There is no software fallback implemented for SCTP or FCoE checksumming,
and so it should not be passed on by software devices like bridge or bonding.
For VLAN devices, this is different. First, the driver for underlying device
should be prepared to get offloaded packets even when the feature is disabled
(especially if it advertises it in vlan_features). Second, devices under
VLANs do not get replaced without tearing down the VLAN first.
This fixes a mess I accidentally introduced while converting bonding to
ndo_fix_features.
NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are removed from BOND_VLAN_FEATURES because they
are unused as of commit 712ae51afd.

Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour
and hh_cache entries, we no longer need:
1) dynamic allocation
2) attachment to dst->hh
3) refcounting

being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with
the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).
To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible

This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as
strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the
fact that multiple issues have been found including:
- Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed.
- Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed
- Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined.
- Endianess wrong on displayed values.
- Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited
The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no
longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am
submitting this patch to remove it.
v2:
Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings
- Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated
- Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container
- Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated
Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to
maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just
return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Therefore, add NETIF_F_ALL_FCOE to indicate feature flags used by FCoE TX offloads.
These include NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC, NETIF_F_FCOE_MTU, and NETIF_F_FSO and add them to
be part of NETIF_F_ALL_TX_OFFLOADS. This would eventually make sure all FCoE needed

This patch enables ethtool to set the loopback mode on a given interface.

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).
This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.
Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.
This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86.
No-cache copy disabled:
672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41
No-cache copy enabled:
702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955
Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:
No-cache copy disabled:
79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76
No-cache copy enabled:
83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88
Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).
This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior

This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to
steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows
for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without
incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc
lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring
to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in
the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps
can still be leveraged.
Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement
QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend
to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver
specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the
qdisc.
By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for
each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much
of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently
inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a
qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge
of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx
queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources.
Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters.
With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using
expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority
directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues
aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with
single traffic class and all queues in this class everything
works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs.
To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority
and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes
of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications
at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is
equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in
the default qdisc.
This in conjunction with a userspace application such as
lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection
algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission
selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(),

places also should take into account the contents of the packet when
deciding whether to offload to hardware. This generalizes the function
to return features about all of the various forms of offloading. Since
offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic
in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum

While doing this analysis, I found a refcount bug in llc, I'll send a
patch for net-2.6
Meanwhile, here is the patch for net-next-2.6
Your patch then can be applied after mine.
Thanks
[PATCH] net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()
dev_getbyhwaddr() was called under RTNL.
Rename it to dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu() and change all its caller to now use
RCU locking instead of RTNL.
Change arp_ioctl() to use RCU instead of RTNL locking.
Note: this fix a dev refcount bug in llc

This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue
devices. XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based
on configuration. This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the
packet to a queue. This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where
RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue
based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric
Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion
steering).
Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will
use the queue to send packets. This is configured as a CPU mask on a
per queue basis in:
/sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus
The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that
maps CPUs to queues. In the netdevice structure this is an array of
num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of
queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use.
The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data
structures. Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done
nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back
to the socket on free (e.g. UDP). The benefits of XPS are dependent on
cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. XPS would
nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs
which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that
each CPU has it's own queue.
Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test
with 1 byte req. and resp.

This patch move RX queue allocation to alloc_netdev_mq and freeing of
the queues to free_netdev (symmetric to TX queue allocation). Each
kobject RX queue takes a reference to the queue's device so that the
device can't be freed before all the kobjects have been released-- this
obviates the need for reference counts specific to RX queues.

Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is
different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.
This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.
There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in
network stack, using RCU conversions.
There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we
create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some
app servers, mmap af_packet)
We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu

When a new dst is used to send a frame, neigh_resolve_output() tries to
associate an struct hh_cache to this dst, calling neigh_hh_init() with
the neigh rwlock write locked.
Most of the time, hh_cache is already known and linked into neighbour,
so we find it and increment its refcount.
This patch changes the logic so that we call neigh_hh_init() with
neighbour lock read locked only, so that fast path can be run in
parallel by concurrent cpus.
This brings part of the speedup we got with commit c7d4426a98
(introduce DST_NOCACHE flag) for non cached dsts, even for cached ones,
removing one of the contention point that routers hit on multiqueue
enabled machines.
Further improvements would need to use a seqlock instead of an rwlock to
protect neigh->ha[], to not dirty neigh too often and remove two atomic
ops.

In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
drop it before it enters protocol stack :
- softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
- bad vlan tag (not accounted)
- unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped
accounting), thus reverting it.

For RPS, we create a kobject for each RX queue based on the number of
queues passed to alloc_netdev_mq(). However, drivers generally do not
determine the numbers of hardware queues to use until much later, so
this usually represents the maximum number the driver may use and not
the actual number in use.
For TX queues, drivers can update the actual number using
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). Add a corresponding function for RX
queues, netif_set_real_num_rx_queues().

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.
