udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment

2014-10-02T01:35:51+00:00

skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to
segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes
segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN
encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to
operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol.

The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner
header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol
(in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is
effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto
helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These
functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation
is occuring.

When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the
inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the
case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from
inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is
set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE
currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol
in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function
directly).

udp: additional GRO support

2014-08-25T01:09:24+00:00

Implement GRO for UDPv6. Add UDP checksum verification in gro_receive
for both UDP4 and UDP6 calling skb_gro_checksum_validate_zero_check.

udp: Add function to make source port for UDP tunnels

2014-07-08T04:14:21+00:00

This patch adds udp_flow_src_port function which is intended to be
a common function that UDP tunnel implementations call to set the source
port. The source port is chosen so that a hash over the outer headers
(IP addresses and UDP ports) acts as suitable hash for the flow of the
encapsulated packet. In this manner, UDP encapsulation works with RSS
and ECMP based wrt the inner flow.

udp: call __skb_checksum_complete when doing full checksum

2014-06-15T08:00:49+00:00

In __udp_lib_checksum_complete check if checksum is being done over all
the data (len is equal to skb->len) and if it is call
__skb_checksum_complete instead of __skb_checksum_complete_head. This
allows checksum to be saved in checksum complete.

udp: Generic functions to set checksum

2014-06-05T05:46:38+00:00

Added udp_set_csum and udp6_set_csum functions to set UDP checksums
in packets. These are for simple UDP packets such as those that might
be created in UDP tunnels.

net: Split sk_no_check into sk_no_check_{rx,tx}

2014-05-23T20:28:53+00:00

Define separate fields in the sock structure for configuring disabling
checksums in both TX and RX-- sk_no_check_tx and sk_no_check_rx.
The SO_NO_CHECK socket option only affects sk_no_check_tx. Also,
removed UDP_CSUM_* defines since they are no longer necessary.

udp: ipv4: Add udp early demux

2013-10-08T20:27:33+00:00

The removal of the routing cache introduced a performance regression for
some UDP workloads since a dst lookup must be done for each packet.
This change caches the dst per socket in a similar manner to what we do
for TCP by implementing early_demux.

For UDP multicast we can only cache the dst if there is only one
receiving socket on the host.  Since caching only works when there is
one receiving socket we do the multicast socket lookup using RCU.

For UDP unicast we only demux sockets with an exact match in order to
not break forwarding setups.  Additionally since the hash chains may be
long we only check the first socket to see if it is a match and not
waste extra time searching the whole chain when we might not find an
exact match.

Benchmark results from a netperf UDP_RR test:
Before 87961.22 transactions/s
After  89789.68 transactions/s

udp.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-23T20:29:40+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

pktgen: Add UDPCSUM flag to support UDP checksums

2013-07-28T05:16:36+00:00

UDP checksums are optional, hence pktgen has been omitting them in
favour of performance. The optional flag UDPCSUM enables UDP
checksumming. If the output device supports hardware checksumming
the skb is prepared and marked CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, otherwise the
checksum is generated in software.
