We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is a vlan tag. However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags. Therefore if there is more than one tag (in-band or out-of-band), fall back to software emulation.

When checking if it is necessary to linearize a packet, we currently use vlan_features if the packet contains either an in-band or out- of-band vlan tag. However, in-band tags aren't special in any way for scatter/gather since they are part of the packet buffer and are simply more data to DMA. Therefore, only use vlan_features for out- of-band tags, which could potentially have some interaction with scatter/gather.

nlmsg_total_size() calculates the length of a netlink message including header and alignment. nla_total_size() calculates the space an individual attribute consumes which was meant to be used in this context. Also, ensure to account for the attribute header for the IFLA_INFO_XSTATS attribute as implementations of get_xstats_size() seem to assume that we do so. The addition of two message headers minus the missing attribute header resulted in a calculated message size that was larger than required. Therefore we never risked running out of skb tailroom.

There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by hostile user. Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is expensive since most filters dont even use this array. Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of the jumps. This might be done later. In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks. For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction.

A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug. printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's just never copy more than that much data.

This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers. Once we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec by setting the iov_len members to zero. This works because: 1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial writes are allowed and the application will just continue with another write to send the rest of the data. 2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger than the packet size limit the protocol is going to check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

Some panic reports in fib_rules_lookup() show a rule could have a NULL pointer as a next pointer in the rules_list. This can actually happen because of a bug in fib_nl_newrule() : It checks if current rule is the destination of unresolved gotos. (Other rules have gotos to this about to be inserted rule) Problem is it does the resolution of the gotos before the rule is inserted in the rules_list (and has a valid next pointer) Fix this by moving the rules_list insertion before the changes on gotos. A lockless reader can not any more follow a ctarget pointer, unless destination is ready (has a valid next pointer) Reported-by: NOleg A.

由 Jesse Gross 提交于
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping it in the networking core. This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the following: * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing the header if no group * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main receive routines * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic out in upper layers, such as bonding. There are a number of advantages to this: * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once. * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode). * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely necessary. * Consolidates common code in core networking.

Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether the device supports it before generating packets. However, vlan acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult. This adds a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware accleration.

There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time (used once). Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst. This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly. CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary dsts. Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(), since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

In an erlier patch I modified napi_poll so that devices with IFF_MASTER polled the per_cpu list instead of the device list for napi. I did this because the bonding driver has no napi instances to poll, it instead expects to check the slave devices napi instances, which napi_poll was unaware of. Looking at this more closely however, I now see this isn't strictly needed. As the bond driver poll_controller calls the slaves poll_controller via netpoll_poll_dev, which recursively calls poll_napi on each slave, allowing those napi instances to get serviced. The earlier patch isn't at all harmfull, its just not needed, so lets revert it to make the code cleaner.

Usually the netpoll path, when preforming a napi poll can get away with just polling all the napi instances of the configured device. Thats not the case for the bonding driver however, as the napi instances which may wind up getting flagged as needing polling after the poll_controller call don't belong to the bonded device, but rather to the slave devices. Fix this by checking the device in question for the IFF_MASTER flag, if set, we know we need to check the full poll list for this cpu, rather than just the devices napi instance list.

The bonding driver currently modifies the netpoll structure in its xmit path while sending frames from netpoll. This is racy, as other cpus can access the netpoll structure in parallel. Since the bonding driver points np->dev to a slave device, other cpus can inadvertently attempt to send data directly to slave devices, leading to improper locking with the bonding master, lost frames, and deadlocks. This patch fixes that up. This patch also removes the real_dev pointer from the netpoll structure as that data is really only used by bonding in the poll_controller, and we can emulate its behavior by check each slave for IS_UP.

commit b30973f8 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.
