2013-05-01netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()Patrick McHardy
[ Upstream commit 124dff01afbdbff251f0385beca84ba1b9adda68 ] Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-04-05net: add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister()Eric Dumazet
[ Upstream commit 00cfec37484761a44a3b6f4675a54caa618210ae ] commit 35d48903e97819 (bonding: fix rx_handler locking) added a race in bonding driver, reported by Steven Rostedt who did a very good diagnosis : <quoting Steven> I'm currently debugging a crash in an old 3.0-rt kernel that one of our customers is seeing. The bug happens with a stress test that loads and unloads the bonding module in a loop (I don't know all the details as I'm not the one that is directly interacting with the customer). But the bug looks to be something that may still be present and possibly present in mainline too. It will just be much harder to trigger it in mainline. In -rt, interrupts are threads, and can schedule in and out just like any other thread. Note, mainline now supports interrupt threads so this may be easily reproducible in mainline as well. I don't have the ability to tell the customer to try mainline or other kernels, so my hands are somewhat tied to what I can do. But according to a core dump, I tracked down that the eth irq thread crashed in bond_handle_frame() here: slave = bond_slave_get_rcu(skb->dev); bond = slave->bond; <--- BUG the slave returned was NULL and accessing slave->bond caused a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the code that unregisters the handler: void netdev_rx_handler_unregister(struct net_device *dev) { ASSERT_RTNL(); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler, NULL); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler_data, NULL); } Which is basically: dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; And looking at __netif_receive_skb() we have: rx_handler = rcu_dereference(skb->dev->rx_handler); if (rx_handler) { if (pt_prev) { ret = deliver_skb(skb, pt_prev, orig_dev); pt_prev = NULL; } switch (rx_handler(&skb)) { My question to all of you is, what stops this interrupt from happening while the bonding module is unloading? What happens if the interrupt triggers and we have this: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- rx_handler = skb->dev->rx_handler netdev_rx_handler_unregister() { dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; rx_handler() bond_handle_frame() { slave = skb->dev->rx_handler; bond = slave->bond; <-- NULL pointer dereference!!! What protection am I missing in the bond release handler that would prevent the above from happening? </quoting Steven> We can fix bug this in two ways. First is adding a test in bond_handle_frame() and others to check if rx_handler_data is NULL. A second way is adding a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to make sure that a rcu protected reader has the guarantee to see a non NULL rx_handler_data. The second way is better as it avoids an extra test in fast path.

2012-10-13net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksumEd Cashin
[ Upstream commit c0d680e577ff171e7b37dbdb1b1bf5451e851f04 ] A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236bd4b140198fbcc550f085e8361fd73fa Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.

2012-10-13net: small bug on rxhash calculationChema Gonzalez
[ Upstream commit 6862234238e84648c305526af2edd98badcad1e0 ] In the current rxhash calculation function, while the sorting of the ports/addrs is coherent (you get the same rxhash for packets sharing the same 4-tuple, in both directions), ports and addrs are sorted independently. This implies packets from a connection between the same addresses but crossed ports hash to the same rxhash. For example, traffic between A=S:l and B=L:s is hashed (in both directions) from {L, S, {s, l}}. The same rxhash is obtained for packets between C=S:s and D=L:l. This patch ensures that you either swap both addrs and ports, or you swap none. Traffic between A and B, and traffic between C and D, get their rxhash from different sources ({L, S, {l, s}} for A<->B, and {L, S, {s, l}} for C<->D) The patch is co-written with Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Chema Gonzalez <chema@google.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-10-02net: Allow driver to limit number of GSO segments per skbBen Hutchings
[ Upstream commit 30b678d844af3305cda5953467005cebb5d7b687 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

2011-11-11rtnetlink: Add missing manual netlink notification in dev_change_net_namespacesEric W. Biederman
commit d2237d35748e7f448a9c2d9dc6a85ef637466e24 upstream. Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7 "rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved from one network namespace to another. Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces. Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

2011-06-11vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR checkJiri Pirko
Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header will not be properly put on the packet in the case of vlan header accelleration. As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean. Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof and look at the wrong field. Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats for a multicast packet. Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-06-07net: cpu offline cause napi stallHeiko Carstens
Frank Blaschka reported : <quote> During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus. Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device. Digging into the dump I found out following: napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped because the budget was reached. napi stays in the softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again. I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in, the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu. Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the poll_list is transfered to the new cpu. </quote> This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion : Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.

In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until dev_get_valid_name() is called.

2011-04-29ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned dataDavid Decotigny
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

2011-04-25bonding: move processing of recv handlers into handle_frame()Jiri Pirko
Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode. Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged thanks to vlan_untag() Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

2011-04-12net: Disable all TSO features when SG is disabledBen Hutchings
The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. However, the test in netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags. Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if scatter-gather is disabled. Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so user-space sees all TSO features as disabled. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-04-12net: vlan: make non-hw-accel rx path similar to hw-accelJiri Pirko
Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive. For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole __netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in __netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers) see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

2011-04-04net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmitTom Herbert
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

2011-03-30netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabledDaniel Lezcano
In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled, we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger than the expected value. This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled when we want to check the mtu size.
