Commit 1fbe4b46caca "net: pktgen: kill the Wait for kthread_stop
code in pktgen_thread_worker()" removed (in particular) the final
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) and I didn't notice the previous
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE). This triggers the warning
in __might_sleep() after return.

Afaics, we can simply remove both set_current_state()'s, and we
could do this a long ago right after ef87979c273a2 "pktgen: better
scheduler friendliness" which changed pktgen_thread_worker() to
use wait_event_interruptible_timeout().

pktgen_thread_worker() doesn't need to wait for kthread_stop(), it
can simply exit. Just pktgen_create_thread() and pg_net_exit() should
do get_task_struct()/put_task_struct(). kthread_stop(dead_thread) is
fine.

pktgen_thread_worker() is obviously racy, kthread_stop() can come
between the kthread_should_stop() check and set_current_state().

Giving /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl an invalid command just returns shell
success and prints a warning in dmesg.  This is not very useful for
shell scripting, as it can only detect the error by parsing dmesg.

Instead return -EINVAL when the command is unknown, as this provides
userspace shell scripting a way of detecting this.

Also bump version tag to 2.75, because (1) reading /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
output this version number which would allow to detect this small
semantic change, and (2) because the pktgen version tag have not been
updated since 2010.

pkt_gen-&gt;last_ok was not set properly, so after the first burst
pktgen instead of allocating new packet, will reuse old one, advance
eth_type_trans further, which would mean the stack will be seeing very
short bogus packets.

<id>urn:sha1:62f64aed622b6055b5fc447e3e421c9351563fc8</id>

Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the
packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into
netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().

Default mode is called 'start_xmit'.

It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc
performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before
using it for other rx benchmarking.

Sample script 'pktgen.sh':
\#!/bin/bash
function pgset() {
  local result

  echo $1 &gt; $PGDEV

  result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
  if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
    cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
  fi
}

[ -z "$1" ] &amp;&amp; echo "Usage: $0 DEV" &amp;&amp; exit 1
ETH=$1

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
pgset "rem_device_all"
pgset "add_device $ETH"

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive"
pgset "pkt_size 60"
pgset "dst 198.18.0.1"
pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff"
pgset "count 10000000"
pgset "burst 32"

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop"
pgset "start"
echo "Done"
cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH

Usage:
$ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2
...
Result: OK: 232376(c232372+d3) usec, 10000000 (60byte,0frags)
  43033682pps 20656Mb/sec (20656167360bps) errors: 10000000

Raw netif_receive_skb speed should be ~43 million packet
per second on 3.7Ghz x86 and 'perf report' should look like:
  37.69%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
  25.81%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kfree_skb
   7.22%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] ip_rcv
   5.68%  kpktgend_0   [pktgen]          [k] pktgen_thread_worker

If fib_table_lookup is seen on top, it means skb was processed
by the stack. To benchmark netif_receive_skb only make sure
that 'dst_mac' of your pktgen script is different from
receiving device mac and it will be dropped by ip_rcv
