  • 31dda0ae9   net: don't clear IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE in ether_setup ... Browse Code »

    d88733150 introduced the IFF_SKB_TX_SHARING flag, which I unilaterally set in
    ether_setup. In doing this I didn't realize that other flags (such as
    IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE) might be set prior to calling the ether_setup routine.
    This patch changes ether_setup to or in SKB_TX_SHARING so as not to
    inadvertently clear other existing flags. Thanks to Pekka Riikonen for pointing
    out my error

    Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
    some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag
    marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers
    are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
    flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
    handle shared skbs. A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
    flag is set properly

    Added alloc_netdev_mqs function which allows the number of transmit and
    receive queues to be specified independenty. alloc_netdev_mq was
    changed to a macro to call the new function. Also added

    strlcpy() returns the total length of the string they tried to create, so
    we should not use its return value without any check. scnprintf() returns
    the number of characters written into @buf not including the trailing '\0',
    so use it instead here.

    In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot")
    we uninlined skb_pull.

    But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing
    and it helps performance significantly.

    Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that
    serves also as annotation.

    Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet.

  • 5a0e3ad6a   include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implic… ... Browse Code »

    …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • 1f87e235e   eth: Declare an optimized compare_ether_addr_64bits() function ... Browse Code »

    Linus mentioned we could try to perform long word operations, even
    on potentially unaligned addresses, on x86 at least. David mentioned
    the HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS test to handle this on all
    arches that have efficient unailgned accesses.

    I tried this idea and got nice assembly on 32 bits:

    158: 33 82 38 01 00 00 xor 0x138(%edx),%eax
    15e: 33 8a 34 01 00 00 xor 0x134(%edx),%ecx
    164: c1 e0 10 shl $0x10,%eax
    167: 09 c1 or %eax,%ecx
    169: 74 0b je 176

    And very nice assembly on 64 bits of course (one xor, one shl)

    Nice oprofile improvement in eth_type_trans(), 0.17 % instead of 0.41 %,
    expected since we remove 8 instructions on a fast path.

    This patch implements a compare_ether_addr_64bits() function, that
    uses the CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS ifdef to efficiently
    perform the 6 bytes comparison on all capable arches.

    This adds support for the Trailer switch tagging format. This is
    another tagging that doesn't explicitly mark tagged packets with a
    distinct ethertype, so that we need to add a similar hack in the
    receive path as for the Original DSA tagging format.

  • cf85d08fd   dsa: add support for original DSA tagging format ... Browse Code »

    Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
    Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
    support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.

    The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
    Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
    have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that
    is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
    eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.

    This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
    if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
    selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
    instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
    If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
    packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

    I guess it should return -EADDRNOTAVAIL similar to eth_mac_addr()
    when validation fails.

  • 7ffc49a6e   [ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac(). ... Browse Code »

    print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by
    net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated.

    format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
    driver.

    Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs,
    qla4xxx and others in the future. Both print_mac() and
    sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.

    Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with
    net_device struct's dev_addr. Added buffer length overrun checking
    as suggested by Joe Perches.

  • cd354f1ae   [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h ... Browse Code »

    After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).
