In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info. When cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses on skb fields.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink simulator : - 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz - 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port) - RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0 - rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second) - SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload) - tg3 NIC - 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level. Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part. Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves. All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in __alloc_skb(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We currently have this check as a BUG_ON, which is being hit by people. Previously it was an error with a recalculation if not current, return that code. The BUG_ON was introduced by: commit 3110bef7 Author: Guy Cohen <guy.cohen@intel.com> Date: Tue Sep 9 10:54:54 2008 +0800 iwlwifi: Added support for 3 antennas ... the portion adding the BUG_ON is reverted since we are encountering the error and BUG_ON was created with assumption that error is not encountered.

All distributions enable it, therefore no significant body of users are even testing the driver with it disabled. And making NAPI configurable is heavily discouraged anyways. I left the MSI-X interrupt enabling thing in an "#if 0" block so hopefully someone can debug that and it can get re-enabled. Probably it was just one of the NVIDIA chipset MSI erratas that we work handle these days in the PCI quirks (see drivers/pci/quirks.c and stuff like nvenet_msi_disable()). Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit 4b0b72f7 ( net: speedup udp receive path ) introduced a bug in skb_free_datagram_locked(). We should not skb_orphan() skb if we dont have the guarantee we are the last skb user, this might happen with MSG_PEEK concurrent users. To keep socket locked for the smallest period of time, we split consume_skb() logic, inlined in skb_free_datagram_locked() Reported-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Use correct bit positions in DM_SHARED_CTRL register for writes. Michael Planes recently encountered a 'KY-RS9600 USB-LAN converter', which came with a driver CD containing a Linux driver. This driver turns out to be a copy of dm9601.c with symbols renamed and my copyright stripped. That aside, it did contain 1 functional change in dm_write_shared_word(), and after checking the datasheet the original value was indeed wrong (read versus write bits). On Michaels HW, this change bumps receive speed from ~30KB/s to ~900KB/s. On other devices the difference is less spectacular, but still significant (~30%).

Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500, the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to pppd then the skb data must be read correctly. The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.

In ppp_input(), PPP_PROTO(skb) may refer to invalid data in the skb. If this happens and (proto >= 0xc000 || proto == PPP_CCPFRAG) then the packet is passed directly to pppd. This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear. The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input(). The pull of 2 bytes in ppp_receive_frame() has been removed as it is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Simon Arlott <simon@fire.lp0.eu> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient. Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include a channel variable setting. Note that this can be further improved to start the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID are fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is very useful for debugging session initiation and teardown problems since with this you don't have to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and thus have less data to analyse. Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim "support" aggregation sessions. It will still just transfer the frame, but go through the setup and teardown handshakes.

This driver uses the core orinoco modules for the bulk of the functionality. The low level hermes routines (for local bus cards) are replaced, the driver supplies its own ndo_xmit_start function, and locking is done with the _bh variant. Some recent functionality is not available to the USB cards yet (firmware loading and WPA). Out-of-tree driver originally written by Manuel Estrada Sainz. Thanks to Mark Davis for supplying hardware to test the updates. Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Local bus and USB drivers will need to do locking differently. The original orinoco_usb patches had a boolean variable controlling whether spin_lock_bh was used, or irq based locking. This version provides wrappers for the lock functions and the drivers specify the functions pointers needed. This will introduce a performance penalty, but I'm not expecting it to be noticable.
