net: remove 'fallback' argument from dev->ndo_select_queue()

2019-03-20T18:18:55+00:00

After the previous patch, all the callers of ndo_select_queue() provide as a 'fallback' argument netdev_pick_tx. The only exceptions are nested calls to ndo_select_queue(), which pass down the 'fallback' available in the current scope - still netdev_pick_tx. We can drop such argument and replace fallback() invocation with netdev_pick_tx(). This avoids an indirect call per xmit packet in some scenarios (TCP syn, UDP unconnected, XDP generic, pktgen) with device drivers implementing such ndo. It also clean the code a bit. Tested with ixgbe and CONFIG_FCOE=m With pktgen using queue xmit: threads vanilla patched (kpps) (kpps) 1 2334 2428 2 4166 4278 4 7895 8100 v1 -> v2: - rebased after helper's name change Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.

xen-netback: don't populate the hash cache on XenBus disconnect

2019-02-28T20:50:37+00:00

Occasionally, during the disconnection procedure on XenBus which includes hash cache deinitialization there might be some packets still in-flight on other processors. Handling of these packets includes hashing and hash cache population that finally results in hash cache data structure corruption. In order to avoid this we prevent hashing of those packets if there are no queues initialized. In that case RCU protection of queues guards the hash cache as well.

net: xen-netback: fix return type of ndo_start_xmit function

2018-09-28T17:25:11+00:00

The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t', which is a typedef for an enum type, so make sure the implementation in this driver has returns 'netdev_tx_t' value, and change the function return type to netdev_tx_t.

xen-netback: validate queue numbers in xenvif_set_hash_mapping()

Checking them before the grant copy means nothing as to the validity of the incoming request. As we shouldn't make the new data live before having validated it, introduce a second instance of the mapping array. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Reviewed-by: Paul Durrant Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: allow fallback function to pass netdev

2018-07-09T20:57:25+00:00

For most of these calls we can just pass NULL through to the fallback function as the sb_dev. The only cases where we cannot are the cases where we might be dealing with either an upper device or a driver that would have configured things to support an sb_dev itself. The only driver that has any significant change in this patch set should be ixgbe as we can drop the redundant functionality that existed in both the ndo_select_queue function and the fallback function that was passed through to us.

net: allow ndo_select_queue to pass netdev

2018-07-09T20:41:34+00:00

This patch makes it so that instead of passing a void pointer as the accel_priv we instead pass a net_device pointer as sb_dev. Making this change allows us to pass the subordinate device through to the fallback function eventually so that we can keep the actual code in the ndo_select_queue call as focused on possible on the exception cases.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here. Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions, along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms collided with the metadata additions. Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in their final form I tried to group together properly. If I had just trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the meta tests unnecessarily. In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to bpf_compute_data_pointers(). Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method which got removed in net-next. The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net' which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage in 'net-next'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
