This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same way as the upper list. It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch. There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent list, the simplest would be: /---- eth0.10 ---\ eth0- --- bond0 \---- eth0.20 ---/ where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times. To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as the number of times the device was added to the list. The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic. I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces. Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be: 128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to ixgbe. Jacob provides a fix for 82599 devices where it can potentially keep link lights up when the adapter has gone down. Mark provides a fix to resolve the possible use of uninitialized memory by checking the return value on EEPROM reads. Don provides 2 patches, one to fix a issue where we were traversing the Tx ring with the value of IXGBE_NUM_RX_QUEUES which currently happens to have the correct value but this is misleading. A change later, could easily make this no longer correct so when traversing the Tx ring, use netdev->num_tx_queues. His second patch does some minor clean ups of log messages. Emil provides the remaining ixgbe patches. First he fixes the link test where forcing the laser before the link check can lead to inconsistent results because it does not guarantee that the link will be negotiated correctly. Then he initializes the message buffer array to 0 in order to avoid using random numbers from the memory as a MAC address for the VF. Emil also fixes the read loop for the I2C data to account for the offset for SFP+ modules. Lastly, Emil provides several patches to add support for QSFP modules where 1Gbps support is added as well as support for older QSFP active direct attach cables which pre-date SFF-8436 v3.6. v2: Fixed patch 4 description and added blank line based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet authored
After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Some slave devices may have set a dev->needed_headroom value which is different than the default one, most likely in order to prepend a hardware descriptor in front of the Ethernet frame to send.

This function checks the upper bound but it doesn't check for negative numbers: if (txq > QLCNIC_MAX_TX_RINGS) { I've solved this by making "txq" a u32 type.

This model - provides better scheduling fairness among vifs - is prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen network driver The second patch has the real meat: - make use of NAPI to mitigate interrupt - kthreads are not bound to CPUs any more, so that we can take advantage of backend scheduler and trust it to do the right thing Benchmark is done on a Dell T3400 workstation with 4 cores, running 4 DomUs. Netserver runs in Dom0.

This patch implements 1:1 model netback. NAPI and kthread are utilized to do the weight-lifting job: - NAPI is used for guest side TX (host side RX) - kthread is used for guest side RX (host side TX) Xenvif and xen_netbk are made into one structure to reduce code size. This model provides better scheduling fairness among vifs. It is also prerequisite for implementing multiqueue for Xen netback.

The skb priority field may help the wireless driver to choose the right queue (e.g. WMM queues). This should be set in batman-adv, as this information is only available here. This patch adds support for IPv4/IPv6 DS fields and VLAN PCP. Note that only VLAN PCP is used if a VLAN header is present. Also initially set TC_PRIO_CONTROL only for self-generated packets, and keep the priority set by higher layers.

Patrick McHardy authored
Add a SYNPROXY for netfilter. The code is split into two parts, the synproxy core with common functions and an address family specific target. The SYNPROXY receives the connection request from the client, responds with a SYN/ACK containing a SYN cookie and announcing a zero window and checks whether the final ACK from the client contains a valid cookie. It then establishes a connection to the original destination and, if successful, sends a window update to the client with the window size announced by the server. Support for timestamps, SACK, window scaling and MSS options can be statically configured as target parameters if the features of the server are known. If timestamps are used, the timestamp value sent back to the client in the SYN/ACK will be different from the real timestamp of the server. In order to now break PAWS, the timestamps are translated in the direction server->client.
