Dropping packets in __dev_queue_xmit() when transmit queue is stopped (NIC TX ring buffer full or BQL limit reached) currently outputs a syslog message. It would be better to get a precise count of such events available in netdevice stats so that monitoring tools can have a clue.

The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it. Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support. Acked-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: N"Eric W.

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: NDavid S.

Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to the same TCP session. For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header. The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination port is registered to have gro handler. Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

Currently, if a device changes its mtu, first the change happens (invloving all the side effects), and after that the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is sent so that other devices can catch up with the new mtu. However, if they return NOTIFY_BAD, then the change is reverted and error returned. This is a really long and costy operation (sometimes). To fix this, add NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU notification which is called prior to any change actually happening, and if any callee returns NOTIFY_BAD - the change is aborted. This way we're skipping all the playing with apply/revert the mtu. CC: "David S.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation protocols in the GRO stack in the future. The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path, thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly. Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/ ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE. The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when validating the GRE csum. Note that commit 60769a5d "ipv4: gre: add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible. Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS). In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal. I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning will be needed to decide the best setting. All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs. (super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30) An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123) is configured. The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off). 1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 9.16Gbps CPU utilization: 19% 1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off thruput: 5.9Gbps CPU utilization: 15% 1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 12-13% 1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on thruput: 9.26Gbps CPU utilization: 10% The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE). 2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells) 2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.53Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.1.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.97Gbps CPU utilization: 7-8% 2.1.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 8.83Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% 2.1.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.98Gbps CPU utilization: 5% 2.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro off 2.2.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled thruput: 5.93Gbps CPU utilization: 9% 2.2.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled thruput: 5.62Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled thruput: 7.69Gbps CPU utilization: 8% 2.2.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled thruput: 8.96Gbps CPU utilization: 5-6% Signed-off-by: NH.K.

VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4). Two issues - (VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied to the inner packet. (VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original packet.

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to be invoked directly. But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's header_ops up to the VLAN device. This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but will see a VLAN device instead. Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange to pass the proper real device instead. To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header(). There are implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a ->rebuild (f.e. PLIP). So we need a helper function just like dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes. Use this helper in the one existing place where the header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code. With lots of help from Florian Westphal. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

neigh_priv_len is defined as u8. With all debug enabled struct ipoib_neigh has 200 bytes. The largest part is sk_buff_head with 96 bytes and here the spinlock with 72 bytes. The size value still fits in this u8 leaving some room for more. On -RT struct ipoib_neigh put on weight and has 392 bytes. The main reason is sk_buff_head with 288 and the fatty here is spinlock with 192 bytes. This does no longer fit into into neigh_priv_len and gcc complains. This patch changes neigh_priv_len from being 8bit to 16bit. Since the following element (dev_id) is 16bit followed by a spinlock which is aligned, the struct remains with a total size of 3200 (allmodconfig) / 2048 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes on x86-64. On x86-32 the struct is 1856 (allmodconfig) / 1216 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes long. The numbers were gained with and without the patch to prove that this change does not increase the size of the struct.

This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header" and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later. With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g., skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows (e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a different hdr length. Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at most one "transport layer" in the encap chain. Signed-off-by: NH.K.

TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such as the one discussed here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/ This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose. When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to 'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from 'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL. Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer. Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid within its wrapped area for all readers.

I have changed it to a regular int. Signed-off-by: NDan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Joby Poriyath provided a xen-netback patch to reduce the size of xenvif structure as some netdev allocation could fail under memory pressure/fragmentation. This patch is handling the problem at the core level, allowing any netdev structures to use vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed. As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, add __GFP_REPEAT to kzalloc() flags to do this fallback only when really needed.

napi_disable uses an msleep() call to wait for outstanding napi work to be finished after setting the disable bit. It does not always sleep incase there was no outstanding work. This resulted in a rare bug in ixgbe_down operation where a napi_disable call took place inside of a local_bh_disable()d context. In order to enable easier detection of future sleep while atomic BUGs, this patch adds a might_sleep() call, so that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible.

Separate the unreg_list and the close_list in dev_close_many preventing dev_close_many from permuting the unreg_list. The permutations of the unreg_list have resulted in cases where the loopback device is accessed it has been freed in code such as dst_ifdown. Resulting in subtle memory corruption. This is the second bug from sharing the storage between the close_list and the unreg_list. The issues that crop up with sharing are apparently too subtle to show up in normal testing or usage, so let's forget about being clever and use two separate lists. v2: Make all callers pass in a close_list to dev_close_many Signed-off-by: N"Eric W.

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.

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.
