2010-09-07ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offloadSantiago Leon2-11/+50
This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth. This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used. This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled. The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware. Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4 or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum disabled or enabled.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Remove duplicate checksum offload setup codeSantiago Leon1-17/+1
Remove code in the device probe function where we set up the checksum offload feature and replace it with a call to an existing function that is doing the same. This is done to clean up the driver in preparation of adding IPv6 checksum offload support.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Add optional flush of rx bufferSantiago Leon1-0/+21
On some machines we can improve the bandwidth by ensuring rx buffers are not in the cache. Add a module option that is disabled by default that flushes rx buffers on insertion.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Add scatter-gather supportSantiago Leon1-60/+124
ibmveth can scatter gather up to 6 segments. If we go over this then we have no option but to call skb_linearize, like other drivers with similar limitations do.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Use lighter weight read memory barrier in ibmveth_pollAnton Blanchard1-1/+1
We want to order the read in ibmveth_rxq_pending_buffer and the read of ibmveth_rxq_buffer_valid which are both cacheable memory. smp_rmb() is good enough for this.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Add rx_copybreakSantiago Leon1-6/+23

2010-09-07ibmveth: Add tx_copybreakSantiago Leon1-8/+20
Use the existing bounce buffer if we send a buffer under a certain size. This saves the overhead of a TCE map/unmap. I can't see any reason for the wmb() in the bounce buffer case, if we need a barrier it will be before we call h_send_logical_lan but we have nothing in the common case. Remove it.

2010-09-07ibmveth: Remove LLTXSantiago Leon2-7/+1
The ibmveth adapter needs locking in the transmit routine to protect the bounce_buffer but it sets LLTX and forgets to add any of its own locking. Just remove the deprecated LLTX option.

2010-09-07ibmveth: batch rx buffer replacementSantiago Leon2-6/+9
At the moment we try and replenish the receive ring on every rx interrupt. We even have a pool->threshold but aren't using it. To limit the maximum latency incurred when refilling, change the threshold from 1/2 to 7/8 and reduce the largest rx pool from 768 buffers to 512 which should be more than enough.

2010-09-07tipc: Fix misleading error code when enabling Ethernet bearersAllan Stephens1-0/+10
Cause TIPC to return EAGAIN if it is unable to enable a new Ethernet bearer because one or more recently disabled Ethernet bearers are temporarily consuming resources during shut down.

2010-09-07tipc: Ensure outgoing messages on Ethernet have sufficient headroomAllan Stephens1-8/+17
Add code to expand the headroom of an outgoing TIPC message if the sk_buff has insufficient room to hold the header for the associated Ethernet device. This change is necessary to ensure that messages TIPC does not create itself (eg. incoming messages that are being routed to another node) do not cause problems, since TIPC has no control over the amount of headroom available in such messages.

2010-09-07tipc: Minor optimizations to name table translation codeAllan Stephens2-5/+3
Optimizes TIPC's name table translation code to avoid unnecessary manipulation of the node address field of the resulting port id when name translation fails. This change is possible because a valid port id cannot have a reference field of zero, so examining the reference only is sufficient to determine if the translation was successful.

2010-09-06r8169: fix rx checksum offloadEric Dumazet1-4/+2
While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx path. All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums. The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and preventing my GRO patch to work. Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy. Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied... Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-03net: remove two kmemcheck annotationsEric Dumazet1-2/+0
__alloc_skb() uses a memset() to clear all the beginning of skb, including bitfields contained in 'flags1' & 'flags2'. We dont need any more to use kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield() on these fields.

2010-09-03ipv6: add special mode forwarding=2 to send RS while configured as routerThomas Graf1-1/+2
Similar to accepting router advertisement, the IPv6 stack does not send router solicitations if forwarding is enabled. This patch enables this behavior to be overruled by setting forwarding to the special value 2. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-09-03ipv6: add special mode accept_ra=2 to accept RA while configured as routerThomas Graf1-4/+14
The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while forwarding, i.e. configured as router. This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the current behavior to be overwritten. Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the special value of 2. An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.
