Allow master and backup servers to use many threads for sync traffic. Add sysctl var "sync_ports" to define the number of threads. Every thread will use single UDP port, thread 0 will use the default port 8848 while last thread will use port 8848+sync_ports-1. The sync traffic for connections is scheduled to many master threads based on the cp address but one connection is always assigned to same thread to avoid reordering of the sync messages. Remove ip_vs_sync_switch_mode because this check for sync mode change is still risky. Instead, check for mode change under sync_buff_lock. Make sure the backup socks do not block on reading.

Add two new sysctl vars to control the sync rate with the main idea to reduce the rate for connection templates because currently it depends on the packet rate for controlled connections. This mechanism should be useful also for normal connections with high traffic. sync_refresh_period: in seconds, difference in reported connection timer that triggers new sync message. It can be used to avoid sync messages for the specified period (or half of the connection timeout if it is lower) if connection state is not changed from last sync. sync_retries: integer, 0..3, defines sync retries with period of sync_refresh_period/8. Useful to protect against loss of sync messages. Allow sysctl_sync_threshold to be used with sysctl_sync_period=0, so that only single sync message is sent if sync_refresh_period is also 0. Add new field "sync_endtime" in connection structure to hold the reported time when connection expires. The 2 lowest bits will represent the retry count. As the sysctl_sync_period now can be 0 use ACCESS_ONCE to avoid division by zero. Special thanks to Aleksey Chudov for being patient with me, for his extensive reports and helping in all tests.

High rate of sync messages in master can lead to overflowing the socket buffer and dropping the messages. Fixed sleep of 1 second without wakeup events is not suitable for loaded masters, Use delayed_work to schedule sending for queued messages and limit the delay to IPVS_SYNC_SEND_DELAY (20ms). This will reduce the rate of wakeups but to avoid sending long bursts we wakeup the master thread after IPVS_SYNC_WAKEUP_RATE (8) messages. Add hard limit for the queued messages before sending by using "sync_qlen_max" sysctl var. It defaults to 1/32 of the memory pages but actually represents number of messages. It will protect us from allocating large parts of memory when the sending rate is lower than the queuing rate. As suggested by Pablo, add new sysctl var "sync_sock_size" to configure the SNDBUF (master) or RCVBUF (slave) socket limit. Default value is 0 (preserve system defaults). Change the master thread to detect and block on SNDBUF overflow, so that we do not drop messages when the socket limit is low but the sync_qlen_max limit is not reached. On ENOBUFS or other errors just drop the messages. Change master thread to enter TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state early, so that we do not miss wakeups due to messages or kthread_should_stop event.

As the goal is to mirror the inactconns/activeconns counters in the backup server, make sure the cp->flags are updated even if cp is still not bound to dest. If cp->flags are not updated ip_vs_bind_dest will rely only on the initial flags when updating the counters. To avoid mistakes and complicated checks for protocol state rely only on the IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit when updating the counters.

Initially, when the synced connection is created we use the forwarding method provided by master but once we bind to destination it can be changed. As result, we must update the application and the transmitter. As ip_vs_try_bind_dest is called always for connections that require dest binding, there is no need to validate the cp and dest pointers.

As the IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit is properly set in cp->flags for all kind of connections we do not need to add special checks for synced connections when updating the activeconns/inactconns counters for first time. Now logic will look just like in ip_vs_unbind_dest. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>

if net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged sysctl is enabled, bridge netfilter removes the vlan header temporarily and then feeds the packet to ip(6)tables. When the new "bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-device" sysctl is on (default off), then bridge netfilter will also set the in-interface to the vlan interface; if such an interface exists. This is needed to make iptables REDIRECT target work with "vlan-on-top-of-bridge" setups and to allow use of "iptables -i" to match the vlan device name. Also update Documentation with current brnf default settings.

This patch allows you to disable automatic conntrack helper lookup based on TCP/UDP ports, eg. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper [ Note: flows that already got a helper will keep using it even if automatic helper assignment has been disabled ] Once this behaviour has been disabled, you have to explicitly use the iptables CT target to attach helper to flows. There are good reasons to stop supporting automatic helper assignment, for further information, please read: http://www.netfilter.org/news.html#2012-04-03 This patch also adds one message to inform that automatic helper assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon (this is spotted only once, with the first flow that gets a helper attached to make it as less annoying as possible).

Michael S. Tsirkin says: -------------------- There are mostly bugfixes here. I hope to merge some more patches by 3.5, in particular vlan support fixes are waiting for Eric's ack, and a version of tracepoint patch might be ready in time, but let's merge what's ready so it's testable. This includes a ton of zerocopy fixes by Jason - good stuff but too intrusive for 3.4 and zerocopy is experimental anyway. virtio supported delayed interrupt for a while now so adding support to the virtio tool made sense -------------------- Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus multiplexers. It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer. The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY devices. Conceptually it could look something like this: ------------------ | Control Signal | --------+--------- | --------------- --------+------ | MDIO MASTER |---| Multiplexer | --------------- --+-------+---- | | C C h h i i l l d d | | --------- A B --------- | | | | | | | PHY@1 +-------+ +---+ PHY@1 | | | | | | | --------- | | --------- --------- | | --------- | | | | | | | PHY@2 +-------+ +---+ PHY@2 | | | | | --------- --------- This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data. The mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific drivers. The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

Add of_mdio_find_bus() which allows an mii_bus to be located given its associated the device tree node. This is needed by the follow-on patch to add a driver for MDIO bus multiplexers. The of_mdiobus_register() function is modified so that the device tree node is recorded in the mii_bus. Then we can find it again by iterating over all mdio_bus_class devices. Because the OF device tree has now become an integral part of the kernel, this can live in mdio_bus.c (which contains the needed mdio_bus_class structure) instead of of_mdio.c.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp replacement because of this. A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one due to this semantic difference.

With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer - skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.
