UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.
4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.
Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper
Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.
dmesg logs two new lines :
[ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs
Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.
The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.
Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.
A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.
This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

[RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators
We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator

# tc -s -d qdisc

rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
one (because no estimator is active)
After this patch, tc command output is :
$ tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.
This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
example has a mandatory rate estimator)

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.

When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it
performs something like:
struct vifctl vc = {
.vifc_vifi = 1,
.vifc_flags = 0,
.vifc_threshold = 1,
.vifc_rate_limit = 0,
.vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical
interface, e.g. eth0 */
.vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
};
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));
This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);
The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a
single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found.
The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface
by its index, instead of IP address:
struct vifctl vc = {
.vifc_vifi = 1,
.vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX, /* NEW */
.vifc_threshold = 1,
.vifc_rate_limit = 0,
.vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"), /* NEW */
.vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
};

We can avoid sk->sk_socket and socket->fasync_list referencing on sockets
with no fasync() structures. (socket->fasync_list ptr is probably already in cache
because it shares a cache line with socket->wait, ie location pointed by sk->sk_sleep)
This avoids one cache line load per incoming packet for common cases (no fasync())

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.
But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.
So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899
The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
if (now == part->stamp)
return;
- if (part->in_flight) {
+ if (part_in_flight(part)) {
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));
With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ.
Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop
a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused
latency.
The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals
with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did
slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue
with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of
time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second
granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock.
For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency
correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either
get no correction, or a 50us correction.
Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying
frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error
have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without
NOHZ.
So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing
the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval
logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop
needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original
granularity error for adjtimex() changes.
Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code
(patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the
current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before.
An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in
the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked
this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible
overflows if the shift value gets too large.

Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information
I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss
during an AF_PACKET packet capture session. Specifically the requestors want to
see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40
frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file. In order
to do this we need:
1) The kernel to export this data to user space
2) The applications to make use of it
This patch addresses item (1). It does this by doing the following:
A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we
also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap.
B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the
value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark. skb->cb would nominally be the place to
record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading
skb->mark. Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be
unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx
path to the application. After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero
po->stats.tp_gap. This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost
between any two enqueued packets
C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look
at skb->mark for that frame. If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the
msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA. Its a 32 bit integer that
represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous
frame received.
Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the
socket is closed, some gap data might be lost. This is covered by the use of
the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data. With a bit of
math, the final gap can be determined that way.
I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.
