When underlying phy driver restores its state very fast after being brought down and up so that macb driver function macb_handle_link_change() was never called with link state "down", driver's internal representation of phy speed and duplex (bp->speed and bp->duplex) didn't change. So, macb driver sees no reason to perform actual write to the NCFGR register, although the speed and duplex settings in that register were reset when interface was brought down and up. In that case actual phy speed and duplex differ from NCFGR settings. The patch fixes that by keeping internal driver representation of speed and duplex in sync with actual content of NCFGR.

Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc" userspace program, which has the following issue: The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths to token (time units). With TSO sized packets, the 256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate, making the token bucket inaccurate. Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet transmission times with nanosecond granularity. This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide range of packet sizes. Example: tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \ htb default 1 tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \ rate 5Gbit mtu 64k Here is an example of inaccuracy: $ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1 With old htb: eth4: 34.76 Mb/s In 5827.98 Mb/s Out - 65836.0 p/s In 481273.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 669 MBytes 5.61 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.50 GBytes 5.58 Gbits/sec With new htb: eth4: 28.36 Mb/s In 5208.06 Mb/s Out - 53704.0 p/s In 430076.0 p/s Out [SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 594 MBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 5.80 GBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used. But that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted. Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for review and feedback. Signed-off-by:Vimalkumar <j.vimal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

Add Ethertype 0x4305 (not an officially registered id). This Ethertype is used by every frame generated by B.A.T.M.A.N.-Advanced. Its definition is currently batman-adv local only and since it is not officially registered it is better to make its definition kernel-wide so that we avoid collisions given by future unofficial uses of the same Ethertype.

Lots of points in the sctp_cmd_interpreter function treat the sctp_cmd_t arg as a void pointer, even though they are written as various other types. Theres no need for this as doing so just leads to possible type-punning issues that could cause crashes, and if we remain type-consistent we can actually just remove the void * member of the union entirely. Change Notes: v2) * Dropped chunk that modified SCTP_NULL to create a marker pattern should anyone try to use a SCTP_NULL() assigned sctp_arg_t, Assigning to .zero provides the same effect and should be faster, per Vlad Y. v3) * Reverted part of V2, opting to use memset instead of .zero, so that the entire union is initalized thus avoiding the i164 speculative load problems previously encountered, per Dave M.. Also rewrote SCTP_[NO]FORCE so as to use common infrastructure a little more Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com CC: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@gmail.com> CC: "David S.

Some years ago, the ktime_t helper functions ktime_now() and ktime_lt() have been introduced. Instead of defining them inside pktgen.c, they should either use ktime_t library functions or, if not available, they should be defined in ktime.h, so that also others can benefit from them. ktime_compare() is introduced with a similar notion as in timespec_compare().

For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility, we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers while no SYNACK is sent. SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost) TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary retransmits. Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields : num_retrans : number of retransmit num_timeout : number of timeouts num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout, regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to compute the exponential timeout. Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded. Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN. Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits. Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS only if a synack packet was successfully queued. Reported-by:

Commit e5a55a89 ('net: create generic bridge ops') broke the handling of a non-zero starting index in rtnl_bridge_getlink() (based on the old br_dump_ifinfo()). When the starting index is non-zero, we need to increment the current index for each entry that we are skipping. Also, we need to check the index before both cases, since we may previously have stopped iteration between getting information about a device from its master and from itself. Signed-off-by:

Even when vhost-net is in zero-copy transmit mode, net core might still decide to copy the skb later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context: data copy overhead is added to the cost of page pin/unpin. The result is that enabling tx zero copy option leads to higher CPU utilization for guest to guest and guest to host traffic. To fix this, suppress zero copy tx after a given number of packets triggered late data copy. Re-enable periodically to detect workload changes. Signed-off-by:

When tun transmits a zero copy skb, it orphans the frags which might need to allocate extra memory, in atomic context. If that fails, notify ubufs callback before freeing the skb as a hint that device should disable zerocopy mode. Signed-off-by:

Michael S. Tsirkin authored
Orphaning frags for zero copy skbs needs to allocate data in atomic context so is has a chance to fail. If it does we currently discard the skb which is safe, but we don't report anything to the caller, so it can not recover by e.g. disabling zero copy. Add an API to free skb reporting such errors: this is used by tun in case orphaning frags fails. Signed-off-by:

Even if skb is marked for zero copy, net core might still decide to copy it later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context: besides copying the data we need to pin/unpin the pages. Add a parameter reporting such cases through zero copy callback: if this happens a lot, device can take this into account and switch to copying in user context. This patch updates all users but ignores the passed value for now: it will be used by follow-up patches. Signed-off-by:
