      v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE · 68c33163
      Pravin B Shelar 提交于
      Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
      skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
      SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
      skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
      need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
      New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
      GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
      always fall backs to software GSO.

      net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation. · c9af6db4
      Pravin B Shelar 提交于
      Patch cef401de (net: fix possible wrong checksum
      generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
      defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
      net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
      offload of such packets without the feature.
      
      Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
      same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
      SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
      the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
      info tx_flags rather than gso_type.
      
      tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
      shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
      GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

      Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
      wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
      by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.
      
      He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
      avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().
      
      This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
      in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
      modified by the user.
      
      Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
      sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.
      
      Tested:
      
      $ netperf -H 7.7.8.84

      Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
      copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
      bigger pages.
