Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for memory accounting purposes. Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb is freed. When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give tx completion to initial cpu. David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do this, we could do it in upper level. There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can give a hardware or software timestamp. This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().

- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one packet processed... The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and net_rx_action() already has its own time limit. Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default value. - Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.

This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS). The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg (or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet, the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table, if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using the RPS mechanisms. The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets-- we consider this a non-starter. To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table. rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above. This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows. rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current" CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry. Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue, the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash entry of the rps_dev_flow_table. And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu) the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU if one of the following is true: - The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU) - Current CPU is offline - The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry. This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery. Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages: 1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2) this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from device napi_poll which is non-reentrant. This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets. It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols. There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The "rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry "rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two. The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the applications processing; this can result in increased performance (higher pps, lower latency). The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is much higher this technique seems to perform very well. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf. e1000e on 8 core Intel No RFS or RPS 104K tps at 30% CPU No RFS (best RPS config): 290K tps at 63% CPU RFS 303K tps at 61% CPU RPC test tps CPU% 50/90/99% usec latency Latency StdDev No RFS/RPS 103K 48% 757/900/3185 4472.35 RPS only: 174K 73% 415/993/2468 491.66 RFS 223K 73% 379/651/1382 315.61 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The patch to convert struct mfc_cache to list_heads (ipv4: ipmr: convert struct mfc_cache to struct list_head) introduced a bug when adding new cache entries that don't match any unresolved entries. The unres queue is searched for a matching entry, which is then resolved. When no matching entry is present, the iterator points to the head of the list, but is treated as a matching entry. Use a seperate variable to indicate that a matching entry was found. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Eric Paris reported netif_rx() is calling smp_processor_id() from preemptible context, in particular when caller is ip_dev_loopback_xmit(). RPS commit added this smp_processor_id() call, this patch makes sure preemption is disabled. rps_get_cpus() wants rcu_read_lock() anyway, we can dot it a bit earlier.

The ixgbe driver was setting up 82598 hardware correctly, so that when promiscuous mode was enabled hardware stripping was turned off. But on 82599 the logic to disable/enable hardware stripping is different, and the code was not updated correctly when the hardware vlan stripping was enabled as default. This change comprises the creation of two new helper functions and calling them from the right locations to disable and enable hardware stripping of vlan tags at appropriate times.

This patch fixes two warnings below after unplugging ar9271 usb device: -one is a kernel warning[1] -another is a lockdep warning[2] The root reason is that __skb_queue_purge can't be executed in hardirq context, so the patch forks ath9k_skb_queue_purge(ath9k version of _skb_queue_purge), which frees skb with dev_kfree_skb_any which can be run in hardirq context safely, then prevent the lockdep warning and kernel warning after unplugging ar9271 usb device.

We get RXORN interrupts when all receive buffers are full. This is not necessarily a fatal situation. It can also happen when the bus is busy or the CPU is not fast enough to process all frames. Older chipsets apparently need a reset to come out of this situration, but on newer chips we can treat RXORN like RX, as going thru a full reset does more harm than good, there. The exact chip revisions which need a reset are unknown - this guess AR5K_SREV_AR5212 ("venice") is copied from the HAL. Inspired by openwrt 413-rxorn.patch: "treat rxorn like rx, reset after rxorn seems to do more harm than good" Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

There was a confusion in the usage of the bits AR5K_STA_ID1_ACKCTS_6MB and AR5K_STA_ID1_BASE_RATE_11B. If they are set (1), we will get lower bitrates for ACK and CTS. Therefore ath5k_hw_set_ack_bitrate_high(ah, false) actually resulted in high bitrates, which i think is what we want anyways. Cleared the confusion and added some documentation.

The following situation was observed in the field: tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result tap1 can not be closed. This happens because tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely. As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing ownership if we're going into a hostile device. This patch implements the second approach. Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog, instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted. At least this is not user-triggerable, and this was not reported in practice, my assumption is other devices besides tap complete an skb within finite time after it has been queued. A possible solution for the second issue would not to have socket reference the device, instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and wait for all skbs to complete there, but this needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

The new enh_desc is used for selecting the enhanced descriptors structure. There are several scenarios; some chips (mac10/100 or gmac) want to use the enhanced descriptors; others want the normal ones. For example, on ST platforms: MAC10/100 uses the normal desc structure and the GMAC uses the enhanced one. It can be useful to get this information from the platform. This could also be decided at run-time looking at the chip's ID number; but it could happen that chips with the same ID want to use different descriptor structure.

Currently the driver assumes that the mac10/100 can only use the normal descriptor structure and the gmac can only use the enhanced structures.
