Using throw_uevent() is now possible to trigger uevent signal that can
be recognised in userspace. Uevents will be triggered through the
/devices/virtual/net/{MESH_IFACE} kobject.
A triggered uevent has three properties:
- type: the event class. Who generates the event (only 'gw' is currently
defined). Corresponds to the BATTYPE uevent variable.
- action: the associated action with the event ('add'/'change'/'del' are
currently defined). Corresponds to the BATACTION uevent variable.
- data: any useful data for the userspace. Corresponds to the BATDATA
uevent variable.

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.
A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.
This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.
The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
- big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
connected clients)
- high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
OGM losses
The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.
To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.
When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

SNMP mibs use two percpu arrays, one used in BH context, another in USER
context. With increasing number of cpus in machines, and fact that ipv6
uses per network device ipstats_mib, this is consuming a lot of memory
if many network devices are registered.
commit be281e554e (ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes) shrinked
percpu needs for ipv6, but we can reduce memory use a bit more.
With recent percpu infrastructure (irqsafe_cpu_inc() ...), we no longer
need this BH/USER separation since we can update counters in a single
x86 instruction, regardless of the BH/USER context.
Other arches than x86 might need to disable irq in their
irqsafe_cpu_inc() implementation : If this happens to be a problem, we
can make SNMP_ARRAY_SZ arch dependent, but a previous poll
( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/174 ) to arch maintainers did not
raise strong opposition.
Only on 32bit arches, we need to disable BH for 64bit counters updates
done from USER context (currently used for IP MIB)
This also reduces vmlinux size :

There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been
validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag -
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum
examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when
met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization.
No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.
Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP,
when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial
checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement
could be measured by netperf.
