bonding: Fix bonding crash

2016-09-24T08:09:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 24b27fc4cdf9e10c5e79e5923b6b7c2c5c95096c ] Following few steps will crash kernel - (a) Create bonding master > modprobe bonding miimon=50 (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2 > ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \ type macvlan (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond > echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is busy or not. In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to register rx_handler for the new slave. This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

net: also make sch_handle_egress() drop monitor ready

2016-05-16T18:02:44+00:00

Follow-up for 8a3a4c6e7b34 ("net: make sch_handle_ingress() drop monitor ready") to also make the egress side drop monitor ready. Also here only TC_ACT_SHOT is a clear indication that something went wrong. Hence don't provide false positives to drop monitors such as 'perf record -e skb:kfree_skb ...'.

net: l3mdev: Add hook in ip and ipv6

2016-05-11T23:31:40+00:00

Currently the VRF driver uses the rx_handler to switch the skb device to the VRF device. Switching the dev prior to the ip / ipv6 layer means the VRF driver has to duplicate IP/IPv6 processing which adds overhead and makes features such as retaining the ingress device index more complicated than necessary. This patch moves the hook to the L3 layer just after the first NF_HOOK for PRE_ROUTING. This location makes exposing the original ingress device trivial (next patch) and allows adding other NF_HOOKs to the VRF driver in the future. dev_queue_xmit_nit is exported so that the VRF driver can cycle the skb with the switched device through the packet taps to maintain current behavior (tcpdump can be used on either the vrf device or the enslaved devices).

net: make sch_handle_ingress() drop monitor ready

2016-05-09T03:53:22+00:00

TC_ACT_STOLEN is used when ingress traffic is mirred/redirected to say ifb. Packet is not dropped, but consumed. Only TC_ACT_SHOT is a clear indication something went wrong.

net: Fix netdev_fix_features so that TSO_MANGLEID is only available with TSO

2016-05-04T17:32:27+00:00

This change makes it so that we will strip the TSO_MANGLEID bit if TSO is not present. This way we will also handle ECN correctly of TSO is not present. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Disable segmentation if checksumming is not supported

2016-05-03T20:00:54+00:00

In the case of the mlx4 and mlx5 driver they do not support IPv6 checksum offload for tunnels. With this being the case we should disable GSO in addition to the checksum offload features when we find that a device cannot perform a checksum on a given packet type.

tuntap: calculate rps hash only when needed

2016-04-28T20:38:54+00:00

There's no need to calculate rps hash if it was not enabled. So this patch export rps_needed and check it before trying to get rps hash. Tests (using pktgen to inject packets to guest) shows this can improve pps about 13% (when rps is disabled). Before: ~1150000 pps After: ~1300000 pps Cc: Michael S.
