2010-05-06KS8695: Remove unnecessary memset of netdev private dataTobias Klauser
The memory for the private data is allocated using kzalloc in alloc_etherdev (or alloc_netdev_mq respectively) so there is no need to set it to 0 again. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-05-06rps: Various optimizationsEric Dumazet
Introduce ____napi_schedule() helper for callers in irq disabled contexts. rps_trigger_softirq() becomes a leaf function. Use container_of() in process_backlog() instead of accessing per_cpu address. Use a custom inlined version of __napi_complete() in process_backlog() to avoid one locked instruction : only current cpu owns and manipulates this napi, and NAPI_STATE_SCHED is the only possible flag set on backlog. we can use a plain write instead of clear_bit(), and we dont need an smp_mb() memory barrier, since RPS is on, backlog is protected by a spinlock.

2010-05-06microblaze: Kill NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN overrides.David S. Miller

2010-05-06net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytesEric Dumazet
eth_type_trans() & get_rps_cpus() currently need two 64bytes cache lines in packet to compute rxhash. Increasing NET_SKB_PAD from 32 to 64 reduces the need to one cache line only, and makes RPS faster.

2010-05-06ipv6: udp: make short packet logging consistent with ipv4Bjørn Mork
Adding addresses and ports to the short packet log message, like ipv4/udp.c does it, makes these messages a lot more useful: [ 822.182450] UDPv6: short packet: From [2001:db8:ffb4:3::1]:47839 23715/178 to [2001:db8:ffb4:3:5054:ff:feff:200]:1234 This requires us to drop logging in case pskb_may_pull() fails, which also is consistent with ipv4/udp.c Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

During Sx->S0 transitions, the interconnect between the MAC and PHY on 82577/82578 can remain in SMBus mode instead of transitioning to the PCIe-like mode required during normal operation.

Based on Andy's work, but I modified a lot. Similar to the patch for bridge, this patch does: 1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bonding; 2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bonding; 3) disable netpoll support of bonding when a netpoll-unabled device is added to bonding; 4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

2010-05-06netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devicesWANG Cong
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.

2010-05-06ixgbevf: Cache PF ack bit in interruptGreg Rose
When the PF acks a message from the VF the VF gets an interrupt. It must cache the ack bit so that polling SW will not miss the ack.

2010-05-06ixgbe: Streamline MC filter setup for VFsGreg Rose
The driver was calling the set Rx mode function for every multicast filter set by the VF. When starting many VMs where each might have multiple VLAN interfaces this would result in the function being called hundreds or even thousands of times. This is unnecessary for the case of the imperfect filters used in the MTA and has been streamlined to be more efficient.

2010-05-05e1000e: increase rx fifo size to 36K on 82574 and 82583Alexander Duyck
This change increases the RX fifo size to 36K for standard frames and decreases the TX fifo size to 4K. The reason for this change is that on slower systems the RX is much more likely to backfill and need space than the TX is. As long as the TX fifo is twice the size of the MTU we should have more than enough TX fifo.

2010-05-05net: __alloc_skb() speedupEric Dumazet
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. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves. All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in __alloc_skb(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
