mactap: Fix checksum errors for non-gso packets in bridge mode

2014-04-30T20:12:22+00:00

The following is a problematic configuration: VM1: virtio-net device connected to macvtap0@eth0 VM2: e1000 device connect to macvtap1@eth0 The problem is is that virtio-net supports checksum offloading and thus sends the packets to the host with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set. On the other hand, e1000 does not support any acceleration. For small TCP packets (and this includes the 3-way handshake), e1000 ends up receiving packets that only have a partial checksum set. This causes TCP to fail checksum validation and to drop packets. As a result tcp connections can not be established. Commit 3e4f8b787370978733ca6cae452720a4f0c296b8 macvtap: Perform GSO on forwarding path. fixes this issue for large packets wthat will end up undergoing GSO. This commit adds a check for the non-GSO case and attempts to compute the checksum for partially checksummed packets in the non-GSO case.

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: Remove custom recieve and forward handlers

2013-12-12T18:38:39+00:00

Since now macvlan and macvtap use the same receive and forward handlers, we can remove them completely and use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb() directly. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvtap: Add support of packet capture on macvtap device.

2013-12-12T18:38:39+00:00

Macvtap device currently doesn not allow a user to capture traffic on due to the fact that it steals the packets from the network stack before the skb->dev is set correctly on the receive side, and that use uses macvlan transmit path directly on the send side. As a result, we never get a change to give traffic to the taps while the correct device is set in the skb. This patch makes macvtap device behave almost exaclty like macvlan. On the send side, we switch to using dev_queue_xmit(). On the receive side, to deliver packets to macvtap, we now use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb just like macvlan. The only differnce now is that macvtap has its own rx_handler which is attached to the macvtap netdev. It is here that we now steal the packet and provide it to the socket. As a result, we can now capture traffic on the macvtap device: tcpdump -i macvtap0 It also gives us the abilit to add tc actions to the macvtap device and actually utilize different bandwidth management queues on output.

macvtap: signal truncated packets

2013-12-11T20:23:06+00:00

macvtap_put_user() never return a value grater than iov length, this in fact bypasses the truncated checking in macvtap_recvmsg(). Fix this by always returning the size of packet plus the possible vlan header to let the trunca checking work. Cc: Vlad Yasevich Cc: Zhi Yong Wu Cc: Michael S.
