initialized after hardware finished its
      transfert, so we can eventually overwrite the final padding.
      
      Using build_skb() also reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
      use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
      structures is lower, they are recycled while still hot.
      
      Performance results :
      
      (820.000 pps on a rx UDP monothread benchmark, instead of 720.000 pps)

      net: introduce build_skb() · b2b5ce9d
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea
      to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX
      completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack.
      
      In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring.
      
      This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache
      lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC.
      
      By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process
      it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot
      of things happened between the allocation and final use.
      
      So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to
      populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to
      attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb,
      initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network
      stack.
      
      build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the
      data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call
      skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the
      Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some
      drivers might add a hardware provided alignment)
      
      Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior
      kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
      skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting
      incoming frame.
      
      data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 +
                     SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)),
      	       GFP_ATOMIC);
      ...
      skb = build_skb(data);
      if (!skb) {
      	recycle_data(data);
      } else {
      	skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
      	...
      }
