Commit 121d57af308d ("gso: validate gso_type in GSO handlers") added
gso_type validation to existing gso_segment callback functions, to
filter out illegal and potentially dangerous SKB_GSO_DODGY packets.

Convert tunnels that now call inet_gso_segment and ipv6_gso_segment
directly to have their own callbacks and extend validation to these.

This avoids an indirect call in the receive path for TCP and UDP
packets. TCP takes precedence on UDP, so that we have a single
additional conditional in the common case.

When IPV6 is build as module, all gro symbols except UDPv6 are
builtin, while the latter belong to the ipv6 module, so we
need some special care.

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - adapted to INDIRECT_CALL_ changes
v2 -&gt; v3:
 - fix build issue with CONFIG_IPV6=m

This avoids an indirect calls for L3 GRO receive path, both
for ipv4 and ipv6, if the latter is not compiled as a module.

Note that when IPv6 is compiled as builtin, it will be checked first,
so we have a single additional compare for the more common path.

ipv6_gro_receive() compares 34 bytes using slow memcmp(),
while handcoding with a couple of ipv6_addr_equal() is much faster.

Before this patch, "perf top -e cycles:pp -C &lt;cpu&gt;" would
see memcmp() using ~10% of cpu cycles on a 40Gbit NIC
receiving IPv6 TCP traffic.

<title>gso_segment: Reset skb-&gt;mac_len after modifying network header</title>
<updated>2018-09-13T19:09:32+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=c56cae23c6b167acc68043c683c4573b80cbcc2c'/>
<id>c56cae23c6b167acc68043c683c4573b80cbcc2c</id>
<content type='text'>
When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the
skb-&gt;mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet
drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in
combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets.

This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header
will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in
skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the
outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len.

Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6
gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for his help in identifying the cause of
the bug.

When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the
skb-&gt;mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet
drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in
combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets.

This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header
will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in
skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the
outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len.

Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6
gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header.

Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head.

Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers.  When GRO receive
handlers return non-NULL, it means that this SKB needs to be completed
at this time and removed from the NAPI queue.

Several operations are greatly simplified by this transformation,
especially timing out the oldest SKB in the list when gro_count
exceeds MAX_GRO_SKBS, and napi_gro_flush() which walks the queue
in reverse order.
