Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Highlights:
1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.
2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
Starovoitov.
3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.
4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
of incoming TCP/UDP connections. The muxing can be done using a
BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek.
5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message
boundaries. From Tom Herbert.
6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.
7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like
traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
well.
8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.
9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
ixgbe, from John Fastabend.
10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
from Kan Liang.
11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
From David Decotigny.
12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
(ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko.
13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.
14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet
the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
of that in various ways. From Edward Cree"

The device should compute the 16-bit ones-complement + checksum (i.e. the 'IP-style' checksum) from csum_start to the end of the + packet, and fill in the result at (csum_start + csum_offset). +Because csum_offset cannot be negative, this ensures that the previous + value of the checksum field is included in the checksum computation, thus + it can be used to supply any needed corrections to the checksum (such as + the sum of the pseudo-header for UDP or TCP). +This interface only allows a single checksum to be offloaded. Where + encapsulation is used, the packet may have multiple checksum fields in + different header layers, and the rest will have to be handled by another + mechanism such as LCO or RCO. +No offloading of the IP header checksum is performed; it is always done in + software. This is OK because when we build the IP header, we obviously + have it in cache, so summing it isn't expensive. It's also rather short. +The requirements for GSO are more complicated, because when segmenting an + encapsulated packet both the inner and outer checksums may need to be + edited or recomputed for each resulting segment. See the skbuff.h comment + (section 'E') for more details. + +A driver declares its offload capabilities in netdev->hw_features; see + Documentation/networking/netdev-features for more. Note that a device + which only advertises NETIF_F_IP[V6]_CSUM must still obey the csum_start + and csum_offset given in the SKB; if it tries to deduce these itself in + hardware (as some NICs do) the driver should check that the values in the + SKB match those which the hardware will deduce, and if not, fall back to + checksumming in software instead (with skb_checksum_help or one of the + skb_csum_off_chk* functions as mentioned in include/linux/skbuff.h). This + is a pain, but that's what you get when hardware tries to be clever. + +The stack should, for the most part, assume that checksum offload is + supported by the underlying device. The only place that should check is + validate_xmit_skb(), and the functions it calls directly or indirectly. + That function compares the offload features requested by the SKB (which + may include other offloads besides TX Checksum Offload) and, if they are + not supported or enabled on the device (determined by netdev->features), + performs the corresponding offload in software. In the case of TX + Checksum Offload, that means calling skb_checksum_help(skb). + + +LCO: Local Checksum Offload +=========================== + +LCO is a technique for efficiently computing the outer checksum of an + encapsulated datagram when the inner checksum is due to be offloaded. +The ones-complement sum of a correctly checksummed TCP or UDP packet is + equal to the sum of the pseudo header, because everything else gets + 'cancelled out' by the checksum field. This is because the sum was + complemented before being written to the checksum field. +More generally, this holds in any case where the 'IP-style' ones complement + checksum is used, and thus any checksum that TX Checksum Offload supports. +That is, if we have set up TX Checksum Offload with a start/offset pair, we + know that _after the device has filled in that checksum_, the ones + complement sum from csum_start to the end of the packet will be equal to + _whatever value we put in the checksum field beforehand_. This allows us + to compute the outer checksum without looking at the payload: we simply + stop summing when we get to csum_start, then add the 16-bit word at + (csum_start + csum_offset). +Then, when the true inner checksum is filled in (either by hardware or by + skb_checksum_help()), the outer checksum will become correct by virtue of + the arithmetic. + +LCO is performed by the stack when constructing an outer UDP header for an + encapsulation such as VXLAN or GENEVE, in udp_set_csum(). Similarly for + the IPv6 equivalents, in udp6_set_csum(). +It is also performed when constructing an IPv4 GRE header, in + net/ipv4/ip_gre.c:build_header(). It is *not* currently performed when + constructing an IPv6 GRE header; the GRE checksum is computed over the + whole packet in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c:ip6gre_xmit2(), but it should be + possible to use LCO here as IPv6 GRE still uses an IP-style checksum. +All of the LCO implementations use a helper function lco_csum(), in + include/linux/skbuff.h. + +LCO can safely be used for nested encapsulations; in this case, the outer + encapsulation layer will sum over both its own header and the 'middle' + header. This does mean that the 'middle' header will get summed multiple + times, but there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid that without incurring + bigger costs (e.g. in SKB bloat). + + +RCO: Remote Checksum Offload +============================ + +RCO is a technique for eliding the inner checksum of an encapsulated + datagram, allowing the outer checksum to be offloaded. It does, however, + involve a change to the encapsulation protocols, which the receiver must + also support. For this reason, it is disabled by default. +RCO is detailed in the following Internet-Drafts: +https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-00 +https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-vxlan-rco-00 +In Linux, RCO is implemented individually in each encapsulation protocol, + and most tunnel types have flags controlling its use.

All the KCM sockets +bound to a multiplexor are considered to have equivalent function, and I/O +operations in different sockets may be done in parallel without the need for +synchronization between threads in userspace. + +Multiplexor +----------- + +The multiplexor provides the message steering. In the transmit path, messages +written on a KCM socket are sent atomically on an appropriate TCP socket. +Similarly, in the receive path, messages are constructed on each TCP socket +(Psock) and complete messages are steered to a KCM socket. + +TCP sockets & Psocks +-------------------- + +TCP sockets may be bound to a KCM multiplexor. A Psock structure is allocated +for each bound TCP socket, this structure holds the state for constructing +messages on receive as well as other connection specific information for KCM. + +Connected mode semantics +------------------------ + +Each multiplexor assumes that all attached TCP connections are to the same +destination and can use the different connections for load balancing when +transmitting. The normal send and recv calls (include sendmmsg and recvmmsg) +can be used to send and receive messages from the KCM socket. + +Socket types +------------ + +KCM supports SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET socket types. + +Message delineation +------------------- + +Messages are sent over a TCP stream with some application protocol message +format that typically includes a header which frames the messages. The length +of a received message can be deduced from the application protocol header +(often just a simple length field). + +A TCP stream must be parsed to determine message boundaries. Berkeley Packet +Filter (BPF) is used for this. When attaching a TCP socket to a multiplexor a +BPF program must be specified. The program is called at the start of receiving +a new message and is given an skbuff that contains the bytes received so far. +It parses the message header and returns the length of the message. Given this +information, KCM will construct the message of the stated length and deliver it +to a KCM socket. + +TCP socket management +--------------------- + +When a TCP socket is attached to a KCM multiplexor data ready (POLLIN) and +write space available (POLLOUT) events are handled by the multiplexor. If there +is a state change (disconnection) or other error on a TCP socket, an error is +posted on the TCP socket so that a POLLERR event happens and KCM discontinues +using the socket. When the application gets the error notification for a +TCP socket, it should unattach the socket from KCM and then handle the error +condition (the typical response is to close the socket and create a new +connection if necessary). + +KCM limits the maximum receive message size to be the size of the receive +socket buffer on the attached TCP socket (the socket buffer size can be set by +SO_RCVBUF). If the length of a new message reported by the BPF program is +greater than this limit a corresponding error (EMSGSIZE) is posted on the TCP +socket. The BPF program may also enforce a maximum messages size and report an +error when it is exceeded. + +A timeout may be set for assembling messages on a receive socket. The timeout +value is taken from the receive timeout of the attached TCP socket (this is set +by SO_RCVTIMEO). If the timer expires before assembly is complete an error +(ETIMEDOUT) is posted on the socket. + +User interface +============== + +Creating a multiplexor +---------------------- + +A new multiplexor and initial KCM socket is created by a socket call: + + socket(AF_KCM, type, protocol) + + - type is either SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET + - protocol is KCMPROTO_CONNECTED + +Cloning KCM sockets +------------------- + +After the first KCM socket is created using the socket call as described +above, additional sockets for the multiplexor can be created by cloning +a KCM socket. This is accomplished by an ioctl on a KCM socket: + + /* From linux/kcm.h */ + struct kcm_clone { + int fd; + }; + + struct kcm_clone info; + + memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info)); + + err = ioctl(kcmfd, SIOCKCMCLONE, &info); + + if (!err) + newkcmfd = info.fd; + +Attach transport sockets +------------------------ + +Attaching of transport sockets to a multiplexor is performed by calling an +ioctl on a KCM socket for the multiplexor. e.g.: + + /* From linux/kcm.h */ + struct kcm_attach { + int fd; + int bpf_fd; + }; + + struct kcm_attach info; + + memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info)); + + info.fd = tcpfd; + info.bpf_fd = bpf_prog_fd; + + ioctl(kcmfd, SIOCKCMATTACH, &info); + +The kcm_attach structure contains: + fd: file descriptor for TCP socket being attached + bpf_prog_fd: file descriptor for compiled BPF program downloaded + +Unattach transport sockets +-------------------------- + +Unattaching a transport socket from a multiplexor is straightforward. An +"unattach" ioctl is done with the kcm_unattach structure as the argument: + + /* From linux/kcm.h */ + struct kcm_unattach { + int fd; + }; + + struct kcm_unattach info; + + memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info)); + + info.fd = cfd; + + ioctl(fd, SIOCKCMUNATTACH, &info); + +Disabling receive on KCM socket +------------------------------- + +A setsockopt is used to disable or enable receiving on a KCM socket. +When receive is disabled, any pending messages in the socket's +receive buffer are moved to other sockets. This feature is useful +if an application thread knows that it will be doing a lot of +work on a request and won't be able to service new messages for a +while. Example use: + + int val = 1; + + setsockopt(kcmfd, SOL_KCM, KCM_RECV_DISABLE, &val, sizeof(val)) + +BFP programs for message delineation +------------------------------------ + +BPF programs can be compiled using the BPF LLVM backend. For exmple, +the BPF program for parsing Thrift is: + + #include "bpf.h" /* for __sk_buff */ + #include "bpf_helpers.h" /* for load_word intrinsic */ + + SEC("socket_kcm") + int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) + { + return load_word(skb, 0) + 4; + } + + char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; + +Use in applications +=================== + +KCM accelerates application layer protocols. Specifically, it allows +applications to use a message based interface for sending and receiving +messages. The kernel provides necessary assurances that messages are sent +and received atomically. This relieves much of the burden applications have +in mapping a message based protocol onto the TCP stream. KCM also make +application layer messages a unit of work in the kernel for the purposes of +steerng and scheduling, which in turn allows a simpler networking model in +multithreaded applications. + +Configurations +-------------- + +In an Nx1 configuration, KCM logically provides multiple socket handles +to the same TCP connection. This allows parallelism between in I/O +operations on the TCP socket (for instance copyin and copyout of data is +parallelized). In an application, a KCM socket can be opened for each +processing thread and inserted into the epoll (similar to how SO_REUSEPORT +is used to allow multiple listener sockets on the same port). + +In a MxN configuration, multiple connections are established to the +same destination. These are used for simple load balancing. + +Message batching +---------------- + +The primary purpose of KCM is load balancing between KCM sockets and hence +threads in a nominal use case. Perfect load balancing, that is steering +each received message to a different KCM socket or steering each sent +message to a different TCP socket, can negatively impact performance +since this doesn't allow for affinities to be established. Balancing +based on groups, or batches of messages, can be beneficial for performance. + +On transmit, there are three ways an application can batch (pipeline) +messages on a KCM socket. + 1) Send multiple messages in a single sendmmsg. + 2) Send a group of messages each with a sendmsg call, where all messages + except the last have MSG_BATCH in the flags of sendmsg call. + 3) Create "super message" composed of multiple messages and send this + with a single sendmsg. + +On receive, the KCM module attempts to queue messages received on the +same KCM socket during each TCP ready callback. The targeted KCM socket +changes at each receive ready callback on the KCM socket. The application +does not need to configure this. + +Error handling +-------------- + +An application should include a thread to monitor errors raised on +the TCP connection. Normally, this will be done by placing each +TCP socket attached to a KCM multiplexor in epoll set for POLLERR +event. If an error occurs on an attached TCP socket, KCM sets an EPIPE +on the socket thus waking up the application thread. When the application +sees the error (which may just be a disconnect) it should unattach the +socket from KCM and then close it. It is assumed that once an error is +posted on the TCP socket the data stream is unrecoverable (i.e. an error +may have occurred in in the middle of receiving a messssge). + +TCP connection monitoring +------------------------- + +In KCM there is no means to correlate a message to the TCP socket that +was used to send or receive the message (except in the case there is +only one attached TCP socket). However, the application does retain +an open file descriptor to the socket so it will be able to get statistics +from the socket which can be used in detecting issues (such as high +retransmissions on the socket). diff --git a/Documentation/networking/mac80211-injection.txt b/Documentation/networking/mac80211-injection.txt index 3a930072b161..ec8f934c2eb2 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/mac80211-injection.txt +++ b/Documentation/networking/mac80211-injection.txt @@ -28,6 +28,23 @@ radiotap headers and used to control injection: IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_TX_NOACK: frame should be sent without waiting for an ACK even if it is a unicast frame + * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE + + legacy rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control) + + * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS + + HT rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control). + Also some flags are parsed + + IEEE80211_TX_RC_SHORT_GI: use short guard interval + IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send in HT40 mode + + * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES + + number of retries when either IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE or + IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS was used + The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/netlink_mmap.txt b/Documentation/networking/netlink_mmap.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 54f10478e8e3..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/networking/netlink_mmap.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,332 +0,0 @@ -This file documents how to use memory mapped I/O with netlink. - -Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> - -Overview --------- - -Memory mapped netlink I/O can be used to increase throughput and decrease -overhead of unicast receive and transmit operations.
