      [SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t · 27a884dc
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
      on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
      layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
      64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
      :-)
      
      Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
      mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
      meaningful as offsets or pointers.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6 · f83ef8c0
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6.  This is based on a patch
      by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>.  His original description is:
      
      	This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
      	restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
      	"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
      
      	This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
      	to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
      	over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
      	TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
      	will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
      
      	In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
      	cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
      	get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
      
      	SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
      	SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
      	UFO is supported over IPv6 also
      
      	The following table shows there is significant improvement in
      	throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.
