Split assignment and initialization from one into two functions. This is required by followup patches that add Datacenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control algorithm - we need to be able to determine if the connection is moderated by DCTCP before the 3WHS has finished. As we walk the available congestion control list during the assignment, we are always guaranteed to have Reno present as it's fixed compiled-in. Therefore, since we're doing the early assignment, we don't have a real use for the Reno alias tcp_init_congestion_ops anymore and can thus remove it. Actual usage of the congestion control operations are being made after the 3WHS has finished, in some cases however we can access get_info() via diag if implemented, therefore we need to zero out the private area for those modules.

While doing high throughput test on a BQL enabled NIC, I found a very high cost in ndo_start_xmit() when accessing BQL data. It turned out the problem was caused by compiler trying to be smart, but involving a bad MESI transaction : 0.05 │ mov 0xc0(%rax),%edi // LOAD dql->num_queued 0.48 │ mov %edx,0xc8(%rax) // STORE dql->last_obj_cnt = count 58.23 │ add %edx,%edi 0.58 │ cmp %edi,0xc4(%rax) 0.76 │ mov %edi,0xc0(%rax) // STORE dql->num_queued += count 0.72 │ js bd8 I got an incredible 10 % gain [1] by making sure cpu do not attempt to get the cache line in Shared mode, but directly requests for ownership. New code : mov %edx,0xc8(%rax) // STORE dql->last_obj_cnt = count add %edx,0xc0(%rax) // RMW dql->num_queued += count mov 0xc4(%rax),%ecx // LOAD dql->adj_limit mov 0xc0(%rax),%edx // LOAD dql->num_queued cmp %edx,%ecx The TX completion was running from another cpu, with high interrupts rate. Note that I am using barrier() as a soft hint, as mb() here could be too heavy cost. [1] This was a netperf TCP_STREAM with TSO disabled, but GSO enabled. Signed-off-by:

Allow switches driver to query and enable/disable EEE on a per-port basis by implementing the ethtool_{get,set}_eee settings and delegating these operations to the switch driver. set_eee() will need to coordinate with the PHY driver to make sure that EEE is enabled, the link-partner supports it and the auto-negotiation result is satisfactory.

The SF2 switch driver is already architected around per-port enable/disable callbacks, so we just need a slight update to our existing bcm_sf2_port_setup() resp. bcm_sf2_port_disable() functions to be suitable as callbacks for port_enable/port_disable. We need to shuffle a little the code that does the per-port VLAN configuration/isolation since ports can now be brought up/down separately, so we need to make sure that IMP (CPU, management) port is always included in that specific port setup.

Whenever a per-port network device is used/unused, invoke the switch driver port_enable/port_disable callbacks to allow saving as much power as possible by disabling unused parts of the switch (RX/TX logic, memory arrays, PHYs...).

Our goal is to access no more than one cache line access per skb in a write or receive queue when doing the various walks. After recent TCP_SKB_CB() reorganizations, it is almost done. Last part is tcp_skb_pcount() which currently uses skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs, which is a terrible choice, because it needs 3 cache lines in current kernel (skb->head, skb->end, and shinfo->gso_segs are all in 3 different cache lines, far from skb->cb) This very simple patch reuses space currently taken by tcp_tw_isn only in input path, as tcp_skb_pcount is only needed for skb stored in write queue. This considerably speeds up tcp_ack(), granted we avoid shinfo->tx_flags to get SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP, which seems possible. This also speeds up all sack processing in general. This speeds up tcp_sendmsg() because it no longer has to access/dirty shinfo. Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout TCP had the assumption that IPCB and IP6CB are first members of skb->cb[] This is fine, except that IPCB/IP6CB are used in TCP for a very short time in input path. What really matters for TCP stack is to get skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq in the same cache line. skb that are immediately consumed do not care because whole skb->cb[] is hot in cpu cache, while skb that sit in wocket write queue or receive queues do not need TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at all. This patch set implements the prereq for IPv4, IPv6, and TCP to make this possible. This makes TCP more efficient. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues (in order and out of order queues) Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows have either packet drops or packet reorders. We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster in the skb lists. Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path. Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path, and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-23 This patch series adds support for the FM10000 Ethernet switch host interface. The Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch is a 48-port Ethernet switch supporting both Ethernet ports and PCI Express host interfaces. The fm10k driver provides support for the host interface portion of the switch, both PF and VF. As the host interfaces are directly connected to the switch this results in some significant differences versus a standard network driver. For example there is no PHY or MII on the device. Since packets are delivered directly from the switch to the host interface these are unnecessary. Otherwise most of the functionality is very similar to our other network drivers such as ixgbe or igb. For example we support all the standard network offloads, jumbo frames, SR-IOV (64 VFS), PTP, and some VXLAN and NVGRE offloads. v2: converted dev_consume_skb_any() to dev_kfree_skb_any() fix up PTP code based on feedback from the community v3: converted the use of smb_mb__before_clear_bit() to smb_mb__before_atomic() added vmalloc header to patch 15 added prefetch header to patch 16 ==================== Signed-off-by:
