net: fix a wrong assignment in skb_split()

2013-02-20T20:11:44+00:00

commit c9af6db4c11ccc6c3e7f1 (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
has a suspicous piece:

	-       skb_shinfo(skb1)->gso_type = skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type;
	-
	+       skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags = skb_shinfo(skb1)->tx_flags & SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG;

skb1 is the new skb, therefore should be on the left side of the assignment.
This patch fixes it.

v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE

2013-02-15T20:17:11+00:00

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.

2013-02-13T18:30:10+00:00

Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.

Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.

tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

net: skbuff: fix compile error in skb_panic()

2013-02-13T16:52:04+00:00

I get the following build error on next-20130213 due to the following
commit:

commit f05de73bf82fbbc00265c06d12efb7273f7dc54a ("skbuff: create
skb_panic() function and its wrappers").

It adds an argument called panic to a function that uses the BUG() macro
which tries to call panic, but the argument masks the panic() function
declaration, resulting in the following error (gcc 4.2.4):

net/core/skbuff.c In function 'skb_panic':
net/core/skbuff.c +126 : error: called object 'panic' is not a function

This is fixed by renaming the argument to msg.

skbuff: create skb_panic() function and its wrappers

2013-02-12T00:14:43+00:00

Create skb_panic() function in lieu of both skb_over_panic() and
skb_under_panic() so that code duplication would be avoided. Update type
and variable name where necessary.

Jiri Pirko suggested using wrappers so that we would be able to keep the
fruits of the original code.

skbuff: Move definition of NETDEV_FRAG_PAGE_MAX_SIZE

2013-02-08T22:33:35+00:00

In order to address the fact that some devices cannot support the full 32K
frag size we need to have the value accessible somewhere so that we can use it
to do comparisons against what the device can support.  As such I am moving
the values out of skbuff.c and into skbuff.h.

The ipv6 route.c conflict is simple, just ignore the 'net' side change
as we fixed the same problem in 'net-next' by eliminating cached
neighbours from ipv6 routes.

The e1000e conflict is an addition of a new statistic in the ethtool
code, trivial.

The vmxnet3 conflict is about one change in 'net' removing a guarding
conditional, whilst in 'net-next' we had a netdev_info() conversion.

The iwlwifi conflict is dealing with a WARN_ON() conversion in
'net-next' vs. a revert happening in 'net'.

net: fix possible wrong checksum generation

2013-01-28T05:27:15+00:00

Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.

He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().

This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.

Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Tested:

$ netperf -H 7.7.8.84

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.

net: splice: fix __splice_segment()

2013-01-21T04:19:36+00:00

commit 9ca1b22d6d2 (net: splice: avoid high order page splitting)
forgot that skb->head could need a copy into several page frags.

This could be the case for loopback traffic mostly.

Also remove now useless skb argument from linear_to_page()
and __splice_segment() prototypes.
