      net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit() · 93f154b5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
      when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
      dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
      
      CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
      quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
      since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
      
      It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
      devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
      
      David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
      (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
      which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
      
      List of devices that must clear this flag is :
      
      - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
          "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
           already need to have a dst_entry attached."
      - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
      
      - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
      (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

      net: FIX bonding sysfs rtnl_lock deadlock · 496a60cd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Sysfs files for a network device can not unconditionally take the
      rtnl_lock as the bonding sysfs files do.  If someone accesses those
      sysfs files while the network device is being unregistered with the
      rtnl_lock held we will deadlock.
      
      So use trylock and restart_syscall to avoid this problem.

      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Network device sysfs files that grab the rtnl_lock unconditionally
      will deadlock if accessed when the network device is being
      unregistered.  So use trylock and syscall_restart to avoid this
      deadlock.

      netxen: fix msi irq setup · f67f3408
      Dhananjay Phadke 提交于
      The pdev->irq was not saved in netxen_adapter, causing request_irq()
      with invalid irq number.
      
      This was broken in commit be339aee
      ("netxen: fix irq tear down and msix leak.").
