Converts dummy network device driver to : - percpu stats - 64bit stats - lockless xmit (NETIF_F_LLTX) - performance features added (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) Signed-off-by:

As tunnel devices are going to be lockless, we need to make sure a misconfigured machine wont enter an infinite loop. Add a percpu variable, and limit to three the number of stacked xmits. Reported-by:

AnyIP is the capability to receive packets and establish incoming connections on IPs we have not explicitly configured on the machine. An example use case is to configure a machine to accept all incoming traffic on eth0, and leave the policy of whether traffic for a given IP should be delivered to the machine up to the load balancer. Can be setup as follows: ip -6 rule from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 200 (in this case for all IPv6 addresses) Signed-off-by:

This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do: ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200 ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200 This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to 10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be configured to make sense out of this. To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the interface which is assigned a given source address for output (dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input interface for matching. This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual addresses. Signed-off-by:

This sets the active numbers of queues on a net device to match another. Signed-off-by:
-
Ben Hutchings authored
For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not the actual number in use. For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues(). Signed-off-by:

sk_attach_filter() and sk_detach_filter() are run with socket locked. Use the appropriate rcu_dereference_protected() instead of blocking BH, and rcu_dereference_bh(). There is no point adding BH prevention and memory barrier. Signed-off-by:

It seems we dont use appropriate refcount increment in an rcu_read_lock() protected section. fib_rule_get() might increment a null refcount and bad things could happen. While fib_nl_delrule() respects an rcu grace period before calling fib_rule_put(), fib_rules_cleanup_ops() calls fib_rule_put() without a grace period. Note : after this patch, we might avoid the synchronize_rcu() call done in fib_nl_delrule() Signed-off-by:

It was not a fix, but at most a cleanup ;) Anyway I forgot the gretap case... [PATCH 2/4 v2] ip_gre: percpu stats accounting Maintain per_cpu tx_bytes, tx_packets, rx_bytes, rx_packets.

Tunnels are going to use percpu for their accounting. They are going to use a new tstats field in net_device. skb_tunnel_rx() is changed to be a wrapper around __skb_tunnel_rx() IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is changed to be a wrapper around __IPTUNNEL_XMIT() Signed-off-by:

Phonet stack assumes the presence of Pipe Controller, either in Modem or on Application Processing Engine user-space for the Pipe data. Nokia Slim Modems like WG2.5 used in ST-Ericsson U8500 platform do not implement Pipe controller in them. This patch adds Pipe Controller implemenation to Phonet stack to support Pipe data over Phonet stack for Nokia Slim Modems. Signed-off-by:

Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call, which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and the unload path. Tested by myself with good results. Signed-off-by:

loopback driver uses dev->ml_priv to store its percpu stats pointer. It uses ugly casts "(void __percpu __force *)" to shut up sparse complains. Define an union to better document we use ml_priv in loopback driver and define a lstats field with appropriate types. Signed-off-by:

__in_dev_get_rtnl(dev_out) is called while RTNL is not held, thus triggers a lockdep fault. At this point, we only perform a raw test of dev_out->ip_ptr being NULL, we dont need to make sure ip_ptr cant changed right after. We can use rcu_dereference_raw() for this. Reported-by:

Instead of having two places were we allocate dev->_rx, introduce netif_alloc_rx_queues() helper and call it only from register_netdevice(), not from alloc_netdev_mq() Goal is to let drivers change dev->num_rx_queues after allocating netdev and before registering it. This also removes a lot of ifdefs in net/core/dev.c Signed-off-by:
