net: Fix vlan_get_protocol for stacked vlan

2015-01-31T02:03:47Z

vlan_get_protocol() could not get network protocol if a skb has a 802.1ad vlan tag or multiple vlans, which caused incorrect checksum calculation in several drivers. Fix vlan_get_protocol() to retrieve network protocol instead of incorrect vlan protocol. As the logic is the same as skb_network_protocol(), create a common helper function __vlan_get_protocol() and call it from existing functions. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita Signed-off-by: David S.

bridge: dont send notification when skb->len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify

2015-01-29T06:21:31Z

Reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92081 This patch avoids calling rtnl_notify if the device ndo_bridge_getlink handler does not return any bytes in the skb. Alternately, the skb->len check can be moved inside rtnl_notify. For the bridge vlan case described in 92081, there is also a fix needed in bridge driver to generate a proper notification. Will fix that in subsequent patch. v2: rebase patch on net tree Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rps: fix cpu unplug

2015-01-16T06:02:42Z

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets into victim queue. A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu is offline. Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing, only make migration safer.

neighbour: fix base_reachable_time(_ms) not effective immediatly when changed

2015-01-14T05:28:00Z

When setting base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms on a specific interface through sysctl or netlink, the reachable_time value is not updated. This means that neighbour entries will continue to be updated using the old value until it is recomputed in neigh_period_work (which recomputes the value every 300*HZ). On systems with HZ equal to 1000 for instance, it means 5mins before the change is effective. This patch changes this behavior by recomputing reachable_time after each set on base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms. The new value will become effective the next time the neighbour's timer is triggered. Changes are made in two places: the netlink code for set and the sysctl handling code. For sysctl, I use a proc_handler. The ipv6 network code does provide its own handler but it already refreshes reachable_time correctly so it's not an issue. Any other user of neighbour which provide its own handlers must refresh reachable_time. Signed-off-by: Jean-Francois Remy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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/core: Handle csum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE VXLAN forwarding

2014-12-26T21:16:51Z

When using VXLAN tunnels and a sky2 device, I have experienced checksum failures of the following type: [ 4297.761899] eth0: hw csum failure [...] [ 4297.765223] Call Trace: [ 4297.765224] [] dump_stack+0x46/0x58 [ 4297.765235] [] netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x42/0x50 [ 4297.765238] [] ? skb_push+0x40/0x40 [ 4297.765240] [] __skb_checksum_complete+0xbc/0xd0 [ 4297.765243] [] tcp_v4_rcv+0x2e2/0x950 [ 4297.765246] [] ? ip_rcv_finish+0x360/0x360 These are reliably reproduced in a network topology of: container:eth0 == host(OVS VXLAN on VLAN) == bond0 == eth0 (sky2) -> switch When VXLAN encapsulated traffic is received from a similarly configured peer, the above warning is generated in the receive processing of the encapsulated packet. Note that the warning is associated with the container eth0. The skbs from sky2 have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and because the packet is an encapsulated Ethernet frame, the checksum generated by the hardware includes the inner protocol and Ethernet headers. The receive code is careful to update the skb->csum, except in __dev_forward_skb, as called by dev_forward_skb. __dev_forward_skb calls eth_type_trans, which in turn calls skb_pull_inline(skb, ETH_HLEN) to skip over the Ethernet header, but does not update skb->csum when doing so. This patch resolves the problem by adding a call to skb_postpull_rcsum to update the skb->csum after the call to eth_type_trans. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Reset secmark when scrubbing packet

2014-12-24T05:21:43Z

skb_scrub_packet() is called when a packet switches between a context such as between underlay and overlay, between namespaces, or between L3 subnets. While we already scrub the packet mark, connection tracking entry, and cached destination, the security mark/context is left intact. It seems wrong to inherit the security context of a packet when going from overlay to underlay or across forwarding paths. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Acked-by: Flavio Leitner Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Fix stacked vlan offload features computation

2014-12-24T05:08:33Z

When vlan tags are stacked, it is very likely that the outer tag is stored in skb->vlan_tci and skb->protocol shows the inner tag's vlan_proto. Currently netif_skb_features() first looks at skb->protocol even if there is the outer tag in vlan_tci, thus it incorrectly retrieves the protocol encapsulated by the inner vlan instead of the inner vlan protocol. This allows GSO packets to be passed to HW and they end up being corrupted. Fixes: 58e998c6d239 ("offloading: Force software GSO for multiple vlan tags.")
