ipv4: set transport header earlier

2013-07-16T19:59:28Z

commit 45f00f99d6e ("ipv4: tcp: clean up tcp_v4_early_demux()") added a performance regression for non GRO traffic, basically disabling IP early demux. IPv6 stack resets transport header in ip6_rcv() before calling IP early demux in ip6_rcv_finish(), while IPv4 does this only in ip_local_deliver_finish(), _after_ IP early demux. GRO traffic happened to enable IP early demux because transport header is also set in inet_gro_receive() Instead of reverting the faulty commit, we can make IPv4/IPv6 behave the same : transport_header should be set in ip_rcv() instead of ip_local_deliver_finish() ip_local_deliver_finish() can also use skb_network_header_len() which is faster than ip_hdrlen() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Neal Cardwell Cc: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Add MIB counters for checksum errors

2013-04-29T19:14:03Z

Add MIB counters for checksum errors in IP layer, and TCP/UDP/ICMP layers, to help diagnose problems. $ nstat -a | grep Csum IcmpInCsumErrors 72 0.0 TcpInCsumErrors 382 0.0 UdpInCsumErrors 463221 0.0 Icmp6InCsumErrors 75 0.0 Udp6InCsumErrors 173442 0.0 IpExtInCsumErrors 10884 0.0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv[4|6]: correct dropwatch false positive in local_deliver_finish

2013-03-01T20:56:29Z

I had a report recently of a user trying to use dropwatch to localise some frame loss, and they were getting false positives. Turned out they were using a user space SCTP stack that used raw sockets to grab frames. When we don't have a registered protocol for a given packet, we record it as a drop, even if a raw socket receieves the frame. We should only record the drop in the event a raw socket doesnt exist to receive the frames Tested by the reported successfully Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Reported-by: William Reich Tested-by: William Reich CC: "David S.

ipv4: Disallow non-namespace aware protocols to register.

2013-02-05T19:42:23Z

All in-tree ipv4 protocol implementations are now namespace aware. Therefore all the run-time checks are superfluous. Reject registry of any non-namespace aware ipv4 protocol. Eventually we'll remove prot->netns_ok and this registry time check as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: TCP early demux cleanup

2012-07-30T21:53:21Z

early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst)) Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around ->early_demux() are confusing and not needed : Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section. (__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.

2012-07-26T22:50:39Z

With the routing cache removal we lost the "noref" code paths on input, and this can kill some routing workloads. Reinstate the noref path when we hit a cached route in the FIB nexthops.

tcp: early_demux fixes

2012-07-24T20:54:15Z

1) Remove a non needed pskb_may_pull() in tcp_v4_early_demux() and fix a potential bug if skb->head was reallocated (iph & th pointers were not reloaded) TCP stack will pull/check headers anyway. 2) must reload iph in ip_rcv_finish() after early_demux() call since skb->head might have changed. 3) skb->dev->ifindex can be now replaced by skb->skb_iif Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: Kill ip_route_input_noref().

2012-07-20T20:30:59Z

The "noref" argument to ip_route_input_common() is now always ignored because we do not cache routes, and in that case we must always grab a reference to the resulting 'dst'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
