      [NET]: Add NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM · 8648b305
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM
      identically so we test for them in quite a few places.  For the sake
      of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two.  We
      also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various
      places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

      [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock · 932ff279
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
      transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
      This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
      
      With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
      isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
      and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
      xmit_lock recursively.
      
      While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
      trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
      maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
      delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
      
      So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
      following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
      functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
      
      I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
      used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
      functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
      
      This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
      bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
      netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
      unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
      use netif_tx_disable.
      
      The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
      xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

      [NET]: Deinline some larger functions from netdevice.h · 56079431
      Denis Vlasenko 提交于
      On a allyesconfig'ured kernel:
      
      Size  Uses Wasted Name and definition
      ===== ==== ====== ================================================
         95  162  12075 netif_wake_queue      include/linux/netdevice.h
        129   86   9265 dev_kfree_skb_any     include/linux/netdevice.h
        127   56   5885 netif_device_attach   include/linux/netdevice.h

         81    7    366 netif_schedule        include/linux/netdevice.h
      
      netif_wake_queue is big because __netif_schedule is a big inline:
      
      static inline void __netif_schedule(struct net_device *dev)
      {
              if (!test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_SCHED, &dev->state)) {
                      unsigned long flags;
                      struct softnet_data *sd;
      
                      local_irq_save(flags);
                      sd = &__get_cpu_var(softnet_data);
                      dev->next_sched = sd->output_queue;
                      sd->output_queue = dev;
                      raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ);
                      local_irq_restore(flags);
              }
      }
      
      static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      #ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP
              if (netpoll_trap())
                      return;
      #endif
              if (test_and_clear_bit(__LINK_STATE_XOFF, &dev->state))
                      __netif_schedule(dev);
      }
      
      By de-inlining __netif_schedule we are saving a lot of text
      at each callsite of netif_wake_queue and netif_schedule.
      __netif_rx_schedule is also big, and it makes more sense to keep
      both of them out of line.
      
      Patch also deinlines dev_kfree_skb_any. We can deinline dev_kfree_skb_irq
      instead... oh well.
      
      netif_device_attach/detach are not hot paths, we can deinline them too.

      [NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly · fb286bb2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
      which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults.  If that happens,
      it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
      trace with the device name.  In future it can turn off RX checksum.
      
      I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
      use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
      exceptions of:
      
      * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit.  These will call
      netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.
      
      * The following have not been completely checked/converted:
      
      ipmr
      ip_vs
      netfilter
      dccp

      [IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach · e89e9cf5
      Ananda Raju 提交于
      Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
      
      1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
      2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
      3. udp sendfile support with UFO
      
      This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
      datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
      driver to use the UFO interface.
      
      UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
      -------------------------------------------
      UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
      IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
      will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
      MTU sized packets
      
      1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
      dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
      
      NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
      
      2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
      UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
      
      "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
      
      skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
      fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
      
      skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
      contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
      indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
      compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
      each fragmented IP packet.
      
      For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
      skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
      IPv6 fragments.

      Place them on separate cache lines in SMP to lower memory bouncing
      between multiple CPU accessing the device.
      
           - One part is mostly used on receive path (including
             eth_type_trans()) (poll_list, poll, quota, weight, last_rx,
             dev_addr, broadcast)
      
           - One part is mostly used on queue transmit path (qdisc)
            (queue_lock, qdisc, qdisc_sleeping, qdisc_list, tx_queue_len)
      
           - One part is mostly used on xmit path (device)
            (xmit_lock, xmit_lock_owner, priv, hard_start_xmit, trans_start)
      
      'features' is placed outside of these hot points, in a location that
      may be shared by all cpus (because mostly read)
      
      name_hlist is moved close to name[IFNAMSIZ] to speedup __dev_get_by_name()

      [PATCH] sky2: driver update. · 793b883e
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      Here is revised patch against netdev sky2 branch.
      It includes whitespace fixes, all the changes from the previous
      review as well as some optimizations and timing fixes to
      solve some of the hangs.
      
      The stall problem is better but not perfect. It appears that
      under stress the chip can't keep up with the bus
      and sends a pause frame, then hangs. This version is for
      testing, and hopefully other eyes might see the root
      cause of the problem.
      
      I don't want to reinvent the ugly watchdog code in the syskonnect
      version of sk98lin.  If you read it you will see, the original
      driver writer and the hardware developer obviously didn't
      understand each other.
      
      Dual port support is included, but not tested yet. It did
      require small change to NAPI since both ports share same
      IRQ.

      [NETPOLL]: Introduce a netpoll_info struct · 115c1d6e
      Jeff Moyer 提交于
      This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
      will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll.  The reason for
      this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
      should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll;  and 2) this is a first
      step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
      same net_device.
      
      The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure.  As
      such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
