Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support was added. There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete() without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive() Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI poll. We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue, as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway. As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both producer and consumer run under BH context.

The description for tcp_fin_timeout should be tigher and more clear.

This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch. When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu virt queue pairs: - select the txq based on the smp processor id. - smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs. This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE). For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

Paul Gortmaker says: ==================== Changes since v1: -get rid of essentially unused variable spotted by Neil Horman (patch #2) -drop patch #3; defer it for 3.9 content, so Neil, Jon and Ying can discuss its specifics at their leisure while net-next is closed. (It had no direct dependencies to the rest of the series, and was just an optimization) -fix indentation of accept() code directly in place vs. forking it out to a separate function (was patch #10, now patch #9). Rebuilt and re-ran tests just to ensure nothing odd happened. Original v1 text follows, updated pull information follows that. --------- Here is another batch of TIPC changes. The most interesting thing is probably the non-blocking socket connect - I'm told there were several users looking forward to seeing this. Also there were some resource limitation changes that had the right intent back in 2005, but were now apparently causing needless limitations to people's real use cases; those have been relaxed/removed. There is a lockdep splat fix, but no need for a stable backport, since it is virtually impossible to trigger in mainline; you have to essentially modify code to force the probabilities in your favour to see it. The rest can largely be categorized as general cleanup of things seen in the process of getting the above changes done. Tested between 64 and 32 bit nodes with the test suite. I've also compile tested all the individual commits on the chain. I'd originally figured on this queue not being ready for 3.8, but the extended stabilization window of 3.7 has changed that. On the other hand, this can still be 3.9 material, if that simply works better for folks - no problem for me to defer it to 2013. If anyone spots any problems then I'll definitely defer it, rather than rush a last minute respin. =================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In TIPC's accept() routine, there is a large block of code relating to initialization of a new socket, all within an if condition checking if the allocation succeeded. Here, we simply flip the check of the if, so that the main execution path stays at the same indentation level, which improves readability. If the allocation fails, we jump to an already existing exit label. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt: [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] --------------------------------------------- kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock: (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc] but task is already holding lock: (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC); lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation [...] Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested(). This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184 for SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate"). Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally, as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress code not yet ready for mainline. So no need for stable backports or similar of this commit. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

TIPC has so far only supported blocking connect(), meaning that a call to connect() doesn't return until either the connection is fully established, or an error occurs. This has proved insufficient for many users, so we now introduce non-blocking connect(), analogous to how this is done in TCP and other protocols. With this feature, if a connection cannot be established instantly, connect() will return the error code "-EINPROGRESS". If the user later calls connect() again, he will either have the return code "-EALREADY" or "-EISCONN", depending on whether the connection has been established or not. The user must have explicitly set the socket to be non-blocking (SOCK_NONBLOCK or O_NONBLOCK, depending on method used), so unless for some reason they had set this already (the socket would anyway remain blocking in current TIPC) this change should be completely backwards compatible. It is also now possible to call select() or poll() to wait for the completion of a connection. An effect of the above is that the actual completion of a connection may now be performed asynchronously, independent of the calls from user space. Therefore, we now execute this code in BH context, in the function filter_rcv(), which is executed upon reception of messages in the socket.

Handling of connection-related message reception is currently scattered around at different places in the code. This makes it harder to verify that things are handled correctly in all possible scenarios. So we consolidate the existing processing of connection-oriented message reception in a single routine. In the process, we convert the chain of if/else into a switch/case for improved readability. A cast on the socket_state in the switch is needed to avoid compile warnings on 32 bit, like "net/tipc/socket.c:1252:2: warning: case value ‘4294967295’ not in enumerated type". This happens because existing tipc code pseudo extends the default linux socket state values with: #define SS_LISTENING -1 /* socket is listening */ #define SS_READY -2 /* socket is connectionless */ It may make sense to add these as _positive_ values to the existing socket state enum list someday, vs. these already existing defines.

Currently we have tipc_disconnect and tipc_disconnect_port. It is not clear from the names alone, what they do or how they differ. It turns out that tipc_disconnect just deals with the port locking and then calls tipc_disconnect_port which does all the work. If we rename as follows: tipc_disconnect_port --> __tipc_disconnect then we will be following typical linux convention, where: __tipc_disconnect: "raw" function that does all the work. tipc_disconnect: wrapper that deals with locking and then calls the real core __tipc_disconnect function With this, the difference is immediately evident, and locking violations are more apt to be spotted by chance while working on, or even just while reading the code. On the connect side of things, we currently only have the single "tipc_connect2port" function. It does both the locking at enter/exit, and the core of the work. Pending changes will make it desireable to have the connect be a two part locking wrapper + worker function, just like the disconnect is already. Here, we make the connect look just like the updated disconnect case, for the above reason, and for consistency. In the process, we also get rid of the "2port" suffix that was on the original name, since it adds no descriptive value. On close examination, one might notice that the above connect changes implicitly move the call to tipc_link_get_max_pkt() to be within the scope of tipc_port_lock() protected region; when it was not previously. We don't see any issues with this, and it is in keeping with __tipc_connect doing the work and tipc_connect just handling the locking. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
