      udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT · bec1f6f6
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      Support generic segmentation offload for udp datagrams. Callers can
      concatenate and send at once the payload of multiple datagrams with
      the same destination.
      
      To set segment size, the caller sets socket option UDP_SEGMENT to the
      length of each discrete payload. This value must be smaller than or
      equal to the relevant MTU.
      
      A follow-up patch adds cmsg UDP_SEGMENT to specify segment size on a
      per send call basis.
      
      Total byte length may then exceed MTU. If not an exact multiple of
      segment size, the last segment will be shorter.
      
      The implementation adds a gso_size field to the udp socket, ip(v6)
      cmsg cookie and inet_cork structure to be able to set the value at
      setsockopt or cmsg time and to work with both lockless and corked
      paths.
      
      Initial benchmark numbers show UDP GSO about as expensive as TCP GSO.

      Measured total system cycles ('-a') for one core while pinning both
      the network receive path and benchmark process to that core:
      
        perf stat -a -C 12 -e cycles \
          ./udpgso_bench_tx -C 12 -4 -D "$DST" -l 4
      
      Note the reduction in calls/s with GSO. Bytes per syscall drops
      increases from 1470 to 61818.

      udp: add udp gso · ee80d1eb
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      Implement generic segmentation offload support for udp datagrams. A
      follow-up patch adds support to the protocol stack to generate such
      packets.
      
      UDP GSO is not UFO. UFO fragments a single large datagram. GSO splits
      a large payload into a number of discrete UDP datagrams.
      
      The implementation adds a GSO type SKB_UDP_GSO_L4 to differentiate it
      from UFO (SKB_UDP_GSO).
      
      IPPROTO_UDPLITE is excluded, as that protocol has no gso handler
      registered.

      udp: expose inet cork to udp · 1cd7884d
      Willem de Bruijn authored
      UDP segmentation offload needs access to inet_cork in the udp layer.
      Pass the struct to ip(6)_make_skb instead of allocating it on the
      stack in that function itself.
      
      This patch is a noop otherwise.

      1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25
      
      This series enables some ethtool and tc-flower filters to be offloaded
      to igb-based network controllers. This is useful when the system
      configuration wants to steer kinds of traffic to a specific hardware
      queue for i210 devices only.
      
      The first two patch in the series are bug fixes.
      
      The basis of this series is to export the internal API used to
      configure address filters, so they can be used by ethtool, and
      extending the functionality so an source address can be handled.
      
      Then, we enable the tc-flower offloading implementation to re-use the
      same infrastructure as ethtool, and storing them in the per-adapter
      "nfc" (Network Filter Config?) list. But for consistency, for
      destructive access they are separated, i.e. an filter added by
      tc-flower can only be removed by tc-flower, but ethtool can read them
      all.
      
      Only support for VLAN Prio, Source and Destination MAC Address, and
      Ethertype is enabled for now.

      pull-request: bpf 2018-04-25
      
      The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
      
      The main changes are:
      
      1) Fix to clear the percpu metadata_dst that could otherwise carry
         stale ip_tunnel_info, from William.
      
      2) Fix that reduces the number of passes in x64 JIT with regards to
         dead code sanitation to avoid risk of prog rejection, from Gianluca.
      
      3) Several fixes of sockmap programs, besides others, fixing a double
         page_put() in error path, missing refcount hold for pinned sockmap,
         adding required -target bpf for clang in sample Makefile, from John.
      
      4) Fix to disable preemption in __BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY() paths, from Roman.
      
      5) Fix tools/bpf/ Makefile with regards to a lex/yacc build error
         seen on older gcc-5, from John.
