It seems IPV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto can be destroyed in skb_gro_receive() if a new skb is allocated (to serve as an anchor for frag_list) We copy NAPI_GRO_CB() only (not the IPV6 specific part) in : *NAPI_GRO_CB(nskb) = *NAPI_GRO_CB(p); So we leave IPV6_GRO_CB(nskb)->proto to 0 (fresh skb allocation) instead of IPPROTO_TCP (6) ipv6_gro_complete() isnt able to call ops->gro_complete() [ tcp6_gro_complete() ] Fix this by moving proto in NAPI_GRO_CB() and getting rid of IPV6_GRO_CB Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

Before accessing skb first fragment, better make sure there is one. This is probably not needed for old kernels, since an ethernet frame cannot contain only an ethernet header, but the recent GRO addition to tunnels makes this patch needed. Also skb_gro_reset_offset() can be static, it actually allows compiler to inline it.

The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state reported by the driver. The default carrier state of a net device is on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the device is opened. However, we must not activate linkwatch for a unregistered device, and commit b4730016 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't. But this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN. The same issue exists with the dormant state. The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of the device, is: rtnl_lock(); rc = register_netdevice(dev); if (rc) goto out_unlock; netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */ rtnl_unlock(); but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many drivers. Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of linkwatch. Commit 22604c86 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was reverted as it could lead to deadlock. This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time only. Signed-off-by: NBen Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues. These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls. We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER. As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed device swap on busy dst. To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock. Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care ! Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after IP cache removal.

If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account.

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

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.

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. It is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly the same message passing. [1] 'br' tool was published as an RFC here and will be renamed 'bridge' http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/117664/ Thanks to Jamal Hadi Salim, Stephen Hemminger and Ben Hutchings for valuable feedback, suggestions, and review. v2: fixed api descriptions and error case with both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER set plus updated patch description.

Commit f04565dd (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many devices are defined. When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call) Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right position in ->start() method. Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer. This also reverts commit 5cac98dd (net: Fix corruption in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

This is related to fixing the bug of dropping FCoE frames when disabling tx ip checksum by 'ethtool -K ethx tx off'. The FCoE protocol stack driver would use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on tx path instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (as indicated in the 2/2 of this series). To do so, netif_needs_gso() has to be changed here to not do gso for both CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device" which appears so often. Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: NPaul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

We are seeing dev_watchdog hangs on several drivers. I suspect this is due to the __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF bit being set prior to a reset for link change, and then not being cleared by netdev_tx_reset_queue. This change corrects that. In addition we were seeing dev_watchdog hangs on igb after running the ethtool tests. We found this to be due to the fact that the ethtool test runs the same logic as ndo_start_xmit, but we were never clearing the XOFF flag since the loopback test in ethtool does not do byte queue accounting.

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.
