This adds a tx_maxrate attribute to the tx queue sysfs entry allowing for max-rate limiting. Along with DCB-ETS and BQL this provides another knob to tune queue performance. The limit units are Mbps. By default it is disabled. To disable the rate limitation after it has been set for a queue, it should be set to zero.

Add a helper function which allows getting the struct net_device pointer associated with a given struct device_node pointer. This is useful for instance for DSA Ethernet devices not backed by a platform_device, but a PCI device. Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated with CONFIG_OF_NET. Network devices initialized with SET_NETDEV_DEV() are also taken into account by checking for dev->parent first and then falling back to checking the device pointer within struct net_device.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

由 Tom Gundersen 提交于
Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: NTom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: NDavid Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: NKay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights over the net namespace. The principle here is if you create or have capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with what other people have mounted. Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call, perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers, this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves the existing sysfs abstractions.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

commit a9b3cd7f (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, y). We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Paul E.
