Replace the runtime oif name resolving by netdevice notifier based resolving. When an oif is given, a netdevice notifier is registered to resolve the name on NETDEV_REGISTER or NETDEV_CHANGE and unresolve it again on NETDEV_UNREGISTER or NETDEV_CHANGE to a different name.

2010-04-19rps: shortcut net_rps_action()Eric Dumazet
net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if RPS is not active. Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI, but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate. Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code (remove two ifdefs) Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache line, filling an existing hole. In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog() to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

2010-04-19netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrantJan Engelhardt
Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback: the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can possibly invoke ip6t_do_table. This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom' anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room allocated for two entries into the traverser. arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser anyhow.

2010-04-16rfs: Receive Flow SteeringTom Herbert
This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS). The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg (or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet, the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table, if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using the RPS mechanisms. The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets-- we consider this a non-starter. To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table. rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above. This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows. rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current" CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry. Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue, the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash entry of the rps_dev_flow_table. And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu) the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU if one of the following is true: - The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU) - Current CPU is offline - The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry. This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery. Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages: 1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2) this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from device napi_poll which is non-reentrant. This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets. It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols. There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The "rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry "rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two. The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the applications processing; this can result in increased performance (higher pps, lower latency). The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is much higher this technique seems to perform very well. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf. e1000e on 8 core Intel No RFS or RPS 104K tps at 30% CPU No RFS (best RPS config): 290K tps at 63% CPU RFS 303K tps at 61% CPU RPC test tps CPU% 50/90/99% usec latency Latency StdDev No RFS/RPS 103K 48% 757/900/3185 4472.35 RPS only: 174K 73% 415/993/2468 491.66 RFS 223K 73% 379/651/1382 315.61 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-04-15netfilter: bridge-netfilter: Fix MAC header handling with IP DNATBart De Schuymer
- fix IP DNAT on vlan- or pppoe-encapsulated traffic: The functions neigh_hh_output() or dst->neighbour->output() overwrite the complete Ethernet header, although we only need the destination MAC address. For encapsulated packets, they ended up overwriting the encapsulating header. The new code copies the Ethernet source MAC address and protocol number before calling dst->neighbour->output(). The Ethernet source MAC and protocol number are copied back in place in br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow(). This also makes the IP DNAT more transparent because in the old scheme the source MAC of the bridge was copied into the source address in the Ethernet header. We also let skb->protocol equal ETH_P_IP resp. ETH_P_IPV6 during the execution of the PF_INET resp. PF_INET6 hooks. - Speed up IP DNAT by calling neigh_hh_bridge() instead of neigh_hh_output(): if dst->hh is available, we already know the MAC address so we can just copy it.

2010-04-14stmmac: new descriptor field for the driver's platformGiuseppe CAVALLARO
The new enh_desc is used for selecting the enhanced descriptors structure. There are several scenarios; some chips (mac10/100 or gmac) want to use the enhanced descriptors; others want the normal ones. For example, on ST platforms: MAC10/100 uses the normal desc structure and the GMAC uses the enhanced one. It can be useful to get this information from the platform. This could also be decided at run-time looking at the chip's ID number; but it could happen that chips with the same ID want to use different descriptor structure.

2010-04-13ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-04-13net: sk_dst_cache RCUificationEric Dumazet
With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this work. sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock) This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU again :) This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers. __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check() condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk)) This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets, for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

2010-04-09radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]David Howells
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

2010-04-07mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation codeJohannes Berg
The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and leaking memory under certain circumstances during station destruction. Fix these issues by using the regular aggregation session teardown code and blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the station is really destructed. As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code block to destroy aggregation safely. Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs to keep track of the driver and peer states.

2010-04-07cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassocJouni Malinen
cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements, user space applications may need to clear authentication or association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other deauth/disassoc operations being completed. Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-04-07memcg: fix race in file_mapped accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with move_account (happens at rmdir()). increment page->mapcount (rmap.c) mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account() lock_page_cgroup() check page_mapped() if page_mapped(page)>1 { FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg } ..... overwrite pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() Then, old memcg (-1 file mapped) new memcg (+2 file mapped) This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous with lock_page_cgroup().
