With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer - skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

Since there is now only one spot that actually uses "fastpath" there isn't much point in carrying it. Instead we can just use a check for skb_cloned to verify if we can perform the fast-path free for the head or not.

The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.

This patch adds support for a skb_head_is_locked helper function. It is meant to be used any time we are considering transferring the head from skb->head to a paged frag. If the head is locked it means we cannot remove the head from the skb so it must be copied or we must take the skb as a whole.

This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to track each other via shinfo->dataref. Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count, one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.

GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area. We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb (one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory. This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a single sk_buff is fetched.

skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if needed. We have three spots were it hurts : 1) GRO aggregation When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network stack aren't enabling full GRO power. 2) splice(socket -> pipe). We must copy the linear part to a page fragment. This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim) 3) TCP coalescing. Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory, and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be too slow) Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag, skb->head_frag to carry this information. build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero value, set to the fragment size. Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself, we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various fallbacks we have. This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear part, no need to copy data.

register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to register sysctls. My take on the situation is that what we want are sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace. What we have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial network namespace. That is a very silly way to go. Just register the network sysctls in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special cases to deal with. The sysctls affected are: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval /proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a child user namespace.

This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master' device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge, or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command will be handled by the master device as well so that current user space tools continue to work as expected. The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed and programmed in the embedded bridge. Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge in sync. There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any error occurs. To support this new net device ops were added to call into the device and the existing bridging code was refactored to use these. There should be no required changes in user space to support the current bridge behavior. A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this, veth0 veth2 | | ------------ | bridge0 | <---- software bridging ------------ / / ethx.y ethx VF PF \ \ <---- propagate FDB entries to HW \ \ -------------------- | Embedded Bridge | <---- hardware offloaded switching -------------------- In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0' to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this into the DSA framework generates similar management issues. Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled ixgbe driver: # br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3 # br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static #br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 #br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 local embedded #br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all.
