net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check

2014-12-26T22:20:56Z

GSO isn't the only offload feature with restrictions that potentially can't be expressed with the current features mechanism. Checksum is another although it's a general issue that could in theory apply to anything. Even if it may be possible to implement these restrictions in other ways, it can result in duplicate code or inefficient per-packet behavior. This generalizes ndo_gso_check so that drivers can remove any features that don't make sense for a given packet, similar to netif_skb_features(). It also converts existing driver restrictions to the new format, completing the work that was done to support tunnel protocols since the issues apply to checksums as well. By actually removing features from the set that are used to do offloading, it solves another problem with the existing interface. In these cases, GSO would run with the original set of features and not do anything because it appears that segmentation is not required.

net: Add vxlan_gso_check() helper

2014-11-14T22:12:48Z

Most NICs that report NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL support VXLAN, and not other UDP-based encapsulation protocols where the format and size of the header differs. This patch implements a generic ndo_gso_check() for VXLAN which will only advertise GSO support when the skb looks like it contains VXLAN (or no UDP tunnelling at all).

vxlan: Call udp_flow_src_port

2014-07-08T04:14:21Z

In vxlan and OVS vport-vxlan call common function to get source port for a UDP tunnel. Removed vxlan_src_port since the functionality is now in udp_flow_src_port. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: Add support for UDP checksums (v4 sending, v6 zero csums)

2014-06-05T05:46:39Z

Added VXLAN link configuration for sending UDP checksums, and allowing TX and RX of UDP6 checksums. Also, call common iptunnel_handle_offloads and added GSO support for checksums. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: add x-netns support

2014-04-24T20:18:26Z

This patch allows to switch the netns when packet is encapsulated or decapsulated. The vxlan socket is openned into the i/o netns, ie into the netns where encapsulated packets are received. The socket lookup is done into this netns to find the corresponding vxlan tunnel. After decapsulation, the packet is injecting into the corresponding interface which may stand to another netns. When one of the two netns is removed, the tunnel is destroyed. Configuration example: ip netns add netns1 ip netns exec netns1 ip link set lo up ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan id 10 group 239.0.0.10 dev eth0 dstport 0 ip link set vxlan10 netns netns1 ip netns exec netns1 ip addr add 192.168.0.249/24 broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev vxlan10 ip netns exec netns1 ip link set vxlan10 up Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Add GRO support for vxlan traffic

2014-01-22T02:05:04Z

Add GRO handlers for vxlann, by using the UDP GRO infrastructure.

vxlan: Have the NIC drivers do less work for offloads

2013-10-29T09:39:13Z

This patch removes the burden from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to them. Signed-off-by: Joseph Gasparakis Tested-by: Kavindya Deegala Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

vxlan: Notify drivers for listening UDP port changes

2013-09-05T16:44:30Z

This patch adds two more ndo ops: ndo_add_rx_vxlan_port() and ndo_del_rx_vxlan_port(). Drivers can get notifications through the above functions about changes of the UDP listening port of VXLAN. Also, when physical ports come up, now they can call vxlan_get_rx_port() in order to obtain the port number(s) of the existing VXLAN interface in case they already up before them. This information about the listening UDP port would be used for VXLAN related offloads.
