2008-07-18pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc.David S. Miller
Idea is from Patrick McHardy. Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue. This solves all kinds of visibility issues during qdisc destruction. The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list. The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup(). That was not needed previously because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

2008-07-17pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.David S. Miller
When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs for multiple transmit queues. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us. Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17net: Implement simple sw TX hashing.David S. Miller
It just xor hashes over IPv4/IPv6 addresses and ports of transport. The only assumption it makes is that skb_network_header() is set correctly. With bug fixes from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method.David S. Miller
Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-16core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cacheNeil Horman
in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3 skbs. If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb. This results in a drop for which we have no statistics incremented. This patch adds an unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these lost frames. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The tcp_enter_memory_pressure calls NET_INC_STATS, but doesn't have where to get the net from.

2008-07-14vlan: deliver packets received with VLAN acceleration to network tapsPatrick McHardy
When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs they are silently dropped. Add a new function netif_nit_deliver() to deliver incoming packets to all network interface taps and use it in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() to make VLAN packets visible on the underlying device.

2008-07-14vlan: Don't store VLAN tag in cbPatrick McHardy
Use a real skb member to store the skb to avoid clashes with qdiscs, which are allowed to use the cb area themselves. As currently only real devices that consume the skb set the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag, no explicit invalidation is neccessary. The new member fills a hole on 64 bit, the skb layout changes from: __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 176 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t mac_header; /* 184 4 */ sk_buff_data_t tail; /* 188 4 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */ sk_buff_data_t end; /* 192 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ to __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ __u16 vlan_tci; /* 176 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 184 4 */ Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-08netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.David S. Miller
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

2008-06-27tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LROOctavian Purdila
If an skb has nr_frags set to zero but its frag_list is not empty (as it can happen if software LRO is enabled), and a previous tcp_read_sock has consumed the linear part of the skb, then __skb_splice_bits: (a) incorrectly reports an error and (b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits call (the one that handles the frag_list skbs) to either skip data, or, if the unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb in the frag_list, make tcp_splice_read loop forever.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them.

2008-06-18netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflowWang Chen
Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow. Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a positive @inc will cause allmulti be off. This is not what we want, though it's rare case. The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error. Change of v2: Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int. So callers can get the overflow error. Caller's fix will be done later. Change of v3: 1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR, KERN_WARNING is enough. 2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we return at once.

2008-06-17net: Add sk_set_socket() helper.David S. Miller
In order to more easily grep for all things that set sk->sk_socket, add sk_set_socket() helper inline function. Suggested (although only half-seriously) by Evgeniy Polyakov. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-06-18bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zeroJay Vosburgh
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs). Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created, but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is created to create and destroy files in net_class. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>. Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to update the documentation.

2008-06-17net/core: add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER eventOr Gerlitz
Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER) always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.
