net-timestamp: only report sw timestamp if reporting bit is set

2014-09-05T22:02:43Z

The timestamping API has separate bits for generating and reporting timestamps. A software timestamp should only be reported for a packet when the packet has the relevant generation flag (SKBTX_..) set and the socket has reporting bit SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE set. The second check was accidentally removed. Reinstitute the original behavior. Tested: Without this patch, Documentation/networking/txtimestamp reports timestamps regardless of whether SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is set. After the patch, it only reports them when the flag is set.

tcp: fix tcp_release_cb() to dispatch via address family for mtu_reduced()

2014-08-14T21:38:54Z

Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb(). Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6 code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had an IPv4 dst.

net-timestamp: sock_tx_timestamp() fix

2014-08-06T19:38:07Z

sock_tx_timestamp() should not ignore initial *tx_flags value, as TCP stack can store SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG in it. Also first argument (struct sock *) can be const.

net-timestamp: add key to disambiguate concurrent datagrams

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique correlate looped data with original send() call (for application level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex, requiring packet inspection. Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of sock_extended_err. The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx timestamp generation is enabled. The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0. The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced first.

net-timestamp: move timestamp flags out of sk_flags

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit. Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags. Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt. SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn ---- The u16 in sock can be moved into a 16-bit hole below sk_gso_max_segs, though that scatters tstamp fields throughout the struct. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-timestamp: extend SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data struct

2014-08-05T23:35:53Z

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined implicitly as timespec[3]. 1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and 2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to define the existing behavior. The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

2014-07-29T18:39:50Z

The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software, hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the kernel. The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero. Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

udp: Use hash2 for long hash1 chains in __udp*_lib_mcast_deliver.

2014-07-17T06:29:52Z

Many multicast sources can have the same port which can result in a very large list when hashing by port only. Hash by address and port instead if this is the case. This makes multicast more similar to unicast. On a 24-core machine receiving from 500 multicast sockets on the same port, before this patch 80% of system CPU was used up by spin locking and only ~25% of packets were successfully delivered. With this patch, all packets are delivered and kernel overhead is ~8% system CPU on spinlocks. Signed-off-by: David Held Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
