2010-05-17net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)Scott Feldman
Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of port-profile on a netdev interface. Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/ RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF (added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes using this layout: [IFLA_NUM_VF] [IFLA_VF_PORTS] [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... ... [IFLA_PORT_SELF] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in enic patch 2/2 of this patch set. A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port- profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch. There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port instance ID. The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the first step in the flow.

2010-05-17can: sja1000 platform data fixesWolfgang Grandegger
The member "clock" of struct "sja1000_platform_data" is documented as "CAN bus oscillator frequency in Hz" but it's actually used as the CAN clock frequency, which is half of it. To avoid further confusion, this patch fixes it by renaming the member to "osc_freq". That way, also non mainline users will notice the change. The platform code for the relevant boards is updated accordingly. Furthermore, pre-defined values are now used for the members "ocr" and "cdr".

2010-05-17net: add a noref bit on skb dstEric Dumazet
Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted. Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched. skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current user is not rcu protected. New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

Now we have a set of nested attributes: IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED) IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED) IFLA_VF_MAC IFLA_VF_VLAN IFLA_VF_TX_RATE This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.

2010-05-15net: Consistent skb timestampingEric Dumazet
With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path. If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch. If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch. This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results. I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap) Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense. Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible, before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps. Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog, after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

2010-05-11revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commitsRobin Holt
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-05-07cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handlingJohannes Berg
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding, and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now. To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things: 1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device: IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll; IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device at run-time; 2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops: ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is removed. 3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter; export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later; 4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto. 5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll. 6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores.

virtio added mergeable buffers mode where 2 bytes of extra info is put after vnet header but before actual data (tun does not need this data). In hindsight, it would have been better to add the new info *before* the packet: as it is, users need a lot of tricky code to skip the extra 2 bytes in the middle of the iovec, and in fact applications seem to get it wrong, and only work with specific iovec layout. The fact we might need to split iovec also means we might in theory overflow iovec max size. This patch adds a simpler way for applications to handle this, and future proofs the interface against further extensions, by making the size of the virtio net header configurable from userspace. As a result, tun driver will simply skip the extra 2 bytes on both input and output. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-05-01net: sock_def_readable() and friends RCU conversionEric Dumazet
sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming packet. RCU conversion is pretty much needed : 1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer). [Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing] 2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in sock_alloc_inode(). 3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq" 4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct socket_wq" 5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of sk->sk_sleep 6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside a rcu_read_lock() section. 7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to : - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks. - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) 8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well. 9) Exceptions : macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq" instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing. Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

2010-04-28caif: Rewritten socket implementationSjur Braendeland
Changes: This is a complete re-write of the socket layer. Making the socket implementation more aligned with the other socket layers and using more of the support functions available in sock.c. Lots of code is copied from af_unix (and some from af_irda). Non-blocking mode should be working as well. Signed-off-by: Sjur Braendeland <sjur.brandeland@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Otherwise we must export backing-dev.h as well, which doesn't make any sense. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2010-04-27net: batch skb dequeueing from softnet input_pkt_queueChangli Gao
batch skb dequeueing from softnet input_pkt_queue to reduce potential lock contention when RPS is enabled. Note: in the worst case, the number of packets in a softnet_data may be double of netdev_max_backlog.
