net:Add sysctl_max_skb_frags

2016-03-02T15:29:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5f74f82ea34c0da80ea0b49192bb5ea06e063593 ]

Devices may have limits on the number of fragments in an skb they support.
Current codebase uses a constant as maximum for number of fragments one
skb can hold and use.
When enabling scatter/gather and running traffic with many small messages
the codebase uses the maximum number of fragments and may thereby violate
the max for certain devices.
The patch introduces a global variable as max number of fragments.

skbuff: Fix offset error in skb_reorder_vlan_header

2016-01-05T17:18:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit f654861569872d10dcb79d9d7ca219b316f94ff0 ]

skb_reorder_vlan_header is called after the vlan header has
been pulled.  As a result the offset of the begining of
the mac header has been incrased by 4 bytes (VLAN_HLEN).
When moving the mac addresses, include this incrase in
the offset calcualation so that the mac addresses are
copied correctly.

vlan: Fix untag operations of stacked vlans with REORDER_HEADER off

2016-01-05T17:18:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit a6e18ff111701b4ff6947605bfbe9594ec42a6e8 ]

When we have multiple stacked vlan devices all of which have
turned off REORDER_HEADER flag, the untag operation does not
locate the ethernet addresses correctly for nested vlans.
The reason is that in case of REORDER_HEADER flag being off,
the outer vlan headers are put back and the mac_len is adjusted
to account for the presense of the header.  Then, the subsequent
untag operation, for the next level vlan, always use VLAN_ETH_HLEN
to locate the begining of the ethernet header and that ends up
being a multiple of 4 bytes short of the actuall beginning
of the mac header (the multiple depending on the how many vlan
encapsulations ethere are).

As a reslult, if there are multiple levles of vlan devices
with REODER_HEADER being off, the recevied packets end up
being dropped.

To solve this, we use skb->mac_len as the offset.  The value
is always set on receive path and starts out as a ETH_HLEN.
The value is also updated when the vlan header manupations occur
so we know it will be correct.

skbuff: Fix skb checksum partial check.

2015-10-28T15:38:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31b33dfb0a144469dd805514c9e63f4993729a48 ]

Earlier patch 6ae459bda tried to detect void ckecksum partial
skb by comparing pull length to checksum offset. But it does
not work for all cases since checksum-offset depends on
updates to skb->data.

Following patch fixes it by validating checksum start offset
after skb-data pointer is updated. Negative value of checksum
offset start means there is no need to checksum.

net: don't wait for order-3 page allocation

2015-07-30T12:10:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit fb05e7a89f500cfc06ae277bdc911b281928995d ]

We saw excessive direct memory compaction triggered by skb_page_frag_refill.
This causes performance issues and add latency. Commit 5640f7685831e0
introduces the order-3 allocation. According to the changelog, the order-3
allocation isn't a must-have but to improve performance. But direct memory
compaction has high overhead. The benefit of order-3 allocation can't
compensate the overhead of direct memory compaction.

This patch makes the order-3 page allocation atomic. If there is no memory
pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still success, so we
don't sacrifice the order-3 benefit here. If the atomic allocation fails,
direct memory compaction will not be triggered, skb_page_frag_refill will
fallback to order-0 immediately, hence the direct memory compaction overhead is
avoided. In the allocation failure case, kswapd is waken up and doing
compaction, so chances are allocation could success next time.

alloc_skb_with_frags is the same.

The mellanox driver does similar thing, if this is accepted, we must fix
the driver too.

V3: fix the same issue in alloc_skb_with_frags as pointed out by Eric
V2: make the changelog clearer

net: fix crash in build_skb()

2015-04-30T11:28:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb->head_frag and
skb->pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb->head_frag

net: do not deplete pfmemalloc reserve

2015-04-30T11:28:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 79930f5892e134c6da1254389577fffb8bd72c66 ]

build_skb() should look at the page pfmemalloc status.
If set, this means page allocator allocated this page in the
expectation it would help to free other pages. Networking
stack can do that only if skb->pfmemalloc is also set.

Also, we must refrain using high order pages from the pfmemalloc
reserve, so __page_frag_refill() must also use __GFP_NOMEMALLOC for
them. Under memory pressure, using order-0 pages is probably the best
strategy.

net: Reset secmark when scrubbing packet

[ Upstream commit b8fb4e0648a2ab3734140342002f68fb0c7d1602 ]

skb_scrub_packet() is called when a packet switches between a context
such as between underlay and overlay, between namespaces, or between
L3 subnets.

While we already scrub the packet mark, connection tracking entry,
and cached destination, the security mark/context is left intact.

It seems wrong to inherit the security context of a packet when going
from overlay to underlay or across forwarding paths.

net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input.

2014-10-17T07:43:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0d5501c1c828fb97d02af50aa9d2b1a5498b94e4 ]

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.

There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
failure to establish TCP connections.

The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
host is tg3:
10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q

4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

This connection finally times out.

I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.

The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
host will still work with VLANs enabled.

net: Correctly set segment mac_len in skb_segment().

2014-08-19T15:15:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit fcdfe3a7fa4cb74391d42b6a26dc07c20dab1d82 ]

When performing segmentation, the mac_len value is copied right
out of the original skb.  However, this value is not always set correctly
(like when the packet is VLAN-tagged) and we'll end up copying a bad
value.

One way to demonstrate this is to configure a VM which tags
packets internally and turn off VLAN acceleration on the forwarding
bridge port.  The packets show up corrupt like this:

        ...

This also leads to awful throughput as GSO packets are dropped and
cause retransmissions.

The solution is to set the mac_len using the values already available
in then new skb.  We've already adjusted all of the header offset, so we
might as well correctly figure out the mac_len using skb_reset_mac_len().
After this change, packets are segmented correctly and performance
is restored.
