Now that locks have been removed, remove some unnecessary comments and adjust others to reflect reality. Also add a comment to "mode_lock" to describe its current users and give a brief summary why they need it. Signed-off-by:

Now that we have bond->mode_lock, we can remove the state_machine_lock and use it in its place. There're no fast paths requiring the per-port spinlocks so it should be okay to consolidate them into mode_lock. Also move it inside the unbinding function as we don't want to expose mode_lock outside of the specific modes. Suggested-by:

The ALB/TLB specific spinlocks are no longer necessary as we now have bond->mode_lock for this purpose, so convert them and remove them from struct alb_bond_info. Also remove the unneeded lock/unlock functions and use spin_lock/unlock directly. Suggested-by:

curr_slave_lock is now a misleading name, a much better name is mode_lock as it'll be used for each mode's purposes and it's no longer necessary to use a rwlock, a simple spinlock is enough. Suggested-by:

Mostly all users of curr_slave_lock already have RTNL as we've discussed previously so there's no point in using it, the one case where the lock must stay is the 3ad code, in fact it's the only one. It's okay to remove it from bond_do_fail_over_mac() as it's called with RTNL and drops the curr_slave_lock anyway. bond_change_active_slave() is one of the main places where curr_slave_lock was used, it's okay to remove it as all callers use RTNL these days before calling it, that's why we move the ASSERT_RTNL() in the beginning to catch any potential offenders to this rule. The RTNL argument actually applies to all of the places where curr_slave_lock has been removed from in this patch. Also remove the unnecessary bond_deref_active_protected() macro and use rtnl_dereference() instead. Signed-off-by:

First in rlb_teach_disabled_mac_on_primary() it's okay to remove curr_slave_lock as all callers except bond_alb_monitor() already hold RTNL, and in case bond_alb_monitor() is executing we can at most have a period with bad throughput (very unlikely though). In bond_alb_monitor() it's okay to remove the read_lock as the slave list is walked with RCU and the worst that could happen is another transmitter at the same time and thus for a period which currently is 10 seconds (bond_alb.h: BOND_ALB_LP_TICKS). And bond_alb_handle_active_change() is okay because it's always called with RTNL. Removed the ASSERT_RTNL() because it'll be inserted in the parent function in a following patch. Signed-off-by:

Remove the read_lock in bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv() since when the slave is being released its rx_handler is removed before 3ad unbind, so even if packets arrive, they won't see the slave in an inconsistent state. Signed-off-by:

virtqueue_add() populates the virtqueue descriptor table from the sgs given. If it uses an indirect descriptor table, then it puts a single descriptor in the descriptor table pointing to the kmalloc'ed indirect table where the sg is populated. Previously vring_add_indirect() did the allocation and the simple linear layout. We replace that with alloc_indirect() which allocates the indirect table then chains it like the normal descriptor table so we can reuse the core logic. This slows down pktgen by less than 1/2 a percent (which uses direct descriptors), as well as vring_bench, but it's far neater. vring_bench before: 1061485790-1104800648(1.08254e+09+/-6.6e+06)ns vring_bench after: 1125610268-1183528965(1.14172e+09+/-8e+06)ns pktgen before: 787781-796334(793165+/-2.4e+03)pps 365-369(367.5+/-1.2)Mb/sec (365530384-369498976(3.68028e+08+/-1.1e+06)bps) errors: 0 pktgen after: 779988-790404(786391+/-2.5e+03)pps 361-366(364.35+/-1.3)Mb/sec (361914432-366747456(3.64885e+08+/-1.2e+06)bps) errors: 0 Now, if we make force indirect descriptors by turning off any_header_sg in virtio_net.c: pktgen before: 713773-721062(718374+/-2.1e+03)pps 331-334(332.95+/-0.92)Mb/sec (331190672-334572768(3.33325e+08+/-9.6e+05)bps) errors: 0 pktgen after: 710542-719195(714898+/-2.4e+03)pps 329-333(331.15+/-1.1)Mb/sec (329691488-333706480(3.31713e+08+/-1.1e+06)bps) errors: 0 Signed-off-by:

We used to have several callers which just used arrays. They're gone, so we can use sg_next() everywhere, simplifying the code. On my laptop, this slowed down vring_bench by 15%: vring_bench before: 936153354-967745359(9.44739e+08+/-6.1e+06)ns vring_bench after: 1061485790-1104800648(1.08254e+09+/-6.6e+06)ns However, a more realistic test using pktgen on a AMD FX(tm)-8320 saw a few percent improvement: pktgen before: 767390-792966(785159+/-6.5e+03)pps 356-367(363.75+/-2.9)Mb/sec (356068960-367936224(3.64314e+08+/-3e+06)bps) errors: 0 pktgen after: 787781-796334(793165+/-2.4e+03)pps 365-369(367.5+/-1.2)Mb/sec (365530384-369498976(3.68028e+08+/-1.1e+06)bps) errors: 0 Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-12 This series contains updates to e1000, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Mark provide two fixes to reduce compile warnings produce by ixgbe and ixgbevf. Alex provides two patches for ixgbe, first removes the receive buffer allocation at the end of the ixgbe_clean_rx_irq(). The reason for removing this is to avoid the extra latency introduced by the MMIO write. Second patch addresses several issues in the current ixgbe implementation of busy poll sockets. It was possible for frames to be delivered out of order if they were held in GRO, so address this by flushing the GRO buffers before releasing the q_vector back to the idle state. Also, we were having to take a spinlock on changing the state to and from idle, so to resolve this, replaced the state value with an atomic and use atomic_cmpxchg to change the value from idle, and a simple atomic set to restore it back to idle after we have acquired it. This allows us to only use a locked operation on acquiring the vector without a need for a locked operation to release it. Florian Westphal provides several patches for e1000 which does some cleanup and updating of the driver. Moved e1000_tbi_adjust_stats() so that he could make the function static. Added a helper function to deal with the tbi workaround that was located in 2 different Rx clean functions. Added a e1000_rx_buffer struct for use on receive since the transmit and receive have different requirements. Updates e1000 to use napi_gro_frags API. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

John Fastabend says: ==================== net/sched rcu classifiers and tcf This series converts the tcf_proto usage to RCU. This requires updating each classifier individually to handle the new copy/update requirement and also to update the core list traversals. This makes the assumption that updates to the tables are infrequent in comparison to the packet per second being classified. On a 10Gbps running near line rate we can easily produce 12+ million packets per second so IMO this is a reasonable assumption. The updates are serialized by RTNL. I have done some basic testing on this series and do not see any immediate splats or issues. The patch series has been running on my dev systems for a month or so now and I've not seen any issues. Although my configurations are not overly complicated. My test cases at this point cover all the filters with a tight loop to add/remove filters. Some basic estimator tests where I add an estimator to the qdisc and verify the statistics accurate using pktgen. And finally I have a small script to exercise the 'tc actions' interface. Feel free to send me more tests off list and I can run them. This is prep work to drop the qdisc lock with the first target being the ingress qdisc. To be done is making the tc actions RCU safe and statistics per cpu. These patches are in the works. Comments: - Checkpatch is still giving errors on some >80 char lines I know about this. IMO the way to fix this is to restructure the sched code to avoid being so heavily indented. But doing this here bloats the patchset and anyways there are already lots of >80 chars in these files. I would prefer to keep the patches as is but let me know if others think I should fix these and I will. A follow up patch set could restructure the code and fix this throughout the code blocks. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Make cls_u32 classifier safe to run without holding lock. This patch converts statistics that are kept in read section u32_classify into per cpu counters. This patch was tested with a tight u32 filter add/delete loop while generating traffic with pktgen. By running pktgen on vlan devices created on top of a physical device we can hit the qdisc layer correctly. For ingress qdisc's a loopback cable was used. for i in {1..100}; do q=`echo $i%8|bc`; echo -n "u32 tos: iteration $i on queue $q"; tc filter add dev p3p2 parent $p prio $i u32 match ip tos 0x10 0xff \ action skbedit queue_mapping $q; sleep 1; tc filter del dev p3p2 prio $i; echo -n "u32 tos hash table: iteration $i on queue $q"; tc filter add dev p3p2 parent $p protocol ip prio $i handle 628: u32 divisor 1 tc filter add dev p3p2 parent $p protocol ip prio $i u32 \ match ip protocol 17 0xff link 628: offset at 0 mask 0xf00 shift 6 plus 0 tc filter add dev p3p2 parent $p protocol ip prio $i u32 \ ht 628:0 match ip tos 0x10 0xff action skbedit queue_mapping $q sleep 2; tc filter del dev p3p2 prio $i sleep 1; done Signed-off-by: -

Make cgroup classifier safe for RCU. Also drops the calls in the classify routine that were doing a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(). If the rcu_read_lock() isn't held entering this routine we have issues with deleting the classifier chain so remove the unnecessary rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair noting all paths AFAIK hold rcu_read_lock. If there is a case where classify is called without the rcu read lock then an rcu splat will occur and we can correct it. Signed-off-by:

Enable basic classifier for RCU. Dereferencing tp->root may look a bit strange here but it is needed by my accounting because it is allocated at init time and needs to be kfree'd at destroy time. However because it may be referenced in the classify() path we must wait an RCU grace period before free'ing it. We use kfree_rcu() and rcu_ APIs to enforce this. This pattern is used in all the classifiers. Also the hgenerator can be incremented without concern because it is always incremented under RTNL. Signed-off-by:

Add __rcu notation to qdisc handling by doing this we can make smatch output more legible.

Also *wake_queue() API is commonly called from driver timer routines without rcu lock or rtnl lock. So I added rcu_read_lock() blocks around netif_wake_subqueue and netif_tx_wake_queue.

When sending out a burst of packets across multiple descriptors, it is sufficient to send one LDC "start" trigger for the first descriptor, so do not send an LDC "start" for every pass through vnet_start_xmit. Similarly, it is sufficient to send one "DRING_STOPPED" trigger for the last dring (and if that fails, hold off and send the trigger later). Optimizations to the number of LDC messages helps avoid filling up the LDC channel with superfluous LDC messages that risk triggering flow-control on the channel, and also boosts performance.

Commit 2abb7cdc ("udp: Add support for doing checksum unnecessary conversion") caused napi_gro_cb structs with the "flush" field zero to take the "udp_gro_receive" path rather than the "set flush to 1" path that they would previously take. As a result I saw booting from an NFS root hang shortly after starting userspace, with "server not responding" messages. This change to the handling of "flush == 0" packets appears to be incidental to the goal of adding new code in the case where skb_gro_checksum_validate_zero_check() returns zero. Based on that and the fact that it breaks things, I'm assuming that it is unintentional.
