2019-03-20net: remove 'fallback' argument from dev->ndo_select_queue()Paolo Abeni
After the previous patch, all the callers of ndo_select_queue() provide as a 'fallback' argument netdev_pick_tx. The only exceptions are nested calls to ndo_select_queue(), which pass down the 'fallback' available in the current scope - still netdev_pick_tx. We can drop such argument and replace fallback() invocation with netdev_pick_tx(). This avoids an indirect call per xmit packet in some scenarios (TCP syn, UDP unconnected, XDP generic, pktgen) with device drivers implementing such ndo. It also clean the code a bit. Tested with ixgbe and CONFIG_FCOE=m With pktgen using queue xmit: threads vanilla patched (kpps) (kpps) 1 2334 2428 2 4166 4278 4 7895 8100 v1 -> v2: - rebased after helper's name change Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-12-06net: core: dev: Add extack argument to dev_open()Petr Machata
In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is invoked is dev_open(). Therefore extend dev_open() with and extra extack argument and update all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but bond and team drivers have the extack readily available.

2018-07-09net: allow fallback function to pass netdevAlexander Duyck
For most of these calls we can just pass NULL through to the fallback function as the sb_dev. The only cases where we cannot are the cases where we might be dealing with either an upper device or a driver that would have configured things to support an sb_dev itself. The only driver that has any significant change in this patch set should be ixgbe as we can drop the redundant functionality that existed in both the ndo_select_queue function and the fallback function that was passed through to us.

2018-07-09net: allow ndo_select_queue to pass netdevAlexander Duyck
This patch makes it so that instead of passing a void pointer as the accel_priv we instead pass a net_device pointer as sb_dev. Making this change allows us to pass the subordinate device through to the fallback function eventually so that we can keep the actual code in the ndo_select_queue call as focused on possible on the exception cases.

2018-05-28net: Introduce net_failover driverSridhar Samudrala
The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
