In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between 'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net". 'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while loopback_dev might be often read in routing code. Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net" Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP. (It contains a "struct dst_ops") Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128 bytes on ia32. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

As CWR is stronger than CA_Disorder state, we can miscount SACK/Reno failure into other timeouts. Not a bad problem as it can happen only due to ECN, FRTO detecting spurious RTO or xmit error which are the only callers of tcp_enter_cwr. And even then losses and RTO must still follow thereafter to actually end up into the relevant code paths. Compile tested.

While doing profile analysis, I found fib_hash_table was sometime in a cache line shared by a possibly often written kernel structure. (CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH || !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES) It's hard to detect because not easily reproductible. Make sure we allocate a full cache line to keep this shared in all cpus caches.

commit b30973f8 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb" Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing this copy.

Remove a DCB check config from DCB configuration we continue to configure DCB even if it fails so don't even bother to check. Plus user space (lldpad) checks this before programming the hw anyways. Worse case is we program some values into the hw that don't make total sense resulting in incorrect bandwidth allocation.

During cnic shutdown, the original driver code requires userspace to close the uio device within a few seconds. This doesn't always happen as the userapp may be hung or otherwise take a long time to close. The system may crash when this happens. We fix the problem by decoupling the uio structures from the cnic structures during cnic shutdown. We do not unregister the uio device until the cnic driver is unloaded. This eliminates the unreliable wait loop for uio to close. All uio structures are kept in a linked list. If the device is shutdown and later brought back up again, the uio strcture will be found in the linked list and coupled back to the cnic structures.

The bnx2x devices require a 2 second quiet time before sending the last RAMROD command to destroy a connection. This sleep wait adds up to a long delay when iscsid is serially destroying maultiple connections. Create a workqueue to perform the final connection cleanup in the background to speed up the process. This significantly speeds up the process as the wait time can be done in parallel for multiple connections. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers, mmap af_packet) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.
