Re: 2.6.20.7 TCP cubic (and bic) initial slow start way too slow?
Hi Sangtae, On Sat, 12 May 2007, Sangtae Ha wrote: Hi Bill, This is the small patch that has been applied to 2.6.22. Also, there is limited slow start, which is an experimental RFC (RFC3742), to surmount this large increase during slow start. But, your kernel might not have this. Please check there is a sysctl variable tcp_max_ssthresh. I reviewed RFC3742. It seems to me to be problematic for 10-GigE and faster nets, although it might be OK for GigE nets. Take the case of a 10-GigE net connecting two sites with an 85 ms RTT (real world case I am interested in connecting an East coast and West coast site). That equates to: gwiz% bc -l scale=10 10^10*0.085/9000/8 11805.55 up to 11806 9000-byte jumbo frame packets possibly in flight during one RTT at full 10-GigE line rate. Using the formula from RFC3742: log(max_ssthresh) + (cwnd - max_ssthresh)/(max_ssthresh/2) [note I believe the formula should have a +1] and the recommended value for max_ssthresh of 100 gives: gwiz% bc -l scale=10 l(100)/l(2)+(11806-100)/(100/2) 240.7638561902 That's 241 RTTs to get up to full 10-GigE line rate, or a total period of 241*0.085 = 20.485 seconds. And if you were using standard 1500-byte packets, the numbers would become up to 70834 packets in flight during one RTT, 1422 RTTs to achieve full 10-GigE line rate, which results in a total period of 120.870 seconds. Considering that international links can have even larger RTTs and the future will bring 100-GigE links, it doesn't appear this method scales well to extremely high performance, large RTT paths. For 10-GigE, max_ssthresh would need to be scaled up to 1000. Combined with using 9000-byte jumbo frames, this results in: gwiz% bc -l scale=10 l(1000)/l(2)+(11806-1000)/(1000/2) 31.5777842854 That's only 32 RTTs to achieve full 10-GigE line rate, or a total period of 2.720 seconds (compared to a bare minimum of 14 RTTs and 1.190 seconds). Again using standard 1500-byte packets would take six times as long. And while a 1000/2=500 packet increase may seem like a lot, it's only 4.2% of the available 10-GigE bandwidth, which is the same percentage as a 100/2=50 packet increase on a GigE network. BTW there seems to be a calculation error in RFC3742. They give an example of a congestion window of 83000 packets (with max_ssthresh set to 100). If you do the calculation based on the formula given (which I believe to be correct), the number of RTTs works out to be 1665. If you drop the /2 from the formula, only then do you get 836 RTTs as indicated in the RFC example. My 2.6.20.7 kernel does not have a tcp_max_ssthresh variable, but it is an undocumented variable in 2.6.21-git13, so I may do some more tests if and when I can get that working. I applied your tcp_cubic.c patch to my 2.6.20.7 kernel and ran some additional tests. The results were basically the same, which is to be expected since you indicated the change didn't affect the slow start behavior. I did run a couple of new tests, transferring a fixed 1 GB amount of data, and reducing the amount of buffering to the netem delay emulator so it could only sustain a data rate of about 1.6 Gbps.

The issue is not that the driver is not 'endian clean'. This is a driver for an on-chip ethernet MAC on an ARM CPU. I.e. the ethernet MAC is on the CPU itself, it's not some kind of PCI device or something like that. The ARM CPU in question can be run in either little endian or big endian mode. Making a driver work in both modes of operation is generally not just an issue of adding a couple of be32_to_cpu()s in the right places. For example, intel IXP2000 and IXP23xx CPU support in arch/arm only supports big-endian mode of operation, and none of the associated drivers support little-endian mode. Most of the other CPU support in arch/arm only supports little-endian mode, and none of the associated drivers support big-endian mode. According to your criterion, that would mean that most of the ARM drivers (alsa, usb, framebuffer, networking, etc.) should never have been accepted in the kernel tree in the first place. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Re: [PATCH] Intel IXP4xx network drivers v.2 - Ethernet and HSS
Lots of people wrote: Lots of huffing and puffing about endian support by this driver ... For what it's worth, the NSLU2-Linux project (which has over 10,000 known users of our custom ixp4xx firmware, most of which will eventually be users of this new driver) is *endian-neutral*. We support both big-endian and little-endian usage of the ixp4xx in a number of consumer devices like the NSLU2, NAS100d, DSMG600, and FSG3. We are very interested in getting this driver into mainline in the most expedient and correct fashion acceptable to the relevant mainline maintainers. We have also discussed this situation with the author of the previous set of ixp4xx open-source ethernet driver patches, and he also recommends that we put our support behind this new set of patches. So, if the author of these patches wishes to concentrate on big-endian support first, then we will not say (and have not said) anything which will block inclusion of a big-endian only version of this driver. In parallel to this initial upstream push, we will be working with the author to make sure that this driver supports little-endian devices as well (as we are endian-neutral in our project's support of consumer devices based on the ixp4xx). If we get this done before upstream acceptance of the big-endian version, that will be great. If we don't, then we'll work to hit the next merge window. We will create a functionally correct little-endian version first (the simple byte-swapping implementation) and will work on a performance-enhanced version later (if that is even possible without prohibitive massive upstream changes). There simply is no reason for everyone to be arguing about this. Remember that what we are seeing here is an open-source replacement for a long-time proprietary driver. We should all rejoice in that, support the author of these patches, and not fight amongst ourselves. -- Rod Whitby -- NSLU2-Linux Project Lead - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yes, I can almost confirm that this (open-coding of spin_lock_bh,

I also came across this idiom in other places in the networking code
so it seems to be pretty much the standard way. I wish I owned
bluetooth hardware, could've tested this for you myself.
does this mean we should revert previous changes to the locking or only
apply this on top of it?
I've fixed a simple patch on top of 2.6.22-rc1 below.

NSLU2-Linux supports both BE and LE. We have about 5,000 users running BE and about 5,000 users running LE. Perhaps, but somehow I don't think that we'd have seen any reaction if the submitted driver had only supported LE and not BE. Please just write the patch and let's get this over with.

Purpose of bit shifts in tcp_get_info
Dear Community, I was wondering what the purpose of the bit shifts in tcp_get_info right after the jiffies conversion might be. What's the time unit after that shift? info-tcpi_rtt = jiffies_to_usecs(tp-srtt)3; info-tcpi_rttvar = jiffies_to_usecs(tp-mdev)2; [...] info-tcpi_rcv_rtt = jiffies_to_usecs(tp-rcv_rtt_est.rtt)3; Maybe somebody has a hint for me?

Maybe Krzysztof can't actually test it himself, which is fine - but not even pretending to be endian clean is not what proper Linux drivers do. The drivers can only work with IXP4xx CPU and that's not the typical endianess problem cross-platform drivers sometimes have.

[patch 0/7] CAN: Add new PF_CAN protocol family
This patch series applies against linux-2.6.22-rc1-git4. It adds a new protocol family to Linux for communication on the CAN (Controller Area Network) using the socket API. The current implementation supports two protocols in the family, a raw protocol for sending and receiving raw CAN frames, and a broadcast manager protocol, which effeciently handles periodically sent broadcast messages, which are typical in CAN environments. There is also a virtual CAN network driver which only loops back sent CAN frames. Drivers for real CAN hardware are also being worked on and are nearly complete. These will be released later, or you can find them in the subversion repository at http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/socketcan. Additional information about the concepts of the CAN protocol family can be found in the file Documentation/networking/can.txt, added by patch 7/7. Userspace tools (can-utils) and test suites for the different CAN protocols can also be found in the subversion repository. -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Actually, it should not print any message at all.
pci_enable_msi() failure is a normal event (as you point out). Even at
KERN_INFO level, the message is still misleading.
I've been reworking some of this code and there is even a pci_disable_msi()
missing in case pci_request_irq failed. I'll post a patch to clean it up in a
second.
Cheers,
Auke

Overview / What is Socket CAN + + +The socketcan package is an implementation of CAN protocols +(Controller Area Network) for Linux. CAN is a networking technology +which has wide-spread use in automation, embedded devices, and +automotive fields. While there have been other CAN implementations +for Linux based on character devices, Socket CAN uses the Berkeley +socket API, the Linux network stack and implements the CAN device +drivers as network interfaces. The CAN socket API has been designed +as similar as possible to the TCP/IP protocols to allow programmers, +familiar with network programming, to easily learn how to use CAN +sockets. + +2. Motivation / Why using the socket API + + +There have been CAN implementations for Linux before Socket CAN so the +question arises, why we have started another project. Most existing +implementations come as a device driver for some CAN hardware, they +are based on character devices and provide comparatively little +functionality. Usually, there is only a hardware-specific device +driver which provides a character device interface to send and +receive raw CAN frames, directly to/from the controller hardware. +Queueing of frames and higher-level transport protocols like ISO-TP +have to be implemented in user space applications. Also, most +character-device implementations support only one single process to +open the device at a time, similar to a serial interface. Exchanging +the CAN controller requires employment of another device driver and +often the need for adaption of large parts of the application to the +new driver's API. + +Socket CAN was designed to overcome all of these limitations. A new +protocol family has been implemented which provides a socket interface +to user space applications and which builds upon the Linux network +layer, so to use all of the provided queueing functionality. Device +drivers for CAN controller hardware register itself with the Linux +network layer as a network device, so that CAN frames from the +controller can be passed up to the network layer and on to the CAN +protocol family module and also vice-versa. Also, the protocol family +module provides an API for transport protocol modules to register, so +that any number of transport protocols can be loaded or unloaded +dynamically. In fact, the can core module alone does not provide any +protocol and can not be used without loading at least one additional +protocol module. Multiple sockets can be opened at the same time, +on different or the same protocol module and they can listen/send +frames on different or the same CAN IDs. Several sockets listening on +the same interface for frames with the same CAN ID are all passed the +same received matching CAN frames. An application wishing to +communicate using a specific transport protocol, e.g. ISO-TP, just +selects that protocol when opening the socket, and then can read and +write application data byte streams, without having to deal with +CAN-IDs, frames, etc. + +Similar functionality visible from user-space could be provided
[PATCH] e1000: Fix msi enable leak on error, don't print error message, cleanup
pci_enable_msi failure is a normal event so we should not print any error.
Going over the code I spotted a missing pci_disable_msi() leak when irq
allocation fails. The whole code also needed a cleanup, so I combined the
two different calls to pci_request_irq into a single call making this
look a lot better.

Re: select(0, ..) is valid ?
Hi Hugh, It's interesting that compat_core_sys_select() shows this kmalloc(0) failure but core_sys_select() does not. That's because core_sys_select() avoids kmalloc by using a buffer on the stack for small allocations (and 0 sure is small). Shouldn't compat_core_sys_select() do just the same? Or is SLUB going to be so efficient that doing so is a waste of time? Nice catch, the original optimisation from Andi is: http://git.kernel.org/git-new/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f And I think it makes sense for the compat code to do it too.

Can can_ifindex be turned into a unsigned short?
Hm - did you ever search for ifindex in the kernel?
E.g. in struct net_device in include/linux/netdevice.h , or functions
like dev_get_by_index() ?
The interface index (ifindex) is always(!) defined as an integer.
I think, we would get rightly knocked defining ifindex as a short value ;-)

Re: [PATCH] e1000: Fix msi enable leak on error, don't print error message, cleanup
Some more of my paranoid questions :) So, if a driver tries to enable MSI and that is unsuccessful (I'll try to avoid using the possibly loaded term fails) shouldn't that show-up _somewhere_? Just how normal is an attempt to enable MSI not succeding going to remain over time and aren't there times when it does indeed mean that someone should be looking into it? rick jones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

[PATCH 2/3] ibm_emac: improved PHY support
Original patch is from Jeff Haran [EMAIL PROTECTED] with my minor style
fixes. His comments follow:
The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a
read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4),
followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While
the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE
specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843)
the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set
(bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the
write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software
reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its
power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating
the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to
spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear
before doing the modify/write.
The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a
software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control
register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same
register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY
itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset
is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this
software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of
mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on
some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the
function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing
the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

[PATCH 2/2] ibmveth: Automatically enable larger rx buffer pools for larger mtu
Currently, ibmveth maintains several rx buffer pools, which can
be modified through sysfs. By default, pools are not allocated by
default such that jumbo frames cannot be supported without first
activating larger rx buffer pools. This results in failures when attempting
to change the mtu. This patch makes ibmveth automatically allocate
these larger buffer pools when the mtu is changed.

The only system health monitor I would expect to be parsing that sort of thing would be a human. Perhaps I'm just backing-into the meta question via the specifics of this driver patch. just looking at /proc/interrupts, while it tells you what sort of interrupt is being used, it doesn't (IIRC) say anything about what sort of interrupt the driver _tried_ to use. True. In the context of this thread, it could be any number of reasons: MSI isn't compiled in. MSI was disabled at runtime via kernel command line. MSI was disabled by BIOS quirk. MSI enable was attempted, but failed for some reason. None of those reasons are really driver-specific, or need driver-specific complaint messages. Agreed. But is the PCI (?) subsystem doing something in that regard or is this a hole? rick jones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
[PATCH] gianfar: Add I/O barriers when touching buffer descriptor ownership.
The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.
Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of
bdp-length and bdp-status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering
was also theoretically possible.

[PATCH] libertas: skb dereferenced after netif_rx
In libertas_process_rxed_packet() and process_rxed_802_11_packet() the
skb is dereferenced after being passed to netif_rx (called from
libertas_upload_rx_packet). Spotted by Coverity (1658, 1659).
Also, libertas_upload_rx_packet() unconditionally returns 0 so the error
check is dead code - might as well take it out.

PROBLEM: SIS900 Driver change in Linux Kernel 2.6.21 causes kernel panic.
Kernel version 2.6.20.4 works. What I'm experiencing is a kernel panic as soon as the first received packet comes in via the sis900 ethernet interface. The machine is locked up and part of the kernel panic message is lost as it has scrolled off the screen and the virtual terminal has crashed as well (the kernel appears to have done a permanent halt - the keyboard LEDs are flashing). The only way I could get the machine to boot without this problem was to unplug the ethernet cable - but it would appear as soon as the the first packet was received after plugging the cable back in. That's not good since the machine in question is a server in a co-location facility (I can't print the screen either). The kernel panic was repeatable without fail. As this usually happens before init is called, the only program running is the kernel itself. I don't have any syslog/dmesg message recorded to disk for the event. I've rolled back to version 2.6.20.4 in the meantime. Hardware: Motherboard is a PC Chips M810LR Revision 5.0 with an AMD Athlon T-bird series 1100/200FSB CPU and 1Gb of PC133 SDRAM. (Yes, it's an older machine, but its load isn't that great). I compiled the kernel from a full source tar-ball, not from a patched source based on a prior version. What I could get from the kernel symbol traceback is that the first symbol happens to be sis900_rxbuf (or something like that) - which confirms to me that it is definently this driver that has the problem. I compile the driver directly into the kernel - I'm not using it as a module. Whatever changes were done, it's obvious that the driver is receiving a packet before some data structure is ready to handle it and the kernel is fatally exiting as a result. Although there are two changes (2.6.20.4 - 2.6.21), I suspect that the first one is the cause of the problem. --- http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.21 commit b748d9e3b80dc7e6ce6bf7399f57964b99a4104c Author: Neil Horman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri Apr 20 09:54:58 2007 -0400 sis900: Allocate rx replacement buffer before rx operation The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

AFAIK, gso_skb can be a list of skb's. Can we add a list
to another list using __skb_queue_head()?
Also, if gso_skb is a list of multiple skb's, i think the
count needs to be decremented by the number of segments in
gso_skb.

That's not good since the machine in question is a server in a co-location facility (I can't print the screen either). The kernel panic was repeatable without fail. As this usually happens before init is called, the only program running is the kernel itself. I don't have any syslog/dmesg message recorded to disk for the event. I've rolled back to version 2.6.20.4 in the meantime.

I do not know why sk_buff-head would be null, or would be set in a racy kind of way, or why the rt patches would cause this. But the evidence implicates that. Would it be possible that a locking bug in spidernet would cause it under some circumstances to get a stale skb pointer ?

Hi Hugh,
It's interesting that compat_core_sys_select() shows this kmalloc(0)
failure but core_sys_select() does not. That's because core_sys_select()
avoids kmalloc by using a buffer on the stack for small allocations (and
0 sure is small). Shouldn't compat_core_sys_select() do just the same?
Or is SLUB going to be so efficient that doing so is a waste of time?
Nice catch, the original optimisation from Andi is:
http://git.kernel.org/git-new/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f
And I think it makes sense for the compat code to do it too.
Anton
Here it is ..
Should I do one for poll() also ?
Thanks,

Optimize select by a using stack space for small fd sets.
core_sys_select() already has this optimization. This is
for compat version.

[PATCH] spidernet: skb used after netif_receive_skb
The stats update code in spider_net_pass_skb_up() is touching the skb after it's been passed up to the stack. To avoid that, just update the stats first.

Does that mean this one has received testing and is good for -stable now, or does it need some bake time? Chris, I think it is okay, but please wait for Dave's approval.

Thanks, that clears it up, forgot to check netdev before asking. Looks like the 2.6.22 plans are to drop the machine detection, and enable 88E8056 everywhere.
