Stop taking the transmit lock when a network device has specified NETIF_F_LLTX. If no locks needed to trasnmit a packet this is the ideal scenario for netpoll as all packets can be trasnmitted immediately. Even if some locks are needed in ndo_start_xmit skipping any unnecessary serialization is desirable for netpoll as it makes it more likely a debugging packet may be trasnmitted immediately instead of being deferred until later.

Remove the assumption that the skbs that make it to netpoll_send_skb_on_dev are allocated with find_skb, such that skb->users == 1 and nothing is attached that would prevent the skbs from being freed from hard irq context. Remove this assumption by replacing __kfree_skb on error paths with dev_kfree_skb_irq (in hard irq context) and kfree_skb (in process context). Signed-off-by:

The netpoll_rx_enable and netpoll_rx_disable functions have always controlled polling the network drivers transmit and receive queues. Rename them to netpoll_poll_enable and netpoll_poll_disable to make their functionality clear. Signed-off-by:

Eric W. Biederman authored
Today netpoll_rx_enable and netpoll_rx_disable are called from dev_close and and __dev_close, and not from dev_close_many. Move the calls into __dev_close_many so that we have a single call site to maintain, and so that dev_close_many gains this protection as well. Which importantly makes batched network device deletes safe. Signed-off-by:

Factor out the code that needs to surround ndo_start_xmit from netpoll_send_skb_on_dev into netpoll_start_xmit. It is an unfortunate fact that as the netpoll code has been maintained the primary call site ndo_start_xmit learned how to handle vlans and timestamps but the second call of ndo_start_xmit in queue_process did not. With the introduction of netpoll_start_xmit this associated logic now happens at both call sites of ndo_start_xmit and should make it easy for that to continue into the future. Signed-off-by:

The gfp parameter was added in: commit 47be03a2 Author: Amerigo Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Date: Fri Aug 10 01:24:37 2012 +0000 netpoll: use GFP_ATOMIC in slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() may be called with read_lock() held, so should use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate memory. Eric suggested to pass gfp flags to __netpoll_setup(). Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Reported-by:

The mvneta driver currently uses of_iomap(), which has two drawbacks: it doesn't request the resource, and it isn't devm-style so some error handling is needed. This commit switches to use devm_ioremap_resource() instead, which automatically requests the resource (so the I/O registers region shows up properly in /proc/iomem), and also is devm-style, which allows to get rid of some error handling to unmap the I/O registers region.

Dropping packets in __dev_queue_xmit() when transmit queue is stopped (NIC TX ring buffer full or BQL limit reached) currently outputs a syslog message. It would be better to get a precise count of such events available in netdevice stats so that monitoring tools can have a clue. This extends the work done in caf586e5 ("net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter") Signed-off-by:

Quite often it can be useful to test with dummy or similar devices as a blackhole sink for skbs. Such devices are only equipped with a single txq, but marked as NETIF_F_LLTX as they do not require locking their internal queues on xmit (or implement locking themselves). Therefore, rather use HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will be respected. trafgen mmap/TX_RING example against dummy device with config foo: { fill(0xff, 64) } results in the following performance improvements for such scenarios on an ordinary Core i7/2.80GHz: Before: Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i foo -o du0 -n100000000' (10 runs): 160,975,944,159 instructions:k # 0.55 insns per cycle ( +- 0.09% ) 293,319,390,278 cycles:k # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.35% ) 192,501,104 branch-misses:k ( +- 1.63% ) 831 context-switches:k ( +- 9.18% ) 7 cpu-migrations:k ( +- 7.40% ) 69,382 cache-misses:k # 0.010 % of all cache refs ( +- 2.18% ) 671,552,021 cache-references:k ( +- 1.29% ) 22.856401569 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.33% ) After: Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i foo -o du0 -n100000000' (10 runs): 133,788,739,692 instructions:k # 0.92 insns per cycle ( +- 0.06% ) 145,853,213,256 cycles:k # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.17% ) 59,867,100 branch-misses:k ( +- 4.72% ) 384 context-switches:k ( +- 3.76% ) 6 cpu-migrations:k ( +- 6.28% ) 70,304 cache-misses:k # 0.077 % of all cache refs ( +- 1.73% ) 90,879,408 cache-references:k ( +- 1.35% ) 11.719372413 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.24% ) Signed-off-by:Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

As in xmit path we merely update statistics and free the skb, we can mark the device with LLTX feature, so that upper layers can avoid taking the single txq lock on xmit. While at it, also add missing NETIF_F_SG. Signed-off-by:

The pm_rumtime work queue is causing the device to be suspended during initialisation, thus the initialisation may not be able to access registers properly. As the code is called from a work queue, it is possible that this is not seen from certain configurations/builds due to the asynchronos nature of the code. Another issue has also been found where the network device registration calls back into the driver thus causing further pm_runtime calls that also caused issues with the MDIO bus code. This has now been checked and is the only place the MDIO can be called without the device open. Use pm_runtime_get_sync() and pm_runtime_put() to ensure that the pm system does not suspend it during the probe() call and remove the now unnecessary pm_runtime_resume() call. Also add a call in the error path to call pm_runtime_disable(). This fixes the external abort that can cause /sbin/init or other such init processed to die. Signed-off-by:

Erik Hugne says: ==================== tipc: fix handling of NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event Aside from manual reconfiguration of the netdevice hwaddr, this can also be changed automatically for an interface bond in active-backup mode if fail_over_mac is enabled. This patchset fixes the handling of this event in TIPC by properly updating the l2 media address for the bearer, followed by a reinitialization of the node discovery mechanism. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Erik Hugne authored
The node discovery domain is assigned when a bearer is enabled. In the previous commit we reflect this attribute directly in the bearer structure since it's needed to reinitialize the node discovery mechanism after a hardware address change. There's no need to replicate this attribute anywhere else, so we remove it from the tipc_link_req structure. Signed-off-by:

If the hardware address of a underlying netdevice is changed, it is not enough to simply reset the bearer/links over this device. We also need to reflect this change in the TIPC bearer and node discovery structures aswell. This patch adds the necessary reinitialization of the node disovery mechanism following a hardware address change so that the correct originating media address is advertised in the discovery messages.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to e1000e, igb, i40e and i40evf Anjali provides i40e fix to remove the ATR filter on RST as well as FIN packets. Cleans up add_del_fdir() because it was used and implemented only for the add, so change the name and drop a parameter. Adds the ability to drop a flow if we wanted to and adds a flow director message level to be used for flow director specific messages. Mitch fixes an issue on i40evf where the Tx watchdog handler was causing an oops when sending an admin queue message to request a reset because the admin queue functions use spinlocks. Greg provides a change to i40e to make the alloc and free queue vector calls orthogonal. Shannon fixes i40e to verify the eeprom checksum and firmware CRC status bits, and shutdown the driver if they fail. This change stops the processing of traffic, but does not kill the PF netdev so that the NVMUpdate process still has a chance at fixing the image. Also provides a fix to make sure the VSI has a netdev before trying to use it in the debugfs netdev_ops commands. Jakub Kicinski provides patches for e1000e and igb to fix a number issues found in the PTP code. v2: - drop patch 11 "i40e: Add a fallback debug flow for the driver" from the series based on feedback from David Miller ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Sathya Perla says: ==================== be2net: add vxlan offload support The first patch adds the FW cmds needed to configure the Skyhawk-R chip for supporting VxLAN offloads. The second patch implements the ndo_add/del_vxlan_port() methods and the plumbing for supporting RX/TX csum, TSO and RSS steering offloads for VxLAN traffic. v2 changes: NETIF_F_SG need not be set for hw_enc_features by the driver as it is done by the stack. v3 changes: * Defer FW cmds needed for VxLAN offloads to a workqueue * Reset FW to VxLAN offloads disabled state in the unload path v4 changes: * Revert the usage of workqueue (introduced in v3) to implement ndo_add/del_vxlan_port() as it is currently not needed (none of the FW cmd calls sleep.)

This patch adds support for the FW cmds needed for VxLAN offloads on Skyhawk-R: 1) The VxLAN UDP port needs to be configured via the port-desc of SET_PROFILE_CONFIG_v1 cmd. This patch re-factors the be_set_profile_config() code (used so far only for setting VF QoS) to be used to set any type of descriptor. 2) The MANAGE_IFACE_FILTERS cmds is needed to convert a normal interface into a tunnel interface. This allows for RSS to work even on the inner TCP/UDP headers of VxLAN traffic. Signed-off-by:
