Inspired by commit f09e2249 (macvtap: restore vlan header on user read). This patch adds hardware vlan tx support for tuntap. This is done by copying vlan header directly into userspace in tun_put_user() instead of doing it through __vlan_put_tag() in dev_hard_start_xmit(). This eliminates one unnecessary memmove() in vlan_insert_tag() for 802.1ad and 802.1q traffic. pktgen test shows about 20% improvement for 802.1q traffic: Before: 662149pps 317Mb/sec (317831520bps) errors: 0 After: 801033pps 384Mb/sec (384495840bps) errors: 0 Cc: Basil Gor <basil.gor@gmail.com> Cc: Michael S.

For small packets we can simplify xmit processing by linearizing buffers with the header: most packets seem to have enough head room we can use for this purpose. Since existing hypervisors require that header is the first s/g element, we need a feature bit for this. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Idea of this patch is to add optional limitation of number of unsent bytes in TCP sockets, to reduce usage of kernel memory. TCP receiver might announce a big window, and TCP sender autotuning might allow a large amount of bytes in write queue, but this has little performance impact if a large part of this buffering is wasted : Write queue needs to be large only to deal with large BDP, not necessarily to cope with scheduling delays (incoming ACKS make room for the application to queue more bytes) For most workloads, using a value of 128 KB or less is OK to give applications enough time to react to POLLOUT events in time (or being awaken in a blocking sendmsg()) This patch adds two ways to set the limit : 1) Per socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT 2) A sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat) for sockets not using TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option (or setting a zero value) Default value being UINT_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF), meaning this has no effect. This changes poll()/select()/epoll() to report POLLOUT only if number of unsent bytes is below tp->nosent_lowat Note this might increase number of sendmsg()/sendfile() calls when using non blocking sockets, and increase number of context switches for blocking sockets. Note this is not related to SO_SNDLOWAT (as SO_SNDLOWAT is defined as : Specify the minimum number of bytes in the buffer until the socket layer will pass the data to the protocol) Tested: netperf sessions, and watching /proc/net/protocols "memory" column for TCP With 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_STREAM sessions, amount of kernel memory used by TCP buffers shrinks by ~55 % (20567 pages instead of 45458) lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 45458 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 45458 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y lpq83:~# echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# (super_netperf 200 -t TCP_STREAM -H remote -l 90 &); sleep 60 ; grep TCP /proc/net/protocols TCPv6 1880 2 20567 no 208 yes ipv6 y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y TCP 1696 508 20567 no 208 yes kernel y y y y y y y y y y y y y n y y y y y Using 128KB has no bad effect on the throughput or cpu usage of a single flow, although there is an increase of context switches. A bonus is that we hold socket lock for a shorter amount of time and should improve latencies of ACK processing. lpq83:~# echo -1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat lpq83:~# perf stat -e context-switches ./netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t omni -l 20 -c -i10,3 OMNI Send TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : +/-2.500% @ 99% conf.

The code to configure the permanent MAC in be_setup() has become quite complicated, with different FW cmds being used for BEx, SH-R and Lancer.

For BE3 VFs, the permanent MAC is added by its PF. The VF can retrieve its pmac_id only via the IFACE_CREATE cmd. This is not true for Lancer and SH-R VFs which get the pmac_id by issuing a ADD_IFACE_MAC cmd. So, use this hack only for BE3 VFs.

Until now, bond_resend_igmp_join_requests() looks for vlans attached to bonding device, bridge where bonding act as port manually. It does not care of other scenarios, like stacked bonds or team device above.

Add support to replace an existing entry found in the vxlan fdb database. The entry in question is identified by its unicast mac address and the destination information is changed. If the entry is not found, it is added in the forwarding database. This is similar to changing an entry in the neighbour table. Multicast mac addresses can not be changed with the replace option. This is useful for virtual machine migration when the destination of a target virtual machine changes. The replace feature can be used instead of delete followed by add.
