macvtap: Ignore tap features when VNET_HDR is off

2013-08-20T20:09:12+00:00

When the user turns off VNET_HDR support on the
macvtap device, there is no way to provide any
offload information to the user.  So, it's safer
to ignore offload setting then depend on the user
setting them correctly.

macvtap: Correctly set tap features when IFF_VNET_HDR is disabled.

2013-08-20T20:09:11+00:00

When the user turns off IFF_VNET_HDR flag, attempts to change
offload features via TUNSETOFFLOAD do not work.  This could cause
GSO packets to be delivered to the user when the user is
not prepared to handle them.

To solve, allow processing of TUNSETOFFLOAD when IFF_VNET_HDR is
disabled.

macvtap: simplify usage of tap_features

2013-08-20T20:09:11+00:00

In macvtap, tap_features specific the features of that the user
has specified via ioctl().  If we treat macvtap as a macvlan+tap
then we could all the tap a pseudo-device and give it other features
like SG and GSO.  Then we can stop using the features of lower
device (macvlan) when forwarding the traffic the tap.

This solves the issue of possible checksum offload mismatch between
tap feature and macvlan features.

net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb()

2013-08-10T08:16:44+00:00

Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.

We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
allocations.

Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.

I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.

Tested:

macvtap: do not zerocopy if iov needs more pages than MAX_SKB_FRAGS

2013-07-18T20:04:25+00:00

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.

Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.

We can do further optimization on top.

This bug were introduced from b92946e2919134ebe2a4083e4302236295ea2a73
(macvtap: zerocopy: validate vectors before building skb).
