This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload. The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just before the entry point into the NIC driver. The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of lockless drivers. In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers. With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine of the underlying driver will be made. The idea is simple. There are two entry points in to the xmit routine. The first comes from dev_queue_xmit. That one is easily stopped by using synchronize_rcu. This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc before the synchronize_rcu call. That in turn causes all subsequent packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped. The synchronize_rcu call also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section. The other entry point is from qdisc_run. Since we now have a bit that indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the bit is off. I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear. This is useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again. It is also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run. I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still it's best if we don't do it. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued. It appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue lock while transmitting. That in turn is needed for devices that spend a lot of time in their transmit routine. There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a queue). Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered correctly. The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this. BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the new __qdisc_run function.

In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk (or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap, we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

When using ASSOCINFO socket option, we need to limit the number of maximum association retransmissions to be no greater than the sum of all the path retransmissions. This is specified in Section 7.1.2 of the SCTP socket API draft. However, we only do this if the association has multiple paths.

The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for copyying security marks back from connections to packets. This is similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this is all it needs to do. A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then restore the security mark from the connection to established and related packets on that connection.
