| * virtio_net: use dev_kfree_skb_any() in free_old_xmit_skbs()Eric Dumazet2009-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because netpoll can call netdevice start_xmit() method with irqs disabled, drivers should not call kfree_skb() from their start_xmit(), but use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead.

* virtio_net: avoid (most) NETDEV_TX_BUSY by stopping queue early.Rusty Russell2009-09-241-24/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early. It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure, but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons). For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux network API. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Dinesh Subhraveti <dineshs@us.ibm.com>

* virtio_net: don't free buffers in xmit ringRusty Russell2009-09-241-59/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit path). The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(), reset on every xmit. Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken. So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet(). This was a benchmark win. Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit packet (slowing the guest down further). Attempting mitigation in the host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it wrong. In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there. Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY. Note that the current QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal, but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that. Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified the other end, for a slight optimization.

* virtio_net: return NETDEV_TX_BUSY instead of queueing an extra skb.Rusty Russell2009-09-241-36/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This effectively reverts 99ffc696d10b28580fe93441d627cf290ac4484c "virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY". The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the tasklet in the next patch. If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY. This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

* virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path.Rusty Russell2009-09-241-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times. After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan() generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following patches take advantage of this.

* net: group address list and its countJiri Pirko2009-06-181-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits: 1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer. 2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently on netdevices (with exporting right functions). I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will be used for RX mode, MAC filter table, VLAN filtering, etc... The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and one or more "in" sg entries. The first out entry contains a header defining the class and command. Additional out entries may provide data for the command. The last in entry provides a status response back from the command. Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function when there's data in the channel. We can't readily make use of this in the command paths where we need to use this. Instead, we kick the virtqueue and spin. The kick causes an I/O write, triggering an immediate trap into the hypervisor.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without this fix, virtio_net makes incorrect usage of scatterlists. It sets the end of the scatterlist chain after the first element, despite the fact that more entries come after it. If you try to run dma_map_sg() on one of the scatterlists given to you by add_buf(), you will get a null pointer oops. Signed-off-by: Ira W.

| * virtio_net: Fix MAX_PACKET_LEN to support 802.1Q VLANsAlex Williamson2009-01-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the VLAN tag. We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet. For QEMU/KVM, this results in the backend exiting with a packet truncation error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the host to inform us that the link is down by adding a VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS which indicates that device status is available in virtio_net config. This is currently useful for simulating link down conditions (e.g. using proposed qemu 'set_link' monitor command) but would also be needed if we were to support device assignment via virtio.

* virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation)Mark McLoughlin2008-11-171-20/+153
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up 20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized packets from off-host. The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size. In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer. The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in the virtio_net_hdr. Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as fragments and free the associated skbs. This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100% improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s. Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

* virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pagesMark McLoughlin2008-11-171-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should recycle the pages allocated in this case. A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually caused a barely measurable slowdown.

* netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3Wang Chen2008-11-131-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.
