15 years agobridge: fix initial packet flood if !STP
Stephen Hemminger [Fri, 15 May 2009 06:11:58 +0000 (06:11 +0000)]
bridge: fix initial packet flood if !STP

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.

This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
  * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
    user wants to always flood packets
  * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
    timer tick

The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.

15 years agobridge: relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STP
Stephen Hemminger [Fri, 15 May 2009 06:10:13 +0000 (06:10 +0000)]
bridge: relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STP

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off.  This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.

With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.

Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

fcoe: adds spma mode support

If we can find a type NETDEV_HW_ADDR_T_SAN mac address from the
corresponding netdev for a fcoe interface then sets up added the
fc->ctlr.spma flag and stores spma mode address in ctl_src_addr.

In case the spma flag is set then:-

 1. Adds spma mode MAC address in ctl_src_addr as secondary
    MAC address, the FLOGI for FIP and pre-FIP will go out
    using this address.
 2. Cleans up stored spma MAC address in ctl_src_addr in
    fcoe_netdev_cleanup.
 3. Sets up spma bit in fip_flags for FIP solicitations along
    with exiting FPMA bit setting.
 4. Initialize the FLOGI FIP MAC descriptor to stored spma
    MAC address in ctl_src_addr. This is used as proposed
    FCoE MAC address from initiator along with both SPMA
    and FPMA bit set in FIP solicitation, in response the
    switch may grant any FPMA or SPMA mode MAC address to
    initiator.

Removes FIP descriptor type checking against ELS type
ELS_FLOGI in fcoe_ctlr_encaps to update a FIP MAC descriptor,
instead now checks against FIP_DT_FLOGI.

I've tested this with available FPMA-only FCoE switch but
since data_src_addr is updated using same old code for
both FPMA and SPMA modes with FIP or pre-FIP links, so added
SPMA mode will work with SPMA-only switch also provided that

fcoe_if_create adds netdev pkt handler for fip packets, a secondary
MAC address is added by fcoe_netdev_config and then later cleanup
for these netdev related config/adds is done only during
fcoe_if_destroy and no cleanup done on error during fcoe interface
creation after above netdev config calling in fcoe_if_create.

So this patch adds single func for above mentioned cleanup the
fcoe_netdev_cleanup and then calls this func on either fcoe interface
destroy or exiting from fcoe_if_create due to an error after fcoe/fip
related above netdev config is done.

Moved netdev pkt handler addition code blocks for fip pkts close to
similar code block for foce pkt in fcoe_netdev_config, so that added
fcoe_netdev_cleanup could be called on error from fcoe_netdev_config
to undo these both additions for fcoe/fip pkt handlers. This move
required reference to fcoe_fip_recv in fcoe_netdev_config, so moved
fip related functions fcoe_fip_recv, fcoe_fip_send and
fcoe_update_src_mac above fcoe_netdev_config.

This consolidation will enable spma mode support in next patch to

When using bnx2 in a high transmit load, bnx2_tx_int() cost is pretty high.

One is an expensive call to bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) for each freed skb

One is cpu stalls when accessing skb_is_gso(skb) / skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags

(One to get skb->end/head to compute skb_shinfo(skb),
 one to get is_gso/nr_frags)

This patch :

1) avoids calling bnx2_get_hw_tx_cons(bnapi) too many times.

2) makes bnx2_start_xmit() cache is_gso & nr_frags into sw_tx_bd descriptor.
   This uses a litle bit more ram (256 longs per device on x86), but helps a lot.

3) uses a prefetch(&skb->end) to speedup dev_kfree_skb(), bringing
  cache line that will be needed in skb_release_data()

result is 5 % bandwidth increase in benchmarks, involving UDP or TCP receive

bnx2_tx_int going from 3.33 % cpu to 0.5 % cpu in oprofile

Fix caller information for warn_slowpath_null

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2dbf968fdbe516359688094eef4d46581) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:

  WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()

because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.

Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place.  This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.

Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.
