      net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table · d6bf7817
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      David
      
      This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code.
      
      Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU
      protected objects.
      
      Thanks
      
      [PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table
      
      Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct
      neigh_table", a new structure is defined :
      
      struct neigh_hash_table {
             struct neighbour        **hash_buckets;
             unsigned int            hash_mask;
             __u32                   hash_rnd;
             struct rcu_head         rcu;
      };
      
      And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a
      neigh_hash_table.
      
      This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a
      third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not
      anymore a neigh_table field.

      net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter · caf586e5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
      drop it before it enters protocol stack :
      - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
      - bad vlan tag (not accounted)
      - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
      
      We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
      and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
      that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
      
      This is a generalization of commit 8990f468 (net: rx_dropped
      accounting), thus reverting it.

      net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flag · c7d4426a
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue
      devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in
      neighbour code.
      
      When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high
      performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the
      neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on
      hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test())
      
      But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only
      once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache
      lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock.
      
      Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not
      inserted in route cache.
      
      With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour,
      results are :

      ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addresses · 4465b469
      Tom Herbert 提交于
      This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in
      a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to
      configure the address on an interface.  This is done through routing
      table configuration.  For instance, to configure a host to respond
      to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do:
      
      ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200
      ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200
      
      This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on
      input for packets received on eth0 can find the route).  On output, the
      rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to
      10.1/16 (not sent on loopback).  Presumably, external routing can be
      configured to make sense out of this.
      
      To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the
      interface which is assigned a given source address for output
      (dev_ip_find).  We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a
      lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input
      interface for matching.
      
      This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual
      addresses.
