      net: provide generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers · 93d05d4a
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      NAPI drivers no longer need to observe a particular protocol
      to benefit from busy polling (CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL=y)
      
      napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() are automatically called
      from core networking stack, respectively from
      netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del()
      
      This patch depends on free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() being
      called from process context, which seems to be the norm.
      
      Drivers might still prefer to call napi_hash_del() on their
      own, since they might combine all the rcu grace periods into
      a single one, knowing their NAPI structures lifetime, while
      core networking stack has no idea of a possible combining.
      
      Once this patch proves to not bring serious regressions,
      we will cleanup drivers to either remove napi_hash_del()
      or provide appropriate rcu grace periods combining.

      net: move skb_mark_napi_id() into core networking stack · 93f93a44
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      We would like to automatically provide busy polling support
      to all NAPI drivers, without them having to implement anything.
      
      skb_mark_napi_id() can be called from napi_gro_receive() and
      napi_get_frags().
      
      Few drivers are still calling skb_mark_napi_id() because
      they use netif_receive_skb(). They should eventually call
      napi_gro_receive() instead. I will leave this to drivers
      maintainers.

      ixgbe, ixgbevf: Add new mbox API xcast mode · 8443c1a4
      Hiroshi Shimamoto 提交于
      The limitation of the number of multicast address for VF is not enough
      for the large scale server with SR-IOV feature. IPv6 requires the multicast
      MAC address for each IP address to handle the Neighbor Solicitation
      message. We couldn't assign over 30 IPv6 addresses to a single VF.
      
      This patch introduces the new mailbox API, IXGBE_VF_UPDATE_XCAST_MODE,
      to update multicast mode of VF. This adds 3 modes;
        - NONE     only L2 exact match addresses or Flow Director enabled
        - MULTI    BAM and ROMPE set
        - ALLMULTI BAM, ROMPE and MPE set
      
      If a guest VF user wants over 30 MAC multicast addresses, set IFF_ALLMULTI
      to request PF to update xcast mode to enable VF multicast promiscuous mode.
      
      On the other hand, enabling VF multicast promiscuous mode may affect
      security and performance in the network of the NIC. Only trusted VF can
      enable multicast promiscuous mode. The behavior of untrusted VF is the
      same as previous version.
