bonding: Fix bonding crash

2016-09-04T18:41:12Z

Following few steps will crash kernel - (a) Create bonding master > modprobe bonding miimon=50 (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2 > ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \ type macvlan (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond > echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is busy or not. In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to register rx_handler for the new slave. This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

net: remove type_check from dev_get_nest_level()

2016-08-13T22:15:54Z

The idea for type_check in dev_get_nest_level() was to count the number of nested devices of the same type (currently, only macvlan or vlan devices). This prevented the false positive lockdep warning on configurations such as: eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0 <--- macvlan1 However, this doesn't prevent a warning on a configuration such as: eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0 eth1 <--- vlan1 <--- macvlan1 In this case, all the locks end up with a nesting subclass of 1, so lockdep thinks that there is still a deadlock: - in the first case we have (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1) and then take (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1) - in the second case, we have (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1) and then take (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1) By removing the linktype check in dev_get_nest_level() and always incrementing the nesting depth, lockdep considers this configuration valid.

Merge branch 'salted-string-hash'

2016-07-28T19:26:31Z

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the _beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end. That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache setup, and do less at lookup runtime. It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended interface ends up working well for other cases too. Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a 'salt' pointer of NULL. * merge branch 'salted-string-hash': fs/dcache.c: Save one 32-bit multiply in dcache lookup vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash

net: add ndo to setup/query xdp prog in adapter rx

2016-07-20T04:46:31Z

Add one new netdev op for drivers implementing the BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP filter. The single op is used for both setup/query of the xdp program, modelled after ndo_setup_tc. Signed-off-by: Brenden Blanco Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: tracepoint napi:napi_poll add work and budget

2016-07-09T22:05:02Z

An important information for the napi_poll tracepoint is knowing the work done (packets processed) by the napi_poll() call. Add both the work done and budget, as they are related. Handle trace_napi_poll() param change in dropwatch/drop_monitor and in python perf script netdev-times.py in backward compat way, as python fortunately supports optional parameter handling.

net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy ndo calls for L2 upper devices

2016-07-05T16:06:28Z

L2 upper device needs to propagate neigh_construct/destroy calls down to lower devices. Do this by defining default ndo functions and use them in team, bond, bridge and vlan. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mlxsw: spectrum: Add couple of lower device helper functions

2016-07-05T01:25:15Z

Add functions that iterate over lower devices and find port device. As a dependency add netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev and netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev_rcu macro with netdev_all_lower_get_next and netdev_all_lower_get_next_rcu shelpers. Also, add functions to return mlxsw struct according to lower device found and mlxsw_port struct with a reference to lower device.

net_sched: drop packets after root qdisc lock is released

2016-06-25T16:19:35Z

Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue() time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held, delaying a dequeue() draining the queue. Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens, at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible. Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was to provide some flow isolation. This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper. I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.
