IEEE 802.3 clause 45 specifies the MDIO interface and registers for
use in 10G and other PHYs, similar to the MII management interface.
PHYs may have up to 32 MMDs corresponding to different sub-layers and
functions, each with up to 65536 registers. These are addressed by
PRTAD (similar to the MII PHY address) and DEVAD. Define a mapping
for specifying PRTAD and DEVAD through the existing MII ioctls.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq) is most of the time false.
Yet its cost is very expensive on SMP.
static inline int netif_tx_queue_stopped(const struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
return test_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
}
I saw this on oprofile hunting and bnx2 driver bnx2_tx_int().
We probably should split "struct netdev_queue" in two parts, one
being read mostly.
__netif_tx_lock() touches _xmit_lock & xmit_lock_owner, these
deserve a separate cache line.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

The smsc911x hardware supports both big and little and endian
hardware configurations, and the linux smsc911x driver currently
detects word order.
For correct operation on big endian platforms lacking swapped
byte lanes the following patch is needed. Only fifo data is
swapped, register data does not require any swapping.

The skb_gro_* code fails to handle the case where a header starts
in the linear area but ends in the frags area. Since the goal
of skb_gro_* is to optimise the case of completely non-linear
packets, we can simply bail out if we have anything in the linear
area.

When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.
There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.
So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

Add support for parsing the device tree for PHY devices on an MDIO bus.
Currently many of the PowerPC ethernet drivers are open coding a solution
for reading data out of the device tree to find the correct PHY device.
This patch implements a set of common routines to:
a) let MDIO bus drivers register phy_devices described in the tree, and
b) let MAC drivers find the correct phy_device via the tree.
