This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support sending a linear buffer instead of a skb. I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, several is_<foo>_ether_addr functions can be slightly improved by using u32 dereferences. I believe all current uses of is_zero_ether_addr and is_broadcast_ether_addr are u16 aligned, so always use u16 references to improve those functions performance. Document the u16 alignment requirements. Signed-off-by: NJoe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very slightly improve function performance. Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation. Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now used only once. Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function. Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses could occur with ether_addr_equal.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc. eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0 VF VF PF | | | <-- stand-in for uplink | | | -------------------------- | Embedded Switch | -------------------------- | MAC <-- uplink But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link. This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF. In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer. This is incorrect. This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the hardware to prevent this behavior.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order.

Renamed dev_hw_addr_random to eth_hw_addr_random() to reflect that this function only assign a random ethernet address (MAC). Removed the second parameter (u8 *hwaddr), it's redundant since the also given net_device already contains net_device->dev_addr. Set it directly. Adapt igbvf and ixgbevf to the changed function. Small fix for ixgbevf_probe(): if ixgbevf_sw_init() fails (which means the device got no dev_addr) handle the error and jump to err_sw_init as already done by igbvf in similar case.

Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs. This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all arches that have efficient unailgned accesses. I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits: 158: 33 82 38 01 00 00 xor 0x138(%edx),%eax 15e: 33 8a 34 01 00 00 xor 0x134(%edx),%ecx 164: c1 e0 10 shl $0x10,%eax 167: 09 c1 or %eax,%ecx 169: 74 0b je 176 <eth_type_trans+0x87> And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl) Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %, expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path. This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.
