Currently, registering a TIPC stack handler in the network device layer is done twice, once for Ethernet (eth_media) and Infiniband (ib_media) repectively. But, as this registration is not media specific, we can avoid some code duplication by moving the registering function to the generic bearer layer, to the file bearer.c, and call it only once. The same is true for the network device event notifier. As a side effect, the two workqueues we are using for for setting up/ cleaning up media can now be eliminated. Furthermore, the array for storing the specific media type structs, media_array[], can be entirely deleted. Note that the eth_started and ib_started flags were removed during the code relocation. There is now only one call to bearer_setup and bearer_cleanup, and these can logically not race against each other. Despite its size, this cleanup work incurs no functional changes in TIPC. In particular, it should be noted that the sequence ordering of received packets is unaffected by this change, since packet reception never was subject to any work queue handling in the first place.

TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such as the one discussed here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/ This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose. When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to 'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from 'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL. Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer. Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid within its wrapped area for all readers.

struct 'tipc_media' represents the specific info that the media layer adaptors (eth_media and ib_media) expose to the generic bearer layer. We clarify this by improved commenting, and by giving the 'media_list' array the more appropriate name 'media_info_array'. There are no functional changes in this commit.

Communication media types are abstracted through the struct 'tipc_media', one per media type. These structs are allocated statically inside their respective media file. Furthermore, in order to be able to reach all instances from a central location, we keep a static array with pointers to these structs. This array is currently initialized at runtime, under protection of tipc_net_lock. However, since the contents of the array itself never changes after initialization, we can just as well initialize it at compile time and make it 'const', at the same time making it obvious that no lock protection is needed here. This commit makes the array constant and removes the redundant lock protection.

This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are catched earlier and being easier to handle. Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close(). This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual. So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2). Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket structure. Cc: David S.

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.

struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a packet via the interface. This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC links will not discover a media failure any faster through this mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet sending and reception. Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and completely unnecessary deadlock problem. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout() Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue() Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr) Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer) I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock. We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and more manageable. An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer(). We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an interface goes down. A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks with the new behavior.

This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that needs to be provided, for example. On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users, however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly push the frame to the driver. In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for PF_PACKET a bit: # CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**] 1 CPU == 1,509,628 pps -- 1,208,708 -- 1,247,436 2 CPUs == 3,198,659 pps -- 2,536,012 -- 1,605,779 3 CPUs == 4,787,992 pps -- 3,788,740 -- 1,735,610 4 CPUs == 6,173,956 pps -- 4,907,799 -- 1,909,114 5 CPUs == 7,495,676 pps -- 5,956,499 -- 2,014,422 6 CPUs == 9,001,496 pps -- 7,145,064 -- 2,155,261 7 CPUs == 10,229,776 pps -- 8,190,596 -- 2,220,619 8 CPUs == 11,040,732 pps -- 9,188,544 -- 2,241,879 9 CPUs == 12,009,076 pps -- 10,275,936 -- 2,068,447 10 CPUs == 11,380,052 pps -- 11,265,337 -- 1,578,689 11 CPUs == 11,672,676 pps -- 11,845,344 -- 1,297,412 [...] 20 CPUs == 11,363,192 pps -- 11,014,933 -- 1,245,081 [**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed) The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast "qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like: socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0); Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable. The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.

Commit e40526cb introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to update the device used for the send path. We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0 passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind. So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline these helper functions automagically. While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(), and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware of that in his reference example [1]).

br_stp_rcv() is reached by non-rx_handler path. That means there is no guarantee that dev is bridge port and therefore simple NULL check of ->rx_handler_data is not enough.
