ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes

2011-05-19T20:21:22Z

ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because they use percpu storage. needed size per device is : (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2 On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool. Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t) Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

snmp: SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS_BH() always called from softirq

2011-03-22T01:12:54Z

We dont need to test if we run from softirq context, we definitely are. This saves few instructions in ip_rcv() & ip_rcv_finish() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: kill unused macros from head file

2010-12-02T21:27:33Z

These macros have been defined for several years since v2.6.12-rc2（tracing by git）, but never be used. So remove them. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: snmp: fix the wrong ICMP_MIB_MAX value

2010-12-02T21:27:31Z

__ICMP_MIB_MAX is equal to the total number of icmp mib, So no need to add 1. This wastes 4/8 bytes memory. Change it to be same as ICMP6_MIB_MAX, TCP_MIB_MAX, UDP_MIB_MAX. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches

2010-06-30T20:31:19Z

/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters. Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size of "unsigned long" in kernel. This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit. This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide. # netstat -s|egrep "InOctets|OutOctets" InOctets: 244068329096 OutOctets: 244069348848 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

snmp: fix SNMP_ADD_STATS()

2010-06-23T18:48:19Z

commit aa2ea0586d9d (tcp: fix outsegs stat for TSO segments) incorrectly assumed SNMP_ADD_STATS() was used from BH context. Fix this using mib[!in_softirq()] instead of mib[0] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: fix outsegs stat for TSO segments

2010-04-22T23:00:00Z

Account for TSO segments of an skb in TCP_MIB_OUTSEGS counter. Without doing this, the counter can be off by orders of magnitude from the actual number of segments sent. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: snmp mib cleanup

2010-03-22T01:34:16Z

There is no point to align or pad mibs to cache lines, they are per cpu allocated with a 8 bytes alignment anyway. This wastes space for no gain. This patch removes __SNMP_MIB_ALIGN__ Since SNMP mibs contain "unsigned long" fields only, we can relax the allocation alignment from "unsigned long long" to "unsigned long" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to net

2010-02-17T07:05:38Z

Add __percpu sparse annotations to net. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds. The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit interesting. DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly. All snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are updated to cast it to (void __percpu **). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: David S.
