2011-09-15net: copy userspace buffers on device forwardingMichael S. Tsirkin
dev_forward_skb loops an skb back into host networking stack which might hang on the memory indefinitely. In particular, this can happen in macvtap in bridged mode. Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the sender in that case. As this patch makes skb_copy_ubufs extern now, I also added some documentation and made it clear the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flag automatically instead of doing it in all callers. This can be made into a separate patch if people feel it's worth it. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-07-07skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffersShirley Ma
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-19net: correct comment on where to place transmit time stamp hook.Richard Cochran
The comment for the skb_tx_timestamp() function suggests calling it just after a buffer is released to the hardware for transmission. However, for drivers that free the buffer in an ISR, this produces a race between the time stamp code and the ISR. This commit changes the comment to advise placing the call just before handing the buffer over to the hardware. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-11vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR checkJiri Pirko
Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header will not be properly put on the packet in the case of vlan header accelleration. As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean. Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof and look at the wrong field. Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats for a multicast packet. Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2010-11-24xps: Improvements in TX queue selectionTom Herbert
In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue index or setting the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel. We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket. Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight for the socket). This patch includes the modification in TCP output for setting this flag. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-20net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dstEric Dumazet
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time (used once). Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst. This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly. CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary dsts. Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(), since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

2010-10-16net: allocate skbs on local nodeEric Dumazet
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to align data on a cache line boundary. So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic. Remove microblaze and powerpc own NET_SKB_PAD definitions. Thanks to Alexander Duyck and David Miller for their comments.

2010-06-10net: deliver skbs on inactive slaves to exact matchesJohn Fastabend
Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and is not one of the special pkts tested for in skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan. For example, vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any packet handlers at all. However, bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx and bond0 -> ethx will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev, because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only delivers them to exact matches. This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves. Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others be dropped out right in the vlan path. I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes and load balancing modes. # bond0 -> ethx # vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx # bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx # bond0 -> ethx | vlanx -> -- Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-06-05skbuff: add check for non-linear to warn_if_lro and needs_linearizeAlexander Duyck
We can avoid an unecessary cache miss by checking if the skb is non-linear before accessing gso_size/gso_type in skb_warn_if_lro, the same can also be done to avoid a cache miss on nr_frags if data_len is 0.

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.

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.

2010-05-05net: __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>
2010-05-02net: Inline skb_pull() in eth_type_trans().David S. Miller
In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot") we uninlined skb_pull. But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing and it helps performance significantly. Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that serves also as annotation. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-04-20net: Remove two unnecessary exports (skbuff).Rami Rosen
There is no need to export skb_under_panic() and skb_over_panic() in skbuff.c, since these methods are used only in skbuff.c ; this patch removes these two exports. It also marks these functions as 'static' and removeS the extern declarations of them from include/linux/skbuff.h Signed-off-by: Rami Rosen <ramirose@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-04-13skbuff: remove unused dev_consume_skb macro definitionAlexander Duyck
dev_consume_skb and kfree_skb_clean have no users and in the case of kfree_skb_clean could cause potential build issues since I cannot find where it is defined. Based on the patch in which it was introduced it appears to have been a bit of leftover code from an earlier version of the patch in which kfree_skb_clean was dropped in favor of consume_skb.
