      net: add additional lock to qdisc to increase throughput · 79640a4c
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc
      spinlock suffers from very high contention.
      
      The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire
      the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for
      this lock for each dequeued packet.
      
      One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second
      lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see
      __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set.
      
      The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main
      lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate.
      
      Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to
      avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the
      cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock
      lock as late as possible.
      
      Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000
      pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver.
      (A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform)

      net: QDISC_STATE_RUNNING dont need atomic bit ops · 37112105
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING is always changed while qdisc lock is held.
      
      We can avoid two atomic operations in xmit path, if we move this bit in
      a new __state container.
      
      Location of this __state container is carefully chosen so that fast path
      only dirties one qdisc cache line.
      
      THROTTLED bit could later be moved into this __state location too, to
      avoid dirtying first qdisc cache line.

      arp_notify: allow drivers to explicitly request a notification event. · 06c4648d
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the
      address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable
      faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches
      to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a
      temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current
      conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues
      when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use
      to explicitly trigger the notification.

      Revert "cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()" · 35926ff5
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 0ac0c0d0, which
      caused cross-architecture build problems for all the wrong reasons.
      IA64 already added its own version of __node_random(), but the fact is,
      there is nothing architectural about the function, and the original
      commit was just badly done. Revert it, since no fix is forthcoming.
