vlan: pull on __vlan_insert_tag error path and fix csum correction

2016-04-16T03:20:11+00:00

When __vlan_insert_tag() fails from skb_vlan_push() path due to the
skb_cow_head(), we need to undo the __skb_push() in the error path
as well that was done earlier to move skb->data pointer to mac header.

Moreover, I noticed that when in the non-error path the __skb_pull()
is done and the original offset to mac header was non-zero, we fixup
from a wrong skb->data offset in the checksum complete processing.

So the skb_postpush_rcsum() really needs to be done before __skb_pull()
where skb->data still points to the mac header start and thus operates
under the same conditions as in __vlan_insert_tag().

net: remove a dubious unlikely() clause

TCP protocol is still used these days, and TCP uses
clones in its transmit path. We can not optimize linux
stack assuming it is mostly used in routers, or that TCP
is dead.

net: adjust napi_consume_skb to handle non-NAPI callers

2016-03-14T02:35:35+00:00

Some drivers reuse/share code paths that free SKBs between NAPI
and non-NAPI calls. Adjust napi_consume_skb to handle this
use-case.

Before, calls from netpoll (w/ IRQs disabled) was handled and
indicated with a budget zero indication.  Use the same zero
indication to handle calls not originating from NAPI/softirq.
Simply handled by using dev_consume_skb_any().

This adds an extra branch+call for the netpoll case (checking
in_irq() + irqs_disabled()), but that is okay as this is a slowpath.

net: fix bridge multicast packet checksum validation

2016-02-25T21:16:38+00:00

We need to update the skb->csum after pulling the skb, otherwise
an unnecessary checksum (re)computation can ocure for IGMP/MLD packets
in the bridge code. Additionally this fixes the following splats for
network devices / bridge ports with support for and enabled RX checksum

net: bulk free SKBs that were delay free'ed due to IRQ context

2016-02-11T16:59:09+00:00

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or
when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that
writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion
queue (softnet_data.completion_queue).

These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ
in function net_tx_action().  Take advantage of this a use the skb
defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context.

For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call
dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls
__dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed.  This due to netpoll can call from
IRQ context.
