Make the ethernet frame payload word-aligned, possibly making the memcpy into the skb a bit faster. This will be even more important after we eliminate the copy altogether. Also eliminate the redundant RX_OFFSET constant -- it has the same definition and purpose as NET_IP_ALIGN.

Handle all TX errors, not only underruns. TX error management is deferred to a dedicated workqueue. Reinitialize the TX ring after treating all remaining frames, and restart the controller when everything has been cleaned up properly. Napi is not stopped during this task as the driver only handles napi for RX for now. With this sequence, we do not need a special check during the xmit method as the packets will be caught by TX disable during workqueue execution.

Instead of masking head and tail every time we increment them, just let them wrap through UINT_MAX and mask them when subscripting. Add simple accessor functions to do the subscripting properly to minimize the chances of messing this up. This makes the code slightly smaller, and hopefully faster as well. Also, doing the ring buffer management this way will simplify things a lot when making the ring sizes configurable in the future.

This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five reasons to do this are: 1. There are no more users of this code. 2. The original idea was a bit weak. 3. The original author has disappeared. 4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware, 5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.

This patch adds an ioctl for PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) devices that allows user space to measure the time offset between the PHC and the system clock. Rather than hard coding any kind of estimation algorithm into the kernel, this patch takes the more flexible approach of just delivering an array of raw clock readings. In that way, the user space clock servo may be adapted to new and different hardware clocks.

Where a PTP clock driver is associated with a net or PHY driver, it should be enabled automatically whenever that driver is enabled. Therefore: - Make PTP clock drivers select rather than depending on PTP_1588_CLOCK - Remove separate boolean options for PTP clock drivers that are built as part of net driver modules. (This also fixes cases where the PTP subsystem is wrongly forced to be built-in.) - Set 'default y' for PTP clock drivers that depend on specific net drivers but are built separately Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

PTP hardware clock drivers that select PTP_1588_CLOCK must currently also select PPS. For those drivers that don't, the user must enable PPS, then enable PTP_1588_CLOCK, then the driver.

The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to save full state of a socket. There are two issues with getting filter back. First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question is interconvertible. Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k). Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k) with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1. The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be large enough for the sock_fprog array. changes since v1: * Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers * Added decode of vlan-tag codes Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch implements a simple multiqueue flow steering policy - tx follows rx for tun/tap. The idea is simple, it just choose the txq based on which rxq it comes. The flow were identified through the rxhash of a skb, and the hash to queue mapping were recorded in a hlist with an ageing timer to retire the mapping. The mapping were created when tun receives packet from userspace, and was quired in .ndo_select_queue(). I run co-current TCP_CRR test and didn't see any mapping manipulation helpers in perf top, so the overhead could be negelected. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch converts tun/tap to a multiqueue devices and expose the multiqueue queues as multiple file descriptors to userspace. Internally, each tun_file were abstracted as a queue, and an array of pointers to tun_file structurs were stored in tun_structure device, so multiple tun_files were allowed to be attached to the device as multiple queues. When choosing txq, we first try to identify a flow through its rxhash, if it does not have such one, we could try recorded rxq and then use them to choose the transmit queue. This policy may be changed in the future. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

RCU were introduced in this patch to synchronize the dereferences between tun_struct and tun_file. All tun_{get|put} were replaced with RCU, the dereference from one to other must be done under rtnl lock or rcu read critical region. This is needed for the following patches since the one of the goal of multiqueue tuntap is to allow adding or removing queues during workload. Without RCU, control path would hold tx locks when adding or removing queues (which may cause sme delay) and it's hard to change the number of queues without stopping the net device. With the help of rcu, there's also no need for tun_file hold an refcnt to tun_struct. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Current tuntap makes use of the socket receive queue as its tx queue. To implement multiple tx queues for tuntap and enable the ability of adding and removing queues during workload, the first step is to move the socket related structures to tun_file. Then we could let multiple fds/sockets to be attached to the tuntap. This patch removes tun_sock and moves socket related structures from tun_sock or tun_struct to tun_file. Two exceptions are tap_filter and sock_fprog, they are still kept in tun_structure since they are used to filter packets for the net device instead of per transmit queue (at least I see no requirements for them). After those changes, socket were created and destroyed during file open and close (instead of device creation and destroy), the socket structures could be dereferenced from tun_file instead of the file of tun_struct structure itself. For persisent device, since we purge during datching and wouldn't queue any packets when no interface were attached, there's no behaviod changes before and after this patch, so the changes were transparent to the userspace. To keep the attributes such as sndbuf, socket filter and vnet header, those would be re-initialize after a new interface were attached to an persist device.

Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash, but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols, they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g., for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels, the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible, but devices do not. This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag. Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case: 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash With 200x TCP_RR it increases to 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has to take place after flow dissector.
