2011-12-04tcp: take care of misalignmentsEric Dumazet
We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay aligned. Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER. Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting NET_IP_ALIGN to 0) This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-14net: introduce build_skb()Eric Dumazet
One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack. In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring. This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC. By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot of things happened between the allocation and final use. So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb, initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network stack. build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some drivers might add a hardware provided alignment) Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting incoming frame. data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), GFP_ATOMIC); ... skb = build_skb(data); if (!skb) { recycle_data(data); } else { skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN); ... } Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> CC: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> CC: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> CC: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@mojatatu.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Thomas Graf <tgraf@infradead.org> CC: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> CC: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-09net: add wireless TX status socket optionJohannes Berg
The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer. Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible. Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out the functions that add the control messages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-10-13net: more accurate skb truesizeEric Dumazet
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head. kmalloc() roundings are also ignored. Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to take it into account for better memory accounting. This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various assumptions into a single place. At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks. Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are aligned to cache lines, as before. Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a more accurate memory accounting.

2011-07-07skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffersShirley Ma
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb has gone). If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers, then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long. Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@...ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

2011-01-24GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbsMichal Schmidt
Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[]. Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb: ->data_len is not decreased at all. ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag. Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return -EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall. In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver decides to switch from the former to the latter. Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat: - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero - on machine1: echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages - See that nc has quit suddenly.

2011-01-12netfilter: fix compilation when conntrack is disabled but tproxy is enabledKOVACS Krisztian
The IPv6 tproxy patches split IPv6 defragmentation off of conntrack, but failed to update the #ifdef stanzas guarding the defragmentation related fields and code in skbuff and conntrack related code in nf_defrag_ipv6.c. This patch adds the required #ifdefs so that IPv6 tproxy can truly be used without connection tracking.

2010-10-16net: allocate skbs on local nodeEric Dumazet
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

2010-09-08gro: Re-fix different skb headroomsJarek Poplawski
The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part: "2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was. bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 fixes commit: 3d3be4333fdf6faa080947b331a6a19bce1a4f57 Reported-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> CC: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Tested-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-07skb: Add tracepoints to freeing skbKoki Sanagi
This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and add trace_kfree_skb before __kfree_skb in skb_free_datagram_locked and net_tx_action. Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check how long it takes to free transmitted packets. And using it, we can calculate how many packets driver had at that time. It is useful when a drop of transmitted packet is a problem. sshd-6828 [000] 112689.258154: consume_skb: skbaddr=f2d99bb8 Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David S.

2010-09-01gro: fix different skb headroomsEric Dumazet
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak). We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom. 1) fix skb_segment() skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev() 2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak. Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line needs: NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 Many thanks to Plamen Petrov, testing many debugging patches !
