2018-10-04net/packet: fix packet drop as of virtio gsoJianfeng Tan1-0/+18
When we use raw socket as the vhost backend, a packet from virito with gso offloading information, cannot be sent out in later validaton at xmit path, as we did not set correct skb->protocol which is further used for looking up the gso function. To fix this, we set this field according to virito hdr information.

2018-06-07net: in virtio_net_hdr only add VLAN_HLEN to csum_start if payload holds vlanWillem de Bruijn1-7/+4
Tun, tap, virtio, packet and uml vector all use struct virtio_net_hdr to communicate packet metadata to userspace. For skbuffs with vlan, the first two return the packet as it may have existed on the wire, inserting the VLAN tag in the user buffer. Then virtio_net_hdr.csum_start needs to be adjusted by VLAN_HLEN bytes. Commit f09e2249c4f5 ("macvtap: restore vlan header on user read") added this feature to macvtap. Commit 3ce9b20f1971 ("macvtap: Fix csum_start when VLAN tags are present") then fixed up csum_start. Virtio, packet and uml do not insert the vlan header in the user buffer. When introducing virtio_net_hdr_from_skb to deduplicate filling in the virtio_net_hdr, the variant from macvtap which adds VLAN_HLEN was applied uniformly, breaking csum offset for packets with vlan on virtio and packet. Make insertion of VLAN_HLEN optional. Convert the callers to pass it when needed.

2017-11-24net: accept UFO datagrams from tuntap and packetWillem de Bruijn1-1/+4
Tuntap and similar devices can inject GSO packets. Accept type VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP, even though not generating UFO natively. Processes are expected to use feature negotiation such as TUNSETOFFLOAD to detect supported offload types and refrain from injecting other packets. This process breaks down with live migration: guest kernels do not renegotiate flags, so destination hosts need to expose all features that the source host does. Partially revert the UFO removal from 182e0b6b5846~1..d9d30adf5677. This patch introduces nearly(*) no new code to simplify verification. It brings back verbatim tuntap UFO negotiation, VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP insertion and software UFO segmentation. It does not reinstate protocol stack support, hardware offload (NETIF_F_UFO), SKB_GSO_UDP tunneling in SKB_GSO_SOFTWARE or reception of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP packets in tuntap. To support SKB_GSO_UDP reappearing in the stack, also reinstate logic in act_csum and openvswitch. Achieve equivalence with v4.13 HEAD by squashing in commit 939912216fa8 ("net: skb_needs_check() removes CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY check for tx.") and reverting commit 8d63bee643f1 ("net: avoid skb_warn_bad_offload false positives on UFO"). (*) To avoid having to bring back skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id, ipv6_proxy_select_ident is changed to return a __be32 and this is assigned directly to the frag_hdr. Also, SKB_GSO_UDP is inserted at the end of the enum to minimize code churn. Tested Booted a v4.13 guest kernel with QEMU. On a host kernel before this patch `ethtool -k eth0` shows UFO disabled. After the patch, it is enabled, same as on a v4.13 host kernel. A UFO packet sent from the guest appears on the tap device: host: nc -l -p -u 8000 & tcpdump -n -i tap0 guest: dd if=/dev/zero of=payload.txt bs=1 count=2000 nc -u 192.16.1.1 8000 < payload.txt Direct tap to tap transmission of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP succeeds, packets arriving fragmented: ./with_tap_pair.sh ./tap_send_ufo tap0 tap1 (from https://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/tree/master/tests) Changes v1 -> v2 - simplified set_offload change (review comment) - documented test procedure Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<CAF=yD-LuUeDuL9YWPJD9ykOZ0QCjNeznPDr6whqZ9NGMNF12Mw@mail.gmail.com> Fixes: fb652fdfe837 ("macvlan/macvtap: Remove NETIF_F_UFO advertisement.")

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

This patch part reverts fd2a0437dc33 and e858fae2b0b8 which introduced a subtle change in how the virtio_net flags are derived from the SKBs ip_summed field. With the above commits, the flags are set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID when ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thus treating it differently to ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE, which should be the same. Further, the virtio spec 1.0 / CS04 explicitly says that VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID must not be set by the driver.

2012-04-15virtio-net: send gratuitous packets when neededJason Wang1-0/+14
As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's better to ask guest to send gratuitous packets when needed. This patch implements VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature: hypervisor would notice the guest when it thinks it's time for guest to announce the link presnece. Guest tests VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt and woule send gratuitous packets through netif_notify_peers() and ack the notification through ctrl vq. We need to make sure the atomicy of read and ack in guest otherwise we may ack more times than being notified.

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h.

This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones.

Virtqueues typically run asynchronous, running a callback function when there's data in the channel. We can't readily make use of this in the command paths where we need to use this.

2008-11-16virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation)Mark McLoughlin1-0/+9
If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up 20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized packets from off-host. The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size. In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer. The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in the virtio_net_hdr. Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as fragments and free the associated skbs. This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100% improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s. Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.
