commit 35b2a113 broke (at least) Fedora's networking scripts, they check for the existence of the wireless directory. As the files aren't used, add the directory back and not the files. Also do it for both drivers based on the old wireless extensions and cfg80211, regardless of whether the compat code for wext is built into cfg80211 or not.

When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.

Mike Kazantsev found 3.5 kernels and beyond were leaking memory, and tracked the faulty commit to a1c7fff7 ("net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()") While this commit seems fine, it uncovered a bug introduced in commit bad43ca8 ("net: introduce skb_try_coalesce()), in function kfree_skb_partial()"): If head is stolen, we free the sk_buff, without removing references on secpath (skb->sp). So IPsec + IP defrag/reassembly (using skb coalescing), or TCP coalescing could leak secpath objects. Fix this bug by calling skb_release_head_state(skb) to properly release all possible references to linked objects.

For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following expression will result negative: datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) - pkt_dev->pkt_overhead; And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause a crash later. This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6. This bug should exist for a long time, so Cc -stable too.

由 Florian Zumbiehl 提交于
6a32e4f9 made the vlan code skip marking vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be configured. As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had been received untagged. For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached, macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those are completely unusable on the underlying interface. The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards, before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether there is an rx_handler or not.

Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain. Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations. With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b86 (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom) introduced this regression for recycled skbs. Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling. Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway, to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb() Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This adds a new include file (include/net/gro_cells.h), to bring GRO (Generic Receive Offload) capability to tunnels, in a modular way. Because tunnels receive path is lockless, and GRO adds a serialization using a napi_struct, I chose to add an array of up to DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RSS_QUEUES cells, so that multi queue devices wont be slowed down because of GRO layer. skb_get_rx_queue() is used as selector.

We currently use percpu order-0 pages in __netdev_alloc_frag to deliver fragments used by __netdev_alloc_skb() Depending on NIC driver and arch being 32 or 64 bit, it allows a page to be split in several fragments (between 1 and 8), assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096 Switching to bigger pages (32768 bytes for PAGE_SIZE=4096 case) allows : - Better filling of space (the ending hole overhead is less an issue) - Less calls to page allocator or accesses to page->_count - Could allow struct skb_shared_info futures changes without major performance impact.

We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236 Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.
