* net_sched: fix dequeuer fairnessjamal2011-06-271-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Results on dummy device can be seen in my netconf 2011 slides. These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to the one used in the netconf2011 results. It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G. Test setup: ---------- System under test sending packets out. Additional box connected directly dropping packets. Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default netdev default length of 1000 used as is. The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in the results). 5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked. results ------- The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample was taken on, The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role. The "avg" for each run is the number of times each cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair. 3.0-rc4 (plain) cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 21853354 21598183 22199900 cpu1 431058 473476 393159 cpu2 481975 477529 458466 cpu3 23261406 23412299 22894315 avg 11506948 11490372 11486460 3.0-rc4 with patch and default weight 64 cpu Pkt run1 Pkt run2 Pkt run3 ================================================ cpu0 13205312 13109359 13132333 cpu1 10189914 10159127 10122270 cpu2 10213871 10124367 10168722 cpu3 13165760 13164767 13096705 avg 11693714 11639405 11630008 As you can see the system is still not perfect but is a lot better than what it was before... At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine with that value. The system could be made more fair if we reduce the weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not we could add yet another knob. Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.hAlexey Dobriyan2011-06-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface.

* sch_sfq: avoid giving spurious NET_XMIT_CN signalsEric Dumazet2011-05-231-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While chasing a possible net_sched bug, I found that IP fragments have litle chance to pass a congestioned SFQ qdisc : - Say SFQ qdisc is full because one flow is non responsive. - ip_fragment() wants to send two fragments belonging to an idle flow. - sfq_enqueue() queues first packet, but see queue limit reached : - sfq_enqueue() drops one packet from 'big consumer', and returns NET_XMIT_CN. - ip_fragment() cancel remaining fragments. This patch restores fairness, making sure we return NET_XMIT_CN only if we dropped a packet from the same flow.

* net: avoid synchronize_rcu() in dev_deactivate_manyEric Dumazet2011-05-221-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set to noop_qdisc. This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller. But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in rollback_registered_many(). After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL latency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times. So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed will fix this problem. Now to go test that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It can be changed by another qdisc but a child qdisc MUST not drop a packet previously queued. This is because SFB needs to handle a dequeued packet in order to maintain its virtual queue states. pfifo_head_drop or CHOKe should not be used. 2) ECN is enabled by default, unlike RED/CHOKe/GRED With help from Patrick McHardy & Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Juliusz Chroboczek <Juliusz.Chroboczek@pps.jussieu.fr> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> CC: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> CC: John W.

The core idea is: For every packet arrival: Calculate Qave if (Qave < minth) Queue the new packet else Select randomly a packet from the queue if (both packets from same flow) then Drop both the packets else if (Qave > maxth) Drop packet else Admit packet with proability p (same as RED) See also: Rong Pan, Balaji Prabhakar, Konstantinos Psounis, "CHOKe: a stateless active queue management scheme for approximating fair bandwidth allocation", Proceeding of INFOCOM'2000, March 2000.

* | sfq: deadlock in error pathstephen hemminger2011-02-021-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change to allow divisor to be a parameter (in 2.6.38-rc1) commit 817fb15dfd988d8dda916ee04fa506f0c466b9d6 introduced a possible deadlock caught by sparse. The scheduler tree lock was left locked in the case of an incorrect divisor value. Simplest fix is to move test outside of lock which also solves problem of partial update.

| * | net_sched: accurate bytes/packets stats/ratesEric Dumazet2011-01-2013-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 44b8288308ac9d (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated) This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have effect on dequeue() rate.

* | | net_sched: TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS generalizationEric Dumazet2011-01-215-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now qdisc stab is handled before TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS test in __dev_xmit_skb(), we can generalize TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to other qdiscs than pfifo_fast : pfifo, bfifo, pfifo_head_drop and sfq SFQ is special because it can have external classifiers, and in these cases, we cannot bypass queue discipline (packet could be dropped by classifier) without admin asking it, or further changes. Its worth doing this, especially for SFQ, avoiding dirtying memory in case no packets are already waiting in queue. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | | net_sched: RCU conversion of stabEric Dumazet2011-01-202-10/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts stab qdisc management to RCU, so that we can perform the qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() call before getting qdisc lock. This shortens the lock's held time in __dev_xmit_skb(). This permits more qdiscs to get TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS status, avoiding lot of cache misses and so reducing latencies.

* | | net_sched: move TCQ_F_THROTTLED flagEric Dumazet2011-01-206-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 371121057607e (net: QDISC_STATE_RUNNING dont need atomic bit ops) I moved QDISC_STATE_RUNNING flag to __state container, located in the cache line containing qdisc lock and often dirtied fields. I now move TCQ_F_THROTTLED bit too, so that we let first cache line read mostly, and shared by all cpus. This should speedup HTB/CBQ for example. Not using test_bit()/__clear_bit()/__test_and_set_bit allows to use an "unsigned int" for __state container, reducing by 8 bytes Qdisc size. Introduce helpers to hide implementation details.
