* gro: Optimise Ethernet header comparisonHerbert Xu2009-02-081-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimises the Ethernet header comparison to use 2-byte and 4-byte xors instead of memcmp. In order to facilitate this, the actual comparison is now carried out by the callers of the shared dev_gro_receive function. This has a significant impact when receiving 1500B packets through 10GbE.

* gro: Avoid copying headers of unmerged packetsHerbert Xu2009-01-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge. LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers from the frags structure. This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* gro: Move common completion code into helpersHerbert Xu2009-01-291-35/+4
| | | | | | | | | Currently VLAN still has a bit of common code handling the aftermath of GRO that's shared with the common path. This patch moves them into shared helpers to reduce code duplication.

* vlan: Export symbols as non GPL symbols.Ben Greear2009-01-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the 'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do without accessing private .h files for any module that cannot use GPL-only symbols. Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.

* vlan: Add GRO interfacesHerbert Xu2009-01-061-23/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception. With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the interface is concerned. That is, you can now take any LRO driver and convert it over to GRO. As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it entirely by storing dev in skb->dev. This is OK because VLAN gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb getting called.

| * net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handlerPatrick McHardy2008-11-041-13/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet sockets (commit bc1d0411) caused a warning for non-NAPI drivers. The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ context: [ 27.779463] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 27.779509] WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:136 local_bh_enable+0x37/0x81() ...

* vlan: deliver packets received with VLAN acceleration to network tapsPatrick McHardy2008-07-141-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet sockets (and other network taps) completely. For locally existing VLANs, they appear directly on the VLAN device, for unknown VLANs they are silently dropped. Add a new function netif_nit_deliver() to deliver incoming packets to all network interface taps and use it in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() to make VLAN packets visible on the underlying device.

* vlan: TCI related type and naming cleanupsPatrick McHardy2008-07-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VLAN code contains multiple spots that use tag, id and tci as identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers are sometimes capitalized. - consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values - consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values - remove capitalization - add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb} Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* vlan: uninline __vlan_hwaccel_rxPatrick McHardy2008-07-081-0/+48
The function is huge and included at least once in every VLAN acceleration capable driver. Uninline it; to avoid having drivers depend on the VLAN module, the function is always built in statically when VLAN is enabled. With all VLAN acceleration capable drivers that build on x86_64 enabled, this results in: text data bss dec hex filename 6515227 854044 343968 7713239 75b1d7 vmlinux.inlined 6505637 854044 343968 7703649 758c61 vmlinux.uninlined ---------------------------------------------------------- -9590 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
