Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar & macvlan : 1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters. 2) macvlan incremented txq->tx_dropped, it can use the dev->stats.tx_dropped counter. 3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b8f42 (Use net_device internal stats) Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long" fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats) 4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold tx_bytes/tx_packets This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget, calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.

After recent changes, (percpu stats on vlan/tunnels...), we dont need
anymore per struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters.

Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar & macvlan :

1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters.

2) macvlan incremented txq->tx_dropped, it can use the
dev->stats.tx_dropped counter.

3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b8f42 (Use net_device internal stats)
    Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long"
fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats)

4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold
tx_bytes/tx_packets

This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget,
calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.

macvtap: Limit packet queue length 2010-07-22T20:08:56+00:00 Herbert Xu herbert@gondor.apana.org.au 2010-07-21T21:44:31+00:00 8a35747a5d13b99e076b0222729e0caa48cb69b6 Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over a macvtap link to a kvm receiver. This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues are unlimited in length. This means that if the receiver can't keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver. This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length. Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver queue fills up. This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied anyway. Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this. Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when macvtap_get_queue fails. Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a non-zero TX queue length. This patch includes his work to change the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.
