<title>net: force a list_del() in unregister_netdevice_many()</title>

<content type='text'>
unregister_netdevice_many() API is error prone and we had too
many bugs because of dangling LIST_HEAD on stacks.

See commit f87e6f47933e3e ("net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD")

In fact, instead of making sure no caller leaves an active list_head,
just force a list_del() in the callee. No one seems to need to access
the list after unregister_netdevice_many()

<title>MPLS: Use mpls_features to activate software MPLS GSO segmentation</title>

<published>2014-06-03T23:53:17+00:00</published>

<id>3b392ddba25a95dcf5fb30b33358961c49dd5cfc</id>
<content type='text'>
If an MPLS packet requires segmentation then use mpls_features
to determine if the software implementation should be used.

As no driver advertises MPLS GSO segmentation this will always be
the case.

I had not noticed that this was necessary before as software MPLS GSO
segmentation was already being used in my test environment. I believe that
the reason for that is the skbs in question always had fragments and the
driver I used does not advertise NETIF_F_FRAGLIST (which seems to be the
case for most drivers). Thus software segmentation was activated by
skb_gso_ok().

This introduces the overhead of an extra call to skb_network_protocol()
in the case where where CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO is set and
skb-&gt;ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE.

Thanks to Jesse Gross for prompting me to investigate this.

<content type='text'>
After 1e785f48d29a ("net: Start with correct mac_len in
skb_network_protocol") skb-&gt;mac_len is used as a start of the
calculation in skb_network_protocol() but that is not always correct. If
skb-&gt;protocol == 8021Q/AD, usually the vlan header is already inserted
in the skb (i.e. vlan reorder hdr == 0). Usually when the packet enters
dev_hard_xmit it has mac_len == 0 so we take 2 bytes from the
destination mac address (skb-&gt;data + VLAN_HLEN) as a type in
skb_network_protocol() and return vlan_depth == 4. In the case where TSO is
off, then the mac_len is set but it's == 18 (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN), so
skb_network_protocol() returns a type from inside the packet and
offset == 22. Also make vlan_depth unsigned as suggested before.
As suggested by Eric Dumazet, move the while() loop in the if() so we
can avoid additional testing in fast path.

Here are few netperf tests + debug printk's to illustrate:

After 1e785f48d29a ("net: Start with correct mac_len in
skb_network_protocol") skb-&gt;mac_len is used as a start of the
calculation in skb_network_protocol() but that is not always correct. If
skb-&gt;protocol == 8021Q/AD, usually the vlan header is already inserted
in the skb (i.e. vlan reorder hdr == 0). Usually when the packet enters
dev_hard_xmit it has mac_len == 0 so we take 2 bytes from the
destination mac address (skb-&gt;data + VLAN_HLEN) as a type in
skb_network_protocol() and return vlan_depth == 4. In the case where TSO is
off, then the mac_len is set but it's == 18 (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN), so
skb_network_protocol() returns a type from inside the packet and
offset == 22. Also make vlan_depth unsigned as suggested before.
