2008-08-19pkt_sched: Prevent livelock in TX queue running.David S. Miller
If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock trying to process that queue. This happens because dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock. This breaks the livelock by adding a check on __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when the trylock fails. Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-08-18net: Change handling of the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED flag in net_tx_action().Jarek Poplawski
Change handling of the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED flag in net_tx_action() to enable proper control in dev_deactivate(). Now, if this flag is seen as unset under root_lock means a qdisc can't be netif_scheduled. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-18pkt_sched: Add 'deactivated' state.David S. Miller
This new state lets dev_deactivate() mark a qdisc as having been deactivated. dev_queue_xmit() and ing_filter() check for this bit and do not try to process the qdisc if the bit is set. dev_deactivate() polls the qdisc after setting the bit, waiting for both __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING and __QDISC_STATE_SCHED to clear. This isn't perfect yet, but subsequent changesets will make it so. This part is just one piece of the puzzle. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-08-16net: skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec()Rusty Russell
There's an skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to copy out of a paged skb, but nothing the other way around (because we don't do that). We want to allocate big skbs in tun.c, so let's add the function. It's a carbon copy of skb_copy_datagram_iovec() with enough changes to be annoying. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-08-13pktgen: prevent pktgen from using bad tx queueAndrew Gallatin
With the new multi-queue transmit code, it is possible to accidentally make pktgen pick a non-existing tx queue simply by using a stale script to drive pktgen. Access to this non-existing tx queue will then trigger a bad memory access and kill the machine. For example, setting "queue_map_max 2" will cause my machine to die when accessing a garbage spinlock in the non-existing tx queue: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, kpktgend_0/564 lock: ffff88001ddf6718, .magic: ffffffff, .owner: /-1, .owner_cpu: 0 Pid: 564, comm: kpktgend_0 Not tainted 2.6.27-rc3 #35 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803a1228>] spin_bug+0xa4/0xac [<ffffffff803a1253>] _raw_spin_lock+0x23/0x123 [<ffffffff8055b06f>] _spin_lock_bh+0x17/0x1b [<ffffffff804cb57d>] pktgen_thread_worker+0xa97/0x1002 [<ffffffff8022874d>] ? finish_task_switch+0x38/0x97 [<ffffffff80242077>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x36 [<ffffffff80242077>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x36 [<ffffffff804caae6>] ? pktgen_thread_worker+0x0/0x1002 [<ffffffff80241a40>] kthread+0x44/0x6d [<ffffffff8020c399>] child_rip+0xa/0x11 [<ffffffff802419fc>] ? kthread+0x0/0x6d [<ffffffff8020c38f>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x11 The attached patch adds some sanity checking to prevent these sorts of configuration errors.

2008-08-07pktgen: multiqueue etc.Robert Olsson
Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate. The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration adding a tag to the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU. An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0) and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and 1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id() PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0 pgset "add_device eth0@0" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_1 pgset "add_device eth0@1" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_2 pgset "add_device eth0@2" PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3 pgset "add_device eth0@3" ....

2008-08-03net: use software GSO for SG+CSUM capable netdevicesLennert Buytenhek
If a netdevice does not support hardware GSO, allowing the stack to use GSO anyway and then splitting the GSO skb into MSS-sized pieces as it is handed to the netdevice for transmitting is likely still a win as far as throughput and/or CPU usage are concerned, since it reduces the number of trips through the output path. This patch enables the use of GSO on any netdevice that supports SG. If a GSO skb is then sent to a netdevice that supports SG but does not support hardware GSO, net/core/dev.c:dev_hard_start_xmit() will take care of doing the necessary GSO segmentation in software.

2008-08-03net: fix missing pneigh entries in the neighbor seq_file codeChris Larson
When pneigh entries exist, but the user's read buffer isn't sufficient to hold them all, one of the pneigh entries will be missing from the results. In neigh_get_idx_any, the number of elements which neigh_get_idx encountered is not correctly subtracted from the position number before the call to pneigh_get_idx. neigh_get_idx reduces the position by 1 for each call to neigh_get_next, but it does not reduce it by one for the first element (neigh_get_first). The patch alters the neigh_get_idx and pneigh_get_idx functions to subtract one from pos, for the first element, when pos is non-zero.

2008-07-31netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.David S. Miller
When support for multiple TX queues were added, the netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock. This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways. So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen" state for the individual TX queues.

2008-07-30pkt_sched: Fix OOPS on ingress qdisc add.David S. Miller
Bug report from Steven Jan Springl: Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops: tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of ingress qdiscs. So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX qdiscs. Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too. Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL. There are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case that used to exist before this commit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-19pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc.David S. Miller
Idea is from Patrick McHardy. Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue. This solves all kinds of visibility issues during qdisc destruction. The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list. The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup(). That was not needed previously because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-18net: Implement simple sw TX hashing.David S. Miller
It just xor hashes over IPv4/IPv6 addresses and ports of transport. The only assumption it makes is that skb_network_header() is set correctly. With bug fixes from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-18netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method.David S. Miller
Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
