Forward port commit fc477e160af086f6e30c3d4fdf5f5c000d29beb5 from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git Origional commit message: Allow retransmission of cloned buffers This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs. Originally intended as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a set of bonded interfaces. This fix removes existing checks for cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.

Forward port commit 29eb572941501c40ac6e62dbc5043bf9ee76ee56 from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git Origional commit message: Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every message sent, rather than after every 10 messages. This change helps to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working, but not yet recognized as failed. Tested by myself in the latest net-2.6 tree using the tipc sanity test suite Origionally-signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> bcast.c | 35 ++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: David S.

`ip -s link` shows interface counters truncated to 32 bit. This is because interface statistics are transported only in 32-bit quantity to userspace. This commit adds a new IFLA_STATS64 attribute that exports them in full 64 bit.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs. Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores. This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support. Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis (e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps. Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when steering it to a remote CPU. The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable /sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0). Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization. e1000e on 8 core Intel Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU forcedeth on 16 core AMD Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU bnx2x on 16 core AMD Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues) With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues) Caveats: - The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy. Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary. - This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation. We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this. - The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's probably best not change the masks too frequently.

set_page_dirty() unconditionally re-enables interrupts, so if we call it with irqs off, they will be on after the call, and that's bad. This patch moves the call after we've re-enabled interrupts in send_drop_to(), so it's safe. Also, add BUG_ONs to let us know if we ever do call set_page_dirty with interrupts off.

rds_poll_waitq's listeners will be awoken if we receive a congestion notification. Bad performance may result because *all* polled sockets contend for this single lock. However, it should not be necessary to wake pollers when a congestion update arrives if they have never experienced congestion, and not putting these on the waitq will hopefully greatly reduce contention.

It seems rds_send_drop_to() called __rds_rdma_send_complete(rs, rm, RDS_RDMA_CANCELED) with only rds_sock lock, but not rds_message lock. It raced with other threads that is attempting to modify the rds_message as well, such as from within rds_rdma_send_complete().

if a machine is shut down without closing sockets properly, and freeing all MRs, then a BUG_ON will bring it down. This patch changes these to WARN_ONs -- leaking MRs is not fatal (although not ideal, and there is more work to do here for a proper fix.)

We have two kinds of loopback: software (via loop transport) and hardware (via IB). sw is used for 127.0.0.1, and doesn't support rdma ops. hw is used for sends to local device IPs, and supports rdma. Both are used in different cases. For both of these, when there is a congestion map update, we want to call rds_cong_map_updated() but not actually send anything -- since loopback local and foreign congestion maps point to the same spot, they're already in sync. The old code never called sw loop's xmit_cong_map(),so rds_cong_map_updated() wasn't being called for it. sw loop ports would not work right with the congestion monitor. Fixing that meant that hw loopback now would send congestion maps to itself. This is also undesirable (racy), so we check for this case in the ib-specific xmit code.

Without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING, BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->mrouters_only is not appropriately initialized, so we can see garbage. A clear option to fix this is to set it even without that config, but we cannot optimize out the branch. Let's introduce a macro that returns value of mrouters_only and let it return 0 without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Its a straightforward inversion, tipc_ref_acquire takes two locks in this order: ref_table_lock entry->lock while tipc_deleteport takes them in this order: entry->lock (via tipc_port_lock()) ref_table_lock (via tipc_ref_discard()) when the same entry is referenced, we get the above warning. The fix is equally straightforward. Theres no real relation between the entry->lock and the ref_table_lock (they just are needed at the same time), so move the entry->lock aquisition in tipc_ref_acquire down, after we unlock ref_table_lock (this is safe since the ref_table_lock guards changes to the reference table, and we've already claimed a slot there. I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it clears up the lockdep issue Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fixes UDP socket refcnt bugs in the pppol2tp driver. A bug can cause a kernel stack trace when a tunnel socket is closed. A way to reproduce the issue is to prepare the UDP socket for L2TP (by opening a tunnel pppol2tp socket) and then close it before any L2TP sessions are added to it. The sequence is Create UDP socket Create tunnel pppol2tp socket to prepare UDP socket for L2TP pppol2tp_connect: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0 L2TP SCCRP control frame received (tunnel_id==0) pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold() pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put L2TP ZLB control frame received (tunnel_id=nnn) pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold() pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put Close tunnel management socket pppol2tp_release: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0 Close UDP socket udp_lib_close: BUG The addition of sock_hold() in pppol2tp_connect() solves the problem. For data frames, two sock_put() calls were added to plug a refcnt leak per received data frame. The ref that is grabbed at the top of pppol2tp_recv_core() must always be released, but this wasn't done for accepted data frames or data frames discarded because of bad UDP checksums. This leak meant that any UDP socket that had passed L2TP data traffic (i.e. L2TP data frames, not just L2TP control frames) using pppol2tp would not be released by the kernel.

When transmitting L2TP frames, we derive the outgoing interface's UDP checksum hardware assist capabilities from the tunnel dst dev. This can sometimes be NULL, especially when routing protocols are used and routing changes occur. This patch just checks for NULL dst or dev pointers when checking for netdev hardware assist features.

From: Michael Braun <michael-dev@fami-braun.de> bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to a non-null value). Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev (as set in br_handle_frame_finish first) only holds until br_forward is called. The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails. Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit b33084be ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33. I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

Since all callers of br_mdb_ip_get need to check whether the hash table is NULL, this patch moves the check into the function. This fixes the two callers (query/leave handler) that didn't check it.

dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll: if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented from creating DCCP sockets. This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.
