      net: cpu offline cause napi stall · 264524d5
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Frank Blaschka reported :
      <quote>
        During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus.
        Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device.
        Digging into the dump I found out following:
      
        napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers
        and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped
        because the budget was reached. napi stays in the
        softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again.
      
        I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
        the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
        poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.
      
        Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the
        poll_list is transfered to the new cpu.
      </quote>
      
      This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion :
      
      Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.

      bridge: provide a cow_metrics method for fake_ops · 6407d74c
      Alexander Holler 提交于
      Like in commit 0972ddb2 (provide cow_metrics() methods to blackhole
      dst_ops), we must provide a cow_metrics for bridges fake_dst_ops as
      well.
      
      This fixes a regression coming from commits 62fa8a84 (net: Implement
      read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.) and 33eb9873 (bridge:
      initialize fake_rtable metrics)

      David S. Miller 提交于
      The SEQ output functions grab the obj->attrib->hb_spinlock lock of
      sub-objects found in the hash traversal.  These locks are in a different
      realm than the one used for the irias_objects hash table itself.
      
      So put the latter into it's own lockdep class.

      Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
      If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
      we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
      tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
      always be configured with up-to-date settings.

      iwlagn: use cts-to-self protection on 5000 adapters series · 42b70a5f
      Stanislaw Gruszka 提交于
      This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
      since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
      5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
      
      These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
      image:
      
      vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
      patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
      
      This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
      periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
      after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
      in example below:
      
      patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
      
      However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
      driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
      
      wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
      wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
      wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
      wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
      
      On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:
      
      iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
      iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload
