2012-01-05virtio_net: Pass gfp flags when allocating rx buffers.Mike Waychison1-1/+2
Currently, the refill path for RX buffers will always allocate the buffers as GFP_ATOMIC, even if we are in process context. This will fail to apply memory pressure as the worker thread will not contribute to the freeing of memory. Fix this by changing add_recvbuf_small to use the gfp variant allocator, __netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().

2011-12-29virtio_net: use non-reentrant workqueue.Rusty Russell1-3/+3
Michael S. Tsirkin also noticed that we could run the refill work multiple CPUs: if we kick off a refill on one CPU and then on another, they would both manipulate the queue at the same time (they use napi_disable to avoid racing against the receive handler itself). Tejun points out that this is what the WQ_NON_REENTRANT flag is for, and that there is a convenient system kthread we can use.

2011-12-29virtio_net: set/cancel work on ndo_open/ndo_stopRusty Russell1-4/+13
Michael S. Tsirkin noticed that we could run the refill work after ndo_close, which can re-enable napi - we don't disable it until virtnet_remove. This is clearly wrong, so move the workqueue control to ndo_open and ndo_stop (aka. virtnet_open and virtnet_close). One subtle point: virtnet_probe() could simply fail if it couldn't allocate a receive buffer, but that's less polite in virtnet_open() so we schedule a refill as we do in the normal receive path if we run out of memory.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.

2011-06-11virtio_net: introduce VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALIDJason Wang1-0/+2
There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag - VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization. No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag. Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP, when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement could be measured by netperf. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

2010-08-17ethtool: Provide a default implementation of ethtool_ops::get_drvinfoBen Hutchings1-14/+0
The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found through the driver model now. Instead of requiring drivers to provide this information redundantly through the ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define the operation. Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to be set either.

I often use "ethtool -i" command to check what driver controls the ehternet device.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit 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.

2010-02-12virtio_net: remove send queueShirley Ma1-18/+8
Now we have a virtio detach API (in commit f9bfbebf34eab707b065116cdc9699d25ba4252a), we don't need to track xmit skbs in the virio_net driver, which improves transmission performance.

2010-02-12net: use netdev_mc_count and netdev_mc_empty when appropriateJiri Pirko1-5/+8
This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when it was suitable. Jirka Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-02virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 ↵Shirley Ma1-179/+248
12:53:38 -0800 virtio_net receives packets from its pre-allocated vring buffers, then it delivers these packets to upper layer protocols as skb buffs. So it's not necessary to pre-allocate skb for each mergable buffer, then frees extra skbs when buffers are merged into a large packet. This patch has deferred skb allocation in receiving packets for both big packets and mergeable buffers to reduce skb pre-allocations and skb frees. It frees unused buffers by calling detach_unused_buf in vring, so recv skb queue is not needed.
