v3: added previously removed sock_put() to the tun_release() callback, because sk_release_kernel() doesn't drop the socket reference. v2: sk_release_kernel() used for socket release. Dummy tun_release() is required for sk_release_kernel() ---> sock_release() ---> sock->ops->release() call. TUN was designed to destroy it's socket on network namesapce shutdown. But this will never happen for persistent device, because it's socket holds network namespace. This patch removes of holding network namespace by TUN socket and replaces it by creating socket in init_net and then changing it's net it to desired one. On shutdown socket is moved back to init_net prior to final put. Signed-off-by: NStanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit 8d8fc29d changed the behavior of slave devices in regards to netpoll. Specifically it created a mutually exclusive relationship between being a slave and a netpoll-capable device. This creates problems for KVM because guests relied on needing netconsole active on a slave device to a bridge. Ideally libvirtd could just attach netconsole to the bridge device instead, but thats currently infeasible, because while the bridge device supports netpoll, it requires that all slave interface also support it, but the tun/tap driver currently does not. The most direct solution is to teach tun/tap to support netpoll, which is implemented by the patch below. I've not tested this yet, but its pretty straightforward.

There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag - VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization. No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag. Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP, when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement could be measured by netperf. Signed-off-by: NJason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Acked-by: NMichael S.

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation.

This changes offload setting behaviour to what I think is correct: - offloads set via ethtool mean what admin wants to use (by default he wants 'em all) - offloads set via ioctl() mean what userspace is expecting to get (this limits which admin wishes are granted) - TUN_NOCHECKSUM is ignored, as it might cause broken packets when forwarded (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY means that checksum was verified, not that it can be ignored) If TUN_NOCHECKSUM is implemented, it should set skb->csum_* and skb->ip_summed (= CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) for known protocols and let others be verified by kernel when necessary.

This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d1-dirty/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 dm_mod mapper/control c10:235 Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed: $ /sbin/udevd --debug ... static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666 A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used. This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to paper-over broken concepts.

virtio added mergeable buffers mode where 2 bytes of extra info is put after vnet header but before actual data (tun does not need this data). In hindsight, it would have been better to add the new info *before* the packet: as it is, users need a lot of tricky code to skip the extra 2 bytes in the middle of the iovec, and in fact applications seem to get it wrong, and only work with specific iovec layout. The fact we might need to split iovec also means we might in theory overflow iovec max size. This patch adds a simpler way for applications to handle this, and future proofs the interface against further extensions, by making the size of the virtio net header configurable from userspace. As a result, tun driver will simply skip the extra 2 bytes on both input and output. Signed-off-by: NMichael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming packet. RCU conversion is pretty much needed : 1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer). [Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing] 2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in sock_alloc_inode(). 3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq" 4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct socket_wq" 5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of sk->sk_sleep 6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside a rcu_read_lock() section. 7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to : - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks. - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) 8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well. 9) Exceptions : macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq" instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing. Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

The following situation was observed in the field: tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result tap1 can not be closed. This happens because tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely. As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing ownership if we're going into a hostile device. This patch implements the second approach. Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog, instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted. At least this is not user-triggerable, and this was not reported in practice, my assumption is other devices besides tap complete an skb within finite time after it has been queued. A possible solution for the second issue would not to have socket reference the device, instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and wait for all skbs to complete there, but this needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

Tun device looks similar to a packet socket in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace. This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged. This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets into a physical device, can support injecting packets into host network stack almost without modification.

The tun driver is the only code in the kernel that operates on a character device with struct ifreq. Change the driver to handle the conversion itself so we can contain the remaining ifreq handling in the socket layer. This also fixes a bug in the handling of invalid ioctl numbers on an unbound tun device. The driver treats this as a TUNSETIFF in native mode, but there is no way for the generic compat_ioctl() function to emulate this behaviour. Possibly the driver was only doing this accidentally anyway, but if any code relies on this misfeature, it now also works in compat mode.
