net: gro: do not keep too many GRO packets in napi->rx_list

2021-02-06T03:28:01Z

Commit c80794323e82 ("net: Fix packet reordering caused by GRO and listified RX cooperation") had the unfortunate effect of adding latencies in common workloads. Before the patch, GRO packets were immediately passed to upper stacks. After the patch, we can accumulate quite a lot of GRO packets (depdending on NAPI budget). My fix is counting in napi->rx_count number of segments instead of number of logical packets.

net: Disable NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RX when RXCSUM is disabled

2021-01-19T23:58:05Z

With NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RX packets are decrypted in HW. This cannot be logically done when RXCSUM offload is off.

net: Allow NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX if IP_CSUM && IPV6_CSUM

2021-01-14T18:56:13Z

Cited patch below blocked the TLS TX device offload unless HW_CSUM is set. This broke devices that use IP_CSUM && IP6_CSUM. Here we fix it. Note that the single HW_TLS_TX feature flag indicates support for both IPv4/6, hence it should still be disabled in case only one of (IP_CSUM | IPV6_CSUM) is set.

net: make sure devices go through netdev_wait_all_refs

2021-01-09T03:27:41Z

If register_netdevice() fails at the very last stage - the notifier call - some subsystems may have already seen it and grabbed a reference. struct net_device can't be freed right away without calling netdev_wait_all_refs(). Now that we have a clean interface in form of dev->needs_free_netdev and lenient free_netdev() we can undo what commit 93ee31f14f6f ("[NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.") has done and complete the unregistration path by bringing the net_set_todo() call back. After registration fails user is still expected to explicitly free the net_device, so make sure ->needs_free_netdev is cleared, otherwise rolling back the registration will cause the old double free for callers who release rtnl_lock before the free. This also solves the problem of priv_destructor not being called on notifier error. net_set_todo() will be moved back into unregister_netdevice_queue() in a follow up.

net: make free_netdev() more lenient with unregistering devices

2021-01-09T03:27:41Z

There are two flavors of handling netdev registration: - ones called without holding rtnl_lock: register_netdev() and unregister_netdev(); and - those called with rtnl_lock held: register_netdevice() and unregister_netdevice(). While the semantics of the former are pretty clear, the same can't be said about the latter. The netdev_todo mechanism is utilized to perform some of the device unregistering tasks and it hooks into rtnl_unlock() so the locked variants can't actually finish the work. In general free_netdev() does not mix well with locked calls. Most drivers operating under rtnl_lock set dev->needs_free_netdev to true and expect core to make the free_netdev() call some time later. The part where this becomes most problematic is error paths. There is no way to unwind the state cleanly after a call to register_netdevice(), since unreg can't be performed fully without dropping locks. Make free_netdev() more lenient, and defer the freeing if device is being unregistered. This allows error paths to simply call free_netdev() both after register_netdevice() failed, and after a call to unregister_netdevice() but before dropping rtnl_lock. Simplify the error paths which are currently doing gymnastics around free_netdev() handling. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: core: introduce __netdev_notify_peers

2020-12-16T19:43:25Z

There are some use cases for netdev_notify_peers in the context when rtnl lock is already held. Introduce lockless version of netdev_notify_peers call to save the extra code to call call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS, dev); call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev); After that, convert netdev_notify_peers to call the new helper.
