net: Infrastructure for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checsum offload

2015-02-11T23:12:12Z

This patch adds infrastructure so that remote checksum offload can set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL instead of calling csum_partial and writing the modfied checksum field. Add skb_remcsum_adjust_partial function to set an skb for using CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with remote checksum offload. Changed skb_remcsum_process and skb_gro_remcsum_process to take a boolean argument to indicate if checksum partial can be set or the checksum needs to be modified using the normal algorithm.

net: Use more bit fields in napi_gro_cb

2015-02-11T23:12:11Z

This patch moves the free and same_flow fields to be bit fields (2 and 1 bit sized respectively). This frees up some space for u16's. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Clarify meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for receive path

2015-02-11T23:12:10Z

The current meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for validating checksums is that _all_ checksums in the packet are considered valid. However, in the manner that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set only the checksum at csum_start+csum_offset and any preceding checksums may be considered valid. If there are checksums in the packet after csum_offset it is possible they have not been verfied. This patch changes CHECKSUM_PARTIAL logic in skb_csum_unnecessary and __skb_gro_checksum_validate_needed to only considered checksums referring to csum_start and any preceding checksums (with starting offset before csum_start) to be verified.

net: Fix remcsum in GRO path to not change packet

2015-02-11T23:12:09Z

Remote checksum offload processing is currently the same for both the GRO and non-GRO path. When the remote checksum offload option is encountered, the checksum field referred to is modified in the packet. So in the GRO case, the packet is modified in the GRO path and then the operation is skipped when the packet goes through the normal path based on skb->remcsum_offload. There is a problem in that the packet may be modified in the GRO path, but then forwarded off host still containing the remote checksum option. A remote host will again perform RCO but now the checksum verification will fail since GRO RCO already modified the checksum. To fix this, we ensure that GRO restores a packet to it's original state before returning. In this model, when GRO processes a remote checksum option it still changes the checksum per the algorithm but on return from lower layer processing the checksum is restored to its original value. In this patch we add define gro_remcsum structure which is passed to skb_gro_remcsum_process to save offset and delta for the checksum being changed. After lower layer processing, skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup is called to restore the checksum before returning from GRO. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net:rfs: adjust table size checking

2015-02-09T05:54:09Z

Make sure root user does not try something stupid. Also make sure mask field in struct rps_sock_flow_table does not share a cache line with the potentially often dirtied flow table.

net: rfs: add hash collision detection

2015-02-09T00:53:57Z

Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated. Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close(). (FIN , ACK packets, ...) This patch extends the information stored into global hash table to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value. I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts. For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash. Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big enough. If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if it is enabled for the rxqueue). This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU. This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket close time, and this helps short lived flows performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S.

net/core: Add event for a change in slave state

2015-02-05T00:14:24Z

Add event which provides an indication on a change in the state of a bonding slave. The event handler should cast the pointer to the appropriate type (struct netdev_bonding_info) in order to get the full info about the slave.

net: add skb functions to process remote checksum offload

2015-02-04T21:54:07Z

This patch adds skb_remcsum_process and skb_gro_remcsum_process to perform the appropriate adjustments to the skb when receiving remote checksum offload. Updated vxlan and gue to use these functions. Tested: Ran TCP_RR and TCP_STREAM netperf for VXLAN and GUE, did not see any change in performance. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dev: add per net_device packet type chains

2015-01-29T22:41:39Z

When many pf_packet listeners are created on a lot of interfaces the current implementation using global packet type lists scales poorly. This patch adds per net_device packet type lists to fix this problem. The patch was originally written by Eric Biederman for linux-2.6.29. Tested on linux-3.16. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
