As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is non-trivial. There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and then write the device register. Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications to the device drivers. The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the current SKB. And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer update. Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Amir Vadai says: ==================== Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules I'm re-spinning this patchset. At the begining it was suggested to use a different name for the parameter, but at the end [3] the resolution was to leave it as it is in this patch. Drivers need to know if running from kdump kernel in order to change their memory profile - since kdump environment is limited by available memory. Currently there are drivers that are using reset_devices as suggested in [2]. In [2] it was suggested to use reset_devices, but the context was, to enable driver to know when the hardware device is needed to be reset, and not if this is a kdump environment. We think that is_kdump_kernel() is better suited to select between different memory profiles. The first patch in this patchset exports a needed symbol in order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from the drivers. The rest of the patches change from reset_devices to is_kdump_kernel() in 2 networking drivers. The idea of this patchset was suggested by Vivek Goyal. Tested (only build) and applied on top of commit 8fc54f68: ("net: use reciprocal_scale() helper") [1] - ea1c1af1: ("net/mlx4_en: Reduce memory consumption on kdump kernel") [2] - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/27/341 [3] - http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg291492.html ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to make elfcorehdr_addr exported. This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from a kdump kernel. And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better.

Basic deferred TX queue flushing infrastructure. Over time, and specifically and more recently at the Networking Workshop during Kernel SUmmit in Chicago, we have discussed the idea of having some way to optimize transmits of multiple TX packets at a time. There are several areas of overhead that could be amortized with such schemes. One has to do with locking and transactional overhead, the other has to do with device specific costs. This patch set here is more aimed at device specific costs. Typically a device queues up a packet in the TX queue and then has to do something to have the device start processing that new entry. Sometimes this is composed of doing an MMIO write to a "tail" register, and in other cases it can involve something as expensive as a hypervisor call. The basic setup defined here is that when the driver supports deferred TX queue flushing, ndo_start_xmit should no longer perform that operation. Instead a new operation, ndo_xmit_flush, should do it. I have converted IGB and virtio_net as example initial users. The IGB conversion is tested, virtio_net is not but it does compile :-) All ndo_start_xmit call sites have been abstracted behind a new helper called netdev_start_xmit(). This just adds the infrastructure, it does not actually add any instances of actually doing multiple ndo_start_xmit calls per ndo_xmit_flush invocation. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch addresses a couple of minor items, mostly addesssing prandom_bytes(): 1) prandom_bytes{,_state}() should use size_t for length arguments, 2) We can use put_unaligned() when filling the array instead of open coding it [ perhaps some archs will further benefit from their own arch specific implementation when GCC cannot make up for it ], 3) Fix a typo, 4) Better use unsigned int as type for getting the arch seed, 5) Make use of prandom_u32_max() for timer slack. Regarding the change to put_unaligned(), callers of prandom_bytes() which internally invoke prandom_bytes_state(), don't bother as they expect the array to be filled randomly and don't have any control of the internal state what-so-ever (that's also why we have periodic reseeding there, etc), so they really don't care. Now for the direct callers of prandom_bytes_state(), which are solely located in test cases for MTD devices, that is, drivers/mtd/tests/{oobtest.c,pagetest.c,subpagetest.c}: These tests basically fill a test write-vector through prandom_bytes_state() with an a-priori defined seed each time and write that to a MTD device. Later on, they set up a read-vector and read back that blocks from the device. So in the verification phase, the write-vector is being re-setup [ so same seed and prandom_bytes_state() called ], and then memcmp()'ed against the read-vector to check if the data is the same. Akinobu, Lothar and I also tested this patch and it runs through the 3 relevant MTD test cases w/o any errors on the nandsim device (simulator for MTD devs) for x86_64, ppc64, ARM (i.MX28, i.MX53 and i.MX6): # modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xac \ third_id_byte=0x00 fourth_id_byte=0x15 # modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0 # modprobe mtd_pagetest dev=0 # modprobe mtd_subpagetest dev=0 We also don't have any users depending directly on a particular result of the PRNG (except the PRNG self-test itself), and that's just fine as it e.g. allowed us easily to do things like upgrading from taus88 to taus113.

由 David S. Miller 提交于
Drivers, and perhaps other entities we have not yet considered, sometimes want to know how deep the protocol headers go before deciding how large of an SKB to allocate and how much of the packet to place into the linear SKB area. For example, consider a driver which has a device which DMAs into pools of pages and then tells the driver where the data went in the DMA descriptor(s). The driver can then build an SKB and reference most of the data via SKB fragments (which are page/offset/length triplets). However at least some of the front of the packet should be placed into the linear SKB area, which comes before the fragments, so that packet processing can get at the headers efficiently. The first thing each protocol layer is going to do is a "pskb_may_pull()" so we might as well aggregate as much of this as possible while we're building the SKB in the driver. Part of supporting this is that we don't have an SKB yet, so we want to be able to let the flow dissector operate on a raw buffer in order to compute the offset of the end of the headers. So now we have a __skb_flow_dissect() which takes an explicit data pointer and length. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jon Maloy says: ==================== tipc: Merge port and socket layer code After the removal of the TIPC native interface, there is no reason to keep a distinction between a "generic" port layer and a "specific" socket layer in the code. Throughout the last months, we have posted several series that aimed at facilitating removal of the port layer, and in particular the port_lock spinlock, which in reality duplicates the role normally kept by lock_sock()/bh_lock_sock(). In this series, we finalize this work, by making a significant number of changes to the link, node, port and socket code, all with the aim of reducing dependencies between the layers. In the final commits, we then remove the port spinlock, port.c and port.h altogether. After this series, we have a socket layer that has only few dependencies to the rest of the stack, so that it should be possible to continue cleanups of its code without significantly affecting other code. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
