1fd63041c4 net: pskb_expand_head() optimization
pskb_expand_head() blindly takes references on fragments before calling
skb_release_data(), potentially releasing these references.

We can add a fast path, avoiding these atomic operations, if we own the
last reference on skb->head.

Based on a previous patch from David

52ee7a04a0 net: remove two kmemcheck annotations
__alloc_skb() uses a memset() to clear all the beginning of skb,
including bitfields contained in 'flags1' & 'flags2'.

We dont need any more to use kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield() on these
fields. However, we still need it for the clone part, which is not
cleared.

0b5d404e34 pkt_sched: Fix lockdep warning on est_tree_lock in gen_estimator
This patch fixes a lockdep warning:

[  516.288386] [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]

[  516.288386] but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
[  516.288386]  (est_tree_lock){+.+...}
[  516.288386] 
[  516.288386] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
...

So, est_tree_lock needs BH protection because it's taken by
qdisc_tx_lock, which is used both in BH and process contexts.

3d3be4333f gro: fix different skb headrooms
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.

1) fix skb_segment()

skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()

2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list

skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.

Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN

0fdc100bdc ethtool: allow non-netadmin to query settings
The SNMP daemon uses ethtool to determine the speed of
network interfaces. This fails on Debian (and probably elsewhere)
because for security SNMP daemon runs as non-root user (snmp).

Note: A similar patch was rejected previously because of a concern about
the possibility that on some hardware querying the ethtool settings
requires access to the PHY and could slow the machine down.  But the
security risk of requiring SNMP daemon (and related services)
to run as root far out weighs the risk of denial-of-service.

c1f79426e2 sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs.
This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to
distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses.

For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC
addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned)
MAC addresses.
For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the
device path instead of the MAC address.
There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave
devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware
of the fact.

This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of
drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

00c5a9834b net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.c
Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really
csum_start and not csum before adjusting it.

This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs.
On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts
of headroom on receive depending on the packet size.  See line 2030 of
drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes
of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes.

When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header()
calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes
of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more.

Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb,
including csum_start.  Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet
has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed.
The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created
by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and
then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum
error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the
sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h,
I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is
CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that
case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

Please see my more in-depth disucssion of tracking down this bug for
more details if you like:

bd27290a59 net: 64bit stats for netdev_queue
Since struct netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped are already
protected by _xmit_lock, its easy to convert these fields to u64 instead
of unsigned long.
This completes 64bit stats for devices using them (vlan, macvlan, ...)

Strictly, we could avoid the locking in dev_txq_stats_fold() on 64bit
arches, but its slow path and we prefer keep it simple.

c1f19b51d1 net: support time stamping in phy devices.
This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and
outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible
time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are
deferred for later delivery by the driver.

The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl
and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may
optionally implement these functions.

b0f77d0eae net: fix problem in reading sock TX queue
Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket.  In
dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with
sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get.
The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these
calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the
sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so
that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index
and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and
can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit.

We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper
checks.  The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue
if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it
returns -1.  sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be
completely removed.

91a72a7059 net/core: neighbour update Oops
When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote
address is configured a kernel Oops is observed.  The
obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer
(neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when

void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *)
= neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update;

the GRE interface.  This patch guards against the
possibility that header_ops is NULL.

This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.

87fd308cfc net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try()
commit fc6055a5ba (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early
orphaning of skbs.

This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in
case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...)

Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to
spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices.

skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all
flows.

skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash()
can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.

3cfde79c6c net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats union
In commit be1f3c2c02 "net: Enable 64-bit
net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct
net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct
rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or
conversion between the two.  However, this is unsafe because there is
no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to
dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns.

In commit 28172739f0 "net: fix 64 bit
counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by
requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the
result.  This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding
in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them.

Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its
new usage.

Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since
that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer
going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats.

Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure
conversion.

28172739f0 net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32
bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a
32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider.

One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all
ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to
dev_get_stats().

Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary
storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack)

Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

f0796d5c73 net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.

The flow for this is,

dev_queue_xmit()
	dev_pick_tx()
		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
		skb_set_queue_mapping()
	...
	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
	dev_hard_start_xmit()
		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash

skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.

This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there.  It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for

01f2f3f6ef net: optimize Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) processing
Gcc is currenlty not in the ability to optimize the switch statement in
sk_run_filter() because of dense case labels. This patch replace the
OR'd labels with ordered sequenced case labels. The sk_chk_filter()
function is modified to patch/replace the original OPCODES in a
ordered but equivalent form. gcc is now in the ability to transform the
switch statement in sk_run_filter into a jump table of complexity O(1).

Until this patch gcc generates a sequence of conditional branches (O(n) of 567
byte .text segment size (arch x86_64):

7ff: 8b 06                 mov    (%rsi),%eax
801: 66 83 f8 35           cmp    $0x35,%ax
805: 0f 84 d0 02 00 00     je     adb <sk_run_filter+0x31d>
80b: 0f 87 07 01 00 00     ja     918 <sk_run_filter+0x15a>
811: 66 83 f8 15           cmp    $0x15,%ax
815: 0f 84 c5 02 00 00     je     ae0 <sk_run_filter+0x322>
81b: 77 73                 ja     890 <sk_run_filter+0xd2>
81d: 66 83 f8 04           cmp    $0x4,%ax
821: 0f 84 17 02 00 00     je     a3e <sk_run_filter+0x280>
827: 77 29                 ja     852 <sk_run_filter+0x94>
829: 66 83 f8 01           cmp    $0x1,%ax
[...]

With the modification the compiler translate the switch statement into
the following jump table fragment:

7ff: 66 83 3e 2c           cmpw   $0x2c,(%rsi)
803: 0f 87 1f 02 00 00     ja     a28 <sk_run_filter+0x26a>
809: 0f b7 06              movzwl (%rsi),%eax
80c: ff 24 c5 00 00 00 00  jmpq   *0x0(,%rax,8)
813: 44 89 e3              mov    %r12d,%ebx
816: e9 43 03 00 00        jmpq   b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>

81e: e9 3b 03 00 00        jmpq   b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>

Furthermore, I reordered the instructions to reduce cache line misses by
order the most common instruction to the start.

6afff0caa7 net: consolidate netif_needs_gso() checks
netif_needs_gso() is checked twice in the TX path once,
before submitting the skb to the qdisc and once after
it is dequeued from the qdisc just before calling
ndo_hard_start().  This opens a window for a user to
change the gso/tso or tx checksum settings that can
cause netif_needs_gso to be true in one check and false
in the other.

Specifically, changing TX checksum setting may cause
the warning in skb_gso_segment() to be triggered if
the checksum is calculated earlier.

This consolidates the netif_needs_gso() calls so that
the stack only checks if gso is needed in
dev_hard_start_xmit().

be1f3c2c02 net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures
Use struct rtnl_link_stats64 as the statistics structure.

On 32-bit architectures, insert 32 bits of padding after/before each
field of struct net_device_stats to make its layout compatible with
struct rtnl_link_stats64.  Add an anonymous union in net_device; move
stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64.

Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64.  Drivers that implement
this operation must not update the structure asynchronously.

Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64.  Change callers of
dev_get_stats() accordingly.

43d28b6515 pktgen: increasing transmission granularity
This patch increases the granularity of the rate generated by pktgen.
The previous version of pktgen uses micro seconds (udelay) resolution when it
was delayed causing gaps in the rates. It is changed to nanosecond (ndelay).
Now any rate is possible.

Also it allows to set, the desired rate in Mb/s or packets per second.

The documentation has been updated.

c7de2cf053 pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixes
gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since
caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before
freeing stats_lock.

This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b
(gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all
gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU
protected.

A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this
problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU
protected.

597a264b1a net: deliver skbs on inactive slaves to exact matches
Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop().  This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.

For example,

vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all.  However,

bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx

and

bond0 -> ethx

will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.

This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv().  Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly.  This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.

I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.

# bond0 -> ethx

# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

# bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx

# bond0 -> ethx
            |
  vlanx -> --

There are a number of network drivers (bridge, bonding, etc) that are not yet

Also, only print the warning once for those drivers that _are_ multi-queue

is unnecessary. It is sufficient to check if the skb is cloned before

ab95bfe01f net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5
What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.

Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

79640a4ca6 net: add additional lock to qdisc to increase throughput
When many cpus compete for sending frames on a given qdisc, the qdisc
spinlock suffers from very high contention.

The cpu owning __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit has same priority to acquire
the lock, and cannot dequeue packets fast enough, since it must wait for
this lock for each dequeued packet.

One solution to this problem is to force all cpus spinning on a second
lock before trying to get the main lock, when/if they see
__QDISC_STATE_RUNNING already set.

The owning cpu then compete with at most one other cpu for the main
lock, allowing for higher dequeueing rate.

Based on a previous patch from Alexander Duyck. I added the heuristic to
avoid the atomic in fast path, and put the new lock far away from the
cache line used by the dequeue worker. Also try to release the busylock
lock as late as possible.

Tests with following script gave a boost from ~50.000 pps to ~600.000
pps on a dual quad core machine (E5450 @3.00GHz), tg3 driver.
(A single netperf flow can reach ~800.000 pps on this platform)

for j in `seq 0 3`; do
  for i in `seq 0 7`; do
    netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -N -T $i -- -m 6 &

2df4a0fa15 net: fix conflict between null_or_orig and null_or_bond
If a skb is received on an inactive bond that does not meet
the special cases checked for by skb_bond_should_drop it should
only be delivered to exact matches as the comment in
netif_receive_skb() says.

However because null_or_bond could also be null this is not
always true.  This patch renames null_or_bond to orig_or_bond
and initializes it to orig_dev.  This keeps the intent of
null_or_bond to pass frames received on VLAN interfaces stacked
on bonding interfaces without invalidating the statement for
null_or_orig.

b1faf56664 net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a
backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket
is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to
process normal and error packets.

Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is
what I implemented in this patch.

Note: this reverts commit 29030374
