2010-08-08net: disable preemption before call smp_processor_id()Changli Gao
Although netif_rx() isn't expected to be called in process context with preemption enabled, it'd better handle this case. And this is why get_cpu() is used in the non-RPS #ifdef branch. If tree RCU is selected, rcu_read_lock() won't disable preemption, so preempt_disable() should be called explictly. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-08-03Revert "net: remove zap_completion_queue"David S. Miller
This reverts commit 15e83ed78864d0625e87a85f09b297c0919a4797. As explained by Johannes Berg, the optimization made here is invalid. Or, at best, incomplete. Not only destructor invocation, but conntract entry releasing must be executed outside of hw IRQ context. So just checking "skb->destructor" is insufficient. Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-07-25sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment typeStefan Assmann
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs. This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

2010-07-22net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.cAndrea Shepard
Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really csum_start and not csum before adjusting it. This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs. On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts of headroom on receive depending on the packet size. See line 2030 of drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes. When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header() calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more. Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb, including csum_start. Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed. The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD. On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h, I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

2010-07-15net: fix problem in reading sock TX queueTom Herbert
Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket. In dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get. The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit. We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper checks. The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it returns -1. sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be completely removed.

2010-07-14net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try()Eric Dumazet
commit fc6055a5ba31e2 (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early orphaning of skbs. This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...) Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices. skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all flows. skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash() can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.

2010-07-10net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats unionBen Hutchings
In commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b "net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or conversion between the two. However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.

There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

2010-07-03net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdiscJohn Fastabend
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can be sent to the underlying driver. The flow for this is, dev_queue_xmit() dev_pick_tx() skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues skb_set_queue_mapping() ... qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash ... dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n ... sch_direct_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set 0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues. This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to rings that no longer exist.

2010-06-23net: consolidate netif_needs_gso() checksJohn Fastabend
netif_needs_gso() is checked twice in the TX path once, before submitting the skb to the qdisc and once after it is dequeued from the qdisc just before calling ndo_hard_start(). This opens a window for a user to change the gso/tso or tx checksum settings that can cause netif_needs_gso to be true in one check and false in the other. Specifically, changing TX checksum setting may cause the warning in skb_gso_segment() to be triggered if the checksum is calculated earlier. This consolidates the netif_needs_gso() calls so that the stack only checks if gso is needed in dev_hard_start_xmit().

2010-06-15bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointerJiri Pirko
Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-06-15netpoll: Allow netpoll_setup/cleanup recursionHerbert Xu
This patch adds the functions __netpoll_setup/__netpoll_cleanup which is designed to be called recursively through ndo_netpoll_seutp. They must be called with RTNL held, and the caller must initialise np->dev and ensure that it has a valid reference count.

2010-06-15netpoll: Add ndo_netpoll_setupHerbert Xu
This patch adds ndo_netpoll_setup as the initialisation primitive to complement ndo_netpoll_cleanup. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-06-15netpoll: Add locking for netpoll_setup/cleanupHerbert Xu
As it stands, netpoll_setup and netpoll_cleanup have no locking protection whatsoever. So chaos ensures if two entities try to perform them on the same device. This patch adds RTNL to the equation. The code has been rearranged so that bits that do not need RTNL protection are now moved to the top of netpoll_setup. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
