2011-11-14ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibsEric Dumazet
Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very expensive (can be ~88000 us). This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on non x86 arches) ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic operation instead of using percpu data. This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-13net: introduce ethernet teaming deviceJiri Pirko
This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference. We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load. We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios. This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as well. On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg() calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps. IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware UDP application. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-11-08Fix incorrect usage of NET_IP_ALIGNNico Erfurth
The driver used NET_IP_ALIGN to remove some additional padding inside of the rx_fixup function. On many architectures NET_IP_ALIGN defaults to 2 which removed the correct amount of bytes. On MCORE2-machines commit ea812ca1b06113597adcd8e70c0f84a413d97544 introduces a change which sets NET_IP_ALIGN to 0 by default. Which triggered the bug on these machines. This fix introduces a new RXW_PADDING define and uses this instead of NET_IP_ALIGN. The name was taken from the original SMSC7500 driver which is provided by SMSC.

2011-11-07VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossingAl Viro
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with unpleasant consequences for NFS4. Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline: cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF' #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> main() { struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1}; if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl)) perror("setlk"); } EOF cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test then on nfs4: mount --bind file1 file2 /tmp/test < file1 # ok /tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"... What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server. The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...
