David S. Miller [Wed, 11 Jul 2012 05:53:57 +0000 (22:53 -0700)]
Merge branch 'metrics_restructure'

This patch series works towards the goal of minimizing the amount
of things that can change in an ipv4 route.

In a regime where the routing cache is removed, route changes will
lead to cloning in the FIB tables or similar.

The largest trigger of route metrics writes, TCP, now has it's own
cache of dynamic metric state.  The timewait timestamps are stored
there now as well.

As a result of that, pre-cowing metrics is no longer necessary,
and therefore FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS is removed.

Redirect and PMTU handling is moved back into the ipv4 routes.  I'm
sorry for all the headaches trying to do this in the inetpeer has
caused, it was the wrong approach for sure.

Since metrics become read-only for ipv4 we no longer need the inetpeer
hung off of the ipv4 routes either.  So those disappear too.

Also, timewait sockets no longer need to hold onto an inetpeer either.

After this series, we still have some details to resolve wrt. PMTU and
redirects for a route-cache-less system:

1) With just the plain route cache removal, PMTU will continue to
   work mostly fine.  This is because of how the local route users
   call down into the PMTU update code with the route they already
   hold.

   However, if we wish to cache pre-computed routes in fib_info
   nexthops (which we want for performance), then we need to add
   route cloning for PMTU events.

2) Redirects require more work.  First, redirects must be changed to
   be handled like PMTU.  Wherein we call down into the sockets and
   other entities, and then they call back into the routing code with
   the route they were using.

   So we'll be adding an ->update_nexthop() method alongside
   ->update_pmtu().

   And then, like for PMTU, we'll need cloning support once we start
   caching routes in the fib_info nexthops.

But that's it, we can completely pull the trigger and remove the
routing cache with minimal disruptions.

As it is, this patch series alone helps a lot of things.  For one,
routing cache entry creation should be a lot faster, because we no
longer do inetpeer lookups (even to check if an entry exists).

This patch series also opens the door for non-DST_HOST ipv4 routes,
because nothing fundamentally cares about rt->rt_dst any more.  It
can be removed with the base routing cache removal patch.  In fact,
that was the primary goal of this patch series.

sctp_packet_append_chunk was pretty inefficient.  Specifially, it was called
recursively while trying to bundle auth and sack chunks.  Because of that we
call sctp_packet_bundle_sack and sctp_packet_bundle_auth a total of 4 times for
every call to sctp_packet_append_chunk, knowing that at least 3 of those calls
will do nothing.

So lets refactor sctp_packet_bundle_auth to have an outer part that does the
attempted bundling, and an inner part that just does the chunk appends.  This
saves us several calls per iteration that we just don't need.

Also, noticed that the auth and sack bundling fail to free the chunks they
allocate if the append fails, so make sure we add that in

asix: avoid copies in tx path

I noticed excess calls to skb_copy_expand() or memmove() in asix driver.

This driver needs to push 4 bytes in front of frame (packet_len)
and maybe add 4 bytes after the end (if padlen is 4)

So it should set needed_headroom & needed_tailroom to avoid
copies. But its not enough, because many packets are cloned
before entering asix_tx_fixup() and this driver use skb_cloned()
as a lazy way to check if it can push and put additional bytes in frame.

Avoid skb_copy_expand() expensive call, using following rules :

- We are allowed to push 4 bytes in headroom if skb_header_cloned()
  is false (and if we have 4 bytes of headroom)

- We are allowed to put 4 bytes at tail if skb_cloned()
  is false (and if we have 4 bytes of tailroom)

TCP packets for example are cloned, but skb_header_release()
was called in tcp stack, allowing us to use headroom for our needs.

{NET, IB}/mlx4: Add device managed flow steering firmware API

If supported by firmware use the device managed flow steering
API, that which we call device managed steering mode. Else, if
the firmware supports the B0 steering mode use it, and finally,
if none of the above, use the A0 steering mode.

When the steering mode is device managed, the code is modified

unicast and multicast, and the IB stack multicast attach calls
done through the mlx4_ib driver are all routed to use the device
managed API.

When attaching rule using device managed flow steering API,
the firmware returns a 64 bit registration id, which is to be
provided during detach.

Currently the firmware is always programmed during HCA initialization
to use standard L2 hashing. Future work should be done to allow

net-next: Add netif_get_num_default_rss_queues

Most multi-queue networking driver consider the number of online cpus when
configuring RSS queues.
This patch adds a wrapper to the number of cpus, setting an upper limit on the
number of cpus a driver should consider (by default) when allocating resources
for his queues.
