2015-08-28virtio-net: avoid unnecessary sg initialzationJason Wang1-2/+2
Usually an skb does not have up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags. So no need to initialize the unuse part of sg. This patch initialize the sg based on the real number it will used: - during xmit, it could be inferred from nr_frags and can_push. - for small receive buffer, it will also be 2. Cc: Michael S.

2015-08-21virtio_net: use DECLARE_EWMAJohannes Berg1-11/+11
Instead of using the out-of-line EWMA calculation, use DECLARE_EWMA() to create static inlines. On x86/64 this results in no change in code size for me, but reduces the struct receive_queue size by the two unsigned long values that store the parameters.

2015-08-07virtio-net: drop NETIF_F_FRAGLISTJason Wang1-2/+2
virtio declares support for NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, but assumes that there are at most MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 fragments which isn't always true with a fraglist. A longer fraglist in the skb will make the call to skb_to_sgvec overflow the sg array, leading to memory corruption. Drop NETIF_F_FRAGLIST so we only get what we can handle. Cc: Michael S.

2015-08-04virtio_net: add gro capabilityEric Dumazet1-2/+2
Straightforward patch to add GRO processing to virtio_net. napi_complete_done() usage allows more aggressive aggregation, opted-in by setting /sys/class/net/xxx/gro_flush_timeout Tested: Setting /sys/class/net/xxx/gro_flush_timeout to 1000 nsec, Rick Jones reported following results. One VM of each on a pair of OpenStack compute nodes with E5-2650Lv3 CPUs and Intel 82599ES-based NICs. So, two "before" and two "after" VMs. The OpenStack compute nodes were running OpenStack Kilo, with VxLAN encapsulation being used through OVS so no GRO coming-up the host stack. The compute nodes themselves were running a 3.14-based kernel. Single-stream netperf, CPU utilizations and thus service demands are based on intra-guest reported CPU.

2014-12-23virtio_net: Fix napi poll list corruptionHerbert Xu1-2/+0
The commit d75b1ade567ffab085e8adbbdacf0092d10cd09c (net: less interrupt masking in NAPI) breaks virtio_net in an insidious way. It is now required that if the entire budget is consumed when poll returns, the napi poll_list must remain empty. However, like some other drivers virtio_net tries to do a last-ditch check and if there is more work it will call napi_schedule and then immediately process some of this new work. Should the entire budget be consumed while processing such new work then we will violate the new caller contract. This patch fixes this by not touching any work when we reschedule in virtio_net. The worst part of this bug is that the list corruption causes other napi users to be moved off-list. In my case I was chasing a stall in IPsec (IPsec uses netif_rx) and I only belatedly realised that it was virtio_net which caused the stall even though the virtio_net poll was still functioning perfectly after IPsec stalled.

2014-10-31drivers/net: Disable UFO through virtioBen Hutchings1-10/+14
IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no fragmentation ID in the fixed header. UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio net protocol. Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new ID, but this was a bug. Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet passed through a tap, which is even worse. Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6 features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we have a proper solution. We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do this.

2014-08-26net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use signalling instead.David S. Miller1-9/+3
As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is non-trivial. There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and then write the device register. Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications to the device drivers. The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the current SKB. And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer update. Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

2014-04-30virtio-net: Set needed_headroom for virtio-net when VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT is trueZhangjie \(HZ\)1-0/+7
This is a small supplement for commit e7428e95a06fb516fac1308bd0e176e27c0b9287 ("virtio-net: put virtio-net header inline with data"). TCP packages have enough room to put virtio-net header in, but UDP packages do not. By setting dev->needed_headroom for virtio-net device, UDP packages could have enough room. For UDP packages, sk_buff is alloced in fun __ip_append_data. The size is "alloclen + hh_len + 15", and "hh_len = LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt-dst.dev);". The Macro is defined as follows: #define LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) \ ((((dev)->hard_header_len+(dev)->needed_headroom)\ &~(HH_DATA_MOD - 1)) + HH_DATA_MOD) By default, for UDP packages, after skb is allocated, only 16 bytes reserved. And 2 bytes remained after mac header is set. That is not enough to put virtio-net header in. If we set dev->needed_headroom to 12 or 10 (according to mergeable_rx_bufs is on or off ), more room can be reserved. Then there is enough room for UDP packages to put the header in. test result list as below: guest and host: suse11sp3, netperf, intel 2.4GHz +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | | old | new | +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | UDP | Gbit/s | pps | Gbit/s | pps | | 64 | 0.57 | 692232 | 0.61 | 742420 | | 256 | 1.60 | 686860 | 1.71 | 733331 | | 512 | 2.92 | 674576 | 3.07 | 710446 | | 1024 | 4.99 | 598977 | 5.17 | 620821 | | 1460 | 5.68 | 483757 | 7.16 | 610519 | | 4096 | 6.98 | 637468 | 7.21 | 658471 | +-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ Signed-off-by: Zhang Jie <zhangjie14@huawei.com> Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

2014-03-27virtio-net: correct error handling of virtqueue_kick()Jason Wang1-3/+3
Current error handling of virtqueue_kick() was wrong in two places: - The skb were freed immediately when virtqueue_kick() fail during xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from the virtqueue. - try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work. Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b. Fixes 67975901183799af8e93ec60e322f9e2a1940b9b (virtio_net: verify if virtqueue_kick() succeeded).
