ipv6: gro: fix PV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto problem

2012-10-08T19:40:43Z

It seems IPV6_GRO_CB(skb)->proto can be destroyed in skb_gro_receive() if a new skb is allocated (to serve as an anchor for frag_list) We copy NAPI_GRO_CB() only (not the IPV6 specific part) in : *NAPI_GRO_CB(nskb) = *NAPI_GRO_CB(p); So we leave IPV6_GRO_CB(nskb)->proto to 0 (fresh skb allocation) instead of IPPROTO_TCP (6) ipv6_gro_complete() isnt able to call ops->gro_complete() [ tcp6_gro_complete() ] Fix this by moving proto in NAPI_GRO_CB() and getting rid of IPV6_GRO_CB Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.

net: gro: selective flush of packets

2012-10-08T18:51:51Z

Current GRO can hold packets in gro_list for almost unlimited time, in case napi->poll() handler consumes its budget over and over. In this case, napi_complete()/napi_gro_flush() are not called. Another problem is that gro_list is flushed in non friendly way : We scan the list and complete packets in the reverse order. (youngest packets first, oldest packets last) This defeats priorities that sender could have cooked. Since GRO currently only store TCP packets, we dont really notice the bug because of retransmits, but this behavior can add unexpected latencies, particularly on mice flows clamped by elephant flows. This patch makes sure no packet can stay more than 1 ms in queue, and only in stress situations. It also complete packets in the right order to minimize latencies.

net: gro: fix a potential crash in skb_gro_reset_offset

2012-10-07T18:49:17Z

Before accessing skb first fragment, better make sure there is one. This is probably not needed for old kernels, since an ethernet frame cannot contain only an ethernet header, but the recent GRO addition to tunnels makes this patch needed. Also skb_gro_reset_offset() can be static, it actually allows compiler to inline it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov. 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman. 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko. 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar. 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy. 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others. 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel Borkmann. 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common. From Eric Dumazet. 10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page allocator c) less waste of space. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet. 12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation. From Stephen Hemminger. 13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around. Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user namespace changes. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1012 commits) hyperv: Add buffer for extended info after the RNDIS response message. hyperv: Report actual status in receive completion packet hyperv: Remove extra allocated space for recv_pkt_list elements hyperv: Fix page buffer handling in rndis_filter_send_request() hyperv: Fix the missing return value in rndis_filter_set_packet_filter() hyperv: Fix the max_xfer_size in RNDIS initialization vxlan: put UDP socket in correct namespace vxlan: Depend on CONFIG_INET sfc: Fix the reported priorities of different filter types sfc: Remove EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_OVERRIDE_IP sfc: Fix loopback self-test with separate_tx_channels=1 sfc: Fix MCDI structure field lookup sfc: Add parentheses around use of bitfield macro arguments sfc: Fix null function pointer in efx_sriov_channel_type vxlan: virtual extensible lan igmp: export symbol ip_mc_leave_group netlink: add attributes to fdb interface tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

netpoll: call ->ndo_select_queue() in tx path

2012-09-19T21:19:09Z

In netpoll tx path, we miss the chance of calling ->ndo_select_queue(), thus could cause problems when bonding is involved. This patch makes dev_pick_tx() extern (and rename it to netdev_pick_tx()) to let netpoll call it in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(). Reported-by: Sylvain Munaut Cc: "David S.

netdev_printk/dynamic_netdev_dbg: Directly call printk_emit

2012-09-17T13:08:30Z

A lot of stack is used in recursive printks with %pV. Using multiple levels of %pV (a logging function with %pV that calls another logging function with %pV) can consume more stack than necessary. Avoid excessive stack use by not calling dev_printk from netdev_printk and dynamic_netdev_dbg. Duplicate the logic and form of dev_printk instead. Make __netdev_printk static. Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(__netdev_printk) Whitespace and brace style neatening. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: David S.
