net: Initialize all members in skb_gro_remcsum_init()

2015-02-20T20:49:57+00:00

skb_gro_remcsum_init() initializes the gro_remcsum.delta member only,
leading to compiler warnings about a possibly uninitialized
gro_remcsum.offset member:

drivers/net/vxlan.c: In function ‘vxlan_gro_receive’:
drivers/net/vxlan.c:602: warning: ‘grc.offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function
net/ipv4/fou.c: In function ‘gue_gro_receive’:
net/ipv4/fou.c:262: warning: ‘grc.offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function

While these are harmless for now:
  - skb_gro_remcsum_process() sets offset before changing delta,
  - skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup() checks if delta is non-zero before
    accessing offset,
it's safer to let the initialization function initialize all members.

net: Infrastructure for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checsum offload

2015-02-11T23:12:12+00:00

This patch adds infrastructure so that remote checksum offload can
set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL instead of calling csum_partial and writing
the modfied checksum field.

Add skb_remcsum_adjust_partial function to set an skb for using
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checksum offload.  Changed
skb_remcsum_process and skb_gro_remcsum_process to take a boolean
argument to indicate if checksum partial can be set or the
checksum needs to be modified using the normal algorithm.

net: Use more bit fields in napi_gro_cb

2015-02-11T23:12:11+00:00

This patch moves the free and same_flow fields to be bit fields
(2 and 1 bit sized respectively). This frees up some space for u16's.

net: Clarify meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for receive path

2015-02-11T23:12:10+00:00

The current meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for validating checksums
is that _all_ checksums in the packet are considered valid.
However, in the manner that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set only the checksum
at csum_start+csum_offset and any preceding checksums may
be considered valid. If there are checksums in the packet after
csum_offset it is possible they have not been verfied.

This patch changes CHECKSUM_PARTIAL logic in skb_csum_unnecessary and
__skb_gro_checksum_validate_needed to only considered checksums
referring to csum_start and any preceding checksums (with starting
offset before csum_start) to be verified.

net: Fix remcsum in GRO path to not change packet

2015-02-11T23:12:09+00:00

Remote checksum offload processing is currently the same for both
the GRO and non-GRO path. When the remote checksum offload option
is encountered, the checksum field referred to is modified in
the packet. So in the GRO case, the packet is modified in the
GRO path and then the operation is skipped when the packet goes
through the normal path based on skb->remcsum_offload. There is
a problem in that the packet may be modified in the GRO path, but
then forwarded off host still containing the remote checksum option.
A remote host will again perform RCO but now the checksum verification
will fail since GRO RCO already modified the checksum.

To fix this, we ensure that GRO restores a packet to it's original
state before returning. In this model, when GRO processes a remote
checksum option it still changes the checksum per the algorithm
but on return from lower layer processing the checksum is restored
to its original value.

In this patch we add define gro_remcsum structure which is passed
to skb_gro_remcsum_process to save offset and delta for the checksum
being changed. After lower layer processing, skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup
is called to restore the checksum before returning from GRO.

net:rfs: adjust table size checking

2015-02-09T05:54:09+00:00

Make sure root user does not try something stupid.

Also make sure mask field in struct rps_sock_flow_table
does not share a cache line with the potentially often dirtied
flow table.

net: rfs: add hash collision detection

2015-02-09T00:53:57+00:00

Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from
hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic
is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated.

Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good
for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close().
(FIN , ACK packets, ...)

This patch extends the information stored into global hash table
to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value.

I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts.

For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the
cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash.

Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have
a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big
enough.

If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if
it is enabled for the rxqueue).

This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the
IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU.

This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket
close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.

net/core: Add event for a change in slave state

2015-02-05T00:14:24+00:00

Add event which provides an indication on a change in the state
of a bonding slave. The event handler should cast the pointer to the
appropriate type (struct netdev_bonding_info) in order to get the
full info about the slave.

net: add skb functions to process remote checksum offload

2015-02-04T21:54:07+00:00

This patch adds skb_remcsum_process and skb_gro_remcsum_process to
perform the appropriate adjustments to the skb when receiving
remote checksum offload.

Updated vxlan and gue to use these functions.

Tested: Ran TCP_RR and TCP_STREAM netperf for VXLAN and GUE, did
not see any change in performance.
