This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot
of code duplication in the classifier action modules.
We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that
hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with.
Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct
plus their module specific struct members. You go from a common
object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes
use of container_of() to do the dirty work.
This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c
and keeping it around was more work than the it's value.

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:
1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.
2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.
I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.
The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.
So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of
lockless drivers. In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end
has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers.
With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing
the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine
of the underlying driver will be made.
The idea is simple. There are two entry points in to the xmit routine.
The first comes from dev_queue_xmit. That one is easily stopped by
using synchronize_rcu. This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc
before the synchronize_rcu call. That in turn causes all subsequent
packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped. The synchronize_rcu call
also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section.
The other entry point is from qdisc_run. Since we now have a bit that
indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the
bit is off.
I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear. This is
useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again. It is
also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run.
I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only
purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have
exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because
it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued. It
appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue
lock while transmitting. That in turn is needed for devices that spend a
lot of time in their transmit routine.
There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently
single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a
queue).
Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt
a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to
process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered
correctly.
The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this.
BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the
kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the
new __qdisc_run function.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks
and forced marks but sum them together again to not break
backwards compatibility.

Make "QoS and/or fair queueing" have its own menu, it's too big to be
inlined into "Network options". Remove the obsolete NET_QOS option.
Automatically select NET_CLS if needed. Do the same for NET_ESTIMATOR
but allow it to be selected manually for statistical purposes. Add
comments to separate queueing from classification. Fix dependencies
and ordering of classifiers. Improve descriptions/help texts and
remove outdated pieces.

Opterons with frequency scaling have fully unsynchronized TSCs
running at different frequencies, so using TSCs there is not a good idea.
Also some other x86 boxes have this problem. gettimeofday should be good
enough, so just disable it.

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \
((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

qdisc_create_dflt() is missing to destroy the newly allocated
default qdisc if the initialization fails resulting in leaks
of all kinds. The only caller in mainline which may trigger
this bug is sch_tbf.c in tbf_create_dflt_qdisc().
Note: qdisc_create_dflt() doesn't fulfill the official locking
requirements of qdisc_destroy() but since the qdisc could
never be seen by the outside world this doesn't matter
and it can stay as-is until the locking of pkt_sched
is cleaned up.
