dev_queue_xmit enqueue's a skb and calls qdisc_run which dequeue's the skb and xmits it. In most cases, the skb that is enqueue'd is the same one that is dequeue'd (unless the queue gets stopped or multiple cpu's write to the same queue and ends in a race with qdisc_run). For default qdiscs, we can remove the redundant enqueue/dequeue and simply xmit the skb since the default qdisc is work-conserving. The patch uses a new flag - TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to identify the default fast queue. The controversial part of the patch is incrementing qlen when a skb is requeued - this is to avoid checks like the second line below: + } else if ((q->flags & TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS) && !qdisc_qlen(q) && >> !q->gso_skb && + !test_and_set_bit(__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING, &q->state)) { Results of a 2 hour testing for multiple netperf sessions (1, 2, 4, 8, 12 sessions on a 4 cpu system-X).

There is no point in using more QPs then actual number of receive rings. If the RSS function for two streams gives the same result modulo number of rings, they will arrive to the same RX ring anyway.

If the net device is identified as "sender" (number of sent packets is higher then the number of received packets and the incoming packets are small), set the moderation time to its low limit. We do it because the incoming packets are acks, and we don't want to delay them Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Petrilin <yevgenyp@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Elsewhere the sin_family field holds a value with a name of the form AF_..., so it seems reasonable to do so here as well. Also the values of PF_INET and AF_INET are the same.

This patch implements prefetching of skb->data from a copy of the pointer in the descriptor (which is already in the L1 cache at this point). This improves netperf rx performance (netperf -L 0,0 -c -H 192.168.254.2 -- -M 131072 -m 131072) by 4.9% on a P4 Xeon host.

This patch fixes a case in the transmit completion code which was resulting in pktgen hanging at the end of a run. The cause is due to the fact that the ->cb[] area of an skb cannot be used in a network driver's transmit path, as that area belongs to the network protocol. Pktgen hangs, as it sends out the same packet multiple times, and vxge's use of this area of the skb for a temporary list can only add the packet to the temporary list once (while it may be on the queue many times). The fix is to remove this abuse of skb->cb[]. Instead, skb pointers are placed into a temporary stack array, and then free outside of the tx lock. This retains the smp optimization of doing dev_kfree_skb() outside of the tx lock.

The skb priority to vlan-qos egress mapping that can be configured using set_egress_map with vconfig is overriden by the DCB code in the driver. This patch allows this existing mechanism to work and will increase the configuration flexibility of DCB mode on Linux. A hierarchy of configuration is: 1. Modifies the ixgbe_select_queue() routine for DCB mode to return the priority value from the VLAN tag. It will normally be zero, unless the egress priority map has modified it. This will get packets into the correct queue and result in the queue_mapping field being set correctly. 2. Any tc filter which modifies queue_mapping will be honored, as the filters are handled after the vlan egress map is handled.

This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to retrieve the protocol used with a given socket. I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others just uses the next free Linux number, 38. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When an interface is configured in the AP mode, the mac80211 implementation doesn't inform the driver to receive PS Poll frames. It leads to inability to communicate with power-saving stations reliably. The FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed by mac80211 to ieee80211_ops.configure_filter when an interface is in the AP mode. And it's ok, because we don't want to receive ACK frames and other control ones, but only PS Poll ones. This patch introduces the FIF_PSPOLL filter flag in addition to FIF_CONTROL, which means for the driver "pass PS Poll frames". This flag is passed to the driver: A) When an interface is configured in the AP mode. B) In all cases, when the FIF_CONTROL flag was passed earlier (in addition to it).
