net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check

2015-01-27T16:29:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5f35227ea34bb616c436d9da47fc325866c428f3 ]

GSO isn't the only offload feature with restrictions that
potentially can't be expressed with the current features mechanism.
Checksum is another although it's a general issue that could in
theory apply to anything. Even if it may be possible to
implement these restrictions in other ways, it can result in
duplicate code or inefficient per-packet behavior.

This generalizes ndo_gso_check so that drivers can remove any
features that don't make sense for a given packet, similar to
netif_skb_features(). It also converts existing driver
restrictions to the new format, completing the work that was
done to support tunnel protocols since the issues apply to
checksums as well.

By actually removing features from the set that are used to do
offloading, it solves another problem with the existing
interface. In these cases, GSO would run with the original set
of features and not do anything because it appears that
segmentation is not required.

net/core: Handle csum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE VXLAN forwarding

2015-01-27T16:29:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2c26d34bbcc0b3f30385d5587aa232289e2eed8e ]

When using VXLAN tunnels and a sky2 device, I have experienced
checksum failures of the following type:

[ 4297.761899] eth0: hw csum failure
[...]
[ 4297.765223] Call Trace:
[ 4297.765224]    [] dump_stack+0x46/0x58
[ 4297.765235]  [] netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x42/0x50
[ 4297.765238]  [] ? skb_push+0x40/0x40
[ 4297.765240]  [] __skb_checksum_complete+0xbc/0xd0
[ 4297.765243]  [] tcp_v4_rcv+0x2e2/0x950
[ 4297.765246]  [] ? ip_rcv_finish+0x360/0x360

	These are reliably reproduced in a network topology of:

container:eth0 == host(OVS VXLAN on VLAN) == bond0 == eth0 (sky2) -> switch

	When VXLAN encapsulated traffic is received from a similarly
configured peer, the above warning is generated in the receive
processing of the encapsulated packet.  Note that the warning is
associated with the container eth0.

        The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and
because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum
generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet
headers.

	The receive code is careful to update the skb->csum, except in
__dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb.  __dev_forward_skb
calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN)
to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb->csum when
doing so.

	This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to
skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb->csum after the call to
eth_type_trans.

net: Reset secmark when scrubbing packet

2015-01-27T16:29:33+00:00

[ 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: Fix stacked vlan offload features computation

2015-01-27T16:29:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 796f2da81bead71ffc91ef70912cd8d1827bf756 ]

When vlan tags are stacked, it is very likely that the outer tag is stored
in skb->vlan_tci and skb->protocol shows the inner tag's vlan_proto.
Currently netif_skb_features() first looks at skb->protocol even if there
is the outer tag in vlan_tci, thus it incorrectly retrieves the protocol
encapsulated by the inner vlan instead of the inner vlan protocol.
This allows GSO packets to be passed to HW and they end up being
corrupted.

net: drop the packet when fails to do software segmentation or header check

Commit cecda693a969816bac5e470e1d9c9c0ef5567bca ("net: keep original skb
which only needs header checking during software GSO") keeps the original
skb for packets that only needs header check, but it doesn't drop the
packet if software segmentation or header check were failed.

net: Revert "net: avoid one atomic operation in skb_clone()"

2014-11-21T20:26:32+00:00

Not sure what I was thinking, but doing anything after
releasing a refcount is suicidal or/and embarrassing.

By the time we set skb->fclone to SKB_FCLONE_FREE, another cpu
could have released last reference and freed whole skb.

We potentially corrupt memory or trap if CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

net: ethtool: Return -EOPNOTSUPP if user space tries to read EEPROM with lengh 0

2014-10-31T20:12:34+00:00

If a driver supports reading EEPROM but no EEPROM is installed in the system,
the driver's get_eeprom_len function returns 0. ethtool will subsequently
try to read that zero-length EEPROM anyway. If the driver does not support
EEPROM access at all, this operation will return -EOPNOTSUPP. If the driver
does support EEPROM access but no EEPROM is installed, the operation will
return -EINVAL. Return -EOPNOTSUPP in both cases for consistency.
