This helps some workloads, like conntracking, since the same state needs
to be accessed in both directions.

Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for
memory accounting purposes.
Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb
is freed.
When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this
forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give
tx completion to initial cpu.
David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call
to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning
skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do
this, we could do it in upper level.
There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx
timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can
give a hardware or software timestamp.
This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions
to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().

- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since
other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one
packet processed...
The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and
net_rx_action() already has its own time limit.
Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default
value.

This patch implements receive flow steering (RFS). RFS steers
received packets for layer 3 and 4 processing to the CPU where
the application for the corresponding flow is running. RFS is an
extension of Receive Packet Steering (RPS).
The basic idea of RFS is that when an application calls recvmsg
(or sendmsg) the application's running CPU is stored in a hash
table that is indexed by the connection's rxhash which is stored in
the socket structure. The rxhash is passed in skb's received on
the connection from netif_receive_skb. For each received packet,
the associated rxhash is used to look up the CPU in the hash table,
if a valid CPU is set then the packet is steered to that CPU using
the RPS mechanisms.
The convolution of the simple approach is that it would potentially
allow OOO packets. If threads are thrashing around CPUs or multiple
threads are trying to read from the same sockets, a quickly changing
CPU value in the hash table could cause rampant OOO packets--
we consider this a non-starter.
To avoid OOO packets, this solution implements two types of hash
tables: rps_sock_flow_table and rps_dev_flow_table.
rps_sock_table is a global hash table. Each entry is just a CPU
number and it is populated in recvmsg and sendmsg as described above.
This table contains the "desired" CPUs for flows.
rps_dev_flow_table is specific to each device queue. Each entry
contains a CPU and a tail queue counter. The CPU is the "current"
CPU for a matching flow. The tail queue counter holds the value
of a tail queue counter for the associated CPU's backlog queue at
the time of last enqueue for a flow matching the entry.
Each backlog queue has a queue head counter which is incremented
on dequeue, and so a queue tail counter is computed as queue head
count + queue length. When a packet is enqueued on a backlog queue,
the current value of the queue tail counter is saved in the hash
entry of the rps_dev_flow_table.
And now the trick: when selecting the CPU for RPS (get_rps_cpu)
the rps_sock_flow table and the rps_dev_flow table for the RX queue
are consulted. When the desired CPU for the flow (found in the
rps_sock_flow table) does not match the current CPU (found in the
rps_dev_flow table), the current CPU is changed to the desired CPU
if one of the following is true:
- The current CPU is unset (equal to RPS_NO_CPU)
- Current CPU is offline
- The current CPU's queue head counter >= queue tail counter in the
rps_dev_flow table. This checks if the queue tail has advanced
beyond the last packet that was enqueued using this table entry.
This guarantees that all packets queued using this entry have been
dequeued, thus preserving in order delivery.
Making each queue have its own rps_dev_flow table has two advantages:
1) the tail queue counters will be written on each receive, so
keeping the table local to interrupting CPU s good for locality. 2)
this allows lockless access to the table-- the CPU number and queue
tail counter need to be accessed together under mutual exclusion
from netif_receive_skb, we assume that this is only called from
device napi_poll which is non-reentrant.
This patch implements RFS for TCP and connected UDP sockets.
It should be usable for other flow oriented protocols.
There are two configuration parameters for RFS. The
"rps_flow_entries" kernel init parameter sets the number of
entries in the rps_sock_flow_table, the per rxqueue sysfs entry
"rps_flow_cnt" contains the number of entries in the rps_dev_flow
table for the rxqueue. Both are rounded to power of two.
The obvious benefit of RFS (over just RPS) is that it achieves
CPU locality between the receive processing for a flow and the
applications processing; this can result in increased performance
(higher pps, lower latency).
The benefits of RFS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application
load, and other factors. On simple benchmarks, we don't necessarily
see improvement and sometimes see degradation. However, for more
complex benchmarks and for applications where cache pressure is
much higher this technique seems to perform very well.
Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR
test with 1 byte req. and resp. The RPC test is an request/response
test similar in structure to netperf RR test ith 100 threads on
each host, but does more work in userspace that netperf.

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this

sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst

This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

Robert Hancock pointed out two problems about NETIF_F_HIGHDMA:
-Many drivers only set the flag when they detect they can use 64-bit DMA,
since otherwise they could receive DMA addresses that they can't handle
(which on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB support is fatal). This means that if
64-bit support isn't available, even buffers located below 4GB will get copied
unnecessarily.
-Some drivers set the flag even though they can't actually handle 64-bit DMA,
which would mean that on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB they would get a DMA
mapping error if the memory they received happened to be located above 4GB.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
a new call. Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
from ->get_sset_count().

We got system OOM while running some UDP netperf testing on the loopback
device. The case is multiple senders sent stream UDP packets to a single
receiver via loopback on local host. Of course, the receiver is not able
to handle all the packets in time. But we surprisingly found that these
packets were not discarded due to the receiver's sk->sk_rcvbuf limit.
Instead, they are kept queuing to sk->sk_backlog and finally ate up all
the memory. We believe this is a secure hole that a none privileged user
can crash the system.
The root cause for this problem is, when the receiver is doing
__release_sock() (i.e. after userspace recv, kernel udp_recvmsg ->
skb_free_datagram_locked -> release_sock), it moves skbs from backlog to
sk_receive_queue with the softirq enabled. In the above case, multiple
busy senders will almost make it an endless loop. The skbs in the
backlog end up eat all the system memory.
The issue is not only for UDP. Any protocols using socket backlog is
potentially affected. The patch adds limit for socket backlog so that
the backlog size cannot be expanded endlessly.

Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though
rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING

rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes

Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to
perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice
notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications
until the device has been fully configured.
This changes ordering of some operations, in particular:
- netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed.
As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when
the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously.
- The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked
after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged.
- net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead
of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX
are already shut down at this point.

The rcu_dereference() in __sk_free() is protected by the fact

Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.
I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan

The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.
This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number. Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.

This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804ac. The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.
The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.

I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access
files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet.
The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of
register_netdevice().
When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK
events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK
events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK. Things practically guaranteed
to confuse userspace.
After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to
be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering
unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages.
rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and
NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace
notifications.

Fix two problems:
1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
are leaked/unregistered.
2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
processed.
Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
free. Usage count = 1")
2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
during subsequent registration.
Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.

net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule
Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
with a priority of 0.
Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:
# move local rule to lower priority
ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
ip rule del pref 0
# route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
# of the destination address
ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100

To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk
device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code. When
using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net
it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called
as the device uninit methods are no longer safe.
To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data
I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into
the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after
all of the network namespace exit routines have run.
Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size
in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace
data to be managed for you automatically.
This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and
register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment
I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h
They will be removed once all of the users have been updated.

It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once. Either
because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating
in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic
does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing
together.
To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be
removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added
a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches
up all remaining network devices and deletes them.
An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size
of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct
with a list_head.
In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of
a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds
(at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge.

The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
once per namespace.
For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
unregistered last.
Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final
synchronize_net.

Solution to this problem is to use a odevname field (includes @ tag and suffix),
instead of using netdevice name.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?
In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.
[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :
vlan_dev_stop() ->
netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
dev_hold() ...
And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...
A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.
dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).
After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105
