2011-10-20pktgen: remove ndelay() callEric Dumazet
Daniel Turull reported inaccuracies in pktgen when using low packet rates, because we call ndelay(val) with values bigger than 20000. Instead of calling ndelay() for delays < 100us, we can instead loop calling ktime_now() only.

2011-10-20tcp: use TCP_DEFAULT_INIT_RCVWND in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()Eric Dumazet
Since commit 356f039822b (TCP: increase default initial receive window.), we allow sender to send 10 (TCP_DEFAULT_INIT_RCVWND) segments. Change tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() to reflect this change, even if no real change is expected, since sysctl_tcp_rmem[1] = 87380 and this value is bigger than tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() computed rcvmem (~23720) Note: Since commit 356f039822b limited default window to maximum of 10*1460 and 2*MSS, we use same heuristic in this patch.

2011-10-19net: do not take an additional reference in skb_frag_set_pageIan Campbell
I audited all of the callers in the tree and only one of them (pktgen) expects it to do so. Taking this reference is pretty obviously confusing and error prone. In particular I looked at the following commits which switched callers of (__)skb_frag_set_page to the skb paged fragment api: 6a930b9f163d7e6d9ef692e05616c4ede65038ec cxgb3: convert to SKB paged frag API. 5dc3e196ea21e833128d51eb5b788a070fea1f28 myri10ge: convert to SKB paged frag API. 0e0634d20dd670a89af19af2a686a6cce943ac14 vmxnet3: convert to SKB paged frag API. 86ee8130a46769f73f8f423f99dbf782a09f9233 virtionet: convert to SKB paged frag API. 4a22c4c919c201c2a7f4ee09e672435a3072d875 sfc: convert to SKB paged frag API. 18324d690d6a5028e3c174fc1921447aedead2b8 cassini: convert to SKB paged frag API. b061b39e3ae18ad75466258cf2116e18fa5bbd80 benet: convert to SKB paged frag API. b7b6a688d217936459ff5cf1087b2361db952509 bnx2: convert to SKB paged frag API. 804cf14ea5ceca46554d5801e2817bba8116b7e5 net: xfrm: convert to SKB frag APIs ea2ab69379a941c6f8884e290fdd28c93936a778 net: convert core to skb paged frag APIs Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-19net: Move rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many to netdev_run_todo.Eric W. Biederman
This patch moves the rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many (inside the rtnl_lock) into netdev_run_todo (just outside the rtnl_lock). This allows us to gain the full benefit of sychronize_net calling synchronize_rcu_expedited when the rtnl_lock is held. The rcu_barrier in rollback_registered_many was originally a synchronize_net but was promoted to be a rcu_barrier() when it was found that people were unnecessarily hitting the 250ms wait in netdev_wait_allrefs(). Changing the rcu_barrier back to a synchronize_net is therefore safe. Since we only care about waiting for the rcu callbacks before we get to netdev_wait_allrefs() it is also safe to move the wait into netdev_run_todo. This was tested by creating and destroying 1000 tap devices and observing /proc/lock_stat. /proc/lock_stat reports this change reduces the hold times of the rtnl_lock by a factor of 10. There was no observable difference in the amount of time it takes to destroy a network device. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We do this by splitting the eligibility check from the skb reset, creating two inline functions to accomplish that task.

2011-10-18ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problemSteffen Klassert
ip6_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path). On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr handling to this.

2011-10-18net: allow vlan traffic to be received under bondJohn Fastabend
The following configuration used to work as I expected. At least we could use the fcoe interfaces to do MPIO and the bond0 iface to do load balancing or failover. ---eth2.228-fcoe | eth2 -----| | |---- bond0 | eth3 -----| | ---eth3.228-fcoe This worked because of a change we added to allow inactive slaves to rx 'exact' matches. This functionality was kept intact with the rx_handler mechanism. However now the vlan interface attached to the active slave never receives traffic because the bonding rx_handler updates the skb->dev and goto's another_round. Previously, the vlan_do_receive() logic was called before the bonding rx_handler. Now by the time vlan_do_receive calls vlan_find_dev() the skb->dev is set to bond0 and it is clear no vlan is attached to this iface. The vlan lookup fails. This patch moves the VLAN check above the rx_handler. A VLAN tagged frame is now routed to the eth2.228-fcoe iface in the above schematic. Untagged frames continue to the bond0 as normal. This case also remains intact, eth2 --> bond0 --> vlan.228 Here the skb is VLAN tagged but the vlan lookup fails on eth2 causing the bonding rx_handler to be called. On the second pass the vlan lookup is on the bond0 iface and completes as expected. Putting a VLAN.228 on both the bond0 and eth2 device will result in eth2.228 receiving the skb. I don't think this is completely unexpected and was the result prior to the rx_handler result. Note, the same setup is also used for other storage traffic that MPIO is used with eg. iSCSI and similar setups can be contrived without storage protocols.

2011-10-13net: more accurate skb truesizeEric Dumazet
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head. kmalloc() roundings are also ignored. Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to take it into account for better memory accounting. This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various assumptions into a single place. At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks. Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are aligned to cache lines, as before. Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a more accurate memory accounting.

2011-10-11mac80211: dont orphan TX skbJohannes Berg
This was another workaround for truesize "bugs". The reason we did this was that when we orphaned the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later. Now that the check is gone (and we just charge the former smaller size to the socket) there's no longer a reason to orphan the skb here. Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This helps flow control and allows us to get at the socket later for other purposes.

2011-10-06dcb: Use ifindex instead of ifnameMark Rustad
Use ifindex instead of ifname in the DCB app ring. This makes for a smaller data structure and faster comparisons. It also avoids possible issues when a net device is renamed.

2011-10-06bridge: allow forwarding some link local framesstephen hemminger
This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements, and compatibility with earlier releases. It adds a new sysfs attribute /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility. One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards. I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default. The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

2011-10-06bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridgestephen hemminger
This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging. Some users use the bridge like a dummy device. They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing this, there is no reason to not allow it. Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the bridge if there are any added.
