Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink
dump callbacks.
I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making
good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations.
This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow
on a workload adding/removing network devices in background.
All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does
roughly a revert of commits :
1c2d670f36 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks
6313c1e099 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks
This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.
It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu
read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu()

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).
This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.
All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.

Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond

original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions
are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode.
Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged
thanks to vlan_untag()

When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states. Some drivers
may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals. This patch
changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
identifying an adapter.
The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.
Compile tested only. Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.

The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable
TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. However, the test in
netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated
to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed
that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags.
Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from
user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid
feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if
scatter-gather is disabled. Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so
user-space sees all TSO features as disabled.

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is

vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.

__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected
This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in

The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long
period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates,
device enumeration, and various important operations that one might
want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED.
We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the
core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and
drivers may well depend upon holding the lock.
Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets
the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any
driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously).
When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting
and only acquires it around calls to this operation.
Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be
removed once all in-tree drivers are converted.

This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.
Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.
This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86.
No-cache copy disabled:
672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41
No-cache copy enabled:
702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955
Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:
No-cache copy disabled:
79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76
No-cache copy enabled:
83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88
Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).
This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".
Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream

Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).
Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)
This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
- new fields in struct net_device:
+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
- new netdev_ops:
+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
enabling features or their combinations
+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
changed dev->features
- new ethtool commands:
+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
changed
+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed. Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

before this commit, tun also uses group sysfs, so after this
commit checkin, kernel warns like this:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/net/vnet0/group'

break existing userspace, so rename group sysfs entry for net device

In commit aa94210411 ("net: init ingress
queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues
into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late.
The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup()
callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is
what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the
queues.
Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback
runs.
This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any
state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations,
etc.). It may, however, make state changes that are undone by
free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the
ipoib driver's setup routine).
The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace
object on RX/TX queue allocation failures.

On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping
it and causing it to be reused by GRO.
Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes
the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer.
This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream
kernel due to changes in VLAN processing.
However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer
in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.

Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.
Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.
The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.
For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.
Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.
But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.
TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.
Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.
Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.
The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.
