      net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst · 27b75c95
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

Stress test, 160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled
(DDOS).

Before:

real    0m38.091s
user    0m13.189s
sys     7m53.018s

After:

real	0m29.946s
user	0m12.157s
sys	7m40.605s

For reference, if IP route cache was enabled :

real	0m32.030s
user	0m10.521s
sys	8m15.243s

      net: allocate tx queues in register_netdevice · e6484930
      Tom Herbert authored 
      This patch introduces netif_alloc_netdev_queues which is called from
register_device instead of alloc_netdev_mq.  This makes TX queue
allocation symmetric with RX allocation.  Also, queue locks allocation
is done in netdev_init_one_queue.  Change set_real_num_tx_queues to
fail if requested number < 1 or greater than number of allocated
queues.

      Clean up in RX queue allocation.  In netif_set_real_num_rx_queues
return error on attempt to set zero queues, or requested number is
greater than number of allocated queues.  In netif_alloc_rx_queues,
do BUG_ON if queue_count is zero.

      netpoll: Revert napi_poll fix for bonding driver · f13d493d
      Neil Horman authored 
      In an erlier patch I modified napi_poll so that devices with IFF_MASTER polled
the per_cpu list instead of the device list for napi.  I did this because the
bonding driver has no napi instances to poll, it instead expects to check the
slave devices napi instances, which napi_poll was unaware of.  Looking at this
more closely however, I now see this isn't strictly needed.  As the bond driver
poll_controller calls the slaves poll_controller via netpoll_poll_dev, which
recursively calls poll_napi on each slave, allowing those napi instances to get
serviced.  The earlier patch isn't at all harmfull, its just not needed, so lets
revert it to make the code cleaner.  Sorry for the noise,

 ---[ end trace 1395ad691cea24d1 ]---

It occurs because of my recent netpoll blocking patches, which I added to avoid
recursive deadlock in the bonding driver.  It relies on some per cpu bits, but
the shutdown path forces some rescheduling as we cancel workqueues for the
driver and wait for some device refcounts.  If after the forced reschedule, we
wind up on a different cpu we trigger the bughalt in unblock_netpoll_tx.

The fix is to remove the netpoll block/unblock calls from bond_release_all.
This is safe to do because bond_uninit, which is called via ndo_uninit in
rollback_registered_many, doesn't occur until we send a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event,
which triggers netconsole to remove us as a netpoll client, so we are guaranteed
not to recurse into our own tx path here.
