We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is a vlan tag. However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags. Therefore if there is more than one tag (in-band or out-of-band), fall back to software emulation.

When checking if it is necessary to linearize a packet, we currently use vlan_features if the packet contains either an in-band or out- of-band vlan tag. However, in-band tags aren't special in any way for scatter/gather since they are part of the packet buffer and are simply more data to DMA. Therefore, only use vlan_features for out- of-band tags, which could potentially have some interaction with scatter/gather.

In dev_pick_tx recompute the queue index if the value stored in the socket is greater than or equal to the number of real queues for the device. The saved index in the sock structure is not guaranteed to be appropriate for the egress device (this could happen on a route change or in presence of tunnelling). The result of the queue index being bad would be to return a bogus queue (crash could prersumably follow). Signed-off-by: NTom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

dev_can_checksum() incorrectly returns true in these cases: 1. The skb has both out-of-band and in-band VLAN tags and the device supports checksum offload for the encapsulated protocol but only with one layer of encapsulation. 2. The skb has a VLAN tag and the device supports generic checksumming but not in conjunction with VLAN encapsulation. Rearrange the VLAN tag checks to avoid these.

Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping it in the networking core. This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the following: * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing the header if no group * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main receive routines * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic out in upper layers, such as bonding. There are a number of advantages to this: * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once. * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode). * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely necessary. * Consolidates common code in core networking.

Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware accleration.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers, mmap af_packet) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.

Do not set num_rx_queues in netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() some drivers will increase the real_num_rx_queues later due to a feature changes or available interrupts increasing. By setting num_rx_queues here this ends up creating a cap on the number of rx queues available. For example the ixgbe driver sets the max number of queues it intends to use ever then sets the current number in use with the netif_set_num_{rx|tx}_queues calls. With the current implementation the number of rx queues gets limited so when a feature such as DCB or FCoE is enabled the queues are no longer available. kobjects will only be allocated for real_num_rx_queues so the waste in memory is minimal.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468 (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not the actual number in use. For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

netdev_wait_allrefs() waits that all references to a device vanishes. It currently uses a _very_ pessimistic 250 ms delay between each probe. Some users reported that no more than 4 devices can be dismantled per second, this is a pretty serious problem for some setups. Most of the time, a refcount is about to be released by an RCU callback, that is still in flight because rollback_registered_many() uses a synchronize_rcu() call instead of rcu_barrier().

When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce3, "net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead of calling the select_queue callback. In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00 because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly. Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping.
