bonding: Fix stacked device detection in arp monitoring

2014-05-17T02:29:05Z

Prior to commit fbd929f2dce460456807a51e18d623db3db9f077 bonding: support QinQ for bond arp interval the arp monitoring code allowed for proper detection of devices stacked on top of vlans. Since the above commit, the code can still detect a device stacked on top of single vlan, but not a device stacked on top of Q-in-Q configuration. The search will only set the inner vlan tag if the route device is the vlan device. However, this is not always the case, as it is possible to extend the stacked configuration. With this patch it is possible to provision devices on top Q-in-Q vlan configuration that should be used as a source of ARP monitoring information. For example: ip link add link bond0 vlan10 type vlan proto 802.1q id 10 ip link add link vlan10 vlan100 type vlan proto 802.1q id 100 ip link add link vlan100 type macvlan Note: This patch limites the number of stacked VLANs to 2, just like before. The original, however had another issue in that if we had more then 2 levels of VLANs, we would end up generating incorrectly tagged traffic. This is no longer possible.

net: Allow for more then a single subclass for netif_addr_lock

2014-05-17T02:14:49Z

Currently netif_addr_lock_nested assumes that there can be only a single nesting level between 2 devices. However, if we have multiple devices of the same type stacked, this fails. For example: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- vlan0.10.20 A more complicated configuration may stack more then one type of device in different order. Ex: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- macvlan0 <-- vlan1.10.20 <-- macvlan1 This patch adds an ndo_* function that allows each stackable device to report its nesting level. If the device doesn't provide this function default subclass of 1 is used. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Find the nesting level of a given device by type.

2014-05-17T02:14:49Z

Multiple devices in the kernel can be stacked/nested and they need to know their nesting level for the purposes of lockdep. This patch provides a generic function that determines a nesting level of a particular device by its type (ex: vlan, macvlan, etc). We only care about nesting of the same type of devices. For example: eth0 <- vlan0.10 <- macvlan0 <- vlan1.20 The nesting level of vlan1.20 would be 1, since there is another vlan in the stack under it. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.

packet: fix packet_direct_xmit for BQL enabled drivers

2014-04-03T18:29:12Z

Currently, in packet_direct_xmit() we test the assigned netdevice queue for netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() before doing an ndo_start_xmit(). This can have the side-effect that BQL enabled drivers which make use of netdev_tx_sent_queue() internally, set __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF from within the stack and would not fully fill the device's TX ring from packet sockets with PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS enabled. Instead, use a test without BQL bit so that bursts can be absorbed into the NICs TX ring. Fix and code suggested by Eric Dumazet, thanks!

net-gro: restore frag0 optimization

2014-03-31T20:26:40Z

Main difference between napi_frags_skb() and napi_gro_receive() is that the later is called while ethernet header was already pulled by the NIC driver (eth_type_trans() was called before napi_gro_receive()) Jerry Chu in commit 299603e8370a ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") tried to remove this difference by calling eth_type_trans() from napi_frags_skb() instead of doing this later from napi_frags_finish() Goal was that napi_gro_complete() could call ptype->callbacks.gro_complete(skb, 0) (offset of first network header = 0) Also, xxx_gro_receive() handlers all use off = skb_gro_offset(skb) to point to their own header, for the current skb and ones held in gro_list Problem is this cleanup work defeated the frag0 optimization: It turns out the consecutive pskb_may_pull() calls are too expensive. This patch brings back the frag0 stuff in napi_frags_skb(). As all skb have their mac header in skb head, we no longer need skb_gro_mac_header() Reported-by: Michal Schmidt Fixes: 299603e8370a ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Jerry Chu Signed-off-by: David S.
