cxgb3 interface has a bad performance when VLAN is set. On my current setup, a PowerLinux 7R2, I am able to get around 7 Gbps on a TCP_STREAM (8 instances, 4k message). With this patch, I am able to reach 9.5 Gbps. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <brenohl@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The Ethernet II wrapper is only used by IPX protocol, may have once been used by Appletalk but not currently. Therefore it makes sense to move it to the IPX dust bin and drop the exports.

tcp_v4_send_reset() and tcp_v4_send_ack() use a single socket per network namespace. This leads to bad behavior on multiqueue NICS, because many cpus contend for the socket lock and once socket lock is acquired, extra false sharing on various socket fields slow down the operations. To better resist to attacks, we use a percpu socket. Each cpu can run without contention, using appropriate memory (local node) Additional features : 1) We also mirror the queue_mapping of the incoming skb, so that answers use the same queue if possible. 2) Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE socket flag speedup sock_wfree() 3) We now limit the number of in-flight RST/ACK [1] packets per cpu, instead of per namespace, and we honor the sysctl_wmem_default limit dynamically. (Prior to this patch, sysctl_wmem_default value was copied at boot time, so any further change would not affect tcp_sock limit) [1] These packets are only generated when no socket was matched for the incoming packet.

Use global seqlock for the nh_exceptions. Call fnhe_oldest with the right hash chain. Correct the diff value for dst_set_expires. v2: after suggestions from Eric Dumazet: * get rid of spin lock fnhe_lock, rearrange update_or_create_fnhe * continue daddr search in rt_bind_exception v3: * remove the daddr check before seqlock in rt_bind_exception * restart lookup in rt_bind_exception on detected seqlock change, as suggested by David Miller Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

Use RFS infrastructure and flow steering in HW to keep CPU affinity of rx interrupts and application per TCP stream. A flow steering filter is added to the HW whenever the RFS ndo callback is invoked by core networking code. Because the invocation takes place in interrupt context, the actual setup of HW is done using workqueue. Whenever new filter is added, the driver checks for expiry of existing filters. Since there's window in time between the point where the core RFS code invoked the ndo callback, to the point where the HW is configured from the workqueue context, the 2nd, 3rd etc packets from that stream will cause the net core to invoke the callback again and again. To prevent inefficient/double configuration of the HW, the filters are kept in a database which is indexed using hash function to enable fast access.

All of our hardware supports RSS even if it is only for a single queue.

This change essentially makes it so that we can enable almost all of the features all at once. This patch allows for the combination of SR-IOV, DCB, and FCoE in the case of the x540. It also beefs up the SR-IOV by adding support for RSS to the PF. The testing matrix gets to be very complex for this patch as there are a number of different features and subsets for queueing options. I tried to narrow these down a bit by restricting the PF to only supporting 4TC DCB when it is enabled in addition to SR-IOV.

This change allows all pools from the default pool forward to be enabled vi ixgbe_configure_virtualization. This is needed as we are planning to use queues belonging to adjacent pools for FCoE when SR-IOV and FCoE are both enabled. In addition this patch contains some minor formatting changes as there were a few spots that seemed to be in need of some cleanup.

In ixgbevf_get_ringparam we could run into a NULL pointer dereference if the rings were not allocated when we attempted the call. To prevent that we can just access the tx/rx_ring_count values instead of attempting to access the rings to get the count. This change corrects a memory leak and memory corruption in ixgbevf_set_ringparam. The memory leak was due to us not freeing the resources from the ring before overwriting them. This change corrects the memory leak by making certain to call ixgbe_free_tx/rx_resources on the rings prior to freeing them. The memory corruption was because we were replacing the rings but not updating the q_vectors. It addresses the memory corruption by leaving the rings in place and instead just copying the contents of the new rings into the existing rings.

We have had an issue when using ixgbe+ixgbevf and 802.1 VLAN tagging. When attaching a VLAN to a VF, frames with a 802.1q priority appeared untagged on the VF hence not reaching the VLAN, where frames with priority 0 where tagged as expected and seen by the VLAN device. This seems due to the way ixgbevf is looking up the full tag (prio+cfi+vlan) against the adapter active_vlans, as a condition to mark the skb tagged.

Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version. Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor, to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other users of flow dissector) Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them. Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32(). Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well. As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Andrew McGregor <andrewmcgr@gmail.com> Cc: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Drivers should pull only ethernet header from page frag to skb->head. Pulling 64 bytes is too much for TCP (without options) on IPv4.

The usbnet API use the device ID table to store a pointer to a minidriver. Setting a generic pointer for dynamic device IDs will in most cases make them work as expected. usbnet will otherwise treat the dynamic IDs as blacklisted. That is rarely useful. There is no standard class describing devices supported by this driver, and most vendors don't even provide enough information to allow vendor specific wildcard matching. The result is that most of the supported devices must be explicitly listed in the device table. Allowing dynamic IDs to work both simplifies testing and verification of new devices, and provides a way for end users to use a device before the ID is added to the driver.
