The first patch specifies a timestamp filter for NTP packets. The second patch updates drivers that can timestamp all packets, or need to list the filter as unsupported. There is no attempt to add the support to the phyter driver. The third patch adds two helper functions working with NAPI ID, which is needed by the next patch. The fourth patch adds a new option to get a new control message with the L2 length and interface index for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. The fifth patch fixes documentation on number of non-zero fields in scm_timestamping and warns about false software timestamps when SO_TIMESTAMP(NS) is combined with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. The sixth patch adds a new option to request both software and hardware timestamps for outgoing packets. The seventh patch updates drivers that assumed software timestamping cannot be used together with hardware timestamping. The patches have been tested on x86_64 machines with igb and e1000e drivers. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Some drivers were calling the skb_tx_timestamp() function only when a hardware timestamp was not requested. Now that applications can use the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to request both software and hardware timestamps, the drivers need to be modified to unconditionally call skb_tx_timestamp().

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the driver. Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software timestamp or it is an incoming packet. While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as there are no other users. CC: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> CC: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by:

The scm_timestamping struct may return multiple non-zero fields, e.g. when both software and hardware RX timestamping is enabled, or when the SO_TIMESTAMP(NS) option is combined with SCM_TIMESTAMPING and a false software timestamp is generated in the recvmsg() call in order to always return a SCM_TIMESTAMP(NS) message.

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of the real interface which received the packet and the length of the packet at layer 2. The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in the NTP protocol. While this information could be provided by two new socket options independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware timestamping. Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero index will be returned in the control message. CC: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Acked-by:

Since commit b6858177 ("net: Make skb->skb_iif always track skb->dev") skbs don't have the original index of the interface which received the packet. This information is now needed for a new control message related to hardware timestamping. Instead of adding a new field to skb, we can find the device by the NAPI ID if it is available, i.e. CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is enabled and the driver is using NAPI. Add dev_get_by_napi_id() and also skb_napi_id() to hide the CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL ifdef. CC: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Suggested-by:

Current largesend and checksum offload feature in ibmveth driver, - Source VM sends the TCP packets with ip_summed field set as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and TCP pseudo header checksum is placed in checksum field - CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag in SKB will enable ibmveth driver to mark "no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor before the packet is delivered to pseries PowerVM Hypervisor - If ibmveth has largesend capability enabled, transmit buffer descriptors are market accordingly before packet is delivered to Hypervisor (along with mss value for packets with length > MSS) - Destination VM's ibmveth driver receives the packet with "checksum good" bit set and so, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY - If "largesend" bit was on, mss value is copied from receive descriptor into SKB's gso_size and other flags are appropriately set for packets > MSS size - The packet is now successfully delivered up the stack in destination VM The offloads described above works fine for TCP communication among VMs in the same pseries server ( VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B ) We are now enabling support for OVS in pseries PowerVM environment. One of our requirements is to have ibmveth driver configured in "Trunk" mode, when they are used with OVS. This is because, PowerVM Hypervisor will no more bridge the packets between VMs, instead the packets are delivered to IO Server which hosts OVS to bridge them between VMs or to external networks (flow shown below), VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> IO Server(OVS) <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B In "IO server" the packet is received by inbound Trunk ibmveth and then delivered to OVS, which is then bridged to outbound Trunk ibmveth (shown below), Inbound Trunk ibmveth <=> OVS <=> Outbound Trunk ibmveth In this model, we hit the following issues which impacted the VM communication performance, - Issue 1: ibmveth doesn't support largesend and checksum offload features when configured as "Trunk". Driver has explicit checks to prevent enabling these offloads. - Issue 2: SYN packet drops seen at destination VM. When the packet originates, it has CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag set and as it gets delivered to IO server's inbound Trunk ibmveth, on validating "checksum good" bits in ibmveth receive routine, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY flag. This packet is then bridged by OVS (or Linux Bridge) and delivered to outbound Trunk ibmveth. At this point the outbound ibmveth transmit routine will not set "no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor, as it does so only when the ip_summed field is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. When this packet gets delivered to destination VM, TCP layer receives the packet with checksum value of 0 and with no checksum related flags in ip_summed field. This leads to packet drops. So, TCP connections never goes through fine. - Issue 3: First packet of a TCP connection will be dropped, if there is no OVS flow cached in datapath. OVS while trying to identify the flow, computes the checksum. The computed checksum will be invalid at the receiving end, as ibmveth transmit routine zeroes out the pseudo checksum value in the packet. This leads to packet drop. - Issue 4: ibmveth driver doesn't have support for SKB's with frag_list. When Physical NIC has GRO enabled and when OVS bridges these packets, OVS vport send code will end up calling dev_queue_xmit, which in turn calls validate_xmit_skb. In validate_xmit_skb routine, the larger packets will get segmented into MSS sized segments, if SKB has a frag_list and if the driver to which they are delivered to doesn't support NETIF_F_FRAGLIST feature. This patch addresses the above four issues, thereby enabling end to end largesend and checksum offload support for better performance. - Fix for Issue 1 : Remove checks which prevent enabling TCP largesend and checksum offloads. - Fix for Issue 2 : When ibmveth receives a packet with "checksum good" bit set and if its configured in Trunk mode, set appropriate SKB fields using skb_partial_csum_set (ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) - Fix for Issue 3: Recompute the pseudo header checksum before sending the SKB up the stack. - Fix for Issue 4: Linearize the SKBs with frag_list. Though we end up allocating buffers and copying data, this fix gives upto 4X throughput increase. Note: All these fixes need to be dropped together as fixing just one of them will lead to other issues immediately (especially for Issues 1,2 & 3).

Driver maintains its primary MAC in a private field which gets updated when ndo_dev_set_mac() gets called. However, there are flows where the primary MAC of the device can change without said NDO being called [bond device in TLB mode configuring slaves' addresses], resulting in a configuration where there's a mismatch between what's apparent to user [the netdevice's value] and what's configured in the HW [the private value]. As we don't have any real motivation of maintaining this private field, simply remove it and start using the netdevice's field instead. Signed-off-by:

When management firmware declares that the device is WoL-capable, the default driver behavior would be to allow the management firmware to take the decision of whether it's actually needed or not. Problem is ethtool interface doesn't have a 'default' kind of option, and user would see the interface WoL as disabled, which doesn't accurately reflect the actual configuration. More-so, if the user actually wants to explicitly disable WoL he'd have to first enable it [otherwise ethtool would block the command]. Instead of allowing management to make the decision, enable WoL by default on all devices capable of it. Signed-off-by:

Davide Caratti says: ==================== net: fix CRC32c in the forwarding path Current kernel allows offloading CRC32c computation when SCTP packets are generated, setting skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, if the underlying device features have NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC set. However, after these packets are forwarded, they may land on a device where CRC32c offloading is not available: as a consequence, transmission is done with wrong CRC32c. It's not possible to use sctp_compte_cksum() in the forwarding path and in most drivers, because it needs symbols exported by libcrc32c module. Patch 1 and 2 of this series try to solve this problem, introducing a new helper function, namely skb_crc32c_csum_help(), that can be used to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL when crc32c is needed instead of Internet Checksum. Currently, we need to parse the packet headers to understand what algorithm is needed to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. We can speedup things by storing this information in the skb metadata, and use it to call an appropriate helper (skb_checksum_help or skb_crc32c_csum_help), or leave the packet unmodified when the NIC is able to offload the checksum computation. Patch 3 deprecates skb->csum_bad to free one bit in skb metadata; patch 4 introduces skb->csum_not_inet, providing skb with an indication on the algorithm needed to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Patch 5 and 6 fix the kernel forwarding path and openvswitch datapath, where skb_checksum_help was unconditionally called to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, thus generating wrong CRC32c in forwarded SCTP packets. Finally, patch 7 updates documentation to provide a better description of possible values of skb->ip_summed. Some further work is still possible: * drivers that parse the packet header to correctly resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (e.g. ixgbe_tx_csum()) can benefit from testing skb->csum_not_inet to avoid calling ip_hdr(skb)->protocol or ixgbe_ipv6_csum_is_sctp(skb). * drivers that call skb_checksum_help() to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL can call skb_csum_hwoffload_help to avoid corrupting SCTP packets. Changes v2->v3: - patch 1/7: more standard declaration of stub variables Changes v1->v2: - none Changes RFCv4->v1: - patch 2/7: use WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of BUG_ON(), and avoid computing CRC32c on the error path. - patch 3/7: don't invert tests on the values of same_flow and NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush in dev_gro_receive(), it's useless and it breaks GRO functionality as reported by kernel test robot. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c (or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

skb->csum_not_inet carries the indication on which algorithm is needed to compute checksum on skb in the transmit path, when skb->ip_summed is equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. If skb carries a SCTP packet and crc32c hasn't been yet written in L4 header, skb->csum_not_inet is assigned to 1; otherwise, assume Internet Checksum is needed and thus set skb->csum_not_inet to 0.
