2008-02-08aoe: add module parameter for users who need more outstanding I/OEd L. Cashin
An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that the AoE initiator can send before getting a response. The aoe_maxout parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit. It will not allow a user to use more outstanding commands than the target permits. If a user discovers a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work with them to debug the problem. We expect to improve the dynamic window sizing algorithm and drop this parameter. For the time being, it is a debugging aid. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

2008-02-08aoe: only install new AoE device onceEd L. Cashin
An aoe driver user who had about 70 AoE targets found that he was hitting a BUG in sysfs_create_file because the aoe driver was trying to tell the kernel about an AoE device more than once. Each AoE device was reachable by several local network interfaces, and multiple ATA device indentify responses were returning from that single device. This patch eliminates a race condition so that aoe always informs the block layer of a new AoE device once in the presence of multiple incoming ATA device identify responses. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

2008-02-08aoe: dynamically allocate a capped number of skbs when necessaryEd L. Cashin
What this Patch Does Even before this recent series of 12 patches to 2.6.22-rc4, the aoe driver was reusing a small set of skbs that were allocated once and were only used for outbound AoE commands. The network layer cannot be allowed to put_page on the data that is still associated with a bio we haven't returned to the block layer, so the aoe driver (even before the patch under discussion) is still the owner of skbs that have been handed to the network layer for transmission. We need to keep track of these skbs so that we can free them, but by tracking them, we can also easily re-use them. The new patch was a response to the behavior of certain network drivers. We cannot reuse an skb that the network driver still has in its transmit ring. Network drivers can defer transmit ring cleanup and then use the state in the skb to determine how many data segments to clean up in its transmit ring. The tg3 driver is one driver that behaves in this way. When the network driver defers cleanup of its transmit ring, the aoe driver can find itself in a situation where it would like to send an AoE command, and the AoE target is ready for more work, but the network driver still has all of the pre-allocated skbs. In that case, the new patch just calls alloc_skb, as you'd expect. We don't want to get carried away, though. We try not to do excessive allocation in the write path, so we cap the number of skbs we dynamically allocate. Probably calling it a "dynamic pool" is misleading. We were already trying to use a small fixed-size set of pre-allocated skbs before this patch, and this patch just provides a little headroom (with a ceiling, though) to accomodate network drivers that hang onto skbs, by allocating when needed. The d->skbpool_hd list of allocated skbs is necessary so that we can free them later. We didn't notice the need for this headroom until AoE targets got fast enough. Alternatives If the network layer never did a put_page on the pages in the bio's we get from the block layer, then it would be possible for us to hand skbs to the network layer and forget about them, allowing the network layer to free skbs itself (and thereby calling our own skb->destructor callback function if we needed that). In that case we could get rid of the pre-allocated skbs and also the d->skbpool_hd, instead just calling alloc_skb every time we wanted to transmit a packet. The slab allocator would effectively maintain the list of skbs. Besides a loss of CPU cache locality, the main concern with that approach the danger that it would increase the likelihood of deadlock when VM is trying to free pages by writing dirty data from the page cache through the aoe driver out to persistent storage on an AoE device. Right now we have a situation where we have pre-allocation that corresponds to how much we use, which seems ideal. Of course, there's still the separate issue of receiving the packets that tell us that a write has successfully completed on the AoE target. When memory is low and VM is using AoE to flush dirty data to free up pages, it would be perfect if there were a way for us to register a fast callback that could recognize write command completion responses. But I don't think the current problems with the receive side of the situation are a justification for exacerbating the problem on the transmit side. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

2008-02-08aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devicesEd L. Cashin
When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices. Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until the I/O attempt times out.

2008-02-08aoe: handle multiple network paths to AoE deviceEd L. Cashin
A remote AoE device is something can process ATA commands and is identified by an AoE shelf number and an AoE slot number. Such a device might have more than one network interface, and it might be reachable by more than one local network interface. This patch tracks the available network paths available to each AoE device, allowing them to be used more efficiently. Andrew Morton asked about the call to msleep_interruptible in the revalidate function. Yes, if a signal is pending, then msleep_interruptible will not return 0. That means we will not loop but will call aoenet_xmit with a NULL skb, which is a noop. If the system is too low on memory or the aoe driver is too low on frames, then the user can hit control-C to interrupt the attempt to do a revalidate. I have added a comment to the code summarizing that. Andrew Morton asked whether the allocation performed inside addtgt could use a more relaxed allocation like GFP_KERNEL, but addtgt is called when the aoedev lock has been locked with spin_lock_irqsave. It would be nice to allocate the memory under fewer restrictions, but targets are only added when the device is being discovered, and if the target can't be added right now, we can try again in a minute when then next AoE config query broadcast goes out. Andrew Morton pointed out that the "too many targets" message could be printed for failing GFP_ATOMIC allocations. The last patch in this series makes the messages more specific. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-18aoe: zero copy write 1 of 2Ed L. Cashin
Avoid memory copy on writes. (This patch depends on fixes in patch 9 to follow.) Although skb->len should not be set when working with linear skbuffs, the skb->tail pointer maintained by skb_put/skb_trim is not relevant to what happens when the skb_fill_page_desc function is called. This issue was raised without comment in linux-kernel and netdev earlier this month: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/446474/ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/45444/ So until there is something analogous to skb_put that works for zero-copy write skbuffs, we will do what the other callers of skb_fill_page_desc are doing.
