rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size

2013-01-17T16:43:58Z

commit c7ac8679bec9397afe8918f788cbcef88c38da54 upstream. The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

net,rcu: convert call_rcu(dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu) to kfree_rcu()

2011-05-08T05:50:53Z

The rcu callback dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we use kfree_rcu() instead of the call_rcu(dn_dev_free_ifa_rcu). Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett

net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks

2011-05-02T22:26:28Z

Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed. It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Patrick McHardy Cc: Remi Denis-Courmont Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.

net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-18T06:23:14Z

This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files) all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.

net: convert multicast list to list_head

2010-04-03T21:22:15Z

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list. +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global" variant) instead of a function parameter. +removes dev_mcast.c completely. +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers) Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
