2014-09-05net: Add function for parsing the header length out of linear ethernet framesAlexander Duyck
This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support sending a linear buffer instead of a skb. I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

2014-08-23net: Allow raw buffers to be passed into the flow dissector.David S. Miller
Drivers, and perhaps other entities we have not yet considered, sometimes want to know how deep the protocol headers go before deciding how large of an SKB to allocate and how much of the packet to place into the linear SKB area. For example, consider a driver which has a device which DMAs into pools of pages and then tells the driver where the data went in the DMA descriptor(s). The driver can then build an SKB and reference most of the data via SKB fragments (which are page/offset/length triplets). However at least some of the front of the packet should be placed into the linear SKB area, which comes before the fragments, so that packet processing can get at the headers efficiently. The first thing each protocol layer is going to do is a "pskb_may_pull()" so we might as well aggregate as much of this as possible while we're building the SKB in the driver. Part of supporting this is that we don't have an SKB yet, so we want to be able to let the flow dissector operate on a raw buffer in order to compute the offset of the end of the headers. So now we have a __skb_flow_dissect() which takes an explicit data pointer and length. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-07-07flow_dissector: Abstract out hash computationTom Herbert
Move the hash computation located in __skb_get_hash to be a separate function which takes flow_keys as input. This will allow flow hash computation in other contexts where we only have addresses and ports. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-06-23flow_keys: Record IP layer protocol in skb_flow_dissect()Govindarajulu Varadarajan
skb_flow_dissect() dissects only transport header type in ip_proto. It dose not give any information about IPv4 or IPv6. This patch adds new member, n_proto, to struct flow_keys. Which records the IP layer type. i.e IPv4 or IPv6. This can be used in netdev->ndo_rx_flow_steer driver function to dissect flow. Adding new member to flow_keys increases the struct size by around 4 bytes. This causes BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(qcb->data) < sz); to fail in qdisc_cb_private_validate() So increase data size by 4 Signed-off-by: Govindarajulu Varadarajan <_govind@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-09-20flow.h/flow_keys.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.

2013-03-20flow_keys: include thoff into flow_keys for later usageDaniel Borkmann
In skb_flow_dissect(), we perform a dissection of a skbuff. Since we're doing the work here anyway, also store thoff for a later usage, e.g. in the BPF filter.

( CC trimmed ) Thanks David ! Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of two 32bit load/stores. [PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont break the rule. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-11-28net: introduce skb_flow_dissect()Eric Dumazet
We use at least two flow dissectors in network stack, with known limitations and code duplication. Introduce skb_flow_dissect() to factorize this, highly inspired from existing dissector from __skb_get_rxhash() Note : We extensively use skb_header_pointer(), this permits us to not touch skb at all.
