2008-10-23net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev featuresHerbert Xu
My change commit e2a6b85247aacc52d6ba0d9b37a99b8d1a3e0d83 net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device. This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions under the new name of netdev_increment_features. It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via ethtool. The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-10-07net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lockHerbert Xu
Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances of the error unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-10-07net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UPPatrick McHardy
Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN device down that is in promiscous mode: When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

2008-09-22net: network device name ifalias supportStephen Hemminger
This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It is just an arbitrary text label on the network device. There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be read/written either via netlink or sysfs. This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

Currently simple_tx_hash is hashing inside of udp fragments. As a result packets are getting getting sent to all queues when they shouldn't be. This causes a serious performance regression which can be seen by sending UDP frames larger than mtu on multiqueue devices.

2008-09-08net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one deviceHerbert Xu
As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding) will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it. This is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par with TSO off. This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports it in hardware. The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication from the host to the guests.

2008-08-19pkt_sched: Prevent livelock in TX queue running.David S. Miller
If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock trying to process that queue. This happens because dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock. This breaks the livelock by adding a check on __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when the trylock fails. Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-08-17pkt_sched: Add 'deactivated' state.David S. Miller
This new state lets dev_deactivate() mark a qdisc as having been deactivated. dev_queue_xmit() and ing_filter() check for this bit and do not try to process the qdisc if the bit is set. dev_deactivate() polls the qdisc after setting the bit, waiting for both __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING and __QDISC_STATE_SCHED to clear. This isn't perfect yet, but subsequent changesets will make it so. This part is just one piece of the puzzle. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-08-03net: use software GSO for SG+CSUM capable netdevicesLennert Buytenhek
If a netdevice does not support hardware GSO, allowing the stack to use GSO anyway and then splitting the GSO skb into MSS-sized pieces as it is handed to the netdevice for transmitting is likely still a win as far as throughput and/or CPU usage are concerned, since it reduces the number of trips through the output path. This patch enables the use of GSO on any netdevice that supports SG. If a GSO skb is then sent to a netdevice that supports SG but does not support hardware GSO, net/core/dev.c:dev_hard_start_xmit() will take care of doing the necessary GSO segmentation in software.

2008-07-30pkt_sched: Fix OOPS on ingress qdisc add.David S. Miller
Bug report from Steven Jan Springl: Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops: tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of ingress qdiscs. So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX qdiscs. Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too. Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL. There are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case that used to exist before this commit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-18pkt_sched: Manage qdisc list inside of root qdisc.David S. Miller
Idea is from Patrick McHardy. Instead of managing the list of qdiscs on the device level, manage it in the root qdisc of a netdev_queue. This solves all kinds of visibility issues during qdisc destruction. The way to iterate over all qdiscs of a netdev_queue is to visit the netdev_queue->qdisc, and then traverse it's list. The only special case is to ignore builting qdiscs at the root when dumping or doing a qdisc_lookup(). That was not needed previously because builtin qdiscs were not added to the device's qdisc_list.

We can simply use the qdisc->q.lock for all of the qdisc tree synchronization. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-17pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.David S. Miller
When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs for multiple transmit queues. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us. Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
