gro: Do not merge paged packets into frag_list Bigger is not always better :) It was easy to continue to merged packets into frag_list after the page array is full. However, this turns out to be worse than LRO because frag_list is a much less efficient form of storage than the page array. So we're better off stopping the merge and starting a new entry with an empty page array. In future we can optimise this further by doing frag_list merging but making sure that we continue to fill in the page array.

Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge. LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers from the frags structure. This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

We now only TX hash on pre-computed SKB properties. The thinking is: 1) High performance routing and firewalling setups will have a multiqueue capable card used for receive, and therefore would have RX queue recordings made into the SKB which can be used for the TX side hash. 2) Locally generated packets will have an attached socket and thus a valid sk->sk_hash to make use of.

The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by the hardware. If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select the outgoing TX queue. This helps get more consistent load balancing on router and firewall loads. Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 77ecaf2d ("gianfar: Fix VLAN HW feature related frame/buffer size calculation") wrongly removed priv->vlgrp assignment, and now priv->vlgrp is always NULL. This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes following sparse warning introduced by the same commit: gianfar.c:1406:13: warning: context imbalance in 'gfar_vlan_rx_register' - wrong count at exit gfar_vlan_rx_register() checks for "if (old_grp == grp)" and tries to return w/o dropping the lock. According to net/8021q/vlan.c VLAN core issues rx_register() callback: 1. In register_vlan_dev() only on a newly created group; 2. In unregister_vlan_dev() only if the group becomes empty. Thus the check in the gianfar driver isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Acked-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the 'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do without accessing private .h files for any module that cannot use GPL-only symbols. Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.

The current tx_has_work waited until all packets sent by the driver are marked as completed by the FW. This is too greedy and it causes the bnx2x_poll to spin in vain. The driver should only check that all packets FW already completed are freed - only in unload flow the driver should make sure that transmit queue is empty Signed-off-by: Vladislav Zolotarov <vladz@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
