2014-04-01net: Add a test to see if a skb is freeable in irq contextEric W. Biederman
Currently netpoll and skb_release_head_state assume that a skb is freeable in hard irq context except when skb->destructor is set. The reality is far from this. So add a function skb_irq_freeable to compute the full test and in the process be the living documentation of what the requirements are of actually freeing a skb in hard irq context.

2014-04-01net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own fileDaniel Borkmann
This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

ktime_get() is too expensive on some cases, and we'd like to get usec resolution timestamps in TCP stack.

Instead of : u64 t0, t1; t0 = ktime_get(); // stuff t1 = ktime_get(); delta_us = ktime_us_delta(t1, t0); use : struct skb_mstamp t0, t1; skb_mstamp_get(&t0); // stuff skb_mstamp_get(&t1); delta_us = skb_mstamp_us_delta(&t1, &t0); Note : local_clock() might have a (bounded) drift between cpus.

2014-02-13net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding pathFlorian Westphal
Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO. Given: Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2 Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO. In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding the mtu. When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu. This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso segment lengths into account. For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual segments are too big. For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine. It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to work fine in my (limited) tests. Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid sofware segmentation. However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be. Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded. This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4 non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect, but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later once the dust settles.

2013-11-11netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbsJiri Pirko
Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: <example> On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) </example> As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

Currently, skb_checksum walks over 1) linearized, 2) frags[], and 3) frag_list data and calculats the one's complement, a 32 bit result suitable for feeding into itself or csum_tcpudp_magic(), but unsuitable for SCTP as we're calculating CRC32c there.

2013-10-19ipv4: gso: make inet_gso_segment() stackableEric Dumazet
In order to support GSO on IPIP, we need to make inet_gso_segment() stackable. It should not assume network header starts right after mac header. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-10-18net: refactor sk_page_frag_refill()Eric Dumazet
While working on virtio_net new allocation strategy to increase payload/truesize ratio, we found that refactoring sk_page_frag_refill() was needed. This patch splits sk_page_frag_refill() into two parts, adding skb_page_frag_refill() which can be used without a socket. While we are at it, add a minimum frag size of 32 for sk_page_frag_refill() Michael will either use netdev_alloc_frag() from softirq context, or skb_page_frag_refill() from process context in refill_work() (GFP_KERNEL allocations) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Michael Dalton <mwdalton@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Usually it's an argument signature change or a function being added/removed. The resolutions are trivial. 2) Some overlapping changes in qmi_wwan.c and be.h, one commit adds a new value, another changes an existing value. That sort of thing. Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-26net.h/skbuff.h: Remove extern from function prototypesJoe Perches
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
