This patch is a partial reverse of: commit dfcc4615 Author: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Date: Thu Nov 8 07:07:08 2012 +0000 ixgbe: ethtool ixgbe_diag_test cleanup Specifically forcing the laser before the link check can lead to inconsistent results because it does not guarantee that the link will be negotiated correctly.

We were transversing the tx_ring with IXGBE_NUM_RX_QUEUES. Now this define happens to have the correct value but this is misleading and a change later could easily make this no longer true. I updated it to netdev->num_tx_queues like we use in ixgbe_get_strings().

This patch fixes an issue with the 82599 adapter where it can potentially keep link lights up when the adapter has gone down.

This function checks the upper bound but it doesn't check for negative numbers: if (txq > QLCNIC_MAX_TX_RINGS) { I've solved this by making "txq" a u32 type. I chose that because ->tx_count in the ethtool_channels struct is a __u32. This bug was added in aa4a1f7d ('qlcnic: Enable Tx queue changes using ethtool for 82xx Series adapter.').

Wei Liu says: ==================== xen-netback: switch to NAPI + kthread 1:1 model This series implements NAPI + kthread 1:1 model for Xen netback. This model - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver The second patch has the real meat: - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4 DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0. DomUs do netperf to Dom0 with following command: /root/netperf -H Dom0 -fm -l120 IRQs are distributed to 4 cores by hand in the new model, while in the old model vifs are automatically distributed to 4 kthreads. * New model %Cpu0 : 0.5 us, 20.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 24.4 si, 25.9 st %Cpu1 : 0.5 us, 17.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.8 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 27.7 si, 25.1 st %Cpu2 : 0.5 us, 18.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 22.9 si, 27.1 st %Cpu3 : 0.0 us, 20.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.4 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 22.7 si, 26.8 st Throughputs: 2027.89 2025.95 2018.57 2016.23 aggregated: 8088.64 * Old model %Cpu0 : 0.5 us, 68.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 16.1 id, 0.5 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.8 si, 11.5 st %Cpu1 : 0.4 us, 45.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 31.1 id, 0.4 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.1 si, 20.9 st %Cpu2 : 0.9 us, 44.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 30.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 1.3 si, 22.2 st %Cpu3 : 0.8 us, 46.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 28.3 id, 1.3 wa, 0.0 hi, 2.1 si, 21.1 st Throughputs: 1899.14 2280.43 1963.33 1893.47 aggregated: 8036.37 We can see that the impact is mainly on CPU usage.

This patch implements 1:1 model netback. NAPI and kthread are utilized to do the weight-lifting job: - NAPI is used for guest side TX (host side RX) - kthread is used for guest side RX (host side TX) Xenvif and xen_netbk are made into one structure to reduce code size. This model provides better scheduling fairness among vifs. It is also prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen netback.

The skb priority field may help the wireless driver to choose the right queue (e.g. WMM queues). This should be set in batman-adv, as this information is only available here. This patch adds support for IPv4/IPv6 DS fields and VLAN PCP. Note that only VLAN PCP is used if a VLAN header is present. Also initially set TC_PRIO_CONTROL only for self-generated packets, and keep the priority set by higher layers.

Jesse Gross says: ==================== A number of significant new features and optimizations for net-next/3.12. Highlights are: * "Megaflows", an optimization that allows userspace to specify which flow fields were used to compute the results of the flow lookup. This allows for a major reduction in flow setups (the major performance bottleneck in Open vSwitch) without reducing flexibility. * Converting netlink dump operations to use RCU, allowing for additional parallelism in userspace. * Matching and modifying SCTP protocol fields. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Patrick McHardy authored
Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy core with common functions and an address family specific target. The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie. It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size announced by the server. Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in the direction server->client.

Split out sequence number adjustments from NAT and move them to the conntrack core to make them usable for SYN proxying. The sequence number adjustment information is moved to a seperate extend. The extend is added to new conntracks when a NAT mapping is set up for a connection using a helper. As a side effect, this saves 24 bytes per connection with NAT in the common case that a connection does not have a helper assigned.

As reported by Casper Gripenberg, in a bridged setup, using ip[6]t_REJECT with the tcp-reset option sends out reset packets with the src MAC address of the local bridge interface, instead of the MAC address of the intended destination. This causes some routers/firewalls to drop the reset packet as it appears to be spoofed. Fix this by bypassing ip[6]_local_out and setting the MAC of the sender in the tcp reset packet. This closes netfilter bugzilla #531. Signed-off-by: Phil Oester <kernel@linuxace.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Make sure the sw_flow_key structure and valid mask boundaries are always machine word aligned. Optimize the flow compare and mask operations using machine word size operations. This patch improves throughput on average by 15% when CPU is the bottleneck of forwarding packets. This patch is inspired by ideas and code from a patch submitted by Peter Klausler titled "replace memcmp() with specialized comparator". However, The original patch only optimizes for architectures support unaligned machine word access. This patch optimizes for all architectures.

This patch adds support for virtual IOMMU to the vmxnet3 module. We switch to DMA consistent mappings for anything we pass to the device. There were a few places where we already did this, but using pci_blah(); these have been fixed to use dma_blah(), along with all new occurrences where we've replaced kmalloc() and friends. Also fix two small bugs: 1) use after free of rq->buf_info in vmxnet3_rq_destroy() 2) a cpu_to_le32() that should have been a cpu_to_le64() Acked-by: George Zhang <georgezhang@vmware.com> Acked-by: Aditya Sarwade <asarwade@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Andy King <acking@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently the IF_CREATE FW cmd is issued only *after* MCCQ is created as it was coded to only use MCCQ. By fixing this, cmd_if_create() can be called before MCCQ is created and the same routine for VF provisioning can be called after. This allows for consolidating all the queue create routines by moving the be_cmd_if_create() call above all queue create calls in be_setup().
