virtio-net: restore VIRTIO_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on receiving

2017-01-20T16:01:17+00:00

Commit 501db511397f ("virtio: don't set VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on
xmit") in fact disables VIRTIO_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on receiving path too,
fixing this by adding a hint (has_data_valid) and set it only on the
receiving path.

virtio: don't set VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on xmit

2017-01-17T19:07:31+00:00

This patch part reverts fd2a0437dc33 and e858fae2b0b8 which introduced a
subtle change in how the virtio_net flags are derived from the SKBs
ip_summed field.

With the above commits, the flags are set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID
when ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thus treating it differently to
ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE, which should be the same.

Further, the virtio spec 1.0 / CS04 explicitly says that
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID must not be set by the driver.

Fixes: fd2a0437dc33 ("virtio_net: introduce virtio_net_hdr_{from,to}_skb")
Fixes: e858fae2b0b8 (" virtio_net: use common code for virtio_net_hdr and skb GSO conversion")

virtio_net: Do not clear memory for struct virtio_net_hdr twice.

2016-11-19T15:37:03+00:00

virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() clears the memory for the header, so there
is no point for the callers to do the same.

virtio_net: introduce virtio_net_hdr_{from,to}_skb

2016-06-11T06:03:55+00:00

The code for conversion between virtio_net_hdr and skb GSO info is
duplicated at several places. Let's put it to a common place to allow
reuse.

virtio-net: send gratuitous packets when needed

2012-04-15T07:23:31+00:00

As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's
better to ask guest to send gratuitous packets when needed.

This patch implements VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature: hypervisor would
notice the guest when it thinks it's time for guest to announce the link
presnece. Guest tests VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt
and woule send gratuitous packets through netif_notify_peers() and ack the
notification through ctrl vq.

We need to make sure the atomicy of read and ack in guest otherwise we may ack
more times than being notified. This is done through handling the whole config
change interrupt in an non-reentrant workqueue.

virtio_net: introduce VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID

2011-06-11T22:57:47+00:00

There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been
validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag -
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum
examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when
met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization.

No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.

Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP,
when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial
checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement
could be measured by netperf.

virtio: add full three-clause BSD text to headers.

2011-05-30T01:44:14+00:00

It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my
technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to
slow virtio adoption.

I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h

2009-10-22T06:09:28+00:00

Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include " from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.
