Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed that it would be nice to handle NET_XMIT_BYPASS by NET_XMIT_SUCCESS with an internal qdisc flag __NET_XMIT_BYPASS and to remove the mapping from dev_queue_xmit().

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.

2008-08-03net: fix missing pneigh entries in the neighbor seq_file codeChris Larson
When pneigh entries exist, but the user's read buffer isn't sufficient to hold them all, one of the pneigh entries will be missing from the results. In neigh_get_idx_any, the number of elements which neigh_get_idx encountered is not correctly subtracted from the position number before the call to pneigh_get_idx. neigh_get_idx reduces the position by 1 for each call to neigh_get_next, but it does not reduce it by one for the first element (neigh_get_first). The patch alters the neigh_get_idx and pneigh_get_idx functions to subtract one from pos, for the first element, when pos is non-zero.

2008-08-02pkt_sched: Use qdisc_lock() on already sampled root qdisc.David S. Miller
Based upon a bug report by Jeff Kirsher. Don't use qdisc_root_lock() in these cases as the root qdisc could have been changed, and we'd thus lock the wrong object. Tested by Emil S Tantilov who confirms that this seems to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-31netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.David S. Miller
When support for multiple TX queues were added, the netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock. This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways. So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen" state for the individual TX queues.

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>
2008-07-29mac80211: partially fix skb->cb useJohannes Berg
This patch fixes mac80211 to not use the skb->cb over the queue step from virtual interfaces to the master. The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch. There are two other places (software requeue and powersaving stations) where requeue can happen, but that is not currently used by any drivers/not possible to use respectively.

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.

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>

2008-07-17netdev: Add netdev->select_queue() method.David S. Miller
Devices or device layers can set this to control the queue selection performed by dev_pick_tx(). This function runs under RCU protection, which allows overriding functions to have some way of synchronizing with things like dynamic ->real_num_tx_queues adjustments. This makes the spinlock prefetch in dev_queue_xmit() a little bit less effective, but that's the price right now for correctness. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-16core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cacheNeil Horman
in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3 skbs. If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb. This results in a drop for which we have no statistics incremented.

Use a real skb member to store the skb to avoid clashes with qdiscs, which are allowed to use the cb area themselves. As currently only real devices that consume the skb set the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX flag, no explicit invalidation is neccessary. The new member fills a hole on 64 bit, the skb layout changes from: __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 176 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t mac_header; /* 184 4 */ sk_buff_data_t tail; /* 188 4 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */ sk_buff_data_t end; /* 192 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ to __u32 mark; /* 172 4 */ __u16 vlan_tci; /* 176 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ sk_buff_data_t transport_header; /* 180 4 */ sk_buff_data_t network_header; /* 184 4 */ Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
