[PATCH v3 net-next 0/4] net: low latency sockets follow ups

[Eliezer Tamir]

David,

Here are three clean up patches, plus one that adds a socket option for LLS.

Patch 1 converts low latency sockets to sched_clock.
Patch 2 removes the config menu for NET_LL_RX_POLL and defaults to y.
Patch 3 converts sysctl_net_ll_poll into an unsigned int
Patch 4 adds an SO_LL socket option to allow per-socket control of busy polling.

I will reply to this thread with a patch to sockperf that enables
the socket option. (unchanged from v2)

Again, thanks to everyone for their comments.

-Eliezer


Change log:

v3
- Suggested by David Miller and Stephen Hemminger:
  added a patch to covert from get_cycles() to sched_clock(),
  remove dependency on X86_TSC.
- Suggested by Eric Dumazet:
  un-exported sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

v2
- added a patch to convert sysctl_net_ll_poll into an unsigned int.
- suggested by Eric Dimazet: treat sk_ll_usec as a u_int rather than a u_long.
- suggested by Ben Huchings: allow unprivileged user to decrease SO_LL value,
  correct return value when operation is not allowed.

[PATCH v3 net-next 1/4] net: convert low latency sockets to sched_clock()

[Eliezer Tamir]

Use sched_clock() instead of get_cycles().
We can use sched_clock() because we don't care much about accuracy.
Remove the dependency on X86_TSC

Remove NET_LL_RX_POLL from the config menu.

[PATCH v3 net-next 3/4] net: change sysctl_net_ll_poll into an unsigned int

[Eliezer Tamir]

There is no reason for sysctl_net_ll_poll to be an unsigned long.
Change it into an unsigned int.
Fix the proc handler.

Oh well, you re-introduce the overflow

[PATCH v3 net-next 4/4] net: add socket option for low latency polling

[Eliezer Tamir]

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

[PATCH] sockperf: add SO_LL socketop support

[Eliezer Tamir]

Add lls socket option support to sockperf.
Right now we always get the option before set to show the option is 
working properly. We should probably remove that in an official release.
use --lls (value in usecs) to override global setting.

Sorry, this is the patch from v1.
I will send a corrected patch in a moment.

[PATCH corrected v2 sockperf] sockperf: add SO_LL socketop support

[Eliezer Tamir]

Add lls socket option support.
use --lls (value in usecs) to override global setting.
Right now we always get and print the value of the option before we set,
to show that the option works properly.
This should be removed in an official release.

Please respin with the overflow introduced by patch #3 corrected, everything
else looks fine to me.
