2009-05-27tcp: Do not check flush when comparing options for GROHerbert Xu
There is no need to repeatedly check flush when comparing TCP options for GRO as it will be false 99% of the time where it matters. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Store shinfo in local variable in skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu
This patch stores the two shinfo pointers in local variables because they're used over and over again in skb_gro_receive. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Nasty optimisations for page frags in skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu
This patch reverses the direction of the frags array copy in skb_gro_receive in order simplify the loop conditional. It also avoids touching the first element of the original frags array. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Open-code final pskb_may_pullHerbert Xu
As we know the only packets which need the final pskb_may_pull are completely non-linear, and have all the required bits in frag0, we can perform a straight memcpy instead of going through pskb_may_pull and doing skb_copy_bits.

2009-05-27ipv4: Use 32-bit loads for ID and length in GROHerbert Xu
This patch optimises the IPv4 GRO code by using 32-bit loads (instead of 16-bit ones) on the ID and length checks in the receive function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Avoid unnecessary comparison after skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu
For the overwhelming majority of cases, skb_gro_header's return value cannot be NULL. Yet we must check it because of its current form. This patch splits it up into multiple functions in order to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Optimise length comparison in skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu
By caching frag0_len, we can avoid checking both frag0 and the length separately in skb_gro_header. This helps as skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which amounts to a few million times at 10Gb/s. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27tcp: Optimise len/mss comparisonHerbert Xu
Instead of checking len > mss || len == 0, we can accomplish both by checking (len - 1) > mss using the unsigned wraparound. At nearly a million times a second, this might just help. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27tcp: Remove unnecessary window comparisons for GROHerbert Xu
The window has already been checked as part of the flag word so there is no need to check it explicitly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27tcp: Optimise GRO port comparisonsHerbert Xu
Instead of doing two 16-bit operations for the source/destination ports, we can do one 32-bit operation to take care both. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Only use skb_gro_header for completely non-linear packetsHerbert Xu
Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets, we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0 optimisation for completely non-linear packets. In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen) to see whether the optimisation is in force. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Localise offset/headlen in skb_gro_offsetHerbert Xu
This patch stores the offset/headlen in local variables as they're used repeatedly in skb_gro_offset. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-27gro: Inline skb_gro_header and cache frag0 virtual addressHerbert Xu
The function skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which quickly adds up at 10Gb/s. This patch inlines it to allow better optimisations. Some architectures perform multiplication for page_address, which is done by each skb_gro_header invocation. This patch caches that value in skb->cb to avoid the unnecessary multiplications.

2009-05-27gro: Open-code frags copy in skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu
gcc does a poor job at generating code for the memcpy of the frags array in skb_gro_receive, which is the primary purpose of that function when merging frags. In particular, it can't utilise the alignment information of the source and destination. This patch open-codes the copy so we process words instead of bytes.

2009-05-26net: Remove bogus reference to BUS_ID_SIZE in sysfs code.David S. Miller
BUS_ID_SIZE is really no more, and device names are dynamically allocated and thus can be any necessary size. So remove the BUG check here making sure BUS_ID_SIZE is at least as large as IFNAMSIZ. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-25net: txq_trans_update() helperEric Dumazet
We would like to get rid of netdev->trans_start = jiffies; that about all net drivers have to use in their start_xmit() function, and use txq->trans_start instead. This can be done generically in core network, as suggested by David. Some devices, (particularly loopback) dont need trans_start update, because they dont have transmit watchdog. We could add a new device flag, or rely on fact that txq->tran_start can be updated is txq->xmit_lock_owner is different than -1. Use a helper function to hide our choice.

2009-05-25skbuff: Move new code into __copy_skb_headerHerbert Xu
Hi: skbuff: Move new __skb_clone code into __copy_skb_header It seems that people just keep on adding stuff to __skb_clone instead __copy_skb_header. This is wrong as it means your brand-new attributes won't always get copied as you intended. This patch moves them to the right place, and adds a comment to prevent this from happening again.

2009-05-22wireless: move some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211Zhu Yi
The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211. Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they are not mac80211 specific.

2009-05-22mac80211: fix probe response wait timingJohannes Berg
In "mac80211: split out and decrease probe wait time" I tried to reduce the time waiting for a probe response, but failed to take into account the case where we are detecting beacon loss in software -- in that case we still wait the monitoring time rather than the probe wait time.

2009-05-22wext: remove atomic requirement for wireless statsJohannes Berg
The requirement for wireless stats to be atomic is now mostly artificial since we hold the rtnl _and_ the dev_base_lock for iterating the device list. Doing that is not required, just the rtnl is sufficient (and the rtnl is required for other reasons outlined in commit "wext: fix get_wireless_stats locking"). This will fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13344 and make things easier for drivers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-21dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpacketsNeil Horman
Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch. Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is polled. The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.

2009-05-21af_packet: Teach to listen for multiple unicast addresses.Eric W. Biederman
The the PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and the PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP setsockopt calls for af_packet already has all of the infrastructure needed to subscribe to multiple mac addresses. All that is missing is a flag to say that the address we want to listen on is a unicast address. So introduce PACKET_MR_UNICAST and wire it up to dev_unicast_add and dev_unicast_delete. Additionally I noticed that errors from dev_mc_add were not propagated from packet_dev_mc so fix that. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-20IPv6: set RTPROT_KERNEL to initial routeJean-Mickael Guerin
