net: suppress warnings on dev_alloc_skb

2016-05-20T23:58:32+00:00

Noticed an allocation failure in a network driver the other day on a 32 bit
system:

Thought that perhaps the big splat in the logs wasn't really necessecary, as
all call sites for dev_alloc_skb:

a) check the return code for the function

and

b) either print their own error message or have a recovery path that makes the
warning moot.

Fix it by modifying dev_alloc_pages to pass __GFP_NOWARN as a gfp flag to
suppress the warning

net: define gso types for IPx over IPv4 and IPv6

2016-05-20T22:03:15+00:00

This patch defines two new GSO definitions SKB_GSO_IPXIP4 and
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 along with corresponding NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP4 and
NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP6. These are used to described IP in IP
tunnel and what the outer protocol is. The inner protocol
can be deduced from other GSO types (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 and
SKB_GSO_TCPV6). The GSO types of SKB_GSO_IPIP and SKB_GSO_SIT
are removed (these are both instances of SKB_GSO_IPXIP4).
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 will be used when support for GSO with IP
encapsulation over IPv6 is added.

net: relax expensive skb_unclone() in iptunnel_handle_offloads()

2016-05-03T04:22:19+00:00

Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP
tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone()

Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work.

Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done.

TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet
travels in the stack.

This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone()
using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned().

This variant can probably be used from other points.

tcp: remove SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP since it is redundant

2016-04-28T20:06:10+00:00

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.

Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit
everywhere.

Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.

skbuff: Add pskb_extract() helper function

2016-04-25T20:54:14+00:00

A pattern of skb usage seen in modules such as RDS-TCP is to
extract `to_copy' bytes from the received TCP segment, starting
at some offset `off' into a new skb `clone'. This is done in
the ->data_ready callback, where the clone skb is queued up for rx on
the PF_RDS socket, while the parent TCP segment is returned unchanged
back to the TCP engine.

The existing code uses the sequence
	clone = skb_clone(..);
	pskb_pull(clone, off, ..);
	pskb_trim(clone, to_copy, ..);
with the intention of discarding the first `off' bytes. However,
skb_clone() + pskb_pull() implies pksb_expand_head(), which ends
up doing a redundant memcpy of bytes that will then get discarded
in __pskb_pull_tail().

To avoid this inefficiency, this commit adds pskb_extract() that
creates the clone, and memcpy's only the relevant header/frag/frag_list
to the start of `clone'. pskb_trim() is then invoked to trim clone
down to the requested to_copy bytes.

GSO: Support partial segmentation offload

2016-04-14T20:23:41+00:00

This patch adds support for something I am referring to as GSO partial.
The basic idea is that we can support a broader range of devices for
segmentation if we use fixed outer headers and have the hardware only
really deal with segmenting the inner header.  The idea behind the naming
is due to the fact that everything before csum_start will be fixed headers,
and everything after will be the region that is handled by hardware.

With the current implementation it allows us to add support for the
following GSO types with an inner TSO_MANGLEID or TSO6 offload:
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM
NETIF_F_GSO_IPIP
NETIF_F_GSO_SIT
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM

In the case of hardware that already supports tunneling we may be able to
extend this further to support TSO_TCPV4 without TSO_MANGLEID if the
hardware can support updating inner IPv4 headers.

GSO: Add GSO type for fixed IPv4 ID

2016-04-14T20:23:40+00:00

This patch adds support for TSO using IPv4 headers with a fixed IP ID
field.  This is meant to allow us to do a lossless GRO in the case of TCP
flows that use a fixed IP ID such as those that convert IPv6 header to IPv4
headers.

In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with
IP ID mangling.  Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the
option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed
IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was.  This is useful
in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID
value is maintained.

udp: enable MSG_PEEK at non-zero offset

2016-04-05T20:29:37+00:00

Enable peeking at UDP datagrams at the offset specified with socket
option SOL_SOCKET/SO_PEEK_OFF. Peek at any datagram in the queue, up
to the end of the given datagram.

Implement the SO_PEEK_OFF semantics introduced in commit ef64a54f6e55
("sock: Introduce the SO_PEEK_OFF sock option"). Increase the offset
on peek, decrease it on regular reads.

When peeking, always checksum the packet immediately, to avoid
recomputation on subsequent peeks and final read.

The socket lock is not held for the duration of udp_recvmsg, so
peek and read operations can run concurrently. Only the last store
to sk_peek_off is preserved.

mld, igmp: Fix reserved tailroom calculation

2016-03-03T20:41:07+00:00

The current reserved_tailroom calculation fails to take hlen and tlen into
account.

skb:
[__hlen__|__data____________|__tlen___|__extra__]
^                                               ^
head                                            skb_end_offset

In this representation, hlen + data + tlen is the size passed to alloc_skb.
"extra" is the extra space made available in __alloc_skb because of
rounding up by kmalloc. We can reorder the representation like so:

[__hlen__|__data____________|__extra__|__tlen___]
^                                               ^
head                                            skb_end_offset

The maximum space available for ip headers and payload without
fragmentation is min(mtu, data + extra). Therefore,
reserved_tailroom
= data + extra + tlen - min(mtu, data + extra)
= skb_end_offset - hlen - min(mtu, skb_end_offset - hlen - tlen)
= skb_tailroom - min(mtu, skb_tailroom - tlen) ; after skb_reserve(hlen)

Compare the second line to the current expression:
reserved_tailroom = skb_end_offset - min(mtu, skb_end_offset)
and we can see that hlen and tlen are not taken into account.

The min() in the third line can be expanded into:
if mtu < skb_tailroom - tlen:
	reserved_tailroom = skb_tailroom - mtu
else:
	reserved_tailroom = tlen

Depending on hlen, tlen, mtu and the number of multicast address records,
the current code may output skbs that have less tailroom than
dev->needed_tailroom or it may output more skbs than needed because not all
space available is used.
