I believe net/core/dev.c is a better place for netif_notify_peers(), because other net event notify functions also stay in this file. And rename it to netdev_notify_peers(). Cc: David S.

As pointed out, there are places, that access net->loopback_dev->ifindex and after ifindex generation is made per-net this value becomes constant equals 1. So go ahead and introduce the LOOPBACK_IFINDEX constant and use it where appropriate.

Strictly speaking this is only _really_ required for checkpoint-restore to make loopback device always have the same index. This change appears to be safe wrt "ifindex should be unique per-system" concept, as all the ifindex usage is either already made per net namespace of is explicitly limited with init_net only. There are two cool side effects of this. The first one -- ifindices of devices in container are always small, regardless of how many containers we've started (and re-started) so far. The second one is -- we can speed up the loopback ifidex access as shown in the next patch. v2: Place ifindex right after dev_base_seq : avoid two holes and use the same cache line, dirtied in list_netdevice()/unlist_netdevice() Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago), so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it. Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally because the value clashes with an existing interface. To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is preserved. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently the RTM_NEWLINK results in -EOPNOTSUPP if the ifinfomsg->ifi_index is not zero. I propose to allow requesting ifindices on link creation. This is required by the checkpoint-restore to correctly restore a net namespace (i.e. -- a container).

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could. Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value instead of the device index. This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not be affected. Many thanks to David and Eric for the hash32_ptr implementation!

Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed in clock_t units. This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed to jiffies_to_clock_t(). This function has an overflow in : return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ); commit cbbc719f (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long) only got around the problem. As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field. TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK. Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change. 2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64.

While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered) segments. In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values, and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms). While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as possible. Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce() if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

While doing TCP ECN tests, I discovered GRO was reordering packets if it receives one packet with CE set, while previous packets in same NAPI run have ECT(0) for the same flow : 09:25:25.857620 IP (tos 0x2,ECT(0), ttl 64, id 27893, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 4396) 172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq 233801:238145, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr 1990627], length 4344 09:25:25.857626 IP (tos 0x3,CE, ttl 64, id 27892, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 1500) 172.30.42.19.54550 > 172.30.42.13.44139: Flags [.], seq 232353:233801, ack 1, win 115, options [nop,nop,TS val 3397779 ecr 1990627], length 1448 09:25:25.857638 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 34581, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 64) 172.30.42.13.44139 > 172.30.42.19.54550: Flags [.], cksum 0xac8f (incorrect -> 0xca69), ack 232353, win 1271, options [nop,nop,TS val 1990627 ecr 3397779,nop,nop,sack 1 {233801:238145}], length 0 We have two problems here : 1) GRO reorders packets If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different flows" GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to understand how to solve this problem. 2) GRO is not ECN friendly Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could be. In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow' determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

performance profiles show a high cost in the IN_DEV_ROUTE_LOCALNET() call done in ip_route_input_slow(), because of multiple dereferences, even if cache lines are clean and available in cpu caches. Since we already have the 'net' pointer, introduce IN_DEV_NET_ROUTE_LOCALNET() macro avoiding two dereferences (dev_net(in_dev->dev)) Also change the tests to use IN_DEV_NET_ROUTE_LOCALNET() only if saddr or/and daddr are loopback addresse.
