2014-10-07net/mlx4_en: remove NETDEV_TX_BUSYEric Dumazet
Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible. They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another packet, to avoid requeues. For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a doorbell if TX ring is full.

Adjust fixed_phy_register() to return struct phy_device *, so that it becomes easy to use fixed PHYs without device tree support: phydev = fixed_phy_register(PHY_POLL, &fixed_phy_status, NULL); fixed_phy_set_link_update(phydev, fixed_phy_link_update); phy_connect_direct(netdev, phydev, handler_fn, phy_interface); This change is a prerequisite for modifying bcmgenet driver to work without a device tree on Broadcom's MIPS-based 7xxx platforms.

John Fastabend says: ==================== net sched rcu updates This fixes the use of tcf_proto from RCU callbacks it requires moving the unbind calls out of the callbacks and removing the tcf_proto argument from the tcf_em_tree_destroy(). This is a rework of two previous series and addresses comments from Cong. And should apply against latest net-next.

2014-10-06net: sched: do not use tcf_proto 'tp' argument from call_rcuJohn Fastabend
Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu occuring on another CPU. 'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context. This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the valid class field or it will be zeroed. And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

2014-10-06net: introduce netdevice gso_min_segs attributeEric Dumazet
Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet). This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC performance.

Earlier change to use usable slave array for TLB mode had an additional performance advantage. So extending the same logic to all other modes that use xmit-hash for slave selection (viz 802.3AD, and XOR modes). Also consolidating this with the earlier TLB change. The main idea is to build the usable slaves array in the control path and use that array for slave selection during xmit operation.

TX flow optimizations was authored and posted to the mailing list by Eric Dumazet [1] as a single patch. I splitted this patch to smaller patches, Reviewed it and tested. Changed from original patch: - s/iowrite32be/iowrite32/, since ring->doorbell_qpn is stored as be32 The tx copybreak patch was also suggested by Eric Dumazet, and was edited and reviewed by me. User space patch will be sent after kernel code is ready. I am sending this patchset now since the merge window is near and don't want to miss it. More work need to do: - Disable BF when xmit_more is in use - Make TSO use xmit_more too. Maybe by splitting small TSO packets in the driver itself, to avoid extra cpu/memory costs of GSO before the driver - Fix mlx4_en_xmit buggy handling of queue full in the middle of a burst partially posted to send queue using xmit_more Eric, I edited the patches to have you as the Author and the first signed-off-by.

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options that are in use and can handle newly defined options without further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

2014-10-06openvswitch: Factor out allocation and verification of actions.Jesse Gross
As the size of the flow key grows, it can put some pressure on the stack. This is particularly true in ovs_flow_cmd_set(), which needs several copies of the key on the stack. One of those uses is logically separate, so this factors it out to reduce stack pressure and improve readibility.

2014-10-06openvswitch: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.Jesse Gross
Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However, as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable, as in the case of pointers. This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

2014-10-06openvswitch: Add support for matching on OAM packets.Jesse Gross
Some tunnel formats have mechanisms for indicating that packets are OAM frames that should be handled specially (either as high priority or not forwarded beyond an endpoint). This provides support for allowing those types of packets to be matched.

2014-10-06openvswitch: Eliminate memset() from flow_extract.Jesse Gross
As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from the packet we must still zero out the entire key. This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well. In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of it is executed in non-error situations. Removing the memset() reduces the profile of ovs_flow_extract() from 0.64% to 0.56% when tested with large packets on a 10G link.

2014-10-06net: Add Geneve tunneling protocol driverAndy Zhou
This adds a device level support for Geneve -- Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation. The protocol is documented at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-01 Only protocol layer Geneve support is provided by this driver. Openvswitch can be used for configuring, set up and tear down functional Geneve tunnels.
