2012-07-18ixgbe: Update the logic for ixgbe_cache_ring_dcb and DCB RSS configurationAlexander Duyck2-50/+42
This change cleans up some of the logic in an attempt to try and simplify things for how we are configuring DCB w/ RSS. In this patch I basically did 3 things. I updated the logic for getting the first register index. I applied the fact that all TCs get the same number of queues to simplify the looping logic in caching the DCB ring register. Finally I updated how we configure the RQTC register to match the fact that all TCs are assigned the same number of queues.

2012-07-18ixgbe: Move configuration of set_real_num_rx/tx_queues into openAlexander Duyck2-56/+38
It makes much more sense for us to configure the real number of Tx and Rx queues in the ixgbe_open call than it does in ixgbe_set_num_queues. By setting the number in ixgbe_open we can avoid a number of unecessary updates and only have to make the calls once.

2012-07-18ixgbe: Handle failures in the ixgbe_setup_rx/tx_resources callsAlexander Duyck1-4/+16
Previously we were exiting without cleaning up the memory internally on the ixgbe_setup_rx_resources and ixgbe_setup_tx_resources calls. Instead of forcing the caller to clean things up for us we should instead just unwind the rings and free the memory as we go. This way we can more gracefully clean up the rings in the event of an allocation failure.

2012-07-18ixgbe: Ping the VFs on link status change to trigger link changeAlexander Duyck1-0/+6
When the link status changes on the PF we need to notify the VFs. In order to do this we should ping all of the VFs in order to trigger a link status change on them as well. This fixes issues in which the PF would reset, but the VF didn't because the NAK flag was not set in the VF mailbox.

2012-07-17Merge branch 'nexthop_exceptions'David S. Miller30-183/+449
These patches implement the final mechanism necessary to really allow us to go without the route cache in ipv4. We need a place to have long-term storage of PMTU/redirect information which is independent of the routes themselves, yet does not get us back into a situation where we have to write to metrics or anything like that. For this we use an "next-hop exception" table in the FIB nexthops. The one thing I desperately want to avoid is having to create clone routes in the FIB trie for this purpose, because that is very expensive. However, I'm willing to entertain such an idea later if this current scheme proves to have downsides that the FIB trie variant would not have. In order to accomodate this any such scheme, we need to be able to produce a full flow key at PMTU/redirect time. That required an adjustment of the interface call-sites used to propagate these events. For a PMTU/redirect with a fully specified socket, we pass that socket and use it to produce the flow key. Otherwise we use a passed in SKB to formulate the key. There are two cases that need to be distinguished, ICMP message processing (in which case the IP header is at skb->data) and output packet processing (mostly tunnels, and in all such cases the IP header is at ip_hdr(skb)). We also have to make the code able to handle the case where the dst itself passed into the dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect} method is invalidated. This matters for calls from sockets that have cached that route. We provide a inet{,6} helper function for this purpose, and edit SCTP specially since it caches routes at the transport rather than socket level. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-17ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.David S. Miller3-31/+266
In a regime where we have subnetted route entries, we need a way to store persistent storage about destination specific learned values such as redirects and PMTU values. This is implemented here via nexthop exceptions. The initial implementation is a 2048 entry hash table with relaiming starting at chain length 5. A more sophisticated scheme can be devised if that proves necessary. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-17net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}()David S. Miller21-49/+71
This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key. Even though we have a route in this context, we need more. In the future the routes will be without destination address, source address, etc. keying. One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc. In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage for redirects and PMTU information. This persistent storage will exist in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a full lookup flow key here. Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup() and create/update the persistent entry. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-17ipv6: fix RTPROT_RA markup of RA routes w/nexthopsDenis Ovsienko1-4/+6
Userspace implementations of network routing protocols sometimes need to tell RA-originated IPv6 routes from other kernel routes to make proper routing decisions. This makes most sense for RA routes with nexthops, namely, default routes and Route Information routes. The intended mean of preserving RA route origin in a netlink message is through indicating RTPROT_RA as protocol code. Function rt6_fill_node() tried to do that for default routes, but its test condition was taken wrong. This change is modeled after the original mailing list posting by Jeff Haran. It fixes the test condition for default route case and sets the same behaviour for Route Information case (both types use nexthops). Handling of the 3rd RA route type, Prefix Information, is left unchanged, as it stands for interface connected routes (without nexthops).

Lenght field should be encoded using big endian byte order, such as intend in the specs. As it is currently written, the len field would not be decoded properly on an implementation using the correct byte ordering. Hence, it could lead to interroperability issues. Also, I rewrote the code so that iphc0 argument of lowpan_alloc_new_frame could be removed. Signed-off-by: Tony Cheneau <tony.cheneau@amnesiak.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
