When napi_gro_receive\nis used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or\ncall napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives\n__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.\n\nProtocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in\norder to participate in this scheme.\n\nIn addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held\npackets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero\nif it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may\nmatch, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet\nmust not be merged with the new packet.\n\nOnce gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,\nthe held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be\nmerged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to\nthe existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into\nthe existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes\nit impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where\nthe merged skb should be returned.\n\nWhenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive\nfunction should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-\u003esame_flow. Note that if an skb\nmerely matches an existing entry but can\u0027t be merged with it, then\nthis shouldn\u0027t be set.\n\nIf gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,\nit should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-\u003eflush.\n\nHeld packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by\nnapi_complete and napi_rx_complete.\n\nCurrently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.\nThe list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries. In future, this may be\nexpanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.\n\nSigned-off-by: Herbert Xu \u003cherbert@gondor.apana.org.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.

Since the poll_list isn\u0027t surrounded by any other\nstructure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is\ngarbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage\nis.\n\nGiven that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks\narround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best\nsolution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee\nthat the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I\u0027ve\nimplemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in\nthe napi_struct. When executing napi-\u003epoll from the netpoll_path, this bit will\nbe set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not\nremove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next\niteration of net_rx_action.\n\nI\u0027ve tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can\nsee to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through\nnet_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the\nnetpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call\nto net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from\nthe poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given\nthat the alternative is a crash.\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Horman \u003cnhorman@tuxdriver.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.

Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree.\n\nUpdate: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16. Moved the\nlocation of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath. Made more\nconsistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a\ndefine for the max GSO size.\n\nUpdate: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.\n\nUpdate: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to\nunsigned - thanks Stephen!\n\nThis patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of\nthe TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection. By setting the\nnetdevice\u0027s gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO\nframe size based on that value. This will propogate into the TCP\nlayer, and send TSO\u0027s of that size to the hardware.\n\nThis can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a\nper-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices\ncoexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.\n\nThis can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB\nTSO\u0027s, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation\noffloading.\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr \u003cpeter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.
