net: add a hardware buffer management helper API

2016-03-14T16:19:46+00:00

This basic implementation allows to share code between driver using hardware buffer management. As the code is hardware agnostic, there is few helpers, most of the optimization brought by the an HW BM has to be done at driver level.

Introduce devlink infrastructure

2016-03-01T21:07:29+00:00

Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to userspace via generic Netlink interface. There are two basic objects defined: devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device. This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace. Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add dst_cache support

2016-02-17T01:21:48+00:00

This patch add a generic, lockless dst cache implementation. The need for lock is avoided updating the dst cache fields only in per cpu scope, and requiring that the cache manipulation functions are invoked with the local bh disabled. The refresh_ts and reset_ts fields are used to ensure the cache consistency in case of cuncurrent cache update (dst_cache_set*) and reset operation (dst_cache_reset). Consider the following scenario: CPU1: CPU2: dst_cache_reset() dst_cache_set() The dst entry set passed to dst_cache_set() should not be used for later dst cache lookup, because it's obtained using old configuration values. Since the refresh_ts is updated only on dst_cache lookup, the cached value in the above scenario will be discarded on the next lookup.

soreuseport: define reuseport groups

2016-01-05T03:49:58+00:00

struct sock_reuseport is an optional shared structure referenced by each socket belonging to a reuseport group. When a socket is bound to an address/port not yet in use and the reuseport flag has been set, the structure will be allocated and attached to the newly bound socket. When subsequent calls to bind are made for the same address/port, the shared structure will be updated to include the new socket and the newly bound socket will reference the group structure. Usually, when an incoming packet was destined for a reuseport group, all sockets in the same group needed to be considered before a dispatching decision was made. With this structure, an appropriate socket can be found after looking up just one socket in the group. This shared structure will also allow for more complicated decisions to be made when selecting a socket (eg a BPF filter). This work is based off a similar implementation written by Ying Cai for implementing policy-based reuseport selection. Signed-off-by: Craig Gallek Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

lwtunnel: infrastructure for handling light weight tunnels like mpls

2015-07-21T17:39:03+00:00

Provides infrastructure to parse/dump/store encap information for light weight tunnels like mpls. Encap information for such tunnels is associated with fib routes. This infrastructure is based on previous suggestions from Eric Biederman to follow the xfrm infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine

2014-10-08T00:39:25+00:00

Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams: "Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material. These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while. The fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as dmaengine maintainer. That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/ activity is going through Vinod these days. The net_dma removal has not been in -next. It has developed simple conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18). Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/. Summary: 1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38 "dmaengine maintainer update" 2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13 (commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of performance regression. 3/ Miscellaneous fixes" * tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine: net: make tcp_cleanup_rbuf private net_dma: revert 'copied_early' net_dma: simple removal dmaengine maintainer update dmatest: prevent memory leakage on error path in thread ioat: Use time_before_jiffies() dmaengine: fix xor sources continuation dma: mv_xor: Rename __mv_xor_slot_cleanup() to mv_xor_slot_cleanup() dma: mv_xor: Remove all callers of mv_xor_slot_cleanup() dma: mv_xor: Remove unneeded mv_xor_clean_completed_slots() call ioat: Use pci_enable_msix_exact() instead of pci_enable_msix() drivers: dma: Include appropriate header file in dca.c drivers: dma: Mark functions as static in dma_v3.c dma: mv_xor: Add DMA API error checks ioat/dca: Use dev_is_pci() to check whether it is pci device

net_dma: simple removal

2014-09-28T14:05:16+00:00

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used and there is no plan to fix it. This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards. Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to subsequent patches. Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in dma_pin_iovec_pages(): https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/177 Cc: Dave Jiang Cc: Vinod Koul Cc: David Whipple Cc: Alexander Duyck Cc: Reported-by: Roman Gushchin Acked-by: David S.

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file

2014-04-01T20:43:18+00:00

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.
