2012-11-01tuntap: choose the txq based on rxqJason Wang
This patch implements a simple multiqueue flow steering policy - tx follows rx for tun/tap. The idea is simple, it just choose the txq based on which rxq it comes. The flow were identified through the rxhash of a skb, and the hash to queue mapping were recorded in a hlist with an ageing timer to retire the mapping. The mapping were created when tun receives packet from userspace, and was quired in .ndo_select_queue(). I run co-current TCP_CRR test and didn't see any mapping manipulation helpers in perf top, so the overhead could be negelected. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-01tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap deviceJason Wang
Sometimes usespace may need to active/deactive a queue, this could be done by detaching and attaching a file from tuntap device. This patch introduces a new ioctls - TUNSETQUEUE which could be used to do this. Flag IFF_ATTACH_QUEUE were introduced to do attaching while IFF_DETACH_QUEUE were introduced to do the detaching.

2012-11-01tuntap: multiqueue supportJason Wang
This patch converts tun/tap to a multiqueue devices and expose the multiqueue queues as multiple file descriptors to userspace. Internally, each tun_file were abstracted as a queue, and an array of pointers to tun_file structurs were stored in tun_structure device, so multiple tun_files were allowed to be attached to the device as multiple queues. When choosing txq, we first try to identify a flow through its rxhash, if it does not have such one, we could try recorded rxq and then use them to choose the transmit queue. This policy may be changed in the future. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-11-01tuntap: RCUify dereferencing between tun_struct and tun_fileJason Wang
RCU were introduced in this patch to synchronize the dereferences between tun_struct and tun_file. All tun_{get|put} were replaced with RCU, the dereference from one to other must be done under rtnl lock or rcu read critical region. This is needed for the following patches since the one of the goal of multiqueue tuntap is to allow adding or removing queues during workload. Without RCU, control path would hold tx locks when adding or removing queues (which may cause sme delay) and it's hard to change the number of queues without stopping the net device. With the help of rcu, there's also no need for tun_file hold an refcnt to tun_struct. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-11-01tuntap: move socket to tun_fileJason Wang
Current tuntap makes use of the socket receive queue as its tx queue. To implement multiple tx queues for tuntap and enable the ability of adding and removing queues during workload, the first step is to move the socket related structures to tun_file. Then we could let multiple fds/sockets to be attached to the tuntap. This patch removes tun_sock and moves socket related structures from tun_sock or tun_struct to tun_file. Two exceptions are tap_filter and sock_fprog, they are still kept in tun_structure since they are used to filter packets for the net device instead of per transmit queue (at least I see no requirements for them). After those changes, socket were created and destroyed during file open and close (instead of device creation and destroy), the socket structures could be dereferenced from tun_file instead of the file of tun_struct structure itself. For persisent device, since we purge during datching and wouldn't queue any packets when no interface were attached, there's no behaviod changes before and after this patch, so the changes were transparent to the userspace. To keep the attributes such as sndbuf, socket filter and vnet header, those would be re-initialize after a new interface were attached to an persist device.

2012-10-31net: compute skb->rxhash if nic hash may be 3-tupleWillem de Bruijn
Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash, but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols, they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g., for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels, the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible, but devices do not. This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag. Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case: 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash With 200x TCP_RR it increases to 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has to take place after flow dissector.

2012-10-31ixgbe: add setlink, getlink support to ixgbe and ixgbevfJohn Fastabend
This adds support for the net device ops to manage the embedded hardware bridge on ixgbe devices. With this patch the bridge mode can be toggled between VEB and VEPA to support stacking macvlan devices or using the embedded switch without any SW component in 802.1Qbg/br environments. Additionally, this adds source address pruning to the ixgbevf driver to prune any frames sent back from a reflective relay on the switch. This is required because the existing hardware does not support this. Without it frames get pushed into the stack with its own src mac which is invalid per 802.1Qbg VEPA definition.

2012-10-31net: set and query VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGEJohn Fastabend
Hardware switches may support enabling and disabling the loopback switch which puts the device in a VEPA mode defined in the IEEE 802.1Qbg specification. In this mode frames are not switched in the hardware but sent directly to the switch. SR-IOV capable NICs will likely support this mode I am aware of at least two such devices. Also I am told (but don't have any of this hardware available) that there are devices that only support VEPA modes. In these cases it is important at a minimum to be able to query these attributes. This patch adds an additional IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute that can be set and dumped via the PF_BRIDGE:{SET|GET}LINK operations. Also anticipating bridge attributes that may be common for both embedded bridges and software bridges this adds a flags attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS currently used to determine if the command or event is being generated to/from an embedded bridge or software bridge. Finally, the event generation is pulled out of the bridge module and into rtnetlink proper. For example using the macvlan driver in VEPA mode on top of an embedded switch requires putting the embedded switch into a VEPA mode to get the expected results. -------- -------- | VEPA | | VEPA | <-- macvlan vepa edge relays -------- -------- | | | | ------------------ | VEPA | <-- embedded switch in NIC ------------------ | | ------------------- | external switch | <-- shiny new physical ------------------- switch with VEPA support A packet sent from the macvlan VEPA at the top could be loopbacked on the embedded switch and never seen by the external switch. So in order for this to work the embedded switch needs to be set in the VEPA state via the above described commands. By making these attributes nested in IFLA_AF_SPEC we allow future extensions to be made as needed.

2012-10-29net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV modeJohn Fastabend

This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF. In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer. This is incorrect.

This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global entry for C without adding any WIFI flag.

These devices usually use the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock. This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each transmission.
