2006-06-23[NET]: Add generic segmentation offloadHerbert Xu
This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload. The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just before the entry point into the NIC driver. The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

2006-06-23[NET]: Prevent transmission after dev_deactivateHerbert Xu
The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of lockless drivers. In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers. With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine of the underlying driver will be made. The idea is simple. There are two entry points in to the xmit routine. The first comes from dev_queue_xmit. That one is easily stopped by using synchronize_rcu. This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc before the synchronize_rcu call. That in turn causes all subsequent packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped. The synchronize_rcu call also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section. The other entry point is from qdisc_run. Since we now have a bit that indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the bit is off. I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear. This is useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again. It is also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run. I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

2006-06-19[NET]: Prevent multiple qdisc runsHerbert Xu
Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued. It appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue lock while transmitting. That in turn is needed for devices that spend a lot of time in their transmit routine. There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a queue). Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered correctly. The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this. BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the new __qdisc_run function.

2006-06-17[NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

In an ideal world we would never have allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world isn't (yet?) ideal. o introduce a new x_tables module o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only wrappers around x_tables provided functions o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/, include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code, gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

2005-11-20[PKT_SCHED]: sch_netem: correctly order packets to be sent simultaneouslyAndrea Bittau
If two packets were queued to be sent at the same time in the future, their order would be reversed. This would occur because the queue is traversed back to front, and a position is found by checking whether the new packet needs to be sent before the packet being examined. If the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it would end up before the old packet in the queue. This patch places packets in the correct order when they are queued to be sent at a same time in the future. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bittau <a.bittau@cs.ucl.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard droppingThomas Graf
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold. This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this option very carefully, it does more harm than good if (qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst cycles. The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.
