Fix flaky results with PACKET_FANOUT_HASH depending on whether the two flows hash into the same packet socket or not. Also adds tests for PACKET_FANOUT_LB and PACKET_FANOUT_CPU and replaces the counting method with a packet ring. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Changes: v3->v2: rebase (no other changes) passes selftest v2->v1: read f->num_members only once fix bug: test rollover mode + flag Minimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full, roll over packets to another from the group. Maintain flow affinity during normal load using an rxhash fanout policy, while dispersing unexpected traffic storms that hit a single cpu, such as spoofed-source DoS flows. Rollover breaks affinity for flows arriving at saturated sockets during those conditions. The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets, filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then, rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the entire system is saturated. Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with sufficiently long queues to absorb bursts, sockets are drained in parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`. To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure correctness. Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet ring (V1). Also, passes psock_fanout.c unit test added to selftests. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

because xfrm policy direction has same value with corresponding flow direction, so this problem is covered. In xfrm_lookup and __xfrm_policy_check, flow_cache_lookup is used to accelerate the lookup. Flow direction is given to flow_cache_lookup by policy_to_flow_dir. When the flow cache is mismatched, callback 'resolver' is called. 'resolver' requires xfrm direction, so convert direction back to xfrm direction. Signed-off-by: Baker Zhang <baker.zhang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Conflicts: net/openvswitch/vport-internal_dev.c Jesse Gross says: ==================== A couple of minor enhancements for net-next/3.10. The largest is an extension to allow variable length metadata to be passed to userspace with packets. There is a merge conflict in net/openvswitch/vport-internal_dev.c: A existing commit modifies internal_dev_mac_addr() and a new commit deletes it. The new one is correct, so you can just remove that function. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch allows LRO aggregation on bonded devices that contain an NX3031 device. It also adds a for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu(bond, slave) macro which executes for each slave that has bond as master. V3: After testing and discussing this with Rajesh, I decided to keep the vlan ip cache and just rename it to ip_cache since it will store bond ip addresses too. A new master flag has been added to the ip cache to denote that the address has been added because of a master device. I've taken care of the enslave/release cases by checking for various combinations of events and flags (e.g. netxen has a master, it's a bond master and it's not marked as a slave means it is being enslaved and is dev_open()ed in bond_enslave). I've changed netxen_free_ip_list() to have a "master" parameter which causes all IP addresses marked as master to be deleted (used when a netxen is being released). I've made the patch use the new upper device API as well. The following cases were tested: - bond -> netxen - vlan -> netxen - vlan -> bond -> netxen V2: Remove local ip caching, retrieve addresses dynamically and restore them if necessary. Note: Tested with NX3031 adapter.
