ipv4: Fix ip-header identification for gso packets.

2013-03-26T17:50:05+00:00

ip-header id needs to be incremented even if IP_DF flag is set.
This behaviour was changed in commit 490ab08127cebc25e3a26
(IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification).

Following patch fixes it so that identification is always
incremented.

IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification.

2013-02-25T20:47:41+00:00

GRE-GSO generates ip fragments with id 0,2,3,4... for every
GSO packet, which is not correct. Following patch fixes it
by setting ip-header id unique id of fragments are allowed.
As Eric Dumazet suggested it is optimized by using inner ip-header
whenever inner packet is ipv4.

ipv4: fix error handling in icmp_protocol.

2013-02-22T20:10:18+00:00

Now we handle icmp errors in each transport protocol's err_handler,
for icmp protocols, that is ping_err. Since this handler only care
of those icmp errors triggered by echo request, errors triggered
by echo reply(which sent by kernel) are sliently ignored.

So wrap ping_err() with icmp_err() to deal with those icmp errors.

ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp

2013-02-21T23:15:58+00:00

It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6
sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash
table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very
long list.

We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using
a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR.

inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead
of xoring them.

v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE

2013-02-15T20:17:11+00:00

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.

2013-02-13T18:30:10+00:00

Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.

Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.

tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

ipv4: Disallow non-namespace aware protocols to register.

2013-02-05T19:42:23+00:00

All in-tree ipv4 protocol implementations are now namespace
aware.  Therefore all the run-time checks are superfluous.

Reject registry of any non-namespace aware ipv4 protocol.
Eventually we'll remove prot->netns_ok and this registry
time check as well.

net: fix possible wrong checksum generation

2013-01-28T05:27:15+00:00

Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.

He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().

This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.

Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Tested:

$ netperf -H 7.7.8.84

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.
