net: store port/representator id in metadata_dst

2017-06-25T15:42:01+00:00

Switches and modern SR-IOV enabled NICs may multiplex traffic from Port representators and control messages over single set of hardware queues. Control messages and muxed traffic may need ordered delivery. Those requirements make it hard to comfortably use TC infrastructure today unless we have a way of attaching metadata to skbs at the upper device. Because single set of queues is used for many netdevs stopping TC/sched queues of all of them reliably is impossible and lower device has to retreat to returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY and usually has to take extra locks on the fastpath. This patch attempts to enable port/representative devs to attach metadata to skbs which carry port id. This way representatives can be queueless and all queuing can be performed at the lower netdev in the usual way. Traffic arriving on the port/representative interfaces will be have metadata attached and will subsequently be queued to the lower device for transmission. The lower device should recognize the metadata and translate it to HW specific format which is most likely either a special header inserted before the network headers or descriptor/metadata fields. Metadata is associated with the lower device by storing the netdev pointer along with port id so that if TC decides to redirect or mirror the new netdev will not try to interpret it. This is mostly for SR-IOV devices since switches don't have lower netdevs today. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

net: add extack arg to lwtunnel build state

2017-05-30T15:55:32+00:00

Pass extack arg down to lwtunnel_build_state and the build_state callbacks. Add messages for failures in lwtunnel_build_state, and add the extarg to nla_parse where possible in the build_state callbacks. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: pass extended ACK struct to parsing functions

2017-04-13T17:58:22+00:00

Pass the new extended ACK reporting struct to all of the generic netlink parsing functions. For now, pass NULL in almost all callers (except for some in the core.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lwtunnel: remove device arg to lwtunnel_build_state

2017-01-30T20:14:22+00:00

Nothing about lwt state requires a device reference, so remove the input argument. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Specify the owning module for lwtunnel ops

2017-01-24T21:21:36+00:00

Modules implementing lwtunnel ops should not be allowed to unload while there is state alive using those ops, so specify the owning module for all lwtunnel ops. Signed-off-by: Robert Shearman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void function

2017-01-08T22:51:44+00:00

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could incorrectly assume that the return value was used. Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: allow local fragmentation in ip_finish_output_gso()

2016-11-03T20:10:26+00:00

Some configurations (e.g. geneve interface with default MTU of 1500 over an ethernet interface with 1500 MTU) result in the transmission of packets that exceed the configured MTU. While this should be considered to be a "bad" configuration, it is still allowed and should not result in the sending of packets that exceed the configured MTU. Fix by dropping the assumption in ip_finish_output_gso() that locally originated gso packets will never need fragmentation. Basic testing using iperf (observing CPU usage and bandwidth) have shown no measurable performance impact for traffic not requiring fragmentation.

ip_tunnel: do not clear l4 hashes

net: ip_finish_output_gso: Allow fragmenting segments of tunneled skbs if their DF is unset

2016-08-23T00:11:01+00:00

In b8247f095e, "net: ip_finish_output_gso: If skb_gso_network_seglen exceeds MTU, allow segmentation for local udp tunneled skbs" gso skbs arriving from an ingress interface that go through UDP tunneling, are allowed to be fragmented if the resulting encapulated segments exceed the dst mtu of the egress interface. This aligned the behavior of gso skbs to non-gso skbs going through udp encapsulation path. However the non-gso vs gso anomaly is present also in the following cases of a GRE tunnel: - ip_gre in collect_md mode, where TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT is not set (e.g. OvS vport-gre with df_default=false) - ip_gre in nopmtudisc mode, where IFLA_GRE_IGNORE_DF is set In both of the above cases, the non-gso skbs get fragmented, whereas the gso skbs (having skb_gso_network_seglen that exceeds dst mtu) get dropped, as they don't go through the segment+fragment code path. Fix: Setting IPSKB_FRAG_SEGS if the tunnel specified IP_DF bit is NOT set. Tunnels that do set IP_DF, will not go to fragmentation of segments. This preserves behavior of ip_gre in (the default) pmtudisc mode.
