This never, ever, happens. Neighbour entries are always tied to one address family, and therefore one set of dst_ops, and therefore one dst_ops->protocol "hh_type" value. This capability was blindly imported by Alexey Kuznetsov when he wrote the neighbour layer. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

And mask the hash function result by simply shifting down the "->hash_shift" most significant bits. Currently which bits we use is arbitrary since jhash produces entropy evenly across the whole hash function result. But soon we'll be using universal hashing functions, and in those cases more entropy exists in the higher bits than the lower bits, because they use multiplies. Signed-off-by: David S.

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

Add a seqlock in struct neighbour to protect neigh->ha[], and avoid dirtying neighbour in stress situation (many different flows / dsts) Dirtying takes place because of read_lock(&n->lock) and n->used writes. Switching to a seqlock, and writing n->used only on jiffies changes permits less dirtying. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with the neigh rwlock write locked. Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour, so we find it and increment its refcount. This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in parallel by concurrent cpus. This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a (introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones, removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue enabled machines. Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic ops.

This is the second step for neighbour RCU conversion. (first was commit d6bf7817 : RCU conversion of neigh hash table) neigh_lookup() becomes lockless, but still take a reference on found neighbour. (no more read_lock()/read_unlock() on tbl->lock) struct neighbour gets an additional rcu_head field and is freed after an RCU grace period. Future work would need to eventually not take a reference on neighbour for temporary dst (DST_NOCACHE), but this would need dst->_neighbour to use a noref bit like we did for skb->_dst.

David This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code. Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU protected objects. Thanks [PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct neigh_table", a new structure is defined : struct neigh_hash_table { struct neighbour **hash_buckets; unsigned int hash_mask; __u32 hash_rnd; struct rcu_head rcu; }; And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a neigh_hash_table. This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not anymore a neigh_table field.

While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote address is configured a kernel Oops is observed. The obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer (neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *) = neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update; is executed. The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is the GRE interface. This patch guards against the possibility that header_ops is NULL. This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by counting the number of binary sysctls. This behaviour was silly and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting without also adding another binary sysctl.

Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact) As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table) Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly of hash table size. This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply. This also causes the transtion to FAILED state. However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the address is unavailable. Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection. This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

Currently it is possible to do just about everything with the arp table from user space except treat an entry like you are using it. To that end implement and a flag NTF_USE that when set in a netwlink update request treats the neighbour table entry like the kernel does on the output path. This allows user space applications to share the kernel's arp cache. Signed-off-by: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

When pneigh entries exist, but the user's read buffer isn't sufficient to hold them all, one of the pneigh entries will be missing from the results. In neigh_get_idx_any, the number of elements which neigh_get_idx encountered is not correctly subtracted from the position number before the call to pneigh_get_idx. neigh_get_idx reduces the position by 1 for each call to neigh_get_next, but it does not reduce it by one for the first element (neigh_get_first). The patch alters the neigh_get_idx and pneigh_get_idx functions to subtract one from pos, for the first element, when pos is non-zero.
