This avoids an indirect call per syscall for common ipv4 transports

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - avoid unneeded reclaration for udp_sendmsg, as suggested by Willem

The same code is replicated verbatim in multiple places, and the next
patches will introduce an additional user for it. Factor out a
helper and use it where appropriate. No functional change intended.

 "Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to
  different kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to
  parse the comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
  "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only". Only the "obvious" versions of
  these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
  text have been found but those have been postponed for later review
  and analysis.

  There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
  of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
  added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
  Makefiles. This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers"

<title>net: rework SIOCGSTAMP ioctl handling</title>
<updated>2019-04-19T21:07:40+00:00</updated>

<id>c7cbdbf29f488a19982cd9f4a109887f18028bbb</id>
<content type='text'>
The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many
socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same
sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which
results in a lot of duplicate code.

With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this
gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each
socket protocol implementation.

To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in
struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common
sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go
through.

We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize
it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as
timeval and timespec structures.

As Eric noticed, in .sk_destruct, sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache update is prevented, and
no barrier is needed for this. So change to use rcu_dereference_protected()
instead of rcu_dereference_check() to fetch sk_dst_cache in there.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - no change, repost after net-next is open.

Often times, recvmsg() system calls and BH handling for a particular
TCP socket are done on different cpus.

This means the incoming skb had to be allocated on a cpu,
but freed on another.

This incurs a high spinlock contention in slab layer for small rpc,
but also a high number of cache line ping pongs for larger packets.

A full size GRO packet might use 45 page fragments, meaning
that up to 45 put_page() can be involved.

More over performing the __kfree_skb() in the recvmsg() context
adds a latency for user applications, and increase probability
of trapping them in backlog processing, since the BH handler
might found the socket owned by the user.

This patch, combined with the prior one increases the rpc
performance by about 10 % on servers with large number of cores.

(tcp_rr workload with 10,000 flows and 112 threads reach 9 Mpps
 instead of 8 Mpps)

This also increases single bulk flow performance on 40Gbit+ links,
since in this case there are often two cpus working in tandem :

 - CPU handling the NIC rx interrupts, feeding the receive queue,
  and (after this patch) freeing the skbs that were consumed.

 - CPU in recvmsg() system call, essentially 100 % busy copying out
  data to user space.

Having at most one skb in a per-socket cache has very little risk
of memory exhaustion, and since it is protected by socket lock,
its management is essentially free.

Note that if rps/rfs is used, we do not enable this feature, because
there is high chance that the same cpu is handling both the recvmsg()
system call and the TCP rx path, but that another cpu did the skb
allocations in the device driver right before the RPS/RFS logic.

To properly handle this case, it seems we would need to record
on which cpu skb was allocated, and use a different channel
to give skbs back to this cpu.

Commit 121d57af308d ("gso: validate gso_type in GSO handlers") added
gso_type validation to existing gso_segment callback functions, to
filter out illegal and potentially dangerous SKB_GSO_DODGY packets.

Convert tunnels that now call inet_gso_segment and ipv6_gso_segment
directly to have their own callbacks and extend validation to these.

<title>net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO transport layer</title>

This avoids an indirect call in the receive path for TCP and UDP
packets. TCP takes precedence on UDP, so that we have a single
additional conditional in the common case.

When IPV6 is build as module, all gro symbols except UDPv6 are
builtin, while the latter belong to the ipv6 module, so we
need some special care.

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - adapted to INDIRECT_CALL_ changes
v2 -&gt; v3:
 - fix build issue with CONFIG_IPV6=m
