      net: convert unicast addr list · ccffad25
      Jiri Pirko 提交于
      This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
      previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
      locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
      needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
      reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
      
      I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
      while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
      
      The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
      change is not so trivial.

      virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation) · 3f2c31d9
      Mark McLoughlin 提交于
      If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate
      maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up
      20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the
      host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving
      small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized
      packets from off-host.
      
      The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support
      using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size.
      In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges
      together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer.
      The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in
      the virtio_net_hdr.
      
      Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to
      the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of
      the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment
      offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment
      and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the
      payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as
      fragments and free the associated skbs.
      
      This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries
      while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from
      an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100%
      improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark
      with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase
      from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s.
      
      Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

      Seems like an oversight that we have set-tx-csum and set-sg hooked
      up, but not set-tso.
      
      Also leads to the strange situation that if you e.g. disable tx-csum,
      then tso doesn't get disabled.

      virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pages · 0a888fd1
      Mark McLoughlin 提交于
      Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate
      one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should
      recycle the pages allocated in this case.
      
      A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing
      unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually
      caused a barely measurable slowdown.

      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3 · 8f15ea42
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.

      virtio: Recycle unused recv buffer pages for large skbs in net driver · fb6813f4
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
      skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
      
        Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
      
      Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
      that from 128 to 2048:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
      
      If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
      
        Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
      
      This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
      have a separate "small buffer" queue.

      virtio net: Allow receiving SG packets · 97402b96
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
      to sending them.  This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
      case.  For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
      and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
      preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

      With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
      we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)

      Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
      
      Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
      queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
      
      However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
      queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
      is a chance space might become available for it.

      virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features · c45a6816
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
      some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
      negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
      
      There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
      didn't notice when it was violated.
      
      So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
      in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
      core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
      a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
      
      Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
      bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
      straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
      
      Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
      really have to.
      
      API changes:
      - dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
      - drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
      - use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

      virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_net · 5539ae96

      Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software.
