Changing MTU size of an xgmac network interface while it is active can cause a panic like skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:c03bc62c len:1090 put:1090 head:edfb6900 data:edfb6942 tail:0xedfb6d84 end:0xedfb6bc0 dev:eth0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:126! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 762 Comm: python Tainted: G W 3.10.0-00015-g3e33cd7 #309 task: edcfe000 ti: ed67e000 task.ti: ed67e000 PC is at skb_panic+0x64/0x70 LR is at wake_up_klogd+0x5c/0x68 This happens because xgmac_change_mtu modifies dev->mtu before the network interface is quiesced. And thus there still might be buffers in use which have a buffer size based on the old MTU. To fix this I moved the change of dev->mtu after the call to xgmac_stop. Another modification is required (in xgmac_stop) to ensure that xgmac_xmit is really not called anymore (xgmac_tx_complete might wake up the queue again). I've tested the fix by switching MTU size every second between 600 and 1500 while network traffic was going on. The test box survived a test of several hours (until I've stopped it) whereas w/o this fix above panic occurs after several minutes (at most). Change since v1: - remove call to netif_stop_queue at beginning of xgmac_stop - use netif_tx_disable instead of locking+netif_stop_queue Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

For each RX/TX ring and its CQ, allocation is done on a NUMA node that corresponds to the core that the data structure should operate on. The assumption is that the core number is reflected by the ring index. The affected allocations are the ring/CQ data structures, the TX/RX info and the shared HW/SW buffer. For TX rings, each core has rings of all UPs.

To guarantee that all unused fields in all FW commands for both inboxes and outboxes are zeroed out, initialize the mailbox buffer to all zeroes. This is especially important for SRIOV comm-channel virtual commands (such as QUERY_FUNC_CAP), where if new fields are added to support new features, the driver can depend on older kernels passing zeroes in these fields. In addition to zeroing out the mailbox buffer at allocation time, all (now unnecessary) calls to memset by the callers of mlx4_alloc_cmd_mailbox() are removed.

John Fastabend says: ==================== l2 hardware accelerated macvlans This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev. The patches here have made it through multiple iterations each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches shown here, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617 Following this implementation I renamed the link type "VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload into the macvlan code. Here, http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658 The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a few fixes. If folks find this series acceptable there are a few items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast will use the hardware even for local traffic with this series. It would be best (I think) to use the software path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series to flush out. Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here. As always any comments/feedback welcome. My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others, Changelog: v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with SRIOV enabled was successful. v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe fixed error path on dfwd_add_station() in ixgbe fixed ixgbe to allow SRIOV and accelerated macvlans to coexist. v4: Dave caught some strange indentation, fixed it here ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Provide a method for read-only access to the vlan device egress mapping. Do this by refactoring vlan_dev_get_egress_qos_mask() such that now it receives as an argument the skb priority instead of pointer to the skb. Such an access is needed for the IBoE stack where the control plane goes through the network stack. This is an add-on step on top of commit d4a96865 "net/route: export symbol ip_tos2prio" which allowed the RDMA-CM to use ip_tos2prio.

If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number' field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does not hold true after the previous patch in this series. A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it is either malicious or buggy. Either way, the correct behavior is now to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number. So, this is what we do in this commit.

Erik Hugne authored
When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer. Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the situation. To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers. Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link, the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it. This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base. Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to eliminate the redundant call.

We used to use a percpu structure vq_index to record the cpu to queue mapping, this is suboptimal since it duplicates the work of XPS and loses all other XPS functionality such as allowing user to configure their own transmission steering strategy. So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when the number of cpus is equal to the number of queues. With XPS support, there's no need for keeping per-cpu vq_index and .ndo_select_queue(), so they were removed also. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael S.

He used the tbf scheduler which skb_gso_segments the skb. The offsets get negative and we panic in memcpy because the skb was erroneously not expanded at the head.
