net: fix creation adjacent device symlinks

2014-09-15T18:24:53Z

__netdev_adjacent_dev_insert may add adjust device of different net namespace, without proper check it leads to emergence of broken sysfs links from/to devices in another namespace. Fix: rewrite netdev_adjacent_is_neigh_list macro as a function, move net_eq check into netdev_adjacent_is_neigh_list.

net: fix checksum features handling in netif_skb_features()

2014-08-26T00:23:03Z

This is follow-up to da08143b8520 ("vlan: more careful checksum features handling") which introduced more careful feature intersection in vlan code, taking into account that HW_CSUM should be considered superset of IP_CSUM/IPV6_CSUM. The same is needed in netif_skb_features() in order to avoid offloading mismatch warning when vlan is created on top of a bond consisting of slaves supporting IP/IPv6 checksumming but not vlan Tx offloading.

net: prevent of emerging cross-namespace symlinks

2014-08-25T22:17:43Z

Code manipulating sysfs symlinks on adjacent net_devices(s) currently doesn't take into account that devices potentially belong to different namespaces. This patch trying to fix an issue as follows: - check for net_ns before creating / deleting symlink. for now only netdev_adjacent_rename_links and __netdev_adjacent_dev_remove are affected, afaics __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert implies both net_devs belong to the same namespace. - Drop all existing symlinks to / from all adj_devs before switching namespace and recreate them just after.

net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input.

2014-08-11T19:16:51Z

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support is enabled in the kernel. When VLAN is disabled, the function vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the packets. This seems to create an interesting interaction between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers. There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver. These drivers also seem to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan header already in the skb. When transmitting skbs that already have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a failure to establish TCP connections. The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a sender is a VM with a VLAN configued. The host VM is running on doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the host is tg3: 10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect -> 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0 10:12:44.505556 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27244, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 10.0.100.1.58545 > 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect -> 0x44ee), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0 This connection finally times out. I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have only tested this with TG3 driver. There are a lot of other drivers that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue. The patch attempt to fix this another way. It moves the vlan header stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the kernel network core. This way, even if vlan is not supported on a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such host will still work with VLANs enabled.

net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet scheduler

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: print a notification on device rename

2014-07-21T03:44:25Z

Currently it's done silently (from the kernel part), and thus it might be hard to track the renames from logs. Add a simple netdev_info() to notify the rename, but only in case the previous name was valid. CC: "David S.
