3464645a10 virtio_net: Pass gfp flags when allocating rx buffers.
Currently, the refill path for RX buffers will always allocate the
buffers as GFP_ATOMIC, even if we are in process context.  This will
fail to apply memory pressure as the worker thread will not contribute
to the freeing of memory.

Fix this by changing add_recvbuf_small to use the gfp variant allocator,
__netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().

f1776dade1 virtio_net: use non-reentrant workqueue.
Michael S. Tsirkin also noticed that we could run the refill work
multiple CPUs: if we kick off a refill on one CPU and then on another,
they would both manipulate the queue at the same time (they use
napi_disable to avoid racing against the receive handler itself).

Tejun points out that this is what the WQ_NON_REENTRANT flag is for,
and that there is a convenient system kthread we can use.

b2baed69e6 virtio_net: set/cancel work on ndo_open/ndo_stop
Michael S. Tsirkin noticed that we could run the refill work after
ndo_close, which can re-enable napi - we don't disable it until
virtnet_remove.  This is clearly wrong, so move the workqueue control
to ndo_open and ndo_stop (aka. virtnet_open and virtnet_close).

One subtle point: virtnet_probe() could simply fail if it couldn't
allocate a receive buffer, but that's less polite in virtnet_open() so
we schedule a refill as we do in the normal receive path if we run out
of memory.

eb93992207 module_param: make bool parameters really bool (net & drivers/net)
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

(Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false).

If the size is larger than a max size of a skb, it means that we shouldn't

10a8d94a95 virtio_net: introduce VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID
There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been
validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag -
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum
examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when
met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization.

No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.

Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP,
when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial
checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement
could be measured by netperf.

0141480205 ethtool: Provide a default implementation of ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo
The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found
through the driver model now.  Instead of requiring drivers to provide
this information redundantly through the ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo
operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define
the operation.  Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver
to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to
be set either.

Remove implementations of get_drvinfo and ethtool_ops that provide
only this information.

a767bde4d4 virtio_net: implements ethtool_ops.get_drvinfo
I often use "ethtool -i" command to check what driver controls the
ehternet device.  But because current virtio_net driver doesn't
support "ethtool -i", it becomes the following:

        # ethtool -i eth3
        Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

This patch simply adds the "ethtool -i" support. The following is the
result when using the virtio_net driver with my patch applied to.

        # ethtool -i eth3
        driver: virtio_net
        version: N/A
        firmware-version: N/A
        bus-info: virtio0

Personally, "-i" is one of the most frequently-used option, and most
network drivers support "ethtool -i", so I think virtio_net also
should do.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  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.

This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss
anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when
it was suitable.

9ab86bbcf8 virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:53:38 -0800
virtio_net receives packets from its pre-allocated vring buffers, then it
delivers these packets to upper layer protocols as skb buffs. So it's not
necessary to pre-allocate skb for each mergable buffer, then frees extra
skbs when buffers are merged into a large packet. This patch has deferred
skb allocation in receiving packets for both big packets and mergeable buffers
to reduce skb pre-allocations and skb frees. It frees unused buffers by calling
detach_unused_buf in vring, so recv skb queue is not needed.

39d3215774 virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM.  After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side.  As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.

The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.

My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled.  The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.

As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.

The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.

Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.
