2015-03-14rtnetlink: call ->dellink on failure when ->newlink existsWANG Cong
[ Upstream commit 7afb8886a05be68e376655539a064ec672de8a8e ] Ignacy reported that when eth0 is down and add a vlan device on top of it like: ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 up type vlan id 1 We will get a refcount leak: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.1 to become free. Usage count = 2 The problem is when rtnl_configure_link() fails in rtnl_newlink(), we simply call unregister_device(), but for stacked device like vlan, we almost do nothing when we unregister the upper device, more work is done when we unregister the lower device, so call its ->dellink().

2015-03-14rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARYDaniel Borkmann
[ Upstream commit 364d5716a7adb91b731a35765d369602d68d2881 ] ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the len member as *max* attribute length [0, len]. The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length is less than the size of the related structure itself. The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least data of minimum size of len.

2015-03-14pktgen: fix UDP checksum computationSabrina Dubroca
[ Upstream commit 7744b5f3693cc06695cb9d6667671c790282730f ] This patch fixes two issues in UDP checksum computation in pktgen. First, the pseudo-header uses the source and destination IP addresses. Currently, the ports are used for IPv4. Second, the UDP checksum covers both header and data. So we need to generate the data earlier (move pktgen_finalize_skb up), and compute the checksum for UDP header + data.

[ Upstream commit 233c96fc077d310772375d47522fb444ff546905 ] flow_cache_flush_task references a structure member flow_cache_gc_work where it should reference flow_cache_flush_task instead. Kernel panic occurs on kernels using IPsec during XFRM garbage collection.

2015-02-26net: rps: fix cpu unplugEric Dumazet
[ Upstream commit ac64da0b83d82abe62f78b3d0e21cca31aea24fa ] softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets into victim queue. A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu is offline. Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing, only make migration safer.

2015-01-27net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_checkJesse Gross
[ Upstream commit 5f35227ea34bb616c436d9da47fc325866c428f3 ] GSO isn't the only offload feature with restrictions that potentially can't be expressed with the current features mechanism. Checksum is another although it's a general issue that could in theory apply to anything. Even if it may be possible to implement these restrictions in other ways, it can result in duplicate code or inefficient per-packet behavior. This generalizes ndo_gso_check so that drivers can remove any features that don't make sense for a given packet, similar to netif_skb_features(). It also converts existing driver restrictions to the new format, completing the work that was done to support tunnel protocols since the issues apply to checksums as well. By actually removing features from the set that are used to do offloading, it solves another problem with the existing interface. In these cases, GSO would run with the original set of features and not do anything because it appears that segmentation is not required.

Note that the warning is associated with the container eth0. The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet headers. The receive code is careful to update the skb->csum, except in __dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb. __dev_forward_skb calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN) to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb->csum when doing so. This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb->csum after the call to eth_type_trans.

[ Upstream commit b8fb4e0648a2ab3734140342002f68fb0c7d1602 ] skb_scrub_packet() is called when a packet switches between a context such as between underlay and overlay, between namespaces, or between L3 subnets.

[ Upstream commit 796f2da81bead71ffc91ef70912cd8d1827bf756 ] When vlan tags are stacked, it is very likely that the outer tag is stored in skb->vlan_tci and skb->protocol shows the inner tag's vlan_proto. Currently netif_skb_features() first looks at skb->protocol even if there is the outer tag in vlan_tci, thus it incorrectly retrieves the protocol encapsulated by the inner vlan instead of the inner vlan protocol.

This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

This patch addresses a kernel unaligned access bug seen on a sparc64 system with an igb adapter. Specifically the __skb_flow_get_ports was returning a be32 pointer which was then having the value directly returned. In order to prevent this it is actually easier to simply not populate the ports or address values when an skb is not present. In this case the assumption is that the data isn't needed and rather than slow down the faster aligned accesses by making them have to assume the unaligned path on architectures that don't support efficent unaligned access it makes more sense to simply switch off the bits that were copying the source and destination address/port for the case where we only care about the protocol types and lengths which are normally 16 bit fields anyway.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next, they are: 1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4 and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table. 2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy. 3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots in the network stack code. 4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash). 5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad) idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information back to userspace. 6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge. In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from this hooks too. 7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter. This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the br_netfilter modularization. 8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman. 9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition / deletion path.

2014-10-04net: Cleanup skb cloning by adding SKB_FCLONE_FREEVijay Subramanian
SKB_FCLONE_UNAVAILABLE has overloaded meaning depending on type of skb. 1: If skb is allocated from head_cache, it indicates fclone is not available. 2: If skb is a companion fclone skb (allocated from fclone_cache), it indicates it is available to be used. To avoid confusion for case 2 above, this patch replaces SKB_FCLONE_UNAVAILABLE with SKB_FCLONE_FREE where appropriate. For fclone companion skbs, this indicates it is free for use. SKB_FCLONE_UNAVAILABLE will now simply indicate skb is from head_cache and cannot / will not have a companion fclone.

2014-10-03qdisc: validate skb without holding lockEric Dumazet
Validation of skb can be pretty expensive : GSO segmentation and/or checksum computations. We can do this without holding qdisc lock, so that other cpus can queue additional packets. Trick is that requeued packets were already validated, so we carry a boolean so that sch_direct_xmit() can validate a fresh skb list, or directly use an old one. Tested on 40Gb NIC (8 TX queues) and 200 concurrent flows, 48 threads host. Turning TSO on or off had no effect on throughput, only few more cpu cycles. Lock contention on qdisc lock disappeared. Same if disabling TX checksum offload. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-09-30net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlenJohn Fastabend
This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue(). The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in. It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead of 128+32. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-09-29gro: fix aggregation for skb using frag_listEric Dumazet
In commit 8a29111c7ca6 ("net: gro: allow to build full sized skb") I added a regression for linear skb that traditionally force GRO to use the frag_list fallback. Erez Shitrit found that at most two segments were aggregated and the "if (skb_gro_len(p) != pinfo->gso_size)" test was failing. This is because pinfo at this spot still points to the last skb in the chain, instead of the first one, where we find the correct gso_size information.

With proliferation of bit fields in sk_buff, __copy_skb_header() became quite expensive, showing as the most expensive function in a GSO workload. __copy_skb_header() performance is also critical for non GSO TCP operations, as it is used from skb_clone() This patch carefully moves all the fields that were not copied in a separate zone : cloned, nohdr, fclone, peeked, head_frag, xmit_more Then I moved all other fields and all other copied fields in a section delimited by headers_start[0]/headers_end[0] section so that we can use a single memcpy() call, inlined by compiler using long word load/stores. I also tried to make all copies in the natural orders of sk_buff, to help hardware prefetching. I made sure sk_buff size did not change.
