macvtap: Fix csum_start when VLAN tags are present

2014-11-21T17:23:10+00:00

commit 3ce9b20f1971690b8b3b620e735ec99431573b39 upstream.

When VLAN is in use in macvtap_put_user, we end up setting
csum_start to the wrong place.  The result is that the whoever
ends up doing the checksum setting will corrupt the packet instead
of writing the checksum to the expected location, usually this
means writing the checksum with an offset of -4.

This patch fixes this by adjusting csum_start when VLAN tags are
detected.

drivers/net, ipv6: Select IPv6 fragment idents for virtio UFO packets

2014-11-14T18:10:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5188cd44c55db3e92cd9e77a40b5baa7ed4340f7 ]

UFO is now disabled on all drivers that work with virtio net headers,
but userland may try to send UFO/IPv6 packets anyway.  Instead of
sending with ID=0, we should select identifiers on their behalf (as we
used to).

macvtap: Fix race between device delete and open.

2014-09-26T19:20:26+00:00

In macvtap device delete and open calls can race and
this causes a list curruption of the vlan queue_list.

The race intself is triggered by the idr accessors
that located the vlan device.  The device is stored
into and removed from the idr under both an rtnl and
a mutex.  However, when attempting to locate the device
in idr, only a mutex is taken.  As a result, once cpu
perfoming a delete may take an rtnl and wait for the mutex,
while another cput doing an open() will take the idr
mutex first to fetch the device pointer and later take
an rtnl to add a queue for the device which may have
just gotten deleted.

With this patch, we now hold the rtnl for the duration
of the macvtap_open() call thus making sure that
open will not race with delete.

mactap: Fix checksum errors for non-gso packets in bridge mode

2014-04-30T20:12:22+00:00

The following is a problematic configuration:

 VM1: virtio-net device connected to macvtap0@eth0
 VM2: e1000 device connect to macvtap1@eth0

The problem is is that virtio-net supports checksum offloading
and thus sends the packets to the host with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set.
On the other hand, e1000 does not support any acceleration.

For small TCP packets (and this includes the 3-way handshake),
e1000 ends up receiving packets that only have a partial checksum
set.  This causes TCP to fail checksum validation and to drop
packets.  As a result tcp connections can not be established.

Commit 3e4f8b787370978733ca6cae452720a4f0c296b8
	macvtap: Perform GSO on forwarding path.
fixes this issue for large packets wthat will end up undergoing GSO.
This commit adds a check for the non-GSO case and attempts to
compute the checksum for partially checksummed packets in the
non-GSO case.

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .   Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

macvlan: Remove custom recieve and forward handlers

2013-12-12T18:38:39+00:00

Since now macvlan and macvtap use the same receive and
forward handlers, we can remove them completely and use
netif_rx and dev_forward_skb() directly.

macvtap: Add support of packet capture on macvtap device.

2013-12-12T18:38:39+00:00

Macvtap device currently doesn not allow a user to capture
traffic on due to the fact that it steals the packets
from the network stack before the skb->dev is set correctly
on the receive side, and that use uses macvlan transmit
path directly on the send side.  As a result, we never
get a change to give traffic to the taps while the correct
device is set in the skb.

This patch makes macvtap device behave almost exaclty like
macvlan.  On the send side, we switch to using dev_queue_xmit().
On the receive side, to deliver packets to macvtap, we now
use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb just like macvlan.  The only
differnce now is that macvtap has its own rx_handler which is
attached to the macvtap netdev.  It is here that we now steal
the packet and provide it to the socket.

As a result, we can now capture traffic on the macvtap device:
   tcpdump -i macvtap0

It also gives us the abilit to add tc actions to the macvtap
device and actually utilize different bandwidth management
queues on output.

macvtap: signal truncated packets

2013-12-11T20:23:06+00:00

macvtap_put_user() never return a value grater than iov length, this in fact
bypasses the truncated checking in macvtap_recvmsg(). Fix this by always
returning the size of packet plus the possible vlan header to let the trunca
checking work.
