Major two changes are: * keep fib6_sernum per namespace to reduce number of flushes in case system has high number of namespaces * make fn_sernum updates cheaper v2: Incorporated feedback from Cong Wang, thanks a lot! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Try to reduce number of possible fn_sernum mutation by constraining them to their namespace. Also remove rt_genid which I forgot to remove in 705f1c86 ("ipv6: remove rt6i_genid").

John Fastabend says: ==================== net sched rcu updates This fixes the use of tcf_proto from RCU callbacks it requires moving the unbind calls out of the callbacks and removing the tcf_proto argument from the tcf_em_tree_destroy(). This is a rework of two previous series and addresses comments from Cong. And should apply against latest net-next. The previous series links below for reference: (1/2) net: sched: do not use tcf_proto 'tp' argument from call_rcu http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/396149/ (2/2) net: sched: replace ematch calls to use struct net http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/396150/ net: sched: cls_cgroup tear down exts and ematch from rcu callback http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/396307/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu occuring on another CPU. 'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context. This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the valid class field or it will be zeroed. And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

This removes the tcf_proto argument from the ematch code paths that only need it to reference the net namespace. This allows simplifying qdisc code paths especially when we need to tear down the ematch from an RCU callback. In this case we can not guarentee that the tcf_proto structure is still valid.

Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet). This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC performance. Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In case we find a general query with non-zero number of sources, we are dropping the skb as it's malformed. RFC3376, section 4.1.8. Number of Sources (N): This number is zero in a General Query or a Group-Specific Query, and non-zero in a Group-and-Source-Specific Query. Therefore, reflect that by using kfree_skb() instead of consume_skb().

Earlier change to use usable slave array for TLB mode had an additional performance advantage. So extending the same logic to all other modes that use xmit-hash for slave selection (viz 802.3AD, and XOR modes). Also consolidating this with the earlier TLB change. The main idea is to build the usable slaves array in the control path and use that array for slave selection during xmit operation. Measured performance in a setup with a bond of 4x1G NICs with 200 instances of netperf for the modes involved (3ad, xor, tlb) cmd: netperf -t TCP_RR -H <TargetHost> -l 60 -s 5 Mode TPS-Before TPS-After 802.3ad : 468,694 493,101 TLB (lb=0): 392,583 392,965 XOR : 475,696 484,517 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Amir Vadai says: ==================== net/mlx4_en: Optimizations to TX flow This patchset contains optimizations to TX flow in mlx4_en driver. It also introduce setting/getting tx copybreak, to enable controlling inline threshold dynamically. TX flow optimizations was authored and posted to the mailing list by Eric Dumazet [1] as a single patch. I splitted this patch to smaller patches, Reviewed it and tested. Changed from original patch: - s/iowrite32be/iowrite32/, since ring->doorbell_qpn is stored as be32 The tx copybreak patch was also suggested by Eric Dumazet, and was edited and reviewed by me. User space patch will be sent after kernel code is ready. I am sending this patchset now since the merge window is near and don't want to miss it. More work need to do: - Disable BF when xmit_more is in use - Make TSO use xmit_more too. Maybe by splitting small TSO packets in the driver itself, to avoid extra cpu/memory costs of GSO before the driver - Fix mlx4_en_xmit buggy handling of queue full in the middle of a burst partially posted to send queue using xmit_more Eric, I edited the patches to have you as the Author and the first signed-off-by. I hope it is ok with you (I wasn't sure if it is ok to sign by you), anyway all the credit to those changes should go to you.

Instead of setting inline threshold using module parameter only on driver load, use set_tunable() to set it dynamically. No need to store the threshold per ring, using instead the netdev global priv->prof->inline_thold Initial value still is set using the module parameter, therefore backward compatability is kept.

Standard qdisc API to setup a timer implies an atomic operation on every packet dequeue : qdisc_unthrottled() It turns out this is not really needed for FQ, as FQ has no concept of global qdisc throttling, being a qdisc handling many different flows, some of them can be throttled, while others are not. Fix is straightforward : add a 'bool throttle' to qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns(), and remove calls to qdisc_unthrottled() in sch_fq.

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options that are in use and can handle newly defined options without further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

As the size of the flow key grows, it can put some pressure on the stack. This is particularly true in ovs_flow_cmd_set(), which needs several copies of the key on the stack. One of those uses is logically separate, so this factors it out to reduce stack pressure and improve readibility.

Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However, as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable, as in the case of pointers. This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.
