The previous idea was to check whether a net namespace is in net_exit_list or not. It doesn't work, because net->exit_list is used in __register_pernet_operations and __unregister_pernet_operations where all namespaces are added to a temporary list to make cleanup in a error case, so list_empty(&net->exit_list) always returns false.

This patch adds support for setting and using XPS when QoS via traffic classes is enabled. With this change we will factor in the priority and traffic class mapping of the packet and use that information to correctly select the queue. This allows us to define a set of queues for a given traffic class via mqprio and then configure the XPS mapping for those queues so that the traffic flows can avoid head-of-line blocking between the individual CPUs if so desired.

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port. However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute. This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device and act accordingly.

There is a race condition in store_rps_map that allows jump label count in rps_needed to go below zero. This can happen when concurrently attempting to set and a clear map. Scenario: 1. rps_needed count is zero 2. New map is assigned by setting thread, but rps_needed count _not_ yet incremented (rps_needed count still zero) 2. Map is cleared by second thread, old_map set to that just assigned 3. Second thread performs static_key_slow_dec, rps_needed count now goes negative Fix is to increment or decrement rps_needed under the spinlock.

This is useful for instance for DSA Ethernet devices not backed by a platform_device, but a PCI device. Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated with CONFIG_OF_NET.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard. Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal latencies. To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use : ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44 But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to 50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when a packet with TCP Push flag is received. Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every incoming packet. This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do, based on traffic pattern. Packets with Push flag wont be delayed. Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep receiving data. This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond. To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

由 Tom Gundersen 提交于
Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: NTom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: NDavid Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: NKay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
