Revert "net: Handle CHECKSUM_COMPLETE more adequately in pskb_trim_rcsum()." 2013-12-02T22:26:05+00:00 David S.

It causes regressions for people using chips driven by the sungem driver. Suspicion is that the skb->csum value isn't being adjusted properly. The change also has a bug in that if __pskb_trim() fails, we'll leave a corruped skb->csum value in there. We would really need to revert it to it's original value in that case.

This reverts commit 018c5bba052b3a383d83cf0c756da0e7bc748397.

It causes regressions for people using chips driven by the sungem
driver.  Suspicion is that the skb->csum value isn't being adjusted
properly.

The change also has a bug in that if __pskb_trim() fails, we'll leave
a corruped skb->csum value in there.  We would really need to revert

We have all of the mechanics available to fixup the skb->csum value, even for complicated fragmented packets, via the helpers skb_checksum() and csum_sub(). So just use them.

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs 2013-11-11T05:19:35+00:00 Jiri Pirko jiri@resnulli.us 2013-11-06T16:52:20+00:00 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: <example> On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) </example> As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

Now ipv6_gso_segment() is stackable, its relatively easy to
implement GSO/TSO support for SIT tunnels

Performance results, when segmentation is done after tunnel
device (as no NIC is yet enabled for TSO SIT support) :
