net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.

2010-12-14T21:01:14Z

Like RTAX_ADVMSS, make the default calculation go through a dst_ops method rather than caching the computation in the routing cache entries. Now dst metrics are pretty much left as-is when new entries are created, thus optimizing metric sharing becomes a real possibility. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Abstract default ADVMSS behind an accessor.

2010-12-13T20:52:14Z

Make all RTAX_ADVMSS metric accesses go through a new helper function, dst_metric_advmss(). Leave the actual default metric as "zero" in the real metric slot, and compute the actual default value dynamically via a new dst_ops AF specific callback. For stacked IPSEC routes, we use the advmss of the path which preserves existing behavior. Unlike ipv4/ipv6, DecNET ties the advmss to the mtu and thus updates advmss on pmtu updates. This inconsistency in advmss handling results in more raw metric accesses than I wish we ended up with. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Don't pre-seed hoplimit metric.

2010-12-13T06:08:17Z

Always go through a new ip4_dst_hoplimit() helper, just like ipv6. This allowed several simplifications: 1) The interim dst_metric_hoplimit() can go as it's no longer userd. 2) The sysctl_ip_default_ttl entry no longer needs to use ipv4_doint_and_flush, since the sysctl is not cached in routing cache metrics any longer. 3) ipv4_doint_and_flush no longer needs to be exported and therefore can be marked static. When ipv4_doint_and_flush_strategy was removed some time ago, the external declaration in ip.h was mistakenly left around so kill that off too. We have to move the sysctl_ip_default_ttl declaration into ipv4's route cache definition header net/route.h, because currently net/ip.h (where the declaration lives now) has a back dependency on net/route.h Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses.

2010-12-09T18:46:36Z

Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes, to dst_entry metrics values. This will allow us to: 1) More easily change how the metrics are stored. 2) Implement COW for metrics. In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer cache if that is what we end up doing. We can make the _metrics member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

decnet: RCU conversion and get rid of dev_base_lock

2010-11-08T21:50:08Z

While tracking dev_base_lock users, I found decnet used it in dnet_select_source(), but for a wrong purpose: Writers only hold RTNL, not dev_base_lock, so readers must use RCU if they cannot use RTNL. Adds an rcu_head in struct dn_ifaddr and handle proper RCU management. Adds __rcu annotation in dn_route as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: add __rcu annotations to routes.c

Add __rcu annotations to : (struct dst_entry)->rt_next (struct rt_hash_bucket)->chain And use appropriate rcu primitives to reduce sparse warnings if CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flag

2010-10-04T05:17:54Z

While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

tunnels: prepare percpu accounting

2010-09-28T04:30:42Z

Tunnels are going to use percpu for their accounting. They are going to use a new tstats field in net_device. skb_tunnel_rx() is changed to be a wrapper around __skb_tunnel_rx() IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is changed to be a wrapper around __IPTUNNEL_XMIT() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

Reset queue mapping when an skb is reentering the stack via a tunnel. On second pass, the queue mapping from the original device is no longer valid. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
