fdbf5b097b Revert "sit: Add gro callbacks to sit_offload"
This patch reverts 19424e052f ("sit:
Add gro callbacks to sit_offload") because it generates packets
that cannot be handled even by our own GSO.

53b24b8f94 ipv6: coding style: comparison for inequality with NULL
The ipv6 code uses a mixture of coding styles. In some instances check for NULL
pointer is done as x != NULL and sometimes as x. x is preferred according to
checkpatch and this patch makes the code consistent by adopting the latter
form.

No changes detected by objdiff.

b6fef4c6b8 ipv6: Do not treat a GSO_TCPV4 request from UDP tunnel over IPv6 as invalid
This patch adds SKB_GSO_TCPV4 to the list of supported GSO types handled by
the IPv6 GSO offloads.  Without this change VXLAN tunnels running over IPv6
do not currently handle IPv4 TCP TSO requests correctly and end up handing
the non-segmented frame off to the device.

Below is the before and after for a simple netperf TCP_STREAM test between
two endpoints tunneling IPv4 over a VXLAN tunnel running on IPv6 on top of
a 1Gb/s network adapter.

e585f23636 udp: Changes to udp_offload to support remote checksum offload
Add a new GSO type, SKB_GSO_TUNNEL_REMCSUM, which indicates remote
checksum offload being done (in this case inner checksum must not
be offloaded to the NIC).

Added logic in __skb_udp_tunnel_segment to handle remote checksum
offload case.

1e16aa3ddf net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlers
skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
available to the output path.

A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.

Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.

This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work
when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.

53e5039896 net: Remove gso_send_check as an offload callback
The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and
UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo
header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related
gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed.

03d56daafe ipv6: Clear flush_id to make GRO work
In TCP gro we check flush_id which is derived from the IP identifier.
In IPv4 gro path the flush_id is set with the expectation that every
matched packet increments IP identifier. In IPv6, the flush_id is
never set and thus is uinitialized. What's worse is that in IPv6
over IPv4 encapsulation, the IP identifier is taken from the outer
header which is currently not incremented on every packet for Linux
stack, so GRO in this case never matches packets (identifier is
not increasing).

This patch clears flush_id for every time for a matched packet in
IPv6 gro_receive. We need to do this each time to overwrite the
setting that would be done in IPv4 gro_receive per the outer
header in IPv6 over Ipv4 encapsulation.

4de462ab63 ipv6: gro: fix CHECKSUM_COMPLETE support
When GRE support was added in linux-3.14, CHECKSUM_COMPLETE handling
broke on GRE+IPv6 because we did not update/use the appropriate csum :

GRO layer is supposed to use/update NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum instead of
skb->csum

Tested using a GRE tunnel and IPv6 traffic. GRO aggregation now happens
at the first level (ethernet device) instead of being done in gre
tunnel. Native IPv6+TCP is still properly aggregated.

91a48a2e85 ipv4: ipv6: better estimate tunnel header cut for correct ufo handling
Currently the UFO fragmentation process does not correctly handle inner
UDP frames.

(The following tcpdumps are captured on the parent interface with ufo
disabled while tunnel has ufo enabled, 2000 bytes payload, mtu 1280,
both sit device):

IPv6:
16:39:10.031613 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3208, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPv6 (41), length 1300)
    192.168.122.151 > 1.1.1.1: IP6 (hlim 64, next-header Fragment (44) payload length: 1240) 2001::1 > 2001::8: frag (0x00000001:0|1232) 44883 > distinct: UDP, length 2000
16:39:10.031709 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3209, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPv6 (41), length 844)
    192.168.122.151 > 1.1.1.1: IP6 (hlim 64, next-header Fragment (44) payload length: 784) 2001::1 > 2001::8: frag (0x00000001:0|776) 58979 > 46366: UDP, length 5471

We can see that fragmentation header offset is not correctly updated.
(fragmentation id handling is corrected by 916e4cf46d ("ipv6: reuse
ip6_frag_id from ip6_ufo_append_data")).

IPv4:
16:39:57.737761 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3209, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPIP (4), length 1296)
    192.168.122.151 > 1.1.1.1: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 57034, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 1276)
    192.168.99.1.35961 > 192.168.99.2.distinct: UDP, length 2000
16:39:57.738028 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 3210, offset 0, flags [DF], proto IPIP (4), length 792)
    192.168.122.151 > 1.1.1.1: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 57035, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 772)
    192.168.99.1.13531 > 192.168.99.2.20653: UDP, length 51109

In this case fragmentation id is incremented and offset is not updated.

First, I aligned inet_gso_segment and ipv6_gso_segment:
* align naming of flags
* ipv6_gso_segment: setting skb->encapsulation is unnecessary, as we
  always ensure that the state of this flag is left untouched when
  returning from upper gso segmenation function
* ipv6_gso_segment: move skb_reset_inner_headers below updating the
  fragmentation header data, we don't care for updating fragmentation
  header data
* remove currently unneeded comment indicating skb->encapsulation might
  get changed by upper gso_segment callback (gre and udp-tunnel reset
  encapsulation after segmentation on each fragment)

If we encounter an IPIP or SIT gso skb we now check for the protocol ==
IPPROTO_UDP and that we at least have already traversed another ip(6)
protocol header.

The reason why we have to special case GSO_IPIP and GSO_SIT is that
we reset skb->encapsulation to 0 while skb_mac_gso_segment the inner
protocol of GSO_UDP_TUNNEL or GSO_GRE packets.

bf5a755f5e net-gre-gro: Add GRE support to the GRO stack
This patch built on top of Commit 299603e837
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.

The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.

Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.

The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.

Note that commit 60769a5dcd "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.

I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.

All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)

An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.

The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).

1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 9.16Gbps
CPU utilization: 19%

1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 5.9Gbps
CPU utilization: 15%

1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps
CPU utilization: 12-13%

1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps
CPU utilization: 10%

The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells)

2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled
thruput: 8.53Gbps
CPU utilization: 9%

2.1.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled
thruput: 8.97Gbps
CPU utilization: 7-8%

2.1.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled
thruput: 8.83Gbps
CPU utilization: 5-6%

2.1.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled
thruput: 8.98Gbps
CPU utilization: 5%

2.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro off

2.2.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled
thruput: 5.93Gbps
CPU utilization: 9%

2.2.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled
thruput: 5.62Gbps
CPU utilization: 8%

2.2.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled
thruput: 7.69Gbps
CPU utilization: 8%

2.2.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled
thruput: 8.96Gbps
CPU utilization: 5-6%

299603e837 net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support
This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header"
and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow
an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the
encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP
tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later.

With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on
skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g.,
skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the
the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for
a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new
encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows
(e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a
different hdr length.

Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and
will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at
most one "transport layer" in the encap chain.

d949d826c0 ipv6: Add generic UDP Tunnel segmentation
Similar to commit 7313626745
(tunneling: Add generic Tunnel segmentation)

This patch adds generic tunneling offloading support for
IPv6-UDP based tunnels.

This can be used by tunneling protocols like VXLAN.

0d89d2035f MPLS: Add limited GSO support
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.

MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

7313626745 tunneling: Add generic Tunnel segmentation.
Adds generic tunneling offloading support for IPv4-UDP based
tunnels.
GSO type is added to request this offload for a skb.
netdev feature NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL is added for hardware offloaded
udp-tunnel support. Currently no device supports this feature,
software offload is used.

This can be used by tunneling protocols like VXLAN.

ec5f061564 net: Kill link between CSUM and SG features.
Earlier SG was unset if CSUM was not available for given device to
force skb copy to avoid sending inconsistent csum.
Commit c9af6db4c1 (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
added explicit flag to force copy to fix this issue.  Therefore
there is no need to link SG and CSUM, following patch kills this
link between there two features.

This patch is also required following patch in series.

68c3316311 v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE
Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

c9af6db4c1 net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.
Patch cef401de7b (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.

Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.

tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

cef401de7b net: fix possible wrong checksum generation
Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.

He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().

This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.

Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.
