13 years agonet: introduce ethernet teaming device
Jiri Pirko [Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:16:48 +0000 (22:16 +0000)]
net: introduce ethernet teaming device

This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.

Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.

team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.

Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.

v7->v8:
- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
  them.
- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()

v6->v7:
- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
  That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
  present

v5->v6:
- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers

v4->v5:
- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
  list
- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
  userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
  possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
  Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
  enslaved.
- Extended Kconfig text

v3->v4:
- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
  byte"
- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()

v2->v3:
- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
- fixed rtln->rtnl

v1->v2:
- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
  extendable.
- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
- several other bugs were fixed.
- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
  as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
  "random") in future.

OK I found it, I did some extra tests and believe its ready.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference

When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst
reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed
information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference.

We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even
without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load.

We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only
softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios.

This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as
well.

On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg()
calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware
UDP application.

ipv4: reduce percpu needs for icmpmsg mibs

Reading /proc/net/snmp on a machine with a lot of cpus is very expensive
(can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPMSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding values
for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory.

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

ipv6: drop packets when source address is multicast

RFC 4291 Section 2.7 says Multicast addresses must not be used as source
addresses in IPv6 packets - drop them on input so we don't process the
packet further.

r8169: increase the delay parameter of pm_schedule_suspend

The link down would occur when reseting PHY. And it would take about 2 ~ 5 seconds
from link down to link up. If the delay of pm_schedule_suspend is not long enough,
the device would enter runtime_suspend before link up. After link up, the device

VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing

Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.

Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:

    cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    main()
    {
            struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
            if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
                    perror("setlk");
    }
    EOF
    cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test

then on nfs4:

    mount --bind file1 file2
    /tmp/test < file1 # ok
    /tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"...

What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.

The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks.  I.e.  set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

Report hardware dropped frame count as rx_fifo_errors.

- The count of transmitted packets reported by the forcedeth driver
  reports pre-TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) packet counts and not the

  copying the count stored in the NIC H/W to the value reported by the
  driver.

- Count rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors:
  We see a lot of rx_drop_frame errors if we disable the rx bottom-halves
  for too long.  Normally, rx_fifo_errors would be counted in this case.
  The rx_drop_frame error count is private to forcedeth and is not

This reverts commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0.

It causes an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so:

  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
  [    2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled

as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.  And Rusty reports the same for
lguest.  He goes on to say:

   "This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that
    calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad
    idea."

and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now.

cpuidle: Single/Global registration of idle states

This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu  would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

override the recommended state. The actual entered state
may be different because of software or hardware demotion. Software
demotion is done by the back-end cpuidle driver and can be accounted

Ideally the driver enter routine should update the counters,
and it should return the state actually entered rather than the time
spent there. The generic cpuidle code should simply handle where
the counters live in the sysfs namespace, not updating the counters.
