* ppp: Don't stop and restart queue on every TX packetDavid Woodhouse2012-04-271-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ This combines upstream commit e675f0cc9a872fd152edc0c77acfed19bf28b81e and follow-on bug fix commit 9a5d2bd99e0dfe9a31b3c160073ac445ba3d773f ] For every transmitted packet, ppp_start_xmit() will stop the netdev queue and then, if appropriate, restart it. This causes the TX softirq to run, entirely gratuitously. This is "only" a waste of CPU time in the normal case, but it's actively harmful when the PPP device is a TEQL slave — the wakeup will cause the offending device to receive the next TX packet from the TEQL queue, when it *should* have gone to the next slave in the list. We end up seeing large bursts of packets on just *one* slave device, rather than using the full available bandwidth over all slaves. This patch fixes the problem by *not* unconditionally stopping the queue in ppp_start_xmit(). It adds a return value from ppp_xmit_process() which indicates whether the queue should be stopped or not. It *doesn't* remove the call to netif_wake_queue() from ppp_xmit_process(), because other code paths (especially from ppp_output_wakeup()) need it there and it's messy to push it out to the other callers to do it based on the return value. So we leave it in place — it's a no-op in the case where the queue wasn't stopped, so it's harmless in the TX path. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errorsBen McKeegan2012-03-191-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 8a49ad6e89feb5015e77ce6efeb2678947117e20 ] This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch 'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing' found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case where this is necessary. This results in some discarded fragments remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct. Fragments are discarded whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost. This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages. This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1' option to enable debug logging.) Signed-off-by: Ben McKeegan <ben@netservers.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * ppp: allow disabling multilink protocol ID compressionstephen hemminger2010-12-281-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux would not connect to other router running old version Cisco IOS (12.0). This is most likely a bug in that version of IOS, since it is fixed in later versions. As a workaround this patch allows a module parameter to be set to disable compressing the protocol ID. See: https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3979 RFC 1990 allows an implementation to formulate MP fragments as if protocol compression had been negotiated. This allows us to always send compressed protocol IDs. But some implementations don't accept MP fragments with compressed protocol IDs. This parameter allows us to interoperate with them. The default value of the configurable parameter is the same as the current behavior: protocol compression is enabled. If protocol compression is disabled we will not send compressed protocol IDs. This is based on an earlier patch by Bob Gilligan (using a sysctl). Module parameter is writable to allow for enabling even if ppp is already loaded for other uses.

* | filter: optimize sk_run_filterEric Dumazet2010-11-191-8/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer. As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we remove it from sk_run_filter() params. On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871 (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to avoid too many ifdefs in this code. This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A accumulator. On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter() runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional branch per BPF instruction) # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 2948 0 0 2948 b84 net/core/filter.o 3349 0 0 3349 d15 net/core/filter_pre.o on x86_64 : # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 5173 0 0 5173 1435 net/core/filter.o 5224 0 0 5224 1468 net/core/filter_pre.o Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.

* driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loadingKay Sievers2010-05-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself.

This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used. This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to paper-over broken concepts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500, the skb is likely to be non-linear.

If this happens and (proto >= 0xc000 || proto == PPP_CCPFRAG) then the packet is passed directly to pppd. This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear. The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input().

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* ppp: fix BUG on non-linear SKB (multilink receive)Ben McKeegan2009-11-161-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in non-linear skbs. ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the protocol number. For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as this check is done in ppp_receive_frame(). For the mp receive path, ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb. However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment, the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used. This skb was then passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated protocol header could safely be read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU of PPP link. There are at least 3 situations where this case might arise: - some of the channels are busy - the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less than its full complement of active channels) - by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially increase the effective link MTU of a single link. Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded. This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit 9c705260feea6ae329bc6b6d5f6d2ef0227eda0a 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode() redesign'. Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

* ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesignGabriele Paoloni2009-03-131-91/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels with different speeds to the same bundle. Problem Description: As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel of the bundle. Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc, flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working @1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth). Problem Solution: The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode" function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on 1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels working at different speeds.
