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.

A cpu executing the network receive path sheds packets when its input
queue grows to netdev_max_backlog. A single high rate flow (such as a
spoofed source DoS) can exceed a single cpu processing rate and will
degrade throughput of other flows hashed onto the same cpu.
This patch adds a more fine grained hashtable. If the netdev backlog
is above a threshold, IRQ cpus track the ratio of total traffic of
each flow (using 4096 buckets, configurable). The ratio is measured
by counting the number of packets per flow over the last 256 packets
from the source cpu. Any flow that occupies a large fraction of this
(set at 50%) will see packet drop while above the threshold.
Tested:
Setup is a muli-threaded UDP echo server with network rx IRQ on cpu0,
kernel receive (RPS) on cpu0 and application threads on cpus 2--7
each handling 20k req/s. Throughput halves when hit with a 400 kpps
antagonist storm. With this patch applied, antagonist overload is
dropped and the server processes its complete load.
The patch is effective when kernel receive processing is the
bottleneck. The above RPS scenario is a extreme, but the same is
reached with RFS and sufficient kernel processing (iptables, packet
socket tap, ..).

In some situations, we need to disable TSO on bonding slaves.
bonding device automatically unset TSO in bond_fix_features(), and
performance is not good because :
1) We consume more cpu cycles.
2) GSO segmentation has some bugs leading to out of order TCP packets
if this segmentation is done before virtual device. This particular
problem will be addressed in a separate patch.
This patch allows TSO being set/unset on the bonding master,
so that GSO segmentation is done after bonding layer.

The current implementation of dev_uc_sync/unsync() assumes that there is
a strict 1-to-1 relationship between the source and destination of the sync.
In other words, once an address has been synced to a destination device, it
will not be synced to any other device through the sync API.
However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower
devices and need to sync addresses to all of them. The current
API falls short there.
This patch introduces a new dev_uc_sync_multiple() api that can be called
in the above circumstances and allows sync to work for every invocation.

This patch allows LRO aggregation on bonded devices that contain an
NX3031 device. It also adds a for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu(bond, slave)
macro which executes for each slave that has bond as master.
V3: After testing and discussing this with Rajesh, I decided to keep the
vlan ip cache and just rename it to ip_cache since it will store bond
ip addresses too. A new master flag has been added to the ip cache to
denote that the address has been added because of a master device.
I've taken care of the enslave/release cases by checking for various
combinations of events and flags (e.g. netxen has a master, it's a
bond master and it's not marked as a slave means it is being enslaved
and is dev_open()ed in bond_enslave).
I've changed netxen_free_ip_list() to have a "master" parameter which
causes all IP addresses marked as master to be deleted (used when a
netxen is being released). I've made the patch use the new upper
device API as well. The following cases were tested:
- bond -> netxen
- vlan -> netxen
- vlan -> bond -> netxen
V2: Remove local ip caching, retrieve addresses dynamically and
restore them if necessary.

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).
For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.
For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.
Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.
napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.
Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

This patch changes three methods to be static and removes their
EXPORT_SYMBOLs in core/dev.c and their external declaration in
netdevice.h. The methods, dev_gro_receive(), napi_frags_finish() and
napi_skb_finish(), which are in the GRO rx path, are not used
outside core/dev.c.

Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which
will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface
name, have it return the name directly.
This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions
the argument being an interface name.
If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero
to indicate there is no interface name present.
Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone
changing the device name via dev_change_name().
v2: Added seqlock protection while copying device name.
v3: Fixed word wrap in patch.
