Jason Baron says: ==================== macvlan: optimize receive path So after porting this optimization to net-next, I found that the netperf results of TCP_RR regress right at the maximum peak of transactions/sec. That is as I increase the number of threads via the first argument to super_netperf, the number of transactions/sec keep increasing, peak, and then start decreasing. It is right at the peak, that I see a small regression with this patch (see results in patch 2/2). Without the patch, the ksoftirqd threads are the top cpu consumers threads on the system, since the extra 'netif_rx()', is queuing more softirq work, whereas with the patch, the ksoftirqd threads are below all of the 'netserver' threads in terms of their cpu usage. So there appears to be some interaction between how softirqs are serviced at the peak here and this patch. I think the test results are still supportive of this approach, but I wanted to be clear on my findings. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The netif_rx() call on the fast path of macvlan_handle_frame() appears to be there to ensure that we properly throttle incoming packets. However, it would appear as though the proper throttling is already in place for all possible ingress paths, and that the call is redundant. If packets are arriving from the physical NIC, we've already throttled them by this point. Otherwise, if they are coming via macvlan_queue_xmit(), it calls either 'dev_forward_skb()', which ends up calling netif_rx_internal(), or else in the broadcast case, we are throttling via macvlan_broadcast_enqueue(). The test results below are from off the box to an lxc instance running macvlan. Once the tranactions/sec stop increasing, the cpu idle time has gone to 0. Results are from a quad core Intel E3-1270 V2@3.50GHz box with bnx2x 10G card. for i in {10,100,200,300,400,500}; do super_netperf $i -H $ip -t TCP_RR; done Average of 5 runs. trans/sec trans/sec (3.17-rc7-net-next) (3.17-rc7-net-next + this patch) ---------- ---------- 208101 211534 (+1.6%) 839493 850162 (+1.3%) 845071 844053 (-.12%) 816330 819623 (+.4%) 778700 789938 (+1.4%) 735984 754408 (+2.5%) Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Larry Finger corrects a possible unaligned access in the rtlwifi code. Marek Puzyniak avoids a kernel panic in ath9k_hw_reset. Sujith Manoharan goes for the hat trick -- he fixes a smatch warning in the shared ath code, he fixes a crash in ath9k, and he corrects a sequence number assignment problem in ath9k too.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
Restore the quota fairness between qdisc's, that we broke with commit 5772e9a3 ("qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE"). Before that commit, the quota in __qdisc_run() were in packets as dequeue_skb() would only dequeue a single packet, that assumption broke with bulk dequeue. We choose not to account for the number of packets inside the TSO/GSO packets (accessable via "skb_gso_segs"). As the previous fairness also had this "defect". Thus, GSO/TSO packets counts as a single packet. Further more, we choose to slack on accuracy, by allowing a bulk dequeue try_bulk_dequeue_skb() to exceed the "packets" limit, only limited by the BQL bytelimit. This is done because BQL prefers to get its full budget for appropriate feedback from TX completion. In future, we might consider reworking this further and, if it allows, switch to a time-based model, as suggested by Eric. Right now, we only restore old semantics. Joint work with Eric, Hannes, Daniel and Jesper. Hannes wrote the first patch in cooperation with Daniel and Jesper. Eric rewrote the patch.

Add 40G support for cxgb4vf driver. ethtool speed values are just numbers of megabits and there is no SPEED_40000 in ethtool speed values. To be consistent, use integer constants directly for all speeds. Use is_x_10g_port()("is 10Gb/s or higher") in cfg_queues() instead of is_10g_port() ("is exactly 10Gb/s").

Claudiu Manoil says: ==================== gianfar: ARM port driver updates (1/2) This is the first round of driver portability fixes and clean-up with the main purpose to make gianfar portable on ARM, for the ARM based SoC that integrates the eTSEC ethernet controller - "ls1021a". The patches primarily address compile time errors, when compiling gianfar on ARM. They replace PPC specific functions and macros with architecture independent ones, solve arch specific header inclusions, guard code that relates to PPC only, and even address some simple endianess issues (see MAC address setup patch). The patches addressing the bulk of remaining endianess issues, like handling DMA fields (BD and FCB), will follow with the second round. ==================== Reviewed-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.
