Adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it. This method can be used by low latency applications to busy-poll Ethernet device queues directly from the socket code. sysctl_net_ll_poll controls how many microseconds to poll. Default is zero (disabled). Individual protocol support will be added by subsequent patches.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

由 Willem de Bruijn 提交于
A cpu executing the network receive path sheds packets when its input queue grows to netdev_max_backlog. A single high rate flow (such as a spoofed source DoS) can exceed a single cpu processing rate and will degrade throughput of other flows hashed onto the same cpu. This patch adds a more fine grained hashtable. If the netdev backlog is above a threshold, IRQ cpus track the ratio of total traffic of each flow (using 4096 buckets, configurable). The ratio is measured by counting the number of packets per flow over the last 256 packets from the source cpu. Any flow that occupies a large fraction of this (set at 50%) will see packet drop while above the threshold. Tested: Setup is a muli-threaded UDP echo server with network rx IRQ on cpu0, kernel receive (RPS) on cpu0 and application threads on cpus 2--7 each handling 20k req/s. Throughput halves when hit with a 400 kpps antagonist storm. With this patch applied, antagonist overload is dropped and the server processes its complete load. The patch is effective when kernel receive processing is the bottleneck. The above RPS scenario is a extreme, but the same is reached with RFS and sufficient kernel processing (iptables, packet socket tap, ..).

In some situations, we need to disable TSO on bonding slaves. bonding device automatically unset TSO in bond_fix_features(), and performance is not good because : 1) We consume more cpu cycles. 2) GSO segmentation has some bugs leading to out of order TCP packets if this segmentation is done before virtual device. This particular problem will be addressed in a separate patch. This patch allows TSO being set/unset on the bonding master, so that GSO segmentation is done after bonding layer.

The current implementation of dev_uc_sync/unsync() assumes that there is a strict 1-to-1 relationship between the source and destination of the sync. In other words, once an address has been synced to a destination device, it will not be synced to any other device through the sync API. However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower devices and need to sync addresses to all of them. The current API falls short there. This patch introduces a new dev_uc_sync_multiple() api that can be called in the above circumstances and allows sync to work for every invocation.

A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: NVlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As time passed, some fields were added in net_device, and not at sensible offsets. Lets reorder some fields to reduce number of cache lines in RX path. Fields not used in data path should be moved out of this critical cache line. In particular, move broadcast[] to the end of the rx section, as it is less used, and ethernet uses only the beginning of the 32bytes field. Before patch : offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x258 offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x2b8 offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2c8 offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x278 After : offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x280 offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x298 offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2a8 offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x2b0 Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch allows LRO aggregation on bonded devices that contain an NX3031 device. It also adds a for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu(bond, slave) macro which executes for each slave that has bond as master. V3: After testing and discussing this with Rajesh, I decided to keep the vlan ip cache and just rename it to ip_cache since it will store bond ip addresses too. A new master flag has been added to the ip cache to denote that the address has been added because of a master device. I've taken care of the enslave/release cases by checking for various combinations of events and flags (e.g. netxen has a master, it's a bond master and it's not marked as a slave means it is being enslaved and is dev_open()ed in bond_enslave). I've changed netxen_free_ip_list() to have a "master" parameter which causes all IP addresses marked as master to be deleted (used when a netxen is being released). I've made the patch use the new upper device API as well. The following cases were tested: - bond -> netxen - vlan -> netxen - vlan -> bond -> netxen V2: Remove local ip caching, retrieve addresses dynamically and restore them if necessary.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.
