Yes, but some other layers can use the same trick so it might collide.

Inserting the bond field in qdisc_skb_cb (level0) is safer.

Do you suggest that Infiniband does the same thing? :-)

By the way, I notice data[] is not aligned on a long on 64bit arches.

This might break net/sched/sch_netem.c on some arches, since
time_to_send is a u64.

Looks like we'll get the bonding queue mapping and fix this alignment

Nothing related to HC.
I tried to find out the endpoint state, but found it was halt. I think
this is the root cause.

I ever worked out a patch just as you said and it could work.
However, if this can be fixed by common framework just like usbnet.c,

What's your opinion to handle "-EPROTO" error in usbnet.c?
Please check usbnet.c again, when "-EPROTO" occurs, it just pints
error msg and re-submit the interrupt URB, and then causes endless
"EactErr" error msg.

At least, this patch lets the driver try to fix the error before
resubmit the URB.

I wonder if another way to solve this is not letting ndo_select_queue()
method the responsibility to call skb_set_queue_mapping() itself ?

(ie removing skb_set_queue_mapping() done in dev_pick_tx())

bonding would not have to save/restore skb queue mapping ?

For transmit, it could be done easily as we both send and free skbs
under a lock. I'm not sure how acceptable it is to
take a lock in get_stats but send a separate patch like this
and we'll see what others say.

Just to stress these things do not need to contradict:
you can have per cpu stats for each queue.

I must say I dont understand dev_pick_tx() anymore.

It seems to ignore skb->queue_mapping (unless device provides its own
ndo_select_queue() and this functions is aware of skb->queue_mapping, as
correctly done in ixgbe)

So commit fff3269907897ee (tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK
packets) works on ixgbe, but probably not on other multiqueue devices.

This sounds like a regression to me.

* [PATCH] Revert "niu: Add support for byte queue limits."
From: David Miller @ 2012-06-08  7:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev


This reverts commit efa230f2c68abab817f13473077f8d0cc74f43f3.

BQL doesn't work with how this driver currently only takes TX
interrupts every 1/4 of the TX ring.  That behavior needs to be fixed,
but that's a larger non-trivial task and for now we have to revert
BQL support as this makes the device currently completely unusable.

Well it would get picked up via skb_tx_hash(),

         else if (ops->ndo_select_queue) {
		[...]
         } else {
                 struct sock *sk = skb->sk;
                 queue_index = sk_tx_queue_get(sk);

                 if (queue_index < 0 || skb->ooo_okay ||
                     queue_index >= dev->real_num_tx_queues) {
                         int old_index = queue_index;

                         queue_index = get_xps_queue(dev, skb);
                         if (queue_index < 0)
                                 queue_index = skb_tx_hash(dev, skb);
	[...]


So think this might be OK.

Oh well, its done in skb_tx_hash(), after a few indirections, and if
skb->sk is NULL.

Which happens to be true in net-next for SYNACKS after commit
90ba9b1986b5ac (tcp: tcp_make_synack() can use alloc_skb())

Yes, it sounds like sk setting (sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping) has precedence
over skb->queue_mapping.

Not sure how it works for UDP workload for example.

Unconnected UDP sockets dont have sk_dst_cache, so
sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping stay to -1, so everything seems good.

Do you have the same distribution on old kernels as well ?

As soon as hardware is notified of a transmit, we no longer can assume
skb can be dereferenced, as TX completion might have freed the packet.

Hello,

recently we changed on the router kernel from 2.6.38.1 to 3.4.1 and 
noticed
30% packet loss when traffic increases up to 250MB / s.

Similar is for kernel 3.5-rc1

Here a link to ifstat http://wklej.org/id/767577/

clk_{un}prepare is mandatory for platforms using common clock framework.
Since these drivers are used by SPEAr platform, which supports common
clock framework, add clk_{un}prepare() support for them. Otherwise
the clocks are not correctly en-/disabled and ethernet support doesn't
work.

cat /proc/interrupts
ifconfig -a
tc -s -d qdisc
dmesg
netstat -s
