This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now an offset. This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as an offset regardless of the value of NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Hi. I'm trying to send big chunks of memory from application address space via TCP socket using vmsplice + splice like this mem = mmap(128Mb); vmsplice(pipe[1], mem); /* splice memory into pipe */ splice(pipe[0], tcp_socket); /* send it into network */ When I'm lucky and a huge page splices into the pipe and then into the socket _and_ client and server ends of the TCP connection are on the same host, communicating via lo, the whole connection gets stuck! The sending queue becomes full and app stops writing/splicing more into it, but the receiving queue remains empty, and that's why. The __skb_fill_page_desc observes a tail page of a huge page and erroneously propagates its page->pfmemalloc value onto socket (the pfmemalloc on tail pages contain garbage). Then this skb->pfmemalloc leaks through lo and due to the tcp_v4_rcv sk_filter if (skb->pfmemalloc && !sock_flag(sk, SOCK_MEMALLOC)) /* true */ return -ENOMEM goto release_and_discard; no packets reach the socket. Even TCP re-transmits are dropped by this, as skb cloning clones the pfmemalloc flag as well. That said, here's the proper page->pfmemalloc propagation onto socket: we must check the huge-page's head page only, other pages' pfmemalloc and mapping values do not contain what is expected in this place. However, I'm not sure whether this fix is _complete_, since pfmemalloc propagation via lo also oesn't look great. Both, bit propagation from page to skb and this check in sk_filter, were introduced by c48a11c7 (netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb), in v3.5 so Mel and stable@ are in Cc.

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.

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.

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.

Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash, but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols, they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g., for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels, the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible, but devices do not. This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag. Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case: 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash With 200x TCP_RR it increases to 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has to take place after flow dissector.

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 patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments to the skb. It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to ensure the flag is copied properly. Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform slower if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result in failure.

Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming sk_sndbuf is not too big) We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain, now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance matters.

At the beginning of __skb_cow, headroom gets set to a minimum of NET_SKB_PAD. This causes unnecessary reallocations if the buffer was not cloned and the headroom is just below NET_SKB_PAD, but still more than the amount requested by the caller. This was showing up frequently in my tests on VLAN tx, where vlan_insert_tag calls skb_cow_head(skb, VLAN_HLEN). Locally generated packets should have enough headroom, and for forward paths, we already have NET_SKB_PAD bytes of headroom, so we don't need to add any extra space here.
