2012-12-18virtio_net: don't rely on virtqueue_add_buf() returning capacity.Rusty Russell
Now we can easily use vq->num_free to determine if there are descriptors left in the queue, we're about to change virtqueue_add_buf() to return 0 on success. The virtio_net driver is the only one which actually uses the return value, so change that. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2012-12-18virtio-net: correct capacity math on ring fullMichael S. Tsirkin
Capacity math on ring full is wrong: we are looking at num_sg but that might be optimistic because of indirect buffer use. The implementation also penalizes fast path with extra memory accesses for the benefit of ring full condition handling which is slow path. It's easy to query ring capacity so let's do just that. This change also makes it easier to move vnet header for tx around as follow-up patch does. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2012-12-09virtio-net: support changing the number of queue pairs through ethtoolJason Wang

2012-12-09virtio_net: multiqueue supportJason Wang
This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch. When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu virt queue pairs: - select the txq based on the smp processor id. - smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs. This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov. 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman. 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko. 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar. 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others. 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel Borkmann. 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

2012-05-17virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_scheduleMichael S. Tsirkin
__napi_schedule might raise softirq but nothing causes do_softirq to trigger, so it does not in fact run. As a result, the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is started and we are oom: ... Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 done. [ OK ] ... Further, receive queue processing might get delayed indefinitely until some interrupt triggers: virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately. One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is normally called from bh or irq context, this seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule and enable afterwards. In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(), and works since this function is only used when we are not in interrupt context. It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.

2012-04-15virtio-net: send gratuitous packets when neededJason Wang
As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's better to ask guest to send gratuitous packets when needed. This patch implements VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature: hypervisor would notice the guest when it thinks it's time for guest to announce the link presnece. Guest tests VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt and woule send gratuitous packets through netif_notify_peers() and ack the notification through ctrl vq. We need to make sure the atomicy of read and ack in guest otherwise we may ack more times than being notified.

Michael S. Tsirkin also noticed that we could run the refill work multiple CPUs: if we kick off a refill on one CPU and then on another, they would both manipulate the queue at the same time (they use napi_disable to avoid racing against the receive handler itself).

This is clearly wrong, so move the workqueue control to ndo_open and ndo_stop (aka. virtnet_open and virtnet_close). One subtle point: virtnet_probe() could simply fail if it couldn't allocate a receive buffer, but that's less polite in virtnet_open() so we schedule a refill as we do in the normal receive path if we run out of memory.

There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag - VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization. No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag. Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP, when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement could be measured by netperf. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.
