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

2011-05-08T05:50:57+00:00

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

pkt_sched: Fix lockdep warning on est_tree_lock in gen_estimator

2010-09-02T20:22:11+00:00

This patch fixes a lockdep warning: [ 516.287584] ========================================================= [ 516.288386] [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ] [ 516.288386] 2.6.35b #7 [ 516.288386] --------------------------------------------------------- [ 516.288386] swapper/0 just changed the state of lock: [ 516.288386] (&qdisc_tx_lock){+.-...}, at: [] est_timer+0x62/0x1b4 [ 516.288386] but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past: [ 516.288386] (est_tree_lock){+.+...} [ 516.288386] [ 516.288386] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. ... So, est_tree_lock needs BH protection because it's taken by qdisc_tx_lock, which is used both in BH and process contexts. (Full warning with this patch at netdev, 02 Sep 2010.)

pkt_sched: gen_kill_estimator() rcu fixes

2010-06-12T01:37:08+00:00

gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing stats_lock. This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4 (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU protected. A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU protected. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

pkt_sched: gen_estimator: add a new lock

2010-06-11T05:53:52+00:00

gen_kill_estimator() / gen_new_estimator() is not always called with RTNL held. net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c is one user of these API that do not hold RTNL, so random corruptions can occur between "tc" and "iptables". Add a new fine grained lock instead of trying to use RTNL in netfilter. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

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.

net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition

2009-08-18T04:33:49+00:00

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

pkt_sched: gen_estimator: use 64 bit intermediate counters for bps

2009-05-19T02:26:37+00:00

gen_estimator can overflow bps (bytes per second) with Gb links, while it was designed with a u32 API, with a theorical limit of 34360Mbit (2^32 bytes) Using 64 bit intermediate avbps/brate counters can allow us to reach this theorical limit.

pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Optimize gen_estimator_active()

2008-11-26T23:24:32+00:00

Since all other gen_estimator functions use bstats and rate_est params together, and searching for them is optimized now, let's use this also in gen_estimator_active(). The return type of gen_estimator_active() is changed to bool, and gen_find_node() parameters to const, btw. In tcf_act_police_locate() a check for ACT_P_CREATED is added before calling gen_estimator_active(). Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
