When testing with FCoE enabled we discovered that I had not exported __netdev_pick_tx. As a result ixgbe doesn't build with the RFC patches applied because ixgbe_select_queue was calling the function. This change corrects that build issue by correctly exporting __netdev_pick_tx so it can be used by modules. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch makes it so that we can support transmit packet steering without sysfs needing to be enabled. The reason for making this change is to make it so that a driver can make use of the XPS even while the sysfs portion of the interface is not present.

This change is meant to address several issues I found within the netif_set_xps_queues function. If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue. To address that I split the process into several steps. The first of which is just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to store the queue. By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually altering the contents of the current device map. The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new device map even if we were not adding any queues. I have updated the code so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues, otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the removal process. The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove the queue from the CPU. By making this change we can be consistent in how we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few items I noticed. First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. Since there is no need to have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in netif_set_xps_queue. The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset. This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps value is set. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue. The main idea behind these two functions is to provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in regards to XPS. Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping. With this change I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS feature by controlling the default configuration.

One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire. Headers are only accounted for the first segment. For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing, an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value. As consequences : 1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits. 2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well. Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len computation. Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch skb->cb[] first word. Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca (net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

We have skb_mac_header_was_set() helper to tell if mac_header was set on a skb. We would like the same for transport_header. __netif_receive_skb() doesn't reset the transport header if already set by GRO layer.

This lists are supposed to serve for storing pointers to all upper devices. Eventually it will replace dev->master pointer which is used for bonding, bridge, team but it cannot be used for vlan, macvlan where there might be multiple upper present. In case the upper link is replacement for dev->master, it is marked with "master" flag. New upper device list resolves this limitation.

Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters. However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match. Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature / BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage for user space applications. There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ... { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> }, ... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset 0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken, isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have *for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC* ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in the permissions of setns. With unprivileged user namespaces it became possible to create new namespaces without privilege. However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user nameapce of the targed namespace. Which made the following nasty sequence possible. pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS); if (pid == 0) { /* child */ system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd"); } else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */ char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt"); fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); setns(fd, 0); system("su -"); } Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE). For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware. For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.
