v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver. This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for round-robin and active-backup bonding. Similar functionality was discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a completely new mode. Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks. Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when considering a multi-switch environment. Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting the 'all_slaves_active' flag. This will allow reception of unicast traffic on any of the backup interfaces. This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters with good results. More information as well as a configuration example is available in the patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt. Signed-off-by:

v2: changed parameter name from 'keep_all' to 'all_slaves_active' and skipped setting slaves to inactive rather than creating a new flag at Jay's suggestion. In an effort to suppress duplicate frames on certain bonding modes (specifically the modes that do not require additional configuration on the switch or switches connected to the host), code was added in the generic receive patch in 2.6.16. The current behavior works quite well for most users, but there are some times it would be nice to restore old functionality and allow all frames to make their way up the stack. This patch adds support for a new module option and sysfs file called 'all_slaves_active' that will restore pre-2.6.16 functionality if the user desires. The default value is '0' and retains existing behavior, but the user can set it to '1' and allow all frames up if desired. Signed-off-by:

We can avoid an unecessary cache miss by checking if the skb is non-linear before accessing gso_size/gso_type in skb_warn_if_lro, the same can also be done to avoid a cache miss on nr_frags if data_len is 0. Signed-off-by:

This patch is alternative to a previous patch submitted by Joe Perches. Create common macros e_<level> and e_dev_<level> that use netdev_<level> and dev_<level> similar to e1000e. Redefined pr_fmt for driver messages. Use %pM to display MAC address. Aligned text to better match the new format. CC: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter mentioned that packets could be dropped in input path because of rp_filter settings, without any SNMP counter being incremented. System administrator can have a hard time to track the problem. This patch introduces a new counter, LINUX_MIB_IPRPFILTER, incremented each time we drop a packet because Reverse Path Filter triggers. (We receive an IPv4 datagram on a given interface, and find the route to send an answer would use another interface) netstat -s | grep IPReversePathFilter IPReversePathFilter: 21714 Reported-by:Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device. Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register an rx_handler for needed net device. Signed-off-by:

There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the IPv6 stack: if (opt && opt->srcrt) { struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt->srcrt; ipv6_addr_copy(&final, &fl.fl6_dst); ipv6_addr_copy(&fl.fl6_dst, rt0->addr); final_p = &final; } Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to NULL when declared. Signed-off-by:Arnaud Ebalard <arno@natisbad.org> Signed-off-by:

Normally dhclient can be configured to send the "host-name" option in DHCP requests to update the client's DNS record. However for an NFSROOT system, dhclient shall never be called (which may change the IP addr and therefore lose your root NFS mount connection). So enable updating the DNS record with kernel parameter ip=::::$HOST_NAME::dhcp Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by packet_mmap. PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set. If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was added). Signed-off-by:

When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc spinlock suffers from very high contention. The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for this lock for each dequeued packet. One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set. The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate. Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock lock as late as possible. Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000 pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver. (A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform) for j in `seq 0 3`; do for i in `seq 0 7`; do netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -N -T $i -- -m 6 & done done Signed-off-by: -
