      net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flags · d8873315
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
      some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
      marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
      are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
      flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
      handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
      flag is set properly

      sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage · 268bb0ce
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
      iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
      uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
      obscure header file dependency.
      
      So this fixes things up a bit, using
      
         grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
         grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
      
      to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
      inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
      
      There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
      many core ones.

      net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address · 4940fc88
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form.
      
      mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid.
      
      mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet,
      it's up to caller to deal with it.
      
      mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention.
      Target usage:
      
      	if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac))
      		return -EINVAL;
      	/* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */
      	/* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */
      
      Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.

      We spend lot of time clearing pages in pktgen.

      Since we dont modify them, we can use one zeroed page, and get
      references on it. This page can use NUMA affinity as well.

      pktgen: allow faster module unload · 551eaff1
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Unloading pktgen module needs ~6 seconds on a 64 cpus machine, to stop
      64 kthreads.
      
      Add a pktgen_exiting variable to let kernel threads die faster, so that
      kthread_stop() doesnt have to wait too long for them. This variable is
      not tested in fast path.
      
      Note : Before exiting from pktgen_thread_worker(), we must make sure
      kthread_stop() is waiting for this thread to be stopped, like its done
      in kernel/softirq.c

      Here is patch to manipulate packet node allocation and implicitly
      how packets are DMA'd etc.
      
      The flag NODE_ALLOC enables the function and numa_node_id();
      when enabled it can also be explicitly controlled via a new
      node parameter
      
      Tested this with 10 Intel 82599 ports w. TYAN S7025 E5520 CPU's.
      Was able to TX/DMA ~80 Gbit/s to Ethernet wires.

      pktgen: Fix device name compares · 593f63b0
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Commit e6fce5b9 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax
      the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@'
      tag to device names.
      
      Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name.
      This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread
      
       pgset "add_device eth0@0"
      
      one session later :
      
       pgset "add_device eth0@0"
      
      (This doesnt find previous device)
      
      This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers
      this warning :
