      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      vlan: adds vlan_dev_select_queue · 669d3e0b
      Vasu Dev 提交于
      This is required to correctly select vlan tx queue for a driver
      supporting multi tx queue with ndo_select_queue implemented since
      currently selected vlan tx queue is unaligned to selected queue by
      real net_devce ndo_select_queue.
      
      Unaligned vlan tx queue selection causes thrash with higher vlan
      tx lock contention for least fcoe traffic and wrong socket tx
      queue_mapping for ixgbe having ndo_select_queue implemented.
      
      -v2
      
      As per Eric Dumazet<eric.dumazet@gmail.com> comments, mirrored
      vlan net_device_ops to have them with and without vlan_dev_select_queue
      and then select according to real dev ndo_select_queue present or not
      for a vlan net_device. This is to completely skip vlan_dev_select_queue
      calling for real net_device not supporting ndo_select_queue.

      vlan: Precise RX stats accounting · 9793241f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
      vlan RX routines simultaneously for the same vlan device.
      
      We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
      get slightly wrong counters.
      
      One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
      accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
      between cpus.
      
      Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
      data per vlan device.

      vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used · 05423b24
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.
      
      Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
      This forbids use of null vlan ID.
      
      As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)
      
      As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
      allow null VLAN ID.
      
      In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
      a bit outside of vlan_tci.
      
      #define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
      #define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
      #define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
      #define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
      #define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

      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.

      net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit() · 93f154b5
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
      when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
      dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).
      
      CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
      quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
      since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.
      
      It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
      devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.
      
      David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
      (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
      which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().
      
      List of devices that must clear this flag is :
      
      - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
          "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
           already need to have a dst_entry attached."
      - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function
      
      - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
      (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

      vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down · adc667e8
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      	Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
      device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
      administratively up or down.
      
      	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
      real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
      set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
      and close of the VLAN device.
      
      	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
      carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
      for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
      devices.

      netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX. · e8a0464c
      David S. Miller 提交于
      alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
      structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.
      
      Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
      through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
      interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
      things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.
      
      Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
      only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
      for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.
