Re: Netmap ixgbe stripping Vlan tags

2013-08-23 Thread Harika Tandra
Hi Luigi, Thank you so much for the reply. It makes it clear that Netmap doesn't change vlanhwfilter option or any other option set on the card. It is very good news for my application !! Currently I have the "vlanhwfilter" option disabled on the NIC. But not seeing the vlan tags when opened in

Re: Netmap ixgbe stripping Vlan tags

2013-08-23 Thread Luigi Rizzo
responding to the first email in the thread: netmap by design does not modify the setting of the card (vlan, hwcsum, tso/lro, promisc, ...). The main practical reasons behind this choice are that i) in many cases both settings make sense when in netmap mode, ii) we can use existing OS tools/ioctl

[rfc] migrate lagg to an rmlock

2013-08-23 Thread Adrian Chadd
Hi, I'd like to commit this to -10. It migrates the if_lagg locking from a rw lock to a rm lock. We see a bit of contention between the transmit and receive sides of lagg during traffic loads (10+ gigabit per second.) Using rmlocks eliminate this. http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/netflix/2013081

Making IB a first class citizen.

2013-08-23 Thread Alfred Perlstein
Hello -net. This email is about making Infiniband a first class citizen of the FreeBSD kernel. Right now we have one #ifdef OFED in the src tree that makes compiling modules a real challenge: In sys/net/if_llatbl.h the "struct llentry" size changes based on if OFED is compiled in or not, o
