There's an skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to copy out of a paged skb, but it modifies the iovec, and does not support starting at an offset in the destination. We want both in tun.c, so let's add the function. It's a carbon copy of skb_copy_datagram_iovec() with enough changes to be annoying. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt the socket memory accounting. skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error more systematically. However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1 byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp. union is used for the additional information so that it can be stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info. Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field depending on the context, optional additional structures) this is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself. TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver doesn't support hardware time stamping. The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing network device drivers which don't support hardware time stamping and know nothing about it: - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan() Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe. The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series was tested with).

Several devices need to insert some "pre headers" in front of the main packet data when they transmit a packet. Currently we allocate only 16 bytes of pad room and this ends up not being enough for some types of hardware (NIU, usb-net, s390 qeth, etc.) So increase this to 32. Note that drivers still need to check in their transmit routine whether enough headroom exists, and if not use skb_realloc_headroom(). Tunneling, IPSEC, and other encapsulation methods can cause the padding area to be used up. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge. LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers from the frags structure. This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by the hardware. If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select the outgoing TX queue. This helps get more consistent load balancing on router and firewall loads. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch adds the helper skb_gro_receive to merge packets for GRO. The current method is to allocate a new header skb and then chain the original packets to its frag_list. This is done to make it easier to integrate into the existing GSO framework. In future as GSO is moved into the drivers, we can undo this and simply chain the original packets together.

During SACK processing, most of the benefits of TSO are eaten by the SACK blocks that one-by-one fragment SKBs to MSS sized chunks. Then we're in problems when cleanup work for them has to be done when a large cumulative ACK comes. Try to return back to pre-split state already while more and more SACK info gets discovered by combining newly discovered SACK areas with the previous skb if that's SACKed as well. This approach has a number of benefits: 1) The processing overhead is spread more equally over the RTT 2) Write queue has less skbs to process (affect everything which has to walk in the queue past the sacked areas) 3) Write queue is consistent whole the time, so no other parts of TCP has to be aware of this (this was not the case with some other approach that was, well, quite intrusive all around). 4) Clean_rtx_queue can release most of the pages using single put_page instead of previous PAGE_SIZE/mss+1 calls In case a hole is fully filled by the new SACK block, we attempt to combine the next skb too which allows construction of skbs that are even larger than what tso split them to and it handles hole per on every nth patterns that often occur during slow start overshoot pretty nicely. Though this to be really useful also a retransmission would have to get lost since cumulative ACKs advance one hole at a time in the most typical case. TODO: handle upwards only merging. That should be rather easy when segment is fully sacked but I'm leaving that as future work item (it won't make very large difference anyway since this current approach already covers quite a lot of normal cases). I was earlier thinking of some sophisticated way of tracking timestamps of the first and the last segment but later on realized that it won't be that necessary at all to store the timestamp of the last segment. The cases that can occur are basically either: 1) ambiguous => no sensible measurement can be taken anyway 2) non-ambiguous is due to reordering => having the timestamp of the last segment there is just skewing things more off than does some good since the ack got triggered by one of the holes (besides some substle issues that would make determining right hole/skb even harder problem). Anyway, it has nothing to do with this change then. I choose to route some abnormal looking cases with goto noop, some could be handled differently (eg., by stopping the walking at that skb but again). In general, they either shouldn't happen at all or are rare enough to make no difference in practice. In theory this change (as whole) could cause some macroscale regression (global) because of cache misses that are taken over the round-trip time but it gets very likely better because of much less (local) cache misses per other write queue walkers and the big recovery clearing cumulative ack. Worth to note that these benefits would be very easy to get also without TSO/GSO being on as long as the data is in pages so that we can merge them. Currently I won't let that happen because DSACK splitting at fragment that would mess up pcounts due to sk_can_gso in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs. Once DSACKs fragments gets avoided, we have some conditions that can be made less strict. TODO: I will probably have to convert the excessive pointer passing to struct sacktag_state... :-) My testing revealed that considerable amount of skbs couldn't be shifted because they were cloned (most likely still awaiting tx reclaim)... [The rest is considering future work instead since I got repeatably EFAULT to tcpdump's recvfrom when I added pskb_expand_head to deal with clones, so I separated that into another, later patch] ...To counter that, I gave up on the fifth advantage: 5) When growing previous SACK block, less allocs for new skbs are done, basically a new alloc is needed only when new hole is detected and when the previous skb runs out of frags space ...which now only happens of if reclaim is fast enough to dispose the clone before the SACK block comes in (the window is RTT long), otherwise we'll have to alloc some. With clones being handled I got these numbers (will be somewhat worse without that), taken with fine-grained mibs: TCPSackShifted 398 TCPSackMerged 877 TCPSackShiftFallback 320 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKGSO 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBBITS 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSKBDATA 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKBELOW 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKFIRST 1 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKPREVBITS 318 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKMSS 1 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKNOHEAD 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEFALLBACKSHIFT 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSEQ 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLPCOUNT 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSENOOPSMALLLEN 0 TCPSACKCOLLAPSEHOLE 12 Signed-off-by: NIlpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be recycled as a receive buffer. skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer. If these conditions are met, it does any necessary reference count dropping and cleans up the skbuff as if it just came from __alloc_skb().
