This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place, the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages of the same dump. Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a complete list of links and not miss any. Testing: I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set. I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header will not be properly put on the packet in the case of vlan header accelleration. As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean. Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof and look at the wrong field. Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats for a multicast packet. Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the fact that multiple issues have been found including: - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed. - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined. - Endianess wrong on displayed values. - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am submitting this patch to remove it. v2: Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Frank Blaschka reported : <quote> During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus. Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device. Digging into the dump I found out following: napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped because the budget was reached. napi stays in the softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again. I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in, the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu. Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the poll_list is transfered to the new cpu. </quote> This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion : Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.

Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: NKoki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

In the old days, we used to access dev->master in __netif_receive_skb() in a rcu_read_lock section. So one synchronize_net() call was needed in netdev_set_master() to make sure another cpu could not use old master while/after we release it. We now use netdev_rx_handler infrastructure and added one synchronize_net() call in bond_release()/bond_release_all() Remove the obsolete synchronize_net() from netdev_set_master() and add one in bridge del_nbp() after its netdev_rx_handler_unregister() call.

In commit 1c5cae81 (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice), a bug of bonding was involved, see example 1 and 2. In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until dev_get_valid_name() is called. But dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(that is bond_init) is called before dev_get_valid_name(), and it uses the invalid name of net_device. I think register_netdevice() should make sure that the name of net_device is valid before calling ndo_init(). example 1: modprobe bonding ls /proc/net/bonding/bond%d ps -eLf root 3398 2 3398 0 1 21:34 ? 00:00:00 [bond%d] example 2: modprobe bonding max_bonds=3 [ 170.100292] bonding: Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011) [ 170.101090] bonding: Warning: either miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target module parameters must be specified, otherwise bonding will not detect link failures! see bonding.txt for details.

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode. Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged thanks to vlan_untag() Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. However, the test in netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags. Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if scatter-gather is disabled. Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so user-space sees all TSO features as disabled. Signed-off-by: NBen Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive. For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole __netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in __netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers) see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Issue FEAT_CHANGE notification when features are changed by netdev_update_features(). This will allow changes made by extra constraints on e.g. MTU change to be properly propagated like changes via ethtool.

In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled, we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger than the expected value. This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled when we want to check the mtu size.

The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.

Implement compatibility with new hw_features for dev_disable_lro(). This is a transition path - dev_disable_lro() should be later integrated into netdev_fix_features() after all drivers are converted.
