2013-07-03T21:55:13Z

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c net/ipv4/gre.c The GRE conflict is between a bug fix (kfree_skb --> kfree_skb_list) and the splitting of the gre.c code into seperate files. The FEC conflict was two sets of changes adding ethtool support code in an "!CONFIG_M5272" CPP protected block. Finally the sh_eth.c conflict was between one commit add bits set in the .eesr_err_check mask whilst another commit removed the .tx_error_check member and assignments. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dev: introduce skb_scrub_packet()

2013-06-28T05:29:05Z

The goal of this new function is to perform all needed cleanup before sending an skb into another netns. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

gre: fix a possible skb leak

2013-06-25T23:07:44Z

commit 68c331631143 ("v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE") added a possible skb leak, because it frees only the head of segment list, in case a skb_linearize() call fails. This patch adds a kfree_skb_list() helper to fix the bug. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Pravin B Shelar Cc: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove last caller of skb_tail_offset() and itself

2013-06-11T05:22:23Z

Similar to the following commits: commit 00f97da17a0c8d656d0c9 (netpoll: fix position of network header) commit 525cebedb32a87fa48584 (pktgen: Fix position of ip and udp header) using skb_tail_offset() seems not correct since the offset is based on head pointer. With the last caller removed, skb_tail_offset() can be killed finally. Cc: Thomas Graf Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add low latency socket poll

2013-06-11T04:22:35Z

Adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it. This method can be used by low latency applications to busy-poll Ethernet device queues directly from the socket code. sysctl_net_ll_poll controls how many microseconds to poll. Default is zero (disabled). Individual protocol support will be added by subsequent patches.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2013-06-05T23:37:30Z

Merge 'net' bug fixes into 'net-next' as we have patches that will build on top of them. This merge commit includes a change from Emil Goode (emilgoode@gmail.com) that fixes a warning that would have been introduced by this merge. Specifically it fixes the pingv6_ops method ipv6_chk_addr() to add a "const" to the "struct net_device *dev" argument and likewise update the dummy_ipv6_chk_addr() declaration.

udp6: Fix udp fragmentation for tunnel traffic.

2013-06-01T00:06:07Z

udp6 over GRE tunnel does not work after to GRE tso changes. GRE tso handler passes inner packet but keeps track of outer header start in SKB_GSO_CB(skb)->mac_offset. udp6 fragment need to take care of outer header, which start at the mac_offset, while adding fragment header. This bug is introduced by commit 68c3316311 (GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE). Reported-by: Dmitry Kravkov Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Tested-by: Dmitry Kravkov Signed-off-by: David S.

net: clean up skb headers code

2013-06-01T00:02:47Z

commit 1a37e412a0225fcba5587 (net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff) converts skb->*_header to u16, some #if NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET are now useless, and to be safe, we could just use "X = (typeof(X)) ~0U;" as suggested by David.

net, ipv4, ipv6: Correct assignment of skb->network_header to skb->tail

2013-05-29T06:49:07Z

This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now an offset. This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as an offset regardless of the value of NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET. It seems that skb->tail that this offset may be more than 64k and some care has been taken to treat such cases as an error. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

MPLS: Add limited GSO support

2013-05-28T05:50:59Z

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module.
