As Michael point out, We used to limit the max pending DMAs to get better cache utilization. But it was not done correctly since it was one done when there's no new buffers submitted from guest. Guest can easily exceeds the limitation by keeping sending packets. So this patch moves the check into main loop. Tests shows about 5%-10% improvement on per cpu throughput for guest tx.

We used to poll vhost queue before making DMA is done, this is racy if vhost thread were waked up before marking DMA is done which can result the signal to be missed. Fix this by always polling the vhost thread before DMA is done. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, even if the packet length is smaller than VHOST_GOODCOPY_LEN, if upend_idx != done_idx we still set zcopy_used to true and rollback this choice later. This could be avoided by determining zerocopy once by checking all conditions at one time before. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Let vhost_add_used() to use vhost_add_used_n() to reduce the code duplication. To avoid the overhead brought by __copy_to_user(). We will use put_user() when one used need to be added. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We tend to batch the used adding and signaling in vhost_zerocopy_callback() which may result more than 100 used buffers to be updated in vhost_zerocopy_signal_used() in some cases. So switch to use vhost_add_used_and_signal_n() to avoid multiple calls to vhost_add_used_and_signal(). Which means much less times of used index updating and memory barriers. 2% performance improvement were seen on netperf TCP_RR test.

Fix the amount of sent bytes reported to BQL by reporting the number of bytes on wire in the xmit routine, and recording that value for each skb in order to be correctly confirmed on Tx confirmation cleanup. Reporting skb->len to BQL just before exiting xmit is not correct due to possible insertions of TOE block and alignment bytes in the skb->data, which are being stripped off by the controller before transmission on wire. This led to mismatch of (incorrectly) reported bytes to BQL b/w xmit and Tx confirmation, resulting in Tx timeout firing, for the h/w tx timestamping acceleration case. There's no easy way to obtain the number of bytes on wire in the Tx confirmation routine, so skb->cb is used to convey that information from xmit to Tx confirmation, for now (as proposed by Eric). Revived the currently unused GFAR_CB() construct for that purpose. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When my 'ifup eth' script was fired multiple times and ran concurrent on my laptop, for some obscure /etc scripting reason, it was revealed that the store_enabled() function in netconsole doesn't handle it nicely, as recorded by the Oops below (a syslog paste, but not mangled too much to prevent from discerning the traceback). On Linux 3.10.4, this patch seeks to remedy the problem, and it has been running stable on my laptop for a few days.

We're using it currently to verify if we have vlans before getting the tag from the skb we're about to send. It's useless because the vlan_get_tag() verifies if the skb has the tag (and returns an error if not), and we can receive tagged skbs only if we *already* have vlans. Plus, the current RCUed implementation is kind of useless anyway - the we can remove the last vlan in the moment we return from the function. So remove the only usage of it and the whole function.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept this batch of updates intended for the 3.12 stream. For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says this: "This time I have various improvements all over the place: IBSS, mesh, testmode, AP client powersave handling, one of the rare rfkill patches and some code cleanup." Also for mac80211: "And I also have some more changes for -next, just a few small fixes and improvements, nothing really stands out." And for iwlwifi: "This time I have some powersave work (notably uAPSD support), CQM offloads, support for a new firmware API and various code cleanups." Regarding the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "Patches to 3.12, here we have: * implementation of a proper tty_port for RFCOMM devices, this fixes some issues people were seeing lately in the kernel. * Add voice_setting option for SCO, it is used for SCO Codec selection * bugfixes, small improvements and clean ups" For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "With this one we have: - A few pn533 improvements and minor fixes. Testing our pn533 driver against Google's NCI stack triggered a few issues that we fixed now. We also added Tx fragmentation support to this driver. - More NFC secure element handling. We added a GET_SE netlink command for getting all the discovered secure elements, and we defined 2 additional secure element netlink event (transaction and connectivity). We also fixed a couple of typos and copy-paste bugs from the secure element handling code. - Firmware download support for the pn544 driver. This chipset can enter a special mode where it's waiting for firmware blobs to replace the already flashed one. We now support that mode." With repect to the ath tree, Kalle says: "New features in ath10k are rx/tx checsumming in hw and survey scan implemented by Michal. Also he made fixes to different areas of the driver, most notable being fixing the case when using two streams and reducing the number of interface combinations to avoid firmware crashes. Bartosz did a clean related to how we handle SoC power save in PCI layer. For ath6kl Mohammed and Vasanth sent each a patch to fix two infrequent crashes." I also pulled the wireless tree into wireless-next to support a request from Johannes. On top of all that, there are the usual sort of driver updates. The mwifiex, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, ath9k, and rt2x00 drivers all get some attention, as does the bcma bus and a few other random bits here and there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify() for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e., the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM virtio feature is available, the guest does not have to calculate the checksums on all received packets. This is pretty much the same feature as RX checksum offloading on real network cards, so the virtio-net driver should report this by setting the NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag. When the user now runs "ethtool -k", he or she can see whether the virtio-net interface has to calculate RX checksums or not.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== net: set addr_assign_type when inheriting a dev_addr Copying the dev_addr from a parent device is an operation common to a number of drivers. The addr_assign_type should be updated accordingly, either by reusing the value from the source device or explicitly indicating that the address is stolen by setting addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_STOLEN. This patch set adds a helper copying both the dev_addr and the addr_assign_type, and use this helper in drivers which don't currently set the addr_assign_type. Using NET_ADDR_STOLEN might be more appropriate in some of these cases. Please let me know, and I'll update the patch accordingly. Changes in v2: - assuming addr_len == ETH_ALEN to allow optimized memcpy - dropped the vt6656 patch due to addr_len being unset in that driver ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
