- instances_lock becomes a spinlock - lockless lookups While nfnetlink_log probably not performance critical, using less rwlocks in our code is always welcomed... Signed-off-by:

Converts queue_lock rwlock to a spinlock. (readlocked part can be changed by reads of integer values) One atomic operation instead of four per ipq_enqueue_packet() call. Signed-off-by:

NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked twice per packet, slowing down performance. This patch converts it to a per_cpu variable. Signed-off-by:

NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked twice per packet. This is bad for performance. __read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice. This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a per_cpu untrack structure more easily. A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to nf_conntrack_untracked. Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status. nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.

We currently dirty two cache lines in struct xt_rateest, this hurts SMP performance. This patch moves lock/bstats/rstats at beginning of structure so that they share a single cache line. Signed-off-by:

Using vmalloc_node(size, numa_node_id()) for temporary storage is not needed. vmalloc(size) is more respectful of user NUMA policy. Signed-off-by:

Today, there are no means to know which port of a hardware device a netdev interface uses. struct net_device conatins a field, dev_id, that can be used for that. Use this field to save the port number in ConnectX that is being used by the net device; port numbers are zero based. Signed-off-by:

Currently such notifications are only generated when the device comes up or the address changes. However one use case for these notifications is to enable faster network recovery after a virtual machine migration (by causing switches to relearn their MAC tables). A migration appears to the network stack as a temporary loss of carrier and therefore does not trigger either of the current conditions. Rather than adding carrier up as a trigger (which can cause issues when interfaces a flapping) simply add an interface which the driver can use to explicitly trigger the notification. Signed-off-by:

"phyinfo" can never be null here because we assigned it an address, so I removed both the assert and the second check inside the if statement. I removed the "phyinfo->phy_layer != NULL" check as well because that was asserted earlier. Walter Harms suggested I move the "phyinfo->phy_ref_count++;" outside the if condition for readability, so I have done that. Signed-off-by:

We already dereferenced uaddr towards the start of the function when we checked that "uaddr->sa_family != AF_CAIF". Both the check here and the earlier check were added in bece7b23: "caif: Rewritten socket implementation". Before that patch, we assumed that we recieved a valid pointer for uaddr, and based on that, I have removed this check. Signed-off-by:

netpoll does an interesting work in zap_completion_queue(), but this was before we did skb orphaning before delivering packets to device. It now makes sense to add a test in dev_kfree_skb_irq() to not queue a skb if already orphaned, and to remove netpoll zap_completion_queue() as a bonus. Signed-off-by:
