xen-netback: correctly schedule rate-limited queues

2017-09-10T20:36:05Z

[ Upstream commit dfa523ae9f2542bee4cddaea37b3be3e157f6e6b ] Add a flag to indicate if a queue is rate-limited. Test the flag in NAPI poll handler and avoid rescheduling the queue if true, otherwise we risk locking up the host. The rescheduling will be done in the timer callback function.

xen-netback: making the bandwidth limiter runtime settable

2015-03-20T16:55:15Z

With the current netback, the bandwidth limiter's parameters are only settable during vif setup time. This patch register a watch on them, and thus makes them runtime changeable. When the watch fires, the timer is reset. The timer's mutex is used for fencing the change. Cc: Anthony Liguori Signed-off-by: Imre Palik Acked-by: Wei Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) More iov_iter conversion work from Al Viro. [ The "crypto: switch af_alg_make_sg() to iov_iter" commit was wrong, and this pull actually adds an extra commit on top of the branch I'm pulling to fix that up, so that the pre-merge state is ok. - Linus ] 2) Various optimizations to the ipv4 forwarding information base trie lookup implementation. From Alexander Duyck. 3) Remove sock_iocb altogether, from CHristoph Hellwig. 4) Allow congestion control algorithm selection via routing metrics. From Daniel Borkmann. 5) Make ipv4 uncached route list per-cpu, from Eric Dumazet. 6) Handle rfs hash collisions more gracefully, also from Eric Dumazet. 7) Add xmit_more support to r8169, e1000, and e1000e drivers. From Florian Westphal. 8) Transparent Ethernet Bridging support for GRO, from Jesse Gross. 9) Add BPF packet actions to packet scheduler, from Jiri Pirko. 10) Add support for uniqu flow IDs to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer. 11) New NetCP ethernet driver, from Muralidharan Karicheri and Wingman Kwok. 12) More sanely handle out-of-window dupacks, which can result in serious ACK storms. From Neal Cardwell. 13) Various rhashtable bug fixes and enhancements, from Herbert Xu, Patrick McHardy, and Thomas Graf. 14) Support xmit_more in be2net, from Sathya Perla. 15) Group Policy extensions for vxlan, from Thomas Graf. 16) Remove Checksum Offload support for vxlan, from Tom Herbert. 17) Like ipv4, support lockless transmit over ipv6 UDP sockets.

xen-netback: stop the guest rx thread after a fatal error

2015-02-03T03:39:04Z

After commit e9d8b2c2968499c1f96563e6522c56958d5a1d0d (xen-netback: disable rogue vif in kthread context), a fatal (protocol) error would leave the guest Rx thread spinning, wasting CPU time. Commit ecf08d2dbb96d5a4b4bcc53a39e8d29cc8fef02e (xen-netback: reintroduce guest Rx stall detection) made this even worse by removing a cond_resched() from this path. Since a fatal error is non-recoverable, just allow the guest Rx thread to exit. This requires taking additional refs to the task so the thread exiting early is handled safely.
