* net: Potential null skb->dev dereferenceEric Dumazet2010-04-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 0641e4fbf2f824faee00ea74c459a088d94905fd ] When doing "ifenslave -d bond0 eth0", there is chance to get NULL dereference in netif_receive_skb(), because dev->master suddenly becomes NULL after we tested it. We should use ACCESS_ONCE() to avoid this (or rcu_dereference()) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit caf66e581172dc5032bb84841a91bc7b77ad9876 upstream. In "wireless: remove WLAN_80211 and WLAN_PRE80211 from Kconfig" I inadvertantly missed a line in include/linux/netdevice.h. I thereby effectively reverted "net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless." by accident. :-( Now we should check there for CONFIG_WLAN instead. Signed-off-by: John W.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105 real 0m0.266s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s real 0m0.770s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s real 0m1.022s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s 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).

* net: Optimize hard_start_xmit() return checkingJarek Poplawski2009-11-151-12/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values. After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h. Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

* net: allow to propagate errors through ->ndo_hard_start_xmit()Patrick McHardy2009-11-131-11/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels. This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value. In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

| * bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua2009-09-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

* net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devicesMarcel Holtmann2009-09-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace application it is important to classify these devices correctly and not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid. To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available within udev. # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent DEVTYPE=wlan INTERFACE=wlan0 IFINDEX=5 This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc. The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_apiPatrick McHardy2009-09-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to net_device_ops so the corresponding HW can initialize itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is done. This is expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving a request for creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface. When implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

When you put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local. But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong. Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge. *** When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous solution but tweaked one. This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code. For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set" previously in eth_type_trans(). I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave list (v4 of this patch).

* gro: Avoid unnecessary comparison after skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu2009-05-271-9/+14
| | | | | | | | | | For the overwhelming majority of cases, skb_gro_header's return value cannot be NULL. Yet we must check it because of its current form.

* gro: Optimise length comparison in skb_gro_headerHerbert Xu2009-05-271-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | By caching frag0_len, we can avoid checking both frag0 and the length separately in skb_gro_header. This helps as skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which amounts to a few million times at 10Gb/s. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* gro: Only use skb_gro_header for completely non-linear packetsHerbert Xu2009-05-271-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets, we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0 optimisation for completely non-linear packets. In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen) to see whether the optimisation is in force. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* gro: Inline skb_gro_header and cache frag0 virtual addressHerbert Xu2009-05-271-7/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The function skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which quickly adds up at 10Gb/s. This patch inlines it to allow better optimisations. Some architectures perform multiplication for page_address, which is done by each skb_gro_header invocation. This patch caches that value in skb->cb to avoid the unnecessary multiplications.

* net: txq_trans_update() helperEric Dumazet2009-05-251-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We would like to get rid of netdev->trans_start = jiffies; that about all net drivers have to use in their start_xmit() function, and use txq->trans_start instead. This can be done generically in core network, as suggested by David. Some devices, (particularly loopback) dont need trans_start update, because they dont have transmit watchdog. We could add a new device flag, or rely on fact that txq->tran_start can be updated is txq->xmit_lock_owner is different than -1. Use a helper function to hide our choice.

(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only) Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and counters updates will then be free (no increase in size) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: tx scalability works : trans_startEric Dumazet2009-05-171-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks. But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for free. We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start. Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
