Pankaj Gupta says: ==================== Increase the limit of tuntap queues Networking under KVM works best if we allocate a per-vCPU rx and tx queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side. Modern physical NICs have multiqueue support for large number of queues. To scale vNIC to run multiple queues parallel to maximum number of vCPU's we need to increase number of queues support in tuntap. Changes from v4: PATCH2: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Updated change comment message. Changes from v3: PATCH1: Michael.S.Tsirkin - Some cleanups and updated commit message. Perf numbers on 10 Gbs NIC Changes from v2: PATCH 3: David Miller - flex array adds extra level of indirection for preallocated array.(dropped, as flow array is allocated using kzalloc with failover to zalloc). Changes from v1: PATCH 2: David Miller - sysctl changes to limit number of queues not required for unprivileged users(dropped). Changes from RFC PATCH 1: Sergei Shtylyov - Add an empty line after declarations. PATCH 2: Jiri Pirko - Do not introduce new module paramaters. Michael.S.Tsirkin- We can use sysctl for limiting max number of queues. This series is to increase the number of tuntap queues. Original work is being done by 'jasowang@redhat.com'. I am taking this 'https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/19/29' patch series as a reference. As per discussion in the patch series: There were two reasons which prevented us from increasing number of tun queues: - The netdev_queue array in netdevice were allocated through kmalloc, which may cause a high order memory allocation too when we have several queues. E.g. sizeof(netdev_queue) is 320, which means a high order allocation would happens when the device has more than 16 queues. - We store the hash buckets in tun_struct which results a very large size of tun_struct, this high order memory allocation fail easily when the memory is fragmented. The patch 60877a32 increases the number of tx queues. Memory allocation fallback to vzalloc() when kmalloc() fails. This series tries to address following issues: - Increase the number of netdev_queue queues for rx similarly its done for tx queues by falling back to vzalloc() when memory allocation with kmalloc() fails. - Increase number of queues to 256, maximum number is equal to maximum number of vCPUS allowed in a guest. I have also done testing with multiple parallel Netperf sessions for different combination of queues and CPU's. It seems to be working fine without much increase in cpu load with increase in number of queues. I also see good increase in throughput with increase in number of queues. Though i had limitation of 8 physical CPU's. For this test: Two Hosts(Host1 & Host2) are directly connected with cable Host1 is running Guest1. Data is sent from Host2 to Guest1 via Host1.

Networking under kvm works best if we allocate a per-vCPU RX and TX queue in a virtual NIC. This requires a per-vCPU queue on the host side. It is now safe to increase the maximum number of queues. Preceding patch: 'net: allow large number of rx queues' made sure this won't cause failures due to high order memory allocations. Increase it to 256: this is the max number of vCPUs KVM supports. Size of tun_struct changes from 8512 to 10496 after this patch. This keeps pages allocated for tun_struct before and after the patch to 3. Signed-off-by:

netif_alloc_rx_queues() uses kcalloc() to allocate memory for "struct netdev_queue *_rx" array. If we are doing large rx queue allocation kcalloc() might fail, so this patch does a fallback to vzalloc(). Similar implementation is done for tx queue allocation in netif_alloc_netdev_queues(). We avoid failure of high order memory allocation with the help of vzalloc(), this allows us to do large rx and tx queue allocation which in turn helps us to increase the number of queues in tun. As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, __GFP_REPEAT flag is used with kzalloc() to do this fallback only when really needed. Signed-off-by:

Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== bridge: support for vlan range in setlink/dellink This series adds new flags in IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO to indicate vlan range. Will post corresponding iproute2 patches if these get accepted. v1-> v2 - changed patches to use a nested list attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_LIST as suggested by scott feldman - dropped notification changes from the series. Will post them separately after this range message is accepted. v2 -> v3 - incorporated some review feedback - include patches to fill vlan ranges during getlink - Dropped IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_LIST. I think it may get confusing to userspace if we introduce yet another way to send lists. With getlink already sending nested IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO in IFLA_AF_SPEC, It seems better to use the existing format for lists and just use the flags from v2 to mark vlan ranges ==================== Signed-off-by:Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by:

Remove the empty array element initializer and size the array with BOND_OPT_LAST so the compiler will complain if more elements are in there than should be. An interesting unwanted side effect of this initializer is that if one inserts new options into the middle of the array then this initializer will zero out the option that equals BOND_OPT_TLB_DYNAMIC_LB+1. Example: Extend the OPTS enum: enum { ... BOND_OPT_TLB_DYNAMIC_LB, BOND_OPT_LACP_NEW1, BOND_OPT_LAST }; Now insert into bond_opts array: static const struct bond_option bond_opts[] = { ... [BOND_OPT_LACP_RATE] = { .... unchanged stuff .... }, [BOND_OPT_LACP_NEW1] = { ... new stuff ... }, ... [BOND_OPT_TLB_DYNAMIC_LB] = { .... unchanged stuff ....}, { } // MARK A }; Since BOND_OPT_LACP_NEW1 = BOND_OPT_TLB_DYNAMIC_LB+1, the last initializer (MARK A) will overwrite the contents of BOND_OPT_LACP_NEW1 and can be easily viewed with the crash utility.

Ying Xue says: ==================== tipc: make tipc support namespace This patchset aims to add net namespace support for TIPC stack. Currently TIPC module declares the following global resources: - TIPC network idenfication number - TIPC node table - TIPC bearer list table - TIPC broadcast link - TIPC socket reference table - TIPC name service table - TIPC node address - TIPC service subscriber server - TIPC random value - TIPC netlink In order that TIPC is aware of namespace, above each resource must be allocated, initialized and destroyed inside per namespace. Therefore, the major works of this patchset are to isolate these global resources and make them private for each namespace. However, before these changes come true, some necessary preparation works must be first done: convert socket reference table with generic rhashtable, cleanup core.c and core.h files, remove unnecessary wrapper functions for kernel timer interfaces and so on. It should be noted that commit ##1 ("tipc: fix bug in broadcast retransmit code") was already submitted to 'net' tree, so please see below link: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/426717/ Since it is prerequisite for the rest of the series to apply, I prepend them to the series. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Currently tipc module only allows users sitting on "init_net" namespace to configure it through netlink interface. But now almost each tipc component is able to be aware of net namespace, so it's time to open the permission for users residing in other namespaces, allowing them to configure their own tipc stack instance through netlink interface.

TIPC establishes one subscriber server which allows users to subscribe their interesting name service status. After tipc supports namespace, one dedicated tipc stack instance is created for each namespace, and each instance can be deemed as one independent TIPC node. As a result, subscriber server must be built for each namespace. Signed-off-by:

If net namespace is supported in tipc, each namespace will be treated as a separate tipc node. Therefore, every namespace must own its private tipc node address. This means the "tipc_own_addr" global variable of node address must be moved to tipc_net structure to satisfy the requirement. It's turned out that users also can assign node address for every namespace. Signed-off-by:

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace, it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore, The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table variable defined in tipc_net structure.

Now tipc socket table is statically allocated as a global variable. Through it, we can look up one socket instance with port ID, insert a new socket instance to the table, and delete a socket from the table. But when tipc supports net namespace, each namespace must own its specific socket table. So the global variable of socket table must be redefined in tipc_net structure. As a concequence, a new socket table will be allocated when a new namespace is created, and a socket table will be deallocated when namespace is destroyed. Signed-off-by:

TIPC broadcast link is statically established and its relevant states are maintained with the global variables: "bcbearer", "bclink" and "bcl". Allowing different namespace to own different broadcast link instances, these variables must be moved to tipc_net structure and broadcast link instances would be allocated and initialized when namespace is created.

Bearer list defined as a global variable is used to store bearer instances. When tipc supports net namespace, bearers created in one namespace must be isolated with others allocated in other namespaces, which requires us that the bearer list(bearer_list) must be moved to tipc_net structure. As a result, a net namespace pointer has to be passed to functions which access the bearer list. Signed-off-by:

Global variables associated with node table are below: - node table list (node_htable) - node hash table list (tipc_node_list) - node table lock (node_list_lock) - node number counter (tipc_num_nodes) - node link number counter (tipc_num_links) To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the major change made in the commit. Signed-off-by:

In order to make tipc socket table aware of namespace, a networking namespace instance must be passed to tipc_sk_lookup(), allowing it to look up tipc socket instance with a given port ID from a concrete socket table. However, as now tipc_sk_timeout() only has one port ID parameter and is not namespace aware, it's unable to obtain a correct socket instance through tipc_sk_lookup() just with a port ID, especially after namespace is completely supported. If port ID is replaced with socket instance as tipc_sk_timeout()'s parameter, it's unnecessary to look up socket table. But as the timer handler - tipc_sk_timeout() is run asynchronously, socket reference must be held before its timer is launched, and must be carefully checked to identify whether the socket reference needs to be put or not when its timer is terminated.

Not only some wrapper function like k_term_timer() is empty, but also some others including k_start_timer() and k_cancel_timer() don't return back any value to its caller, what's more, there is no any component in the kernel world to do such thing. Therefore, these timer interfaces defined in tipc module should be purged. Signed-off-by:

In commit 58dc55f2 ("tipc: use generic SKB list APIs to manage link transmission queue") we replace all list traversal loops with the macros skb_queue_walk() or skb_queue_walk_safe(). While the previous loops were based on the assumption that the list was NULL-terminated, the standard macros stop when the iterator reaches the list head, which is non-NULL. In the function bclink_retransmit_pkt() this macro replacement has lead to a bug. When we receive a BCAST STATE_MSG we unconditionally call the function bclink_retransmit_pkt(), whether there really is anything to retransmit or not, assuming that the sequence number comparisons will lead to the correct behavior. However, if the transmission queue is empty, or if there are no eligible buffers in the transmission queue, we will by mistake pass the list head pointer to the function tipc_link_retransmit(). Since the list head is not a valid sk_buff, this leads to a crash. In this commit we fix this by only calling tipc_link_retransmit() if we actually found eligible buffers in the transmission queue.
