net: loopback: use NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE for name_assign_type

2022-11-25T09:39:05+00:00

When the name_assign_type attribute was introduced (commit
685343fc3ba6, "net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute"), the
loopback device was explicitly mentioned as one which would make use
of NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:

    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_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 [...]

Switch to that so that reading /sys/class/net/lo/name_assign_type
produces something sensible instead of returning -EINVAL.

net: Remove the obsolte u64_stats_fetch_*_irq() users (drivers).

2022-10-29T03:13:54+00:00

Now that the 32bit UP oddity is gone and 32bit uses always a sequence
count, there is no need for the fetch_irq() variants anymore.

Convert to the regular interface.

net: loopback: enable BIG TCP packets

2022-05-16T09:18:56+00:00

Set the driver limit to GSO_MAX_SIZE (512 KB).

This allows the admin/user to set a GSO limit up to this value.

Tested:

ip link set dev lo gso_max_size 200000
netperf -H ::1 -t TCP_RR -l 100 -- -r 80000,80000 &

tcpdump shows :

net: Add skb_clear_tstamp() to keep the mono delivery_time

2022-03-03T14:38:48+00:00

Right now, skb->tstamp is reset to 0 whenever the skb is forwarded.

If skb->tstamp has the mono delivery_time, clearing it can hurt
the performance when it finally transmits out to fq@phy-dev.

The earlier patch added a skb->mono_delivery_time bit to
flag the skb->tstamp carrying the mono delivery_time.

This patch adds skb_clear_tstamp() helper which keeps
the mono delivery_time and clears everything else.

The delivery_time clearing will be postponed until the stack knows the
skb will be delivered locally.  It will be done in a latter patch.

net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.

2022-02-14T13:38:35+00:00

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.

netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().

netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.

Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.

Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.

net: Don't include filter.h from net/sock.h

2021-12-29T16:48:14+00:00

sock.h is pretty heavily used (5k objects rebuilt on x86 after
it's touched). We can drop the include of filter.h from it and
add a forward declaration of struct sk_filter instead.
This decreases the number of rebuilt objects when bpf.h
is touched from ~5k to ~1k.

There's a lot of missing includes this was masking. Primarily
in networking tho, this time.

net: use u64_stats_t in struct pcpu_lstats

2019-11-08T04:03:08+00:00

In order to fix the data-race found by KCSAN, we
can use the new u64_stats_t type and its accessors instead
of plain u64 fields. This will still generate optimal code
for both 32 and 64 bit platforms.
