      net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address · 4940fc88
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form.
      
      mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid.
      
      mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet,
      it's up to caller to deal with it.
      
      mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention.
      Target usage:
      
      	if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac))
      		return -EINVAL;
      	/* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */
      	/* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */
      
      Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.

      vlan: remove one synchronize_net() call · 48752e1b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      At VLAN dismantle phase, unregister_vlan_dev() makes one
      synchronize_net() call after vlan_group_set_device(grp, vlan_id, NULL).
      
      This call can be safely removed because we are calling
      unregister_netdevice_queue() to queue device for deletion, and this
      process needs at least one rcu grace period to complete.

      net: Add sendmmsg socket system call · 228e548e
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
      version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
      based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.
      
      I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
      this new syscall:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c
      
      The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
      benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.
      
      64B UDP
      
      batch   pkts/sec
      1       804570

      64      1557888 (+30 %)
      
      We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30%
      on raw socket send.

      net: filter: Just In Time compiler for x86-64 · 0a14842f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In order to speedup packet filtering, here is an implementation of a
      JIT compiler for x86_64
      
      It is disabled by default, and must be enabled by the admin.
      
      echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
      
      It uses module_alloc() and module_free() to get memory in the 2GB text
      kernel range since we call helpers functions from the generated code.
      
      EAX : BPF A accumulator
      EBX : BPF X accumulator
      RDI : pointer to skb   (first argument given to JIT function)
      RBP : frame pointer (even if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n)
      r9d : skb->len - skb->data_len (headlen)
      r8  : skb->data
      
      To get a trace of generated code, use :
      
      echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
      
      Example of generated code :
      
      # tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24

      wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interrupts · 341b7cde
      Ido Yariv 提交于
      Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a
      platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an
      edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms.
      
      When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT
      cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW
      status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits.
      
      Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the
      threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this
      handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by
      limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact
      on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will
      need to be addressed.

      ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identification · fce55922
      Allan, Bruce W 提交于
      When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
      mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
      it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states.  Some drivers
      may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals.  This patch
      changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
      is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
      cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
      converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
      identifying an adapter.
      
      The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
      on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.
      
      Compile tested only.  Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.
      
      v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE
