Define a new function to return the waitqueue of a "struct sock". static inline wait_queue_head_t *sk_sleep(struct sock *sk) { return sk->sk_sleep; } Change all read occurrences of sk_sleep by a call to this function. Needed for a future RCU conversion. sk_sleep wont be a field directly available. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In case we compute a software skb->rxhash, we can generate a consistent hash : Its value will be the same in both flow directions. This helps some workloads, like conntracking, since the same state needs to be accessed in both directions. tbench + RFS + this patch gives better results than tbench with default kernel configuration (no RPS, no RFS) Also fixed some sparse warnings.

struct softnet_data holds many queues, so consistent use "sd" name instead of "queue" is better. Adds a rps_ipi_queued() helper to cleanup enqueue_to_backlog() Adds a _and_irq_disable suffix to net_rps_action() name, as David suggested. incr_input_queue_head() becomes input_queue_head_incr() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if RPS is not active. Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI, but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate. Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code (remove two ifdefs) Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache line, filling an existing hole. In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog() to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

This patch introduces the parity errors handling code for 57710 and 57711 chips. HW is configured to stop all DMA transactions to the host and sending packets to the network once parity error is detected, which is meant to prevent silent data corruption. At the same time HW generates the attention interrupt to every function of the device where parity has been detected so that driver can start the recovery flow. The recovery is actually resetting the chip and restarting the driver on all active functions of the chip where the parity error has been reported.

Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for memory accounting purposes. Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb is freed. When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give tx completion to initial cpu. David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do this, we could do it in upper level. There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can give a hardware or software timestamp. This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit(). "tbench 16" results on a Nehalem machine (2 X5570 @ 2.93GHz) before: Throughput 4428.9 MB/sec 16 procs after: Throughput 4448.14 MB/sec 16 procs UDP should get even better results, its destructor being more complex, since SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set (four atomic ops instead of one) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one packet processed... The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and net_rx_action() already has its own time limit. Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default value. - Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.

Tom Herbert authored
This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS). The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg (or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet, the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table, if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using the RPS mechanisms. The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets-- we consider this a non-starter. To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table. rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above. This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows. rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current" CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry. Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue, the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash entry of the rps_dev_flow_table. And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu) the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU if one of the following is true: - The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU) - Current CPU is offline - The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry. This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery. Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages: 1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2) this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from device napi_poll which is non-reentrant. This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets. It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols. There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The "rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry "rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two. The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the applications processing; this can result in increased performance (higher pps, lower latency). The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is much higher this technique seems to perform very well. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf. e1000e on 8 core Intel No RFS or RPS 104K tps at 30% CPU No RFS (best RPS config): 290K tps at 63% CPU RFS 303K tps at 61% CPU RPC test tps CPU% 50/90/99% usec latency Latency StdDev No RFS/RPS 103K 48% 757/900/3185 4472.35 RPS only: 174K 73% 415/993/2468 491.66 RFS 223K 73% 379/651/1382 315.61 Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The patch to convert struct mfc_cache to list_heads (ipv4: ipmr: convert struct mfc_cache to struct list_head) introduced a bug when adding new cache entries that don't match any unresolved entries. The unres queue is searched for a matching entry, which is then resolved. When no matching entry is present, the iterator points to the head of the list, but is treated as a matching entry. Use a seperate variable to indicate that a matching entry was found. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

The ixgbe driver was setting up 82598 hardware correctly, so that when promiscuous mode was enabled hardware stripping was turned off. But on 82599 the logic to disable/enable hardware stripping is different, and the code was not updated correctly when the hardware vlan stripping was enabled as default. This change comprises the creation of two new helper functions and calling them from the right locations to disable and enable hardware stripping of vlan tags at appropriate times.
