      net: Add GRO support for UDP encapsulating protocols · b582ef09
      Or Gerlitz 提交于
      Add GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the intent of
      being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to
      the same TCP session.
      
      For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type
      field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header.
      
      The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination
      port is registered to have gro handler.
      
      Use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow (flush) running the udp gro receive
      code twice on a packet. This solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose
      inner VM packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads.

      net: rename sysfs symlinks on device name change · 5bb025fa
      Veaceslav Falico 提交于
      Currently, we don't rename the upper/lower_ifc symlinks in
      /sys/class/net/*/ , which might result stale/duplicate links/names.
      
      Fix this by adding netdev_adjacent_rename_links(dev, oldname) which renames
      all the upper/lower interface's links to dev from the upper/lower_oldname
      to the new name.
      
      We don't need a rollback because only we control these symlinks and if we
      fail to rename them - sysfs will anyway complain.

      net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding · f663dd9a
      Jason Wang 提交于
      Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
      will cause several issues:
      
      - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
        instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
        lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
        control path.
      - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
        watchdog.
      - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
        when tso is disabled for lower device.
      
      Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
      selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
      extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
      forwarding transmission.
      
      With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
      to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
      a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
      dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
      
      In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
      provides a necessary synchronization method.

      net-gre-gro: Add GRE support to the GRO stack · bf5a755f
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8
      ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
      the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
      stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
      protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
      
      The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
      will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
      is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
      thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
      
      Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
      ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
      IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
      be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
      
      The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
      and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
      the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
      validating the GRE csum.
      
      Note that commit 60769a5d "ipv4: gre:
      add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
      tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
      GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
      GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
      is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
      Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
      where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
      harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
      are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
      In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
      all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
      
      I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
      that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
      usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
      following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
      will be needed to decide the best setting.
      
      All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
      (super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
      
      An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
      mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
      is configured.
      
      The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
      feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).

      The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of

      ipv4: fix tunneled VM traffic over hw VXLAN/GRE GSO NIC · 7a7ffbab
      Wei-Chun Chao 提交于
      VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE
      tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE
      GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4).
      
      Two issues -
      (VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with
      SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header
      integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is
      TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that
      includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied
      to the inner packet.
      
      (VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs
      is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the
      tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be
      restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original
      packet.

      vlan: Fix header ops passthru when doing TX VLAN offload. · 2205369a
      David S. Miller 提交于
      When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
      in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
      be invoked directly.
      
      But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
      header_ops up to the VLAN device.
      
      This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
      routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
      will see a VLAN device instead.
      
      Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
      to pass the proper real device instead.
      
      To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
      implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a
      ->rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
      dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.
      
      Use this helper in the one existing place where the
      header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.
      
      With lots of help from Florian Westphal.

      net: make neigh_priv_len in struct net_device 16bit instead of 8bit · a0a9663d
      Sebastian Siewior 提交于
      neigh_priv_len is defined as u8. With all debug enabled struct
      ipoib_neigh has 200 bytes. The largest part is sk_buff_head with 96
      bytes and here the spinlock with 72 bytes.
      The size value still fits in this u8 leaving some room for more.
      
      On -RT struct ipoib_neigh put on weight and has 392 bytes. The main
      reason is sk_buff_head with 288 and the fatty here is spinlock with 192
      bytes. This does no longer fit into into neigh_priv_len and gcc
      complains.
      
      This patch changes neigh_priv_len from being 8bit to 16bit. Since the
      following element (dev_id) is 16bit followed by a spinlock which is
      aligned, the struct remains with a total size of 3200 (allmodconfig) /
      2048 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes on x86-64.
      On x86-32 the struct is 1856 (allmodconfig) / 1216 (with as much debug
      off as possible) bytes long. The numbers were gained with and without
      the patch to prove that this change does not increase the size of the
      struct.

      net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support · 299603e8
      Jerry Chu 提交于
      This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header"
      and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow
      an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the
      encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP
      tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later.
      
      With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on
      skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g.,
      skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the
      the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for
      a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new
      encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows
      (e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a
      different hdr length.
      
      Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and
      will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at
      most one "transport layer" in the encap chain.

      tipc: remove TIPC usage of field af_packet_priv in struct net_device · 37cb0620
      Ying Xue 提交于
      TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device
      as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network
      device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such
      as the one discussed here:
      
      http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/
      
      This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new
      field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose.
      When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to
      'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall
      from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from
      'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached
      from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL.
      
      Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer.
      Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to
      serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is
      applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid
      within its wrapped area for all readers.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
      necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
      The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.
      
      * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
        dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace().  The placement is
        arbitrary.
      
      * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
        callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
        class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace().  It's not simpler
        in any sense.  The only thing this convolution does is traversing
        the whole stack backwards.
      
      The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
      are inherently synchronous.  The information can be provided in in
      straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
      unnecessary and against basic design principles.
      
      This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
      properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
      layering.  This patch updates attr ns support such that
      
      * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.
      
      * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
        added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
        around the ns aware functions.
      
      * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file().  Nobody uses it at
        this point.  sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.
      
      * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
        and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().
      
      * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
        namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
        with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.
      
      This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
      difference.  It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
      a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

      Add a possibility to iterate through netdev_adjacent's private, currently
      only for lower neighbours.
      
      Add both RCU and RTNL/other locking variants of iterators, and make the
      non-rcu variant to be safe from removal.

      net: add netdev_adjacent->private and allow to use it · 402dae96
      Veaceslav Falico 提交于
      Currently, even though we can access any linked device, we can't attach
      anything to it, which is vital to properly manage them.
      
      To fix this, add a new void *private to netdev_adjacent and functions
      setting/getting it (per link), so that we can save, per example, bonding's
      slave structures there, per slave device.
      
      netdev_master_upper_dev_link_private(dev, upper_dev, private) links dev to
      upper dev and populates the neighbour link only with private.
      
      netdev_lower_dev_get_private{,_rcu}() returns the private, if found.

      net: add adj_list to save only neighbours · 2f268f12
      Veaceslav Falico 提交于
      Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from
      non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be
      quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through
      neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for
      this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on
      top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go
      through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices.
      
      This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases
      when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path.
      
      To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure -
      adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in
      pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list),
      i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains
      also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible,
      currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't
      change the main linked logic at all.
      
      Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in
      netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following
      rules:
      
      netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_*
      
      If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower
      devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to
      get better stack traces.

      vxlan: Notify drivers for listening UDP port changes · 53cf5275
      Joseph Gasparakis 提交于
      This patch adds two more ndo ops: ndo_add_rx_vxlan_port() and
      ndo_del_rx_vxlan_port().
      
      Drivers can get notifications through the above functions about changes
      of the UDP listening port of VXLAN. Also, when physical ports come up,
      now they can call vxlan_get_rx_port() in order to obtain the port number(s)
      of the existing VXLAN interface in case they already up before them.
      
      This information about the listening UDP port would be used for VXLAN
      related offloads.
      
      A big thank you to John Fastabend (john.r.fastabend@intel.com) for his
      input and his suggestions on this patch set.

      net: add lower_dev_list to net_device and make a full mesh · 5d261913
      Veaceslav Falico 提交于
      This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same
      as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same
      way as the upper list.
      
      It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they
      contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first
      level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in
      netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch.
      
      There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent
      list, the simplest would be:
      
           /---- eth0.10 ---\
      eth0-		       --- bond0
           \---- eth0.20 ---/
      
      where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times.
      To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as
      the number of times the device was added to the list.
      
      The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the
      upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the
      lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice
      versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic.
      
      I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and
      no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces.
      
      Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both
      upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be:
      
      128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB
      
      but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves
      and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.
