      liquidio: fix timespec64_to_ns typo · e7ad9793
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      While experimenting with changes to the timekeeping code, I
      ran into a build error in the liquidio driver:
      
      drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_main.c: In function 'liquidio_ptp_settime':
      drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_main.c:1850:22: error: passing argument 1 of 'timespec_to_ns' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
      
      The driver had a type mismatch since it was first merged, but
      this never caused problems because it is only built on 64-bit
      architectures that define timespec and timespec64 to the same
      type.
      
      If we ever want to compile-test the driver on 32-bit or change
      the way that 64-bit timespec64 is defined, we need to fix it,
      so let's just do it now.

      bpf: add meta pointer for direct access · de8f3a83
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This work enables generic transfer of metadata from XDP into skb. The
      basic idea is that we can make use of the fact that the resulting skb
      must be linear and already comes with a larger headroom for supporting
      bpf_xdp_adjust_head(), which mangles xdp->data. Here, we base our work
      on a similar principle and introduce a small helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta()
      for adjusting a new pointer called xdp->data_meta. Thus, the packet has
      a flexible and programmable room for meta data, followed by the actual
      packet data. struct xdp_buff is therefore laid out that we first point
      to data_hard_start, then data_meta directly prepended to data followed
      by data_end marking the end of packet. bpf_xdp_adjust_head() takes into
      account whether we have meta data already prepended and if so, memmove()s
      this along with the given offset provided there's enough room.
      
      xdp->data_meta is optional and programs are not required to use it. The
      rationale is that when we process the packet in XDP (e.g. as DoS filter),
      we can push further meta data along with it for the XDP_PASS case, and
      give the guarantee that a clsact ingress BPF program on the same device
      can pick this up for further post-processing. Since we work with skb
      there, we can also set skb->mark, skb->priority or other skb meta data
      out of BPF, thus having this scratch space generic and programmable
      allows for more flexibility than defining a direct 1:1 transfer of
      potentially new XDP members into skb (it's also more efficient as we
      don't need to initialize/handle each of such new members). The facility
      also works together with GRO aggregation. The scratch space at the head
      of the packet can be multiple of 4 byte up to 32 byte large. Drivers not
      yet supporting xdp->data_meta can simply be set up with xdp->data_meta
      as xdp->data + 1 as bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() will detect this and bail out,
      such that the subsequent match against xdp->data for later access is
      guaranteed to fail.
      
      The verifier treats xdp->data_meta/xdp->data the same way as we treat
      xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons. The requirement for doing
      the compare against xdp->data is that it hasn't been modified from it's
      original address we got from ctx access. It may have a range marking
      already from prior successful xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons
      though.

      smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data · 966a9671
      Ying Huang 提交于
      struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
      CPUs.  Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
      cache line size.  Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
      requirements.  This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
      cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
      that need to be transferred among CPUs.
      
      This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
      size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
      power of 2.  If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
      add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
      as well.
      
      Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
      
      To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
      call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
      
      To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
      thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt).  The test will create multiple
      threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
      is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
      memory.  In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
      compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.
