Use the new fancy eth_get_headlen() to pull exactly the headers into skb->head. This speeds up GRE traffic (or more generally tunneled traffuc), as GRO can aggregate up to 17 MSS per GRO packet instead of 8. (Pulling too much data was forcing GRO to keep 2 frags per MSS) Signed-off-by:

I have done some performance testing on ixgbe with 258 byte frames since the calls are only used on frames larger than 256 bytes and have seen no significant difference in CPU utilization. v2: renamed __skb_get_poff to skb_get_poff renamed ___skb_get_poff to __skb_get_poff ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support sending a linear buffer instead of a skb. I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== This change makes it so that the core path for the phy timestamping logic is shared between skb_tx_tstamp and skb_complete_tx_timestamp. In addition it provides a means of using the same skb clone type path in non phy timestamping drivers. The main motivation for this is to enable non-phy drivers to be able to manipulate tx timestamp skbs for such things as putting them in lists or setting aside buffer in the context block. v2: Incorporated suggested changes from Willem de Bruijn and Eric Dumazet dropped uneeded comment restored order of hwtstamp vs swtstamp added destructor for skb Dropped usage of skb_complete_tx_timestamp as a kfree_skb w/ destructor v3: Updated destructor handling and dealt with socket reference counting issues v4: Split out combining destructors into a separate patch ==================== -

Since sock_efree and sock_demux are essentially the same code for non-TCP sockets and the case where CONFIG_INET is not defined we can combine the code or replace the call to sock_edemux in several spots. As a result we can avoid a bit of unnecessary code or code duplication. Signed-off-by:

The phy timestamping takes a different path than the regular timestamping does in that it will create a clone first so that the packets needing to be timestamped can be placed in a queue, or the context block could be used. In order to support these use cases I am pulling the core of the code out so it can be used in other drivers beyond just phy devices. In addition I have added a destructor named sock_efree which is meant to provide a simple way for dropping the reference to skb exceptions that aren't part of either the receive or send windows for the socket, and I have removed some duplication in spots where this destructor could be used in place of sock_edemux.

This change merges the shared bits that exist between skb_tx_tstamp and skb_complete_tx_timestamp. By doing this we can avoid the two diverging as there were already changes pushed into skb_tx_tstamp that hadn't made it into the other function. In addition this resolves issues with the fact that skb_complete_tx_timestamp was included in linux/skbuff.h even though it was only compiled in if phy timestamping was enabled. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-04 This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Catherine adds dual speed module support to i40e. Updates i40e to allow the user to change link settings when the link is down. Serey renames i40e_ndo_set_vf_spoofck() to i40e_ndo_set_vf_spookchk() to be more consistent with what is defined in netdev and removes a unnecessary variable assignment. Jesse makes a malicious driver detection warning only print if extended driver string is enabled for i40e. Fixes a panic under traffic load when resetting or if/whenever there was a Tx-timeout because we were enabling the Tx queue to early. Anjali fixes an issue when PF reset fails, where we were trying to restart the admin queue which has not been setup at that point. This resolves an occasional kernel panic when PF reset fails for some reason. Ethan Zhao replaces the use of a local i40e_vfs_are_assigned() with the global kernel pci_vfs_assigned() for i40e. Alex cleans up the FDB handling for ixgbe. This change makes it so that the behavior for FDB handling is consistent between both the SR-IOV and non-SR-IOV cases. The main change is that we perform bounds checking on the number of SR-IOV addresses regardless of if SR-IOV is enabled or not as we can only support a certain number of addresses in the hardware. Emil extends the pending Tx work check to the VF interfaces, where the driver initiates a reset of the interface on link loss with pending Tx work in order to clear the rings. Introduces a delay for 82599 VFs of at least 500 usecs to make sure the VFLINKS value is correct, since this bit tends to flap when a DA or SFP+ cable is disconnected. Jacob adds code comments in ixgbe to make it more obvious that we are resetting features based on the fact that we do not have MSI-X enabled, and cannot use the previous settings. Also resolves a kernel NULL pointer dereference by limiting the combined total of MACVLAN and SR-IOV VFs, since the hardware has a limited number of pools available (64). Previously, no checks were in place to limit the number of accelerated MACVLAN devices based on the number of pools, which would be ok since there was already a limit for these well below the number of available pools. However, SR-IOV uses the very same pools, therefore we need to ensure that the total number of pools does not exceed the number of pools available in the hardware. v2: - clean up code comment in patch 5 by replacing "an" with "auto negotiation" based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov - removed un-necessary parenthesis around function call in patch 8 based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov ====================

Simplify the interrupt resource lookup code in cpsw_probe() by the following: * Only look at the first member of the resource. As the driver only works for DT-enabled platforms anyway, a resource of type IORESOURCE_IRQ will only contain one single entry (res->start == res->end), so there is no need for the iteration. * Add a bounds check to avoid overflows if we are passed more than ARRAY_SIZE(priv->irqs_table) resources. * Assign 'ret' with the return value of devm_request_irq() so that cpsw_probe() returns the appropriate error code. * If devm_request_irq() fails, report the error code in the log message.

Since device resets can change the current mode it's possible to think the device is in a different mode than it actually is. Rather than trying to determine every place that is needed to set/save the current mode, be safe and check the devices actual mode when needed rather than trying to track it. Signed-off-by:

Govindarajulu Varadarajan says: ==================== enic: Add support for rx_copybreak The following series implements rx_copybreak. dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is more expensive than alloc_skb & memcpy for smaller packets. By doing this we can reuse the dma buff which is already mapped. This is very useful when iommu is on. The default skb copybreak value is 256. When iommu is on, we can go much higher than 256. All the drivers that supports rx_copybreak provides module parameter to change this value. Since module parameter is the least preferred way for changing driver values, this series adds ethtool support for setting rx_copybreak. v4: Validate tunable length in ethtool_get_tunable, not in driver implemented function. Loose tunable_ops array for each tunable type. Define one function and let the driver use switch case for each type. Use double underscore for data type in UAPI headers. Use const qualifier where possible. v3: Add tunable namespace to ethtool. Use new ethtool cmd ETHTOOL_S/GTUNABLE to set/get rx_copybreak from userspace. v2: Add new ethtool_cmd for DMA buffer parameters, instead of adding new members to existing ethtool_ringparam. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Marcel reported to see the following message when autoloading is being triggered when adding nlmon device: Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev-nlmon instead. This false-positive happens despite with having correct capabilities set, e.g. through issuing `ip link del dev nlmon` more than once on a valid device with name nlmon, but Marcel has also seen it on creation time when no nlmon module is previously compiled-in or loaded as module and the device name equals a link type name (e.g. nlmon, vxlan, team). Stephen says: The netdev module alias is a hold over from the past. For normal devices, people used to create a alias eth0 to and point it to the type of network device used, that was back in the bad old ISA days before real discovery. Also, the tunnels create module alias for the control device and ip used to use this to autoload the tunnel device. The message is bogus and should just be removed, I also see it in a couple of other cases where tap devices are renamed for other usese. As mentioned in 8909c9ad ("net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules"), we nevertheless still might want to leave the old autoloading behaviour in place as it could break old scripts, so for now, lets just remove the log message as Stephen suggests.

With eBPF getting more extended and exposure to user space is on it's way, hardening the memory range the interpreter uses to steer its command flow seems appropriate. This patch moves the to be interpreted bytecode to read-only pages. In case we execute a corrupted BPF interpreter image for some reason e.g. caused by an attacker which got past a verifier stage, it would not only provide arbitrary read/write memory access but arbitrary function calls as well. After setting up the BPF interpreter image, its contents do not change until destruction time, thus we can setup the image on immutable made pages in order to mitigate modifications to that code. The idea is derived from commit 314beb9b ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf jit against spraying attacks"). This is possible because bpf_prog is not part of sk_filter anymore. After setup bpf_prog cannot be altered during its life-time. This prevents any modifications to the entire bpf_prog structure (incl. function/JIT image pointer). Every eBPF program (including classic BPF that are migrated) have to call bpf_prog_select_runtime() to select either interpreter or a JIT image as a last setup step, and they all are being freed via bpf_prog_free(), including non-JIT. Therefore, we can easily integrate this into the eBPF life-time, plus since we directly allocate a bpf_prog, we have no performance penalty. Tested with seccomp and test_bpf testsuite in JIT/non-JIT mode and manual inspection of kernel_page_tables. Brad Spengler proposed the same idea via Twitter during development of this patch. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa. Suggested-by:

When we bring the interface down, phy_stop() will schedule the PHY state machine to call our link adjustment callback. By the time we do so, we may have clock gated off the SYSTEMPORT hardware block, and this will cause bus errors to happen in bcm_sysport_adj_link(): Make sure that we only touch the UMAC_CMD register when there is an actual link. This is safe to do for two reasons: - updating the Ethernet MAC registers only make sense when a physical link is present - the PHY library state machine first set phydev->link = 0 before invoking phydev->adjust_link in the PHY_HALTED case This is a similar fix to the GENET one: c677ba8b ("net: bcmgenet: update UMAC_CMD only when link is detected").

As in IPv6 people might increase the igmp query robustness variable to make sure unsolicited state change reports aren't lost on the network. Add and document this new knob to igmp code. RFCs allow tuning this parameter back to first IGMP RFC, so we also use this setting for all counters, including source specific multicast. Also take over sysctl value when upping the interface and don't reuse the last one seen on the interface. Cc: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new sysctl_mld_qrv knob to configure the mldv1/v2 query robustness variable. It specifies how many retransmit of unsolicited mld retransmit should happen. Admins might want to tune this on lossy links. Also reset mld state on interface down/up, so we pick up new sysctl settings during interface up event. IPv6 certification requests this knob to be available. I didn't make this knob netns specific, as it is mostly a setting in a physical environment and should be per host.
