      net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators · 45203a3b
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
field can wrap at 34360Mbit.

Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.

This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :

TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64

Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
information.

Old tc command output, after patch :

eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
 Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal
performance on SMP.

      Peter Pan(潘卫平) authored 
      Since commit 1a37e412(net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct
skbuff), skb->*_header are relative to skb->head,
so copy_skb_header() should not call skb_headers_offset_update() now,
and we should pass correct parameter to skb_headers_offset_update() in
pskb_expand_head() and skb_copy_expand().

      netlink: Add compare function for netlink_table · da12c90e
      Gao feng authored 
      As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of
net namespace, they can communicate with each other
only when they in the same net namespace. this works
well until we try to add namespace support for other
subsystems which use netlink.

Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to
make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as
audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to
user namespace.

So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets
in same user namespace can communicate with each other.

This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for
netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can
communicate with each other through this netlink_table
self-defined compare function.

The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare
function for netlink_table.

      David S. Miller authored 
      Vlad Yasevich says:

====================
The following series adds 2 new flags to bridge.  One flag allows
the user to control whether mac learning is performed on the interface
or not.  By default mac learning is on.
The other flag allows the user to control whether unicast traffic
is flooded (send without an fdb) to a given unicast port.  Default is
on.

Changes since v4:
 - Implemented Stephen's suggestions.

Changes since v2:
 - removed unused "unlock" tag.

Changes since v1:
 - Integrated suggestion from MST to not impact RTM_NEWNEIGH and to
   skip lookups when learning is disabled.

Vlad Yasevich (2):
  bridge: Add flag to control mac learning.

      net: remove last caller of skb_tail_offset() and itself · 30f3a40f

      Similar to the following commits:

commit 00f97da1 (netpoll: fix position of network header)
commit 525cebed (pktgen: Fix position of ip and udp header)

using skb_tail_offset() seems not correct since the offset
is based on head pointer.

With the last caller removed, skb_tail_offset() can be killed
finally.

      Merge branch 'll_poll' · 0a4db187
      David S. Miller authored 
      Eliezer Tamir says:

====================
This patch set adds the ability for the socket layer code to
poll directly on an Ethernet device's RX queue.
This eliminates the cost of the interrupt and context switch
and with proper tuning allows us to get very close to the HW latency.

This is a follow up to Jesse Brandeburg's Kernel Plumbers talk from
last year
http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2012/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2012-lpc-Low-Latency-Sockets-slides-brandeburg.pdf

Patch 1 adds a napi_id and a hashing mechanism to lookup a napi by id.
Patch 2 adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it.
Patch 3 adds support for busy-polling on UDP sockets.
Patch 4 adds support for TCP.
Patch 5 adds the ixgbe driver code implementing ndo_ll_poll.
Patch 6 adds additional statistics to the ixgbe driver for ndo_ll_poll.

Test setup details:
Machines: each with two Intel Xeon 2680 CPUs and X520 (82599) optical
NICs
Tests: Netperf tcp_rr and udp_rr, 1 byte (round trips per second)
Kernel: unmodified 3.9 and patched 3.9
Config: typical is derived from RH6.2, optimized is a stripped down
config.
Interrupt coalescing (ethtool rx-usecs) settings: 0=off, 1=adaptive,
100 us
When C3/6 states were turned on (via BIOS) the performance governor
was used.

These performance numbers were measured with v2 of the patch set.
Performance of the optimized config with an rx-usecs setting of 100
(the first line in the table above) was tracked during the evolution
of the patches and has never varied by more than 1%.

Design:
A global hash table that allows us to look up a struct napi by a
unique id was added.

A napi_id field was added both to struct sk_buff and struct sk.
This is used to track which NAPI we need to poll for a specific
socket.

The device driver marks every incoming skb with this id.
This is propagated to the sk when the socket is looked up in the
protocol handler.

When the socket code does not find any more data on the socket queue,
it now may call ndo_ll_poll which will crank the device's rx queue and
feed incoming packets to the stack directly from the context of the
socket.

A sysctl value (net.core4.low_latency_poll) controls how many
microseconds we busy-wait before giving up. (setting to 0 globally
disables busy-polling)

Locking:

1. Locking between napi poll and ndo_ll_poll:
Since what needs to be locked between a device's NAPI poll and
ndo_ll_poll, is highly device / configuration dependent, we do this
inside the Ethernet driver.
For example, when packets for high priority connections are sent to
separate rx queues, you might not need locking between napi poll and
ndo_ll_poll at all.

For ixgbe we only lock the RX queue.
ndo_ll_poll does not touch the interrupt state or the TX queues.
(earlier versions of this patchset did touch them,
but this design is simpler and works better.)

If a queue is actively polled by a socket (on another CPU) napi poll
will not service it, but will wait until the queue can be locked
and cleaned before doing a napi_complete().
If a socket can't lock the queue because another CPU has it,
either from napi or from another socket polling on the queue,
the socket code can busy wait on the socket's skb queue.

Ndo_ll_poll does not have preferential treatment for the data from the
calling socket vs. data from others, so if another CPU is polling,
you will see your data on this socket's queue when it arrives.

Ndo_ll_poll is called with local BHs disabled, so it won't race on
the same CPU with net_rx_action, which calls the napi poll method.

2. Napi_hash
The napi hash mechanism uses RCU.
napi_by_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock().
After a call to napi_hash_del(), caller must take care to wait an rcu
grace period before freeing the memory containing the napi struct.
(Ixgbe already had this because the queue vector structure uses rcu to
protect the statistics counters in it.)

how to test:

1. The patchset should apply cleanly to net-next.
(don't forget to configure INET_LL_RX_POLL).

2. The ethtool -c setting for rx-usecs should be on the order of 100.

3. Use ethtool -K to disable GRO and LRO
(You are encouraged to try it both ways. If you find that your
workload
does better with GRO on do tell us.)

4. Sysctl value net.core.low_latency_poll controls how long
(in us) to busy-wait for more data, You are encouraged to play
with this and see what works for you. The default is now 0 so you need
to
set it to turn the feature on. I recommend a value around 50.

4. benchmark thread and IRQ should be bound to separate cores.
Both cores should be on the same CPU NUMA node as the NIC.
When the app and the IRQ run on the same CPU  you get a small penalty.
If interrupt coalescing is set to a low value this penalty can be very
large.

5. If you suspect that your machine is not configured properly,
use numademo to make sure that the CPU to memory BW is OK.
numademo 128m memcpy local copy numbers should be more than
8GB/s on a properly configured machine.

Change log:
v10
- removed select/poll support. (we will work on this some more and try again)
v9
- correct sysctl proc_handler, reported by Eric Dumazet and Amir Vadai.
- more int -> bool changes, reported by Eric Dumazet.
- better mask testing in sock_poll(), reported by Eric Dumazet.

v8
- split out udp and select/poll into separate patches.
  what used to be patch 2/5 is now three patches.
- type corrections from Amir Vadai and Cong Wang:
  one unsigned long that was left when changing to cycles_t
  int -> bool
- more detailed patch descriptions.

v7
- suggested by Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet:
  type fixes, static for globals in net/core.c,
  avoid napi_id collisions in napi_hash_add()

v6
- many small fixes suggested by Eric Dumazet:
  data locality, typos, documentation
  protect napi_hash insert/delete with a spinlock (napi_gen_id is no
  longer atomic_t since it's only accessed with the spinlock held.)
- added IPv6 TCP and UDP support (only minimally tested)

v5
- corrections suggested by Ben Hutchings:
  fixed typos, moved the config option and sysctl value from IPv4 to net
- moved sk_mark_ll() to the protocol handlers
- removed global id mechanism, replaced with a hashed napi_id.
  based on code sample from Eric Dumazet
  Note that ixgbe_free_q_vector() already waits an rcu grace period
  before freeing the q_vector, so nothing additional needs to be done
  when adding a call to napi_hash_del().
- simple poll/select support

v4
- removed separate config option for TCP as suggested Eric Dumazet.
- added linux mib counter for packets received through the low latency path,
  as suggested by Andi Kleen.
- re-allow module unloading, remove module param, use a global generation id
  instead to prevent the use of a stale napi pointer, as suggested
  by Eric Dumazet
- updated Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt text

v3
- coding style changes suggested by Dave Miller

v2
- the sysctl knob is now in microseconds. The default value is now 0 (off).
- for now the code depends at configure time on CONFIG_I86_TSC
- the napi reference in struct skb is now a union with the dma cookie
  since the former is only used on RX and the latter on TX,
  as suggested by Eric Dumazet.
- we do a better job at honoring non-blocking operations.
- removed busy-polling support for tcp_read_sock()
- remove dynamic disabling of GRO
- coding style fixes
- disallow unloading the device module after the feature has been used
