This patch makes it so that we can support transmit packet steering without sysfs needing to be enabled. The reason for making this change is to make it so that a driver can make use of the XPS even while the sysfs portion of the interface is not present.

This change is meant to address several issues I found within the netif_set_xps_queues function. If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue. To address that I split the process into several steps. The first of which is just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to store the queue. By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually altering the contents of the current device map. The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new device map even if we were not adding any queues. I have updated the code so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues, otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the removal process. The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove the queue from the CPU. By making this change we can be consistent in how we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few items I noticed. First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. Since there is no need to have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in netif_set_xps_queue. The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset. This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps value is set. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

This change splits the core bits of netdev_pick_tx into a separate function.

In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100. This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher, and some actions can consume a lot of cycles. This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to : - A time limit of 2 ms. - need_resched() being set on current task When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs. Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls, as we can keep BH disabled for too long. I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order of magnitude) : In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in background, using all available cpus. Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC IRQ (hard+soft) Before patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=550110.424 MIN_LATENCY=146858 MAX_LATENCY=997109 P50_LATENCY=305000 P90_LATENCY=550000 P99_LATENCY=710000 MEAN_LATENCY=376989.12 STDDEV_LATENCY=184046.92 After patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=40545.492 MIN_LATENCY=9834 MAX_LATENCY=78366 P50_LATENCY=33583 P90_LATENCY=59000 P99_LATENCY=69000 MEAN_LATENCY=38364.67 STDDEV_LATENCY=12865.26 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire. Headers are only accounted for the first segment. For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing, an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value. As consequences : 1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits. 2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well. Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len computation. Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch skb->cb[] first word. Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca (net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

Recent commit (commit 7e3a2dc5 doc: make the description of how tcp_ecn works more explicit and clear ) clarified the behavior of tcp_ecn sysctl variable but description is inconsistent. When requested by incoming conections, ECN is enabled with not just tcp_ecn = 2 but also with tcp_ecn = 1. This patch makes it clear that with tcp_ecn = 1, ECN is enabled when requested by incoming connections. Also fix spelling of 'incoming'.

Static checkers complained that the E1H_FUNC_MAX define is used incorrectly in bnx2x_pretend_func(). The complaint was justified, although its not a real bug, as the first part of the conditional protects us in this case (a real bug would happen if a VF tried to use the pretend func, but there are no VFs in E1H chips).

BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets. In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to the decision or writing a new driver: 1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44) 2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one 3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC 4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1) 5) Many registers have different addresses/values 6) RX header flags are also different The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course place for improvements: 1) Supporting more net_device_ops 2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops 3) Unaligned addressing in DMA 4) Writing separated PHY driver Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We have skb_mac_header_was_set() helper to tell if mac_header was set on a skb. We would like the same for transport_header. __netif_receive_skb() doesn't reset the transport header if already set by GRO layer. Note that network stacks usually reset the transport header anyway, after pulling the network header, so this change only allows a followup patch to have more precise qdisc pkt_len computation for GSO packets at ingress side.

Paul Gortmaker says: ==================== I'd like to propose that we get rid of these old 8390 EISA drivers. Of the five deleted here, I wrote four -- and while that doesn't give me any authority for deletion above anyone else, it does at least allow me to comment on the absolute absence of anyone reaching out to the driver author for assistance in the last dozen years. Eventually we'll probably get rid of EISA bus support, since in x86, the hardware is close to 20 years old and already too resource constrained to be useful today. However there might still be a few DEC Alpha enthusiasts with old EISA machines kept alive, and so I expect we'll have to wait a bit longer to get unanimous agreement to proceed with the full EISA removal (although I'd love to be proven wrong on that). Most of the DEC Alpha machines shipped in a PCI configuration, and even the few that were EISA had DEC tulip based ethernet and no reason to be needing the inferior 8390 technology. So the interest here for any possible DEC enthusiasts with EISA boxes about these old 8390 drivers should be nil. These really were rare cards -- in fact the smc-ultra32 is the only one that I'd ever seen in person. Even back in the mid 90's when the drivers were written, I would guess that the user base was less than 10 people across all of them. The following patch was created with --irreversible-delete for ease of review (it skips showing the content of files that are deleted); however the complete patch can be pulled as per below. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
