Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
expensive (can be ~88000 us).
This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
non x86 arches)
ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.
This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.
Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.
team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.
Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.
v7->v8:
- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
them.
- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()
v6->v7:
- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
present
v5->v6:
- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers
v4->v5:
- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
list
- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
enslaved.
- Extended Kconfig text
v3->v4:
- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
byte"
- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()
v2->v3:
- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
- fixed rtln->rtnl
v1->v2:
- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
extendable.
- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
- several other bugs were fixed.
- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
"random") in future.

OK I found it, I did some extra tests and believe its ready.
[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference
When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst
reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed
information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference.
We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even
without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load.
We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only
softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios.
This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as
well.
On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg()
calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.
IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware
UDP application.

The driver used NET_IP_ALIGN to remove some additional padding inside of

On MCORE2-machines commit ea812ca1b0
introduces a change which sets NET_IP_ALIGN to 0 by default. Which
triggered the bug on these machines.
This fix introduces a new RXW_PADDING define and uses this instead of
NET_IP_ALIGN. The name was taken from the original SMSC7500 driver which
is provided by SMSC.

from link down to link up. If the delay of pm_schedule_suspend is not long enough,
the device would enter runtime_suspend before link up. After link up, the device
would wake up and reset PHY again. Then, you would find the driver keep in a loop
of runtime_suspend and rumtime_resume.

.. with new name. Because nothing says "really solid kernel release"
like naming it after an extinct animal that just happened to be in the
news lately.
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.
Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:
cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
perror("setlk");
}
EOF
cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test
then on nfs4:
mount --bind file1 file2
/tmp/test < file1 # ok
/tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"...
What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.
The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

Rx byte count was off; instead use the hardware's count. Tx packet
count was counting pre-TSO packets; instead count on-the-wire packets.
Report hardware dropped frame count as rx_fifo_errors.
- The count of transmitted packets reported by the forcedeth driver
reports pre-TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) packet counts and not the
count of the number of packets sent on the wire. This change fixes
the forcedeth driver to report the correct count. Fixed the code by
copying the count stored in the NIC H/W to the value reported by the
driver.
- Count rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors:
We see a lot of rx_drop_frame errors if we disable the rx bottom-halves
for too long. Normally, rx_fifo_errors would be counted in this case.
The rx_drop_frame error count is private to forcedeth and is not
reported by ifconfig or sysfs. The rx_fifo_errors count is currently
unused in the forcedeth driver. It is reported by ifconfig as overruns.
This change reports rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors.
