2011-05-05net: Add sendmmsg socket system callAnton Blanchard
This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg. I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using this new syscall: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets. 64B UDP batch pkts/sec 1 804570 2 872800 (+ 8 %) 4 916556 (+14 %) 8 939712 (+17 %) 16 952688 (+18 %) 32 956448 (+19 %) 64 964800 (+20 %) 64B raw socket batch pkts/sec 1 1201449 2 1350028 (+12 %) 4 1461416 (+22 %) 8 1513080 (+26 %) 16 1541216 (+28 %) 32 1553440 (+29 %) 64 1557888 (+30 %) We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30% on raw socket send.

2011-05-05net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdeviceJiri Pirko
Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit dev_alloc_name() calls. The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.

2011-05-04ixgbe: Cleanup PCIe bus speed infoDon Skidmore
PCIe connections should be expressed as GT/s (GigaTransfers per second) instead of the current Gb/s (Gigabits per second). In addition, it is incorrect because (due to PCIe gen 1 & 2 having a 20% overhead) the actually data rate, when expressed in Gb/s, is only 80% of the rate of GT/s.

2011-05-04ixgbe: improve EEPROM read/write operationsEmil Tantilov
Introduce buffered read/writes which greatly improves performance on parts with large EEPROMs. Previously reading/writing a word requires taking/releasing of synchronization semaphores which adds 10ms to each operation. The optimization is to read/write in buffers, but make sure the semaphore is not held for >500ms according to the datasheet. Since we can't read the EEPROM page size ixgbe_detect_eeprom_page_size() is used to discover the EEPROM size when needed and keeps the result in word_page_size for the rest of the run time. Use buffered reads for ethtool -e. Signed-off-by: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@intel.com> Tested-by: Evan Swanson <evan.swanson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

2011-05-02net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet
Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed. It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu read section.

2011-05-02ipv4: Make sure flowi4->{saddr,daddr} are always set.David S. Miller
Slow path output route resolution always makes sure that ->{saddr,daddr} are set, and also if we trigger into IPSEC resolution we initialize them as well, because xfrm_lookup() expects them to be fully resolved. But if we hit the fast path and flowi4->flowi4_proto is zero, we won't do this initialization. Therefore, move the IPSEC path initialization to the route cache lookup fast path to make sure these are always set. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is a regression from c4aac1ab9b973798163b34939b522f01e4d28ac9 - gw_node_update() doesn't add a new gw_node in case of empty curr_gw.

2011-04-29ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed APIDavid Decotigny
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated.

2011-04-29ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned dataDavid Decotigny
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.
