2011-11-17net: new counter for tx_timeout errors in sysfsdavid decotigny
This adds the /sys/class/net/DEV/queues/Q/tx_timeout attribute containing the total number of timeout events on the given queue. It is always available with CONFIG_SYSFS, independently of CONFIG_RPS/XPS. Credits to Stephen Hemminger for a preliminary version of this patch. Tested: without CONFIG_SYSFS (compilation only) with sysfs and without CONFIG_RPS & CONFIG_XPS with sysfs and without CONFIG_RPS with sysfs and without CONFIG_XPS with defaults Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <david.decotigny@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-10net_sched: prio: use qdisc_dequeue_peekedFlorian Westphal
commit 07bd8df5df4369487812bf85a237322ff3569b77 (sch_sfq: fix peek() implementation) changed sfq to use generic peek helper. This makes HFSC complain about a non-work-conserving child qdisc, if prio with sfq child is used within hfsc: hfsc peeks into prio qdisc, which will then peek into sfq. returned skb is stashed in sch->gso_skb. Next, hfsc tries to dequeue from prio, but prio will call sfq dequeue directly, which may return NULL instead of previously peeked-at skb. Have prio call qdisc_dequeue_peeked, so sfq->dequeue() is not called in this case. Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-27net_sched: fix dequeuer fairnessjamal
Results on dummy device can be seen in my netconf 2011 slides. These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to the one used in the netconf2011 results. It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G. Test setup: ---------- System under test sending packets out. Additional box connected directly dropping packets. Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default netdev default length of 1000 used as is. The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in the results). 5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked. results ------- The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample was taken on, The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role. The "avg" for each run is the number of times each cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair. 3.0-rc4 (plain) cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 21853354 21598183 22199900 cpu1 431058 473476 393159 cpu2 481975 477529 458466 cpu3 23261406 23412299 22894315 avg 11506948 11490372 11486460 3.0-rc4 with patch and default weight 64 cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 13205312 13109359 13132333 cpu1 10189914 10159127 10122270 cpu2 10213871 10124367 10168722 cpu3 13165760 13164767 13096705 avg 11693714 11639405 11630008 As you can see the system is still not perfect but is a lot better than what it was before... At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine with that value. The system could be made more fair if we reduce the weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not we could add yet another knob. Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-05-23sch_sfq: avoid giving spurious NET_XMIT_CN signalsEric Dumazet
While chasing a possible net_sched bug, I found that IP fragments have litle chance to pass a congestioned SFQ qdisc : - Say SFQ qdisc is full because one flow is non responsive. - ip_fragment() wants to send two fragments belonging to an idle flow. - sfq_enqueue() queues first packet, but see queue limit reached : - sfq_enqueue() drops one packet from 'big consumer', and returns NET_XMIT_CN. - ip_fragment() cancel remaining fragments. This patch restores fairness, making sure we return NET_XMIT_CN only if we dropped a packet from the same flow.

2011-05-23net: avoid synchronize_rcu() in dev_deactivate_manyEric Dumazet
dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set to noop_qdisc. This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller. But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in rollback_registered_many(). After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL latency.
