Added to the following: - tipc_random - tipc_own_addr - tipc_max_ports - tipc_net_id - tipc_remote_management - handler_enabled The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline bouncing.

There is no real reason to check whether all letters in the given media name and network interface name are within the character set defined in tipc_alphabet array. Even if we eliminate the checking, the rest of checking conditions in tipc_enable_bearer() can ensure we do not enable an invalid or illegal bearer.

But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack() on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be busy looping. Time 2 on CPU0: netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg() At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants to hold tipc_net_lock. At the moment, below scenario happens: On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks: lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock) On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like: lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock) Obviously deadlock may happen in this case. But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the first TIPC bearer is enabled. Before enable_bearer() -- running on CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e. recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen. To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should never occur.

This change updates the code related to configuring the transmit frame checksum. Specifically I have updated the code so that we can only skip inserting the checksum in the case that we are not performing some other offload that will modify the frame data.

This change moves the RSC code into the non-EOP descriptor handling function. The main motivation behind this change is to help reduce the overhead in the non-RSC case. Previously the non-RSC path code would always be checking for append count even if RSC had been disabled. Now this code is completely skipped in a single conditional check instead of having to make two separate checks.

This patch creates a function named ixgbe_fetch_rx_buffer. The sole purpose of this function is to retrieve a single buffer off of the ring and to place it in an skb. The advantage to doing this is that it helps improve the readability since I can decrease the indentation and for the code in this section.

This change makes it so that if only the first 256 bytes of a buffer are used we just copy the data out and leave the offset and page count unchanged. There are multiple advantages to this. First it allows us to reuse the page much more in the case of pages larger than 4K. It also allows us to avoid some expensive atomic operations in the form of get_page/put_page. In perf I have seen CPU utilization for put_page drop from 3.5% to 1.8% as a result of this patch when doing small packet routing, and packet rates increased by about 3%.

This change creates a separate function for functionality similar to pskb_pull_tail. The main motivation for moving it to a separate function is so that later I can just skip this function in the case where we have already copied the buffer into skb->head.

This patch makes it so that we will always have ownership of the buffers by the time we get to ixgbe_add_rx_frag. This is necessary as I am planning to add a copy-break to ixgbe_add_rx_frag and in order for that to function correctly we need the CPU to have ownership of the buffer.

This change makes it so that we do not use double buffering if the page size is larger than 4K. Instead we will simply walk through the page using up to 3K per receive, and if we receive less than we only move the offset by that amount. We will free the page when there is no longer any space left that we can use instead of checking the page count to see if we can cycle back to the start. The main motivation behind this is to avoid the unnecessary truesize cost for using a half page when most packets are 2K or smaller. With this new approach the largest possible truesize for a page fragment will be 3K when PAGE_SIZE is larger than 4K.

This change reverts an earlier patch that introduced ixgbe_init_rx_page_offset. The idea behind the function was to provide some variation in the starting offset for the page in order to reduce hot-spots in the cache. However it doesn't appear to provide any significant benefit in the testing I have done. It has however been a source of several bugs, and it blocks us from being able to use 2K fragments on larger page sizes. So the decision I made was to remove it.

It is mostly just minor fixes and cleanups, etc. Also included is a Bluetooth pull, with a lot of refactoring. Gustavo says: "These are the changes I queued for 3.7. There are a many small fixes/improvements by Andre Guedes. A l2cap channel refcounting refactor by Jaganath.
