As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of net namespace, they can communicate with each other only when they in the same net namespace. this works well until we try to add namespace support for other subsystems which use netlink. Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to user namespace. So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets in same user namespace can communicate with each other. This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can communicate with each other through this netlink_table self-defined compare function. The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare function for netlink_table. Signed-off-by: Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Serge E.

Vlad Yasevich says: ==================== The following series adds 2 new flags to bridge. One flag allows the user to control whether mac learning is performed on the interface or not. By default mac learning is on. The other flag allows the user to control whether unicast traffic is flooded (send without an fdb) to a given unicast port. Default is on. Changes since v4: - Implemented Stephen's suggestions. Changes since v2: - removed unused "unlock" tag. Changes since v1: - Integrated suggestion from MST to not impact RTM_NEWNEIGH and to skip lookups when learning is disabled.

Eliezer Tamir says: ==================== This patch set adds the ability for the socket layer code to poll directly on an Ethernet device's RX queue. This eliminates the cost of the interrupt and context switch and with proper tuning allows us to get very close to the HW latency. This is a follow up to Jesse Brandeburg's Kernel Plumbers talk from last year http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2012/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2012-lpc-Low-Latency-Sockets-slides-brandeburg.pdf Patch 1 adds a napi_id and a hashing mechanism to lookup a napi by id. Patch 2 adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it. Patch 3 adds support for busy-polling on UDP sockets. Patch 4 adds support for TCP. Patch 5 adds the ixgbe driver code implementing ndo_ll_poll. Patch 6 adds additional statistics to the ixgbe driver for ndo_ll_poll.

Interrupt coalescing (ethtool rx-usecs) settings: 0=off, 1=adaptive, 100 us When C3/6 states were turned on (via BIOS) the performance governor was used. These performance numbers were measured with v2 of the patch set. Performance of the optimized config with an rx-usecs setting of 100 (the first line in the table above) was tracked during the evolution of the patches and has never varied by more than 1%. Design: A global hash table that allows us to look up a struct napi by a unique id was added. A napi_id field was added both to struct sk_buff and struct sk. This is used to track which NAPI we need to poll for a specific socket. The device driver marks every incoming skb with this id. This is propagated to the sk when the socket is looked up in the protocol handler. When the socket code does not find any more data on the socket queue, it now may call ndo_ll_poll which will crank the device's rx queue and feed incoming packets to the stack directly from the context of the socket. A sysctl value (net.core4.low_latency_poll) controls how many microseconds we busy-wait before giving up. (setting to 0 globally disables busy-polling) Locking: 1. Locking between napi poll and ndo_ll_poll: Since what needs to be locked between a device's NAPI poll and ndo_ll_poll, is highly device / configuration dependent, we do this inside the Ethernet driver. For example, when packets for high priority connections are sent to separate rx queues, you might not need locking between napi poll and ndo_ll_poll at all. For ixgbe we only lock the RX queue. ndo_ll_poll does not touch the interrupt state or the TX queues. (earlier versions of this patchset did touch them, but this design is simpler and works better.) If a queue is actively polled by a socket (on another CPU) napi poll will not service it, but will wait until the queue can be locked and cleaned before doing a napi_complete(). If a socket can't lock the queue because another CPU has it, either from napi or from another socket polling on the queue, the socket code can busy wait on the socket's skb queue. Ndo_ll_poll does not have preferential treatment for the data from the calling socket vs. data from others, so if another CPU is polling, you will see your data on this socket's queue when it arrives. Ndo_ll_poll is called with local BHs disabled, so it won't race on the same CPU with net_rx_action, which calls the napi poll method. 2. Napi_hash The napi hash mechanism uses RCU. napi_by_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock(). After a call to napi_hash_del(), caller must take care to wait an rcu grace period before freeing the memory containing the napi struct. (Ixgbe already had this because the queue vector structure uses rcu to protect the statistics counters in it.) how to test: 1. The patchset should apply cleanly to net-next. (don't forget to configure INET_LL_RX_POLL). 2. The ethtool -c setting for rx-usecs should be on the order of 100. 3. Use ethtool -K to disable GRO and LRO (You are encouraged to try it both ways. If you find that your workload does better with GRO on do tell us.) 4. Sysctl value net.core.low_latency_poll controls how long (in us) to busy-wait for more data, You are encouraged to play with this and see what works for you. The default is now 0 so you need to set it to turn the feature on. I recommend a value around 50. 4. benchmark thread and IRQ should be bound to separate cores. Both cores should be on the same CPU NUMA node as the NIC. When the app and the IRQ run on the same CPU you get a small penalty. If interrupt coalescing is set to a low value this penalty can be very large. 5. If you suspect that your machine is not configured properly, use numademo to make sure that the CPU to memory BW is OK. numademo 128m memcpy local copy numbers should be more than 8GB/s on a properly configured machine. Change log: v10 - removed select/poll support. (we will work on this some more and try again) v9 - correct sysctl proc_handler, reported by Eric Dumazet and Amir Vadai. - more int -> bool changes, reported by Eric Dumazet. - better mask testing in sock_poll(), reported by Eric Dumazet. v8 - split out udp and select/poll into separate patches. what used to be patch 2/5 is now three patches. - type corrections from Amir Vadai and Cong Wang: one unsigned long that was left when changing to cycles_t int -> bool - more detailed patch descriptions. v7 - suggested by Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet: type fixes, static for globals in net/core.c, avoid napi_id collisions in napi_hash_add() v6 - many small fixes suggested by Eric Dumazet: data locality, typos, documentation protect napi_hash insert/delete with a spinlock (napi_gen_id is no longer atomic_t since it's only accessed with the spinlock held.) - added IPv6 TCP and UDP support (only minimally tested) v5 - corrections suggested by Ben Hutchings: fixed typos, moved the config option and sysctl value from IPv4 to net - moved sk_mark_ll() to the protocol handlers - removed global id mechanism, replaced with a hashed napi_id. based on code sample from Eric Dumazet Note that ixgbe_free_q_vector() already waits an rcu grace period before freeing the q_vector, so nothing additional needs to be done when adding a call to napi_hash_del(). - simple poll/select support v4 - removed separate config option for TCP as suggested Eric Dumazet. - added linux mib counter for packets received through the low latency path, as suggested by Andi Kleen. - re-allow module unloading, remove module param, use a global generation id instead to prevent the use of a stale napi pointer, as suggested by Eric Dumazet - updated Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt text v3 - coding style changes suggested by Dave Miller v2 - the sysctl knob is now in microseconds. The default value is now 0 (off). - for now the code depends at configure time on CONFIG_I86_TSC - the napi reference in struct skb is now a union with the dma cookie since the former is only used on RX and the latter on TX, as suggested by Eric Dumazet. - we do a better job at honoring non-blocking operations. - removed busy-polling support for tcp_read_sock() - remove dynamic disabling of GRO - coding style fixes - disallow unloading the device module after the feature has been used Credit: Jesse Brandeburg, Arun Chekhov Ilango, Julie Cummings, Alexander Duyck, Eric Geisler, Jason Neighbors, Yadong Li, Mike Polehn, Anil Vasudevan, Don Wood Special thanks for finding bugs in earlier versions: Willem de Bruijn and Andi Kleen ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The current bcm63xx_enet driver always uses bcmenet_shared_base whenever it needs to access DMA channel configuration space or access the DMA channel state RAM. Split these register in 3 parts to be more accurate: - global DMA configuration - per DMA channel configuration space - per DMA channel state RAM space This is preliminary to support new chips where the global DMA configuration remains the same, but there is a varying number of DMA channels located at a different memory offset.

Linear search were used in both get_slot() and macvtap_get_queue(), this is because: - macvtap didn't reshuffle the array of taps when create or destroy a queue, so when adding a new queue, macvtap must do linear search to find a location for the new queue. This will also complicate the TUNSETQUEUE implementation for multiqueue API. - the queue itself didn't track the queue index, so the we must do a linear search in the array to find the location of a existed queue. The solution is straightforward: reshuffle the array and introduce a queue_index to macvtap_queue. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

We are trying to get away from the current driver's scheme of identifying a SoC based on #ifdef's and the platform device ID table matching seems to be a good replacement -- we can use the 'driver_data' field of 'struct platform_device_id' as a pointer to a 'struct sh_eth_cpu_data'.

I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that. While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy, we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach. However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is using vmalloc. This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.

Currently, if fail_over_mac is set to active, then attempts to change the MAC of the bond itself silently fail. However, if fail_over_mac is set to follow, changes are permitted. Permitting the bond's MAC to change with fail_over_mac=follow will disrupt the follow functionality, which normally controls the assignment of MAC address to the bond and its slaves, and can cause multiple ports to be assigned the same MAC address. which will interfere with the functioning of the device (where the device here is a virtualization-aware card for s390, qeth).

This patch converts bonding to use the dev_uc/mc_sync and dev_uc/mc_sync_multiple functions for updating the hardware addresses of bonding slaves. The existing functions to add or remove addresses are removed, and their functionality is replaced with calls to dev_mc_sync or dev_mc_sync_multiple, depending upon the bonding mode. Calls to dev_uc_sync and dev_uc_sync_multiple are also added, so that unicast addresses added to a bond will be properly synced with its slaves. Various functions are renamed to better reflect the new situation, and relevant comments are updated.

Passing pdev in fec_ptp_init() is enough, since we can get ndev locally. Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Would be good to make things explicit and move those functions to a new file called tcp_offload.c, thus make this similar to tcpv6_offload.c. While moving all related functions into tcp_offload.c, we can also make some of them static, since they are only used there. Also, add an explicit registration function.
