netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq) is most of the time false.
Yet its cost is very expensive on SMP.
static inline int netif_tx_queue_stopped(const struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
return test_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
}
I saw this on oprofile hunting and bnx2 driver bnx2_tx_int().
We probably should split "struct netdev_queue" in two parts, one
being read mostly.
__netif_tx_lock() touches _xmit_lock & xmit_lock_owner, these
deserve a separate cache line.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

This patch enables hardware receive side coalescing for 82599 hardware.
82599 can merge multiple frames from the same TCP/IP flow into a single
structure that can span one ore more descriptors. The accumulated data is
arranged similar to how jumbo frames are arranged with the exception that
other packets can be interlaced inbetween. To overcome this issue a next
pointer is included in the written back descriptor which indicates the next
descriptor in the writeback sequence.

Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:
IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)
It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.
With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.
With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:
IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)
With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

>From now on FW will be downloaded from the binary file using request_firmware.
There will be different files for every supported chip. Currently 57710 (e1) and
57711 (e1h).
File names have the following format: bnx2x-<chip version>-<FW version>.fw.
ihex versions of current FW files are submitted in the next patch.
Each binary file has a header in the following format:
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section {
__be32 len;
__be32 offset;
}
struct bnx2x_fw_file_hdr {
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops_offsets;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version;
}
Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate
section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format.
Data types of arrays:
init_data __be32
init_ops_offsets __be16
XXsem_pram_data u8
XXsem_int_table_data u8
init_ops struct raw_op {
u8 op;
__be24 offset;
__be32 data;
}
fw_version u8
>From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in
init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index
in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro:
#define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \
(2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end))
Security:
In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version.
Additional checks might be added in the future.

When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.
There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.
So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink
attribute headers, thinking for my purposes they weren't needed. I've come to
find out that, as I'm starting to work with sending down messages with
associated data (like config messages), the kernel code spits out warnings about
trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As
such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction,
and so for completeness, I should likely include them on messages bound from the
kernel to user space. This patch adds that header to the kernel, and bumps the
protocol version accordingly

Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case). If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused. This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."
This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.

Modules are not supposed to use any of the *_initcall*() hooks as
the entry point. fsl_pq_mdio.c was using subsys_initcall_sync()
instead of module_init() to guarantee that the MDIO bus was initialized
before the Ethernet driver goes looking for the phy. However, the recent
OF helpers rework happens to also make sure PHY connection is deferred to
.open time, so using an initcall is no longer necessary.
This patch replaces the initcall with a more traditional an accepted

This patch adds support for the Xilinx ll_temac 10/100/1000 Ethernet
device. The ll_temac ipcore is typically used on Xilinx Virtex and
Spartan designs attached to either a PowerPC 4xx or Microblaze
processor.
At the present moment, this driver only works with Virtex5 PowerPC
designs because it assumes DCR is used to access the DMA registers.
However, the low level access to DMA registers is abstracted and
it should be easy to adapt for the other implementations.
I'm posting this driver now as an RFC. There are still some things that
need to be tightened up, but it does appear to be stable.
