There are many cases where this feature does not improve performance or even reduces it. For example, here are the results from tests that I've run using 3.12.6 on one Intel Xeon W3565 and one i7 920 connected by ixgbe adapters. The results are from the Xeon, but they're similar on the i7.

While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}.

Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring: - Split cgroupfs classid handling into net core to better express a possible more generic use. - Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio later on. - By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of functionality built when compiled as module. cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan. No change in functionality, but only code refactoring that is being done here.

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to be invoked directly. But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's header_ops up to the VLAN device. This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but will see a VLAN device instead. Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange to pass the proper real device instead. To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header(). There are implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a ->rebuild (f.e. PLIP). So we need a helper function just like dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes. Use this helper in the one existing place where the header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code. With lots of help from Florian Westphal. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

It is useful to be able to walk all upper devices when bringing a device online where the RTNL lock is held. In this case it is safe to walk the all_adj_list because the RTNL lock is used to protect the write side as well. This patch adds a check to see if the rtnl lock is held before throwing a warning in netdev_all_upper_get_next_dev_rcu(). Also because we now have a call site for lockdep_rtnl_is_held() outside COFIG_LOCK_PROVING an inline definition returning 1 is needed. Similar to the rcu_read_lock_is_held().

The neighbour code sends up an RTM_NEWNEIGH netlink notification if the NUD state of a neighbour cache entry is changed by a timer (e.g. from REACHABLE to STALE), even if the lladdr of the entry has not changed. But an administrative change to the the NUD state of a neighbour cache entry that does not change the lladdr (e.g. via "ip -4 neigh change ... nud ...") does not trigger a netlink notification. This means that netlink listeners will not hear about administrative NUD state changes such as from a resolved state to PERMANENT. This patch changes the neighbor code to generate an RTM_NEWNEIGH message when the NUD state of an entry is changed administratively.

This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header" and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later. With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g., skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows (e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a different hdr length. Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at most one "transport layer" in the encap chain. Signed-off-by: NH.K.

RFC 4191 states in 3.5: When a host avoids using any non-reachable router X and instead sends a data packet to another router Y, and the host would have used router X if router X were reachable, then the host SHOULD probe each such router X's reachability by sending a single Neighbor Solicitation to that router's address. A host MUST NOT probe a router's reachability in the absence of useful traffic that the host would have sent to the router if it were reachable. In any case, these probes MUST be rate-limited to no more than one per minute per router. Currently, when the neighbour corresponding to a router falls into NUD_FAILED, it's never considered again. Introduce a new rt6_nud_state value, RT6_NUD_FAIL_PROBE, which suggests the route should not be used but should be probed with a single NS. The probe is ratelimited by the existing code. To better distinguish meanings of the failure values, rename RT6_NUD_FAIL_SOFT to RT6_NUD_FAIL_DO_RR.

Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added. Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the time of these operations. Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519). This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly set by the user since the inet device's creation.

Recently GRO started generating packets with frag_lists of frags. This was not handled by GSO, thus leading to a crash. Thankfully these packets are of a regular form and are easy to handle. This patch handles them in two ways. For completely non-linear frag_list entries, we simply continue to iterate over the frag_list frags once we exhaust the normal frags. For frag_list entries with linear parts, we call pskb_trim on the first part of the frag_list skb, and then process the rest of the frags in the usual way. This patch also kills a chunk of dead frag_list code that has obviously never ever been run since it ends up generating a bogus GSO-segmented packet with a frag_list entry. Future work is planned to split super big packets into TSO ones.

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

The following commit: b6c40d68 net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting. The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count. This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently down. A later commit: deede2fa vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up, thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN. The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans, then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to the physical devices. A simple examle of the scenario is the following: eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50 If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is currently required for operation as part of the bridge. As a result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface. The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect flag propagation. As a result we can remove the generic solution introduced in b6c40d68 and leave it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block flag propagation or not.

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID within the family, rather than the global group ID. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
