As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
macro, this is a little safer.
The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head. Otherwise
tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.
Here is a kernel panic from my host.
[ 103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
[ 103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
...
[ 146.301158] Call Trace:
[ 146.301158] [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0
Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.
In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
snd_una snd_nxt write_seq
|_________|________|
|
sk_send_head
After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
changed:
snd_una snd_nxt, write_seq
|_________ ________|
|
sk_send_head
This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
synchronized.
Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
sk_write_queue is empty.
tcp_write_wakeup
skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
tcp_fragment
if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq))
tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
tcp_event_new_data_sent
tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);
I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
repair mode. Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
so it's always is in consistent state.
I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

Once VF tries to send Tx packets, HW will raise an attention (and FW possibly

There was a bug in xennet_alloc_rx_buffers, when allocating page or

the rx_refill_timer timer won't be scheduled. If finally the remaining
request buffers in rx ring less than what backend driver expected,
the backend driver would think of rx ring as full and start dropping packets.
In such situation, there is no way for the netfront driver to recover
automatically, so that the device can not work properly.
The patch fixes the problem by always scheduling rx_refill_timer timer when
alloc_page or __netdev_alloc_skb fails, no matter whether rx_batch queue is
empty or not. It ensures that the rx ring request buffers will finally meet

For performance reasons, sch_fq tried hard to not setup timers for every
sent packet, using a quantum based heuristic : A delay is setup only if
the flow exhausted its credit.
Problem is that application limited flows can refill their credit
for every queued packet, and they can evade pacing.
This problem can also be triggered when TCP flows use small MSS values,
as TSO auto sizing builds packets that are smaller than the default fq
quantum (3028 bytes)
This patch adds a 40 ms delay to guard flow credit refill.

macvlan: disable LRO on lowerdev instead of a macvlan
A customer of ours encountered a problem with LRO on an ixgbe network

was, not the ethernet device itself.
I believe the solution is exactly the same as what we do for "normal"

LRO is disabled on the underlying "real" device instead.

e.g. because
- the macvlan device is inserted into a bridge
- IPv6 forwarding is enabled for it
- it is in a different namespace than lowerdev and IPv4
forwarding is enabled in it
we need to disable LRO on its underlying device instead (as we

If priority/traffic class field in IPv6 header is set (seen when
using ssh), the uncompression sets the TC and Flow fields incorrectly.
Example:
This is IPv6 header of a sent packet. Note the priority/TC (=1) in
the first byte.
00000000: 61 00 00 00 00 2c 06 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020: 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57
This gets compressed like this in the sending side
00000000: 72 31 04 06 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2 00 16
00000010: aa 2d fe 92 86 4e be c6 ....
In the receiving end, the packet gets uncompressed to this
IPv6 header
00000000: 60 06 06 02 00 2a 1e 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020: ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2
First four bytes are set incorrectly and we have also lost
two bytes from destination address.
The fix is to switch the case values in switch statement
when checking the TC field.

Commit 2613af0ed1 ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page
frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE
to MTU-size. However, the merge buffer size does not take into account the
size of the virtio-net header. Consequently, packets that are MTU-size
will take two buffers intead of one (to store the virtio-net header),
substantially decreasing the throughput of MTU-size traffic due to TCP
window / SKB truesize effects.
This commit changes the mergeable buffer size to include the virtio-net
header. The buffer size is cacheline-aligned because skb_page_frag_refill
will not automatically align the requested size.
Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs
between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs and
vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a single 4 CPU cgroup
cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes in the system will not
be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Transmit offloads and mergeable receive
buffers are enabled, but guest_tso4 / guest_csum are explicitly disabled to
force MTU-sized packets on the receiver.

In af3e095a1f, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access
bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned().
Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series
of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again
on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted
to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic.
A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event
is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by
arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then
offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following
proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes.
The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an
added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.

Allow making the ops array const by not modifying the ops
flags on registration but rather only when ops are sent
out in the family information.
No users are updated yet except for the pre_doit/post_doit
calls in wireless (the only ones that exist now.)

Instead of using a linked list, use an array. This reduces
the data size needed by the users of genetlink, for example
in wireless (net/wireless/nl80211.c) on 64-bit it frees up
over 1K of data space.
Remove the attempted sending of CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS ctrl event
since genl_ctrl_event(CTRL_CMD_NEWOPS, ...) only returns
-EINVAL anyway, therefore no such event could ever be sent.

genl_register_ops() is still needed for internal registration,
but is no longer available to users of the API.

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to
have error handling in the registration.
Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are
needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this.
Due to the removal of duplication in the netlink policies,
this reduces the size of wimax by almost 1k.
