2013-06-05Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/netDavid S. Miller
Merge 'net' bug fixes into 'net-next' as we have patches that will build on top of them. This merge commit includes a change from Emil Goode (emilgoode@gmail.com) that fixes a warning that would have been introduced by this merge. Specifically it fixes the pingv6_ops method ipv6_chk_addr() to add a "const" to the "struct net_device *dev" argument and likewise update the dummy_ipv6_chk_addr() declaration.

2013-05-31udp6: Fix udp fragmentation for tunnel traffic.Pravin B Shelar
udp6 over GRE tunnel does not work after to GRE tso changes. GRE tso handler passes inner packet but keeps track of outer header start in SKB_GSO_CB(skb)->mac_offset. udp6 fragment need to take care of outer header, which start at the mac_offset, while adding fragment header. This bug is introduced by commit 68c3316311 (GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE).

2013-05-27MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

2013-03-09tunneling: Add generic Tunnel segmentation.Pravin B Shelar
Adds generic tunneling offloading support for IPv4-UDP based tunnels. GSO type is added to request this offload for a skb. netdev feature NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL is added for hardware offloaded udp-tunnel support. Currently no device supports this feature, software offload is used. This can be used by tunneling protocols like VXLAN.

2013-02-15v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GREPravin B Shelar
Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets. SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment need to push inner and outer headers to every segment. New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO always fall backs to software GSO.
