This change helps to reduce the overall size of the sk_buff by moving rxhash and vlan_tci so that the u16 values and u8 bitfields can be better combined to create only one hole instead of multiple.

This change combines a number of post-DMA Rx packet processing functions into a single function. The advantage of this is that it combines most of the Rx descriptor processing into one spot so it should all be warm in the cache.

It doesn't make much sense to differentiate between advanced and legacy descriptors when the only descriptors that ixgbe uses are advanced descriptors. As such we can drop the _ADV suffix since all ixgbe descriptors are automatically advanced.

This change makes it so that we always clear the status/error bits in the Rx descriptor in the allocation path instead of the cleanup path. The advantage to this is that we spend less time modifying data. As such we can modify the data once and then let it go cold in the cache instead of writing it, reading it, and then writing it again.

This patch is meant to address the fact that RSC has not been setting the gso_size value on the skb. As a result performance on lossy TCP connections was negatively impacted. This change resolves the issue by setting gso_size to the average size for incoming packets.

This change addresses several issue. First I had left the use of the next and prev skb pointers floating around in the code and they were overdue to be pulled since I had rewritten the RSC code in the out-of-tree driver some time ago to address issues brought up by David Miller in regards to this. I am also now defaulting to always leaving the first buffer unmapped on any packet and then unmapping it after we read the EOP descriptor. This allows a simplification of the path with less branching. Instead of counting packets received the code was changed some time ago to track the number of buffers received. This leads to inaccurate counting when you compare numbers of packets received by the hardware versus what is tracked by the software. To correct this I am revising things so that the append_cnt value for RSC accurately tracks the number of frames received.

To send commands on the write channel 8 buffers exist. If all 8 buffers are used, a wait is triggered on the write channel. When such buffer are freed, a wake_up is needed.

This patch saves the net_device in the iucv_sock structure during bind in order to fasten skb sending. In addition some other small improvements are made for HS transport: - error checking when sending skbs - locking changes in afiucv_hs_callback_txnotify - skb freeing in afiucv_hs_callback_txnotify And finally it contains code cleanup to get rid of iucv_skb_queue_purge.

The IP_UNICAST_IF feature is needed by the Wine project. This patch implements the feature by setting the outgoing interface in a similar fashion to that of IP_MULTICAST_IF. A separate option is needed to handle this feature since the existing options do not provide all of the characteristics required by IP_UNICAST_IF, a summary is provided below. SO_BINDTODEVICE: * SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges, IP_UNICAST_IF does not. From reading some old mailing list articles my understanding is that SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges because it can override the administrator's routing settings. * The SO_BINDTODEVICE option restricts both outbound and inbound traffic, IP_UNICAST_IF only impacts outbound traffic. IP_PKTINFO: * Since IP_PKTINFO and IP_UNICAST_IF are independent options, implementing IP_UNICAST_IF with IP_PKTINFO will likely break some applications. * Implementing IP_UNICAST_IF on top of IP_PKTINFO significantly complicates the Wine codebase and reduces the socket performance (doing this requires a lot of extra communication between the "server" and "user" layers). bind(): * bind() does not work on broadcast packets, IP_UNICAST_IF is specifically intended to work with broadcast packets. * Like SO_BINDTODEVICE, bind() restricts both outbound and inbound traffic.

Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic. He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames. Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but taking into account hard_header_len. __napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet) to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.

Commit a0417fa3 ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb->cb between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit method. Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address (GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack. This allows IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix the L2 check for GRO. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received. Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or selectively. This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability project, available as part of Xen. This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications. This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree, used as dom0 for Xen. For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/ and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus Changes in V3: * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations. * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of the buffers in the queue.
