For N cpus, with full throttle traffic on all N CPUs, funneling traffic
to the same ethernet device, the devices queue lock is contended by all
N CPUs constantly. The TX lock is only contended by a max of 2 CPUS.
In the current mode of operation, after all the work of entering the
dequeue region, we may endup aborting the path if we are unable to get
the tx lock and go back to contend for the queue lock. As N goes up,
this gets worse.
The changes in this patch result in a small increase in performance
with a 4CPU (2xdual-core) with no irq binding. Both e1000 and tg3
showed similar behavior;

Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to
netdev (some editing done):
Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on
the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's
access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and
enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF
seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1].
How does FRTO help?
===================
FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary
retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise
due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were
lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur
e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission).
Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary)
retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much
even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high
percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually
when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment
unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like
this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery,
then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in
the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the
original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is
interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to
cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the
worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers
which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of
the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often
occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in
that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq
=> very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those
unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the
first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO
is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl).
Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect
spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative
behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering,
usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2
cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding
the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version,
the detection is quite robust.
FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the
RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common
in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

Basically this change enables it, previously other undo_marker
users were left with nothing. Reverse undo_marker logic
completely to get it set right in CA_Loss. On the other hand,
when spurious RTO is detected, clear it. Clearing might be too
heavy for some scenarios but seems safe enough starting point
for now and shouldn't have much effect except in majority of
cases (if in any).
By adding a new FLAG_ we avoid looping through write_queue when
RTO occurs.

In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for
already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And
indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or
some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made
to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's
worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal
case).
The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so
just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some
reason.

During receive processing, we select the key long before using it and
because there's no locking it is possible that we kfree() the key
after having selected it but before using it for crypto operations.
Obviously, this is bad.
Secondly, during transmit processing, there are two possible races: We
have a similar race between select_key() and using it for encryption,
but we also have a race here between select_key() and hardware
encryption (both when a key is removed.)
This patch solves these issues by using RCU: when a key is to be freed,
we first remove the pointer from the appropriate places (sdata->keys,
sdata->default_key, sta->key) using rcu_assign_pointer() and then
synchronize_rcu(). Then, we can safely kfree() the key and remove it
from the hardware. There's a window here where the hardware may still
be using it for decryption, but we can't work around that without having
two hardware callbacks, one to disable the key for RX and one to disable
it for TX; but the worst thing that will happen is that we receive a
packet decrypted that we don't find a key for any more and then drop it.
When we add a key, we first need to upload it to the hardware and then,
using rcu_assign_pointer() again, link it into our structures.
In the code using keys (TX/RX paths) we use rcu_dereference() to get the
key and enclose the whole tx/rx section in a rcu_read_lock() ...
rcu_read_unlock() block. Because we've uploaded the key to hardware
before linking it into internal structures, we can guarantee that it is
valid once get to into tx().
One possible race condition remains, however: when we have hardware
acceleration enabled and the driver shuts down the queues, we end up
queueing the frame. If now somebody removes the key, the key will be
removed from hwaccel and then then driver will be asked to encrypt the
frame with a key index that has been removed. Hence, drivers will need
to be aware that the hw_key_index they are passed might not be under
all circumstances. Most drivers will, however, simply ignore that
condition and encrypt the frame with the selected key anyway, this
only results in a frame being encrypted with a wrong key or dropped
(rightfully) because the key was not valid. There isn't much we can
do about it unless we want to walk the pending frame queue every time
a key is removed and remove all frames that used it.
This race condition, however, will most likely be solved once we add
multiqueue support to mac80211 because then frames will be queued
further up the stack instead of after being processed.

scan the whole hash table, freeing unused entries.
Converting it to use a workqueue instead of softirq is a nice
move because we can allow rt_check_expire() to do the scan
it is supposed to do, without hogging the CPU.
This has an impact on the average number of entries in cache,
reducing ram usage. Cache is more responsive to parameter
changes (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout and
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval)
Note: Maybe the default value of gc_interval (60 seconds)
is too high, since this means we actually need 5 (300/60)
invocations to scan the whole table.

The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are
against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin
the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where
the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening
a /proc file when it has already gone to zero.
To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net.
maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is
greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it
has gone to zero.
get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network
namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it.
PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use
the wrong helper function.
Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case
where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because
effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files
we are trying to access don't exist anymore.

When the periodic IP route cache flush is done (every 600 seconds on
default configuration), some hosts suffer a lot and eventually trigger
the "soft lockup" message.
dst_run_gc() is doing a scan of a possibly huge list of dst_entries,
eventually freeing some (less than 1%) of them, while holding the
dst_lock spinlock for the whole scan.
Then it rearms a timer to redo the full thing 1/10 s later...
The slowdown can last one minute or so, depending on how active are
the tcp sessions.
This second version of the patch converts the processing from a softirq
based one to a workqueue.
Even if the list of entries in garbage_list is huge, host is still
responsive to softirqs and can make progress.
Instead of resetting gc timer to 0.1 second if one entry was freed in a
gc run, we do this if more than 10% of entries were freed.

This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate
a network device is local to a single network namespace and
should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we
need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback
device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple
network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network
namespace.
This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace
a function used to move a network device from one network
namespace to another. To the network device nothing
special appears to happen, to the components of the network
stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered
in the network namespace it is in, and a new device
was registered in the network namespace the device
was moved to.
This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that
upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the
movable network devices to the initial network namespace
so they are not lost.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol

Ultimately it will be register_netdev that examines what

This patch modifies alloc_netdev to initialize the network

This gets it right for the vast majority of devices so their
drivers need not be modified and for those few pseudo devices
that need something different they can change this parameter
before calling register_netdevice.
The network namespace parameter on a network device is not
reference counted as the devices are inside of a network namespace

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.
Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.
Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per

- struct net. The network namespace data structure.
This structure will grow as variables are made per network
namespace but this is the minimal starting point.
- Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace.
I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace
from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references
and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure
is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures
like the ipv4 route cache.

Andi mentioned he did something like this already, but never submitted
it.
The dhcp client application uses AF_PACKET with a packet filter to
receive data. The application doesn't even use timestamps, but because
the AF_PACKET API has timestamps, they get turned on globally which
causes an expensive time of day lookup for every packet received on
any system that uses the standard DHCP client.
The fix is to not enable the timestamp (but use if if available).
This causes the time lookup to only occur on those packets that are
destined for the AF_PACKET socket. The timestamping occurs after
packet filtering so all packets dropped by filtering to not cause a
clock call.
The one downside of this a a few microseconds additional delay added
from the normal timestamping location (netif_rx) until the receive
callback in AF_PACKET. But since the offset is fairly consistent it
should not upset applications that do want really use timestamps, like
wireshark.

This moves all the key handling code out from ieee80211_ioctl.c
into key.c and also does the following changes including documentation
updates in mac80211.h:
1) Turn off hardware acceleration for keys when the interface
is down. This is necessary because otherwise monitor
interfaces could be decrypting frames for other interfaces
that are down at the moment. Also, it should go some way
towards better suspend/resume support, in any case the
routines used here could be used for that as well.
Additionally, this makes the driver interface nicer, keys
for a specific local MAC address are only ever present
while an interface with that MAC address is enabled.
2) Change driver set_key() callback interface to allow only
return values of -ENOSPC, -EOPNOTSUPP and 0, warn on all
other return values. This allows debugging the stack when
a driver notices it's handed a key while it is down.
3) Invert the flag meaning to KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE.
4) Remove REMOVE_ALL_KEYS command as it isn't used nor do we
want to use it, we'll use DISABLE_KEY for each key. It is
hard to use REMOVE_ALL_KEYS because we can handle multiple

6) Remove IEEE80211_HW_NO_TKIP_WMM_HWACCEL in favour of per-key

7) Tell driver that a (non-WEP) key is used only for transmission
by using an all-zeroes station MAC address when configuring.
8) Change the set_key() callback to have access to the local MAC
address the key is being added for.

we should probably extend the sta_table_notification()

This patch embeds the struct ieee80211_key_conf into struct ieee80211_key
and thus avoids allocations and having data present twice.
This required some more changes:
1) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_TX_KEY key flag.
This flag isn't used by drivers nor should it be since
we have a set_key_idx() callback. Maybe that callback needs
to be extended to include the key conf, but only a driver that
requires it will tell.
2) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_WEP_ONLY key flag.
This flag is global, so it shouldn't be passed in the key
conf structure. Pass it to the function instead.
Also, this patch removes the AID parameter to the set_key() callback
because it is currently unused and the hardware currently cannot know
about the AID anyway. I suspect this was used with some hardware that
actually selected the AID itself, but that functionality was removed.
Additionally, I've removed the ALG_NULL key algorithm since we have
ALG_NONE.

When doing key selection for software decryption, mac80211 gets
a few things wrong: it always uses pairwise keys if configured,
even if the frame is addressed to a multicast address. Also, it
doesn't allow using a key index of zero if a pairwise key has
also been found.
This patch changes the key selection code to be (more) in line
with the 802.11 specification. I have confirmed that with this,
multicast frames are correctly decrypted and I've tested with
WEP as well.
While at it, I've cleaned up the semantics of the hardware flags
IEEE80211_HW_WEP_INCLUDE_IV and IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP
and clarified them in the mac80211.h header; it is also now
allowed to set the IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP option even if
it only applies to frames that have been decrypted by the hw,
unencrypted frames must be dropped but encrypted frames that
the hardware couldn't handle can be passed up unmodified.

David Woodhouse noticed that under some circumstances the number of slab
allocations kept growing. After looking a bit, this seemed to happen
when you had a management mode interface that was *down*.
The reason for this is that when the device is down, all management
frames get queued to the in-kernel MLME (via ieee80211_sta_rx_mgmt) but
then the sta work is invoked but doesn't run when the netif is down.
When you then bring the interface up, all such frames are freed, but if
you change the mode all of them are lost because the skb queue is
reinitialised as soon as you go back to managed mode. The skb queue is
correctly cleared when the interface is brought down, but the code
doesn't account for the fact that it may be filled while it is not up.
This patch should fix the issue by simply ignoring all interfaces that
are down when going through the RX handlers.

IPv4 IPsec tunnel gateway incorrectly sends redirect to
sender if it is onlink host when network device the IPsec tunnelled
packet is arrived is the same as the one the decapsulated packet
is sent.
With this patch, it omits to send the redirect when the forwarding
skbuff carries secpath, since such skbuff should be assumed as
a decapsulated packet from IPsec tunnel by own.
Request for comments:
Alternatively we'd have another way to change net/ipv4/route.c
(__mkroute_input) to use RTCF_DOREDIRECT flag unless skbuff
has no secpath. It is better than this patch at performance
point of view because IPv4 redirect judgement is done at
routing slow-path. However, it should be taken care of resource
changes between SAD(XFRM states) and routing table. In other words,
When IPv4 SAD is changed does the related routing entry go to its
slow-path? If not, it is reasonable to apply this patch.

This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

Previously TCP had a transitional state during which reno
counted segments that are already below the current window into
sacked_out, which is now prevented. In addition, re-try now
the unconditional S+L skb catching.
This approach conservatively calls just remove_sack and leaves
reset_sack() calls alone. The best solution to the whole problem
would be to first calculate the new sacked_out fully (this patch
does not move reno_sack_reset calls from original sites and thus
does not implement this). However, that would require very
invasive change to fastretrans_alert (perhaps even slicing it to
two halves). Alternatively, all callers of tcp_packets_in_flight
(i.e., users that depend on sacked_out) should be postponed
until the new sacked_out has been calculated but it isn't any

There is no need for such check in pkts_acked because the
callback is not invoked unless at least one segment got fully

F-RTO does not touch SACKED_ACKED bits at all, so there is no
need to recount them in tcp_enter_frto_loss. After removal of
the else branch, nested ifs can be combined.
This must also reset sacked_out when SACK is not in use as TCP
could have received some duplicate ACKs prior RTO. To achieve
that in a sane manner, tcp_reset_reno_sack was re-placed by the
previous patch.

Currently neighbour event notifications are limited to update
notifications and only sent if the ARP daemon is enabled. This
patch extends the existing notification code by also reporting
neighbours being removed due to gc or administratively and
removes the dependency on the ARP daemon. This allows to keep
track of neighbour states without periodically fetching the
complete neighbour table.

This patch provides generic Large Receive Offload (LRO) functionality
for IPv4/TCP traffic.
LRO combines received tcp packets to a single larger tcp packet and
passes them then to the network stack in order to increase performance
(throughput). The interface supports two modes: Drivers can either
pass SKBs or fragment lists to the LRO engine.

This routine gets the parsed rtnl attributes and creates a new

This is nothing but a copy-paste-ed part of rtnl_newlink() function
that is responsible for creation of new device.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.
For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
restricted to AP-only subifs.
ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.
Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
- ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
- ieee80211_rts_duration
- ieee80211_ctstoself_duration
- ieee80211_rts_get
- ieee80211_ctstoself_get
Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through
set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the
driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used.
Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit
and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should
be used this is not really useful.
This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the
ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be
used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used.
This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets,
but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no
perfect cure for this problem.. :(

My cheapy D-Link AP behaves strangely w.r.t reassociations.
The following sequence of commands causes me to lose association and to be
unable to regain it:
ifconfig eth8 down
ifconfig eth8 up
iwconfig eth8 essid <x>
This is because mac80211 tries to reassociate, rather than just associate.
My AP replies with an association response (not a reassociation response...)
denying the association with code 12: "Association denied due to reason
outside the scope of this standard"
mac80211 tries this reassociation another 4 times or so before finally giving
up.
I see 2 problems here:
1. bringing the interface down and up again should be resetting interface state
i.e. after the interface is brought down, it should have no memory of if or
where it was previously associated
2. after the first reassociation fails, mac80211 should fall back to
standard association for the next attempt
