      s390/qeth: fix overestimated count of buffer elements · 12472af8
      Julian Wiedmann 提交于
      qeth_get_elements_for_range() doesn't know how to handle a 0-length
      range (ie. start == end), and returns 1 when it should return 0.
      Such ranges occur on TSO skbs, where the L2/L3/L4 headers (and thus all
      of the skb's linear data) are skipped when mapping the skb into regular
      buffer elements.
      
      This overestimation may cause several performance-related issues:
      1. sub-optimal IO buffer selection, where the next buffer gets selected
         even though the skb would actually still fit into the current buffer.
      2. forced linearization, if the element count for a non-linear skb
         exceeds QETH_MAX_BUFFER_ELEMENTS.
      
      Rather than modifying qeth_get_elements_for_range() and adding overhead
      to every caller, fix up those callers that are in risk of passing a
      0-length range.

      s390/qeth: fix GSO throughput regression · 6d69b1f1
      Julian Wiedmann 提交于
      Using GSO with small MTUs currently results in a substantial throughput
      regression - which is caused by how qeth needs to map non-linear skbs
      into its IO buffer elements:
      compared to a linear skb, each GSO-segmented skb effectively consumes
      twice as many buffer elements (ie two instead of one) due to the
      additional header-only part. This causes the Output Queue to be
      congested with low-utilized IO buffers.
      
      Fix this as follows:
      If the MSS is low enough so that a non-SG GSO segmentation produces
      order-0 skbs (currently ~3500 byte), opt out from NETIF_F_SG. This is
      where we anticipate the biggest savings, since an SG-enabled
      GSO segmentation produces skbs that always consume at least two
      buffer elements.
      
      Larger MSS values continue to get a SG-enabled GSO segmentation, since
      1) the relative overhead of the additional header-only buffer element
      becomes less noticeable, and
      2) the linearization overhead increases.
      
      With the throughput regression fixed, re-enable NETIF_F_SG by default to
      reap the significant CPU savings of GSO.

      s390: net: add SPDX identifiers to the remaining files · ab9953ff
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
      audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
      
      Update the drivers/s390/net/ files with the correct SPDX license
      identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
      identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
      the full boiler plate text.
      
      This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
      Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

      networking: introduce and use skb_put_data() · 59ae1d12
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
