UDP checksums are optional, hence pktgen has been omitting them in
favour of performance. The optional flag UDPCSUM enables UDP
checksumming. If the output device supports hardware checksumming
the skb is prepared and marked CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, otherwise the

This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx
checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features.
Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and
this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below:
Utilization
Send
Throughput local GSO
10^6bits/s % S state
6276.51 8.39 enabled
7123.52 8.42 disabled
To resolve this it was necessary to address two items. First
netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle
the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for
Q-in-Q tagging. To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features
so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer
protocol.
Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation
offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header
offsets after the offload was complete.
As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface
with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames:
Utilization
Send
Throughput local GSO
10^6bits/s % S state
7123.52 8.42 disabled
8321.75 5.43 enabled
v2: Instead of replacing refrence to skb->protocol with
skb_network_protocol just replace the protocol reference in
harmonize_features to allow for double VLAN tag checks.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

In situations where a encapsulation user allocates resources associated with a
udp encap socket, it may be convenient to be able to also hook the proto
.destroy operation. For example, if an encap user holds a reference to the
udp socket, the destroy hook might be used to relinquish this reference.

Allow multiple UDP sockets to bind to the same port.
Motivation soreuseport would be something like a DNS server. An
alternative would be to recv on the same socket from multiple threads.
As in the case of TCP, the load across these threads tends to be
disproportionate and we also see a lot of contection on the socketlock.
Note that SO_REUSEADDR already allows multiple UDP sockets to bind to
the same port, however there is no provision to prevent hijacking and
nothing to distribute packets across all the sockets sharing the same
bound port. This patch does not change the semantics of SO_REUSEADDR,
but provides usable functionality of it for unicast.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU
information in every ICMP error handler.
Create two helper functions to facilitate this.
1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu()
This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to
work with.
2) ipv4_update_pmtu()
Raw version, used when no socket context is available. For this
interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for
the flow identity information we would have extracted from the
socket.
And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented
in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu()
Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like
ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key(). This is because we
absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC
encapsulation and the like. Instead, we only want the route that
would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.
On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the

As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can

Idea of this patch came after Simon Horman proposal to add a hook on TCP

If static_key is not yet enabled, the fast path does a single JMP .
When static_key is enabled, JMP destination is patched to reach the real

The IP_UNICAST_IF feature is needed by the Wine project. This patch
implements the feature by setting the outgoing interface in a similar
fashion to that of IP_MULTICAST_IF. A separate option is needed to
handle this feature since the existing options do not provide all of
the characteristics required by IP_UNICAST_IF, a summary is provided
below.
SO_BINDTODEVICE:
* SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges, IP_UNICAST_IF
does not. From reading some old mailing list articles my
understanding is that SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative
privileges because it can override the administrator's routing
settings.
* The SO_BINDTODEVICE option restricts both outbound and inbound
traffic, IP_UNICAST_IF only impacts outbound traffic.
IP_PKTINFO:
* Since IP_PKTINFO and IP_UNICAST_IF are independent options,
implementing IP_UNICAST_IF with IP_PKTINFO will likely break some
applications.
* Implementing IP_UNICAST_IF on top of IP_PKTINFO significantly
complicates the Wine codebase and reduces the socket performance
(doing this requires a lot of extra communication between the
"server" and "user" layers).
bind():
* bind() does not work on broadcast packets, IP_UNICAST_IF is
specifically intended to work with broadcast packets.
* Like SO_BINDTODEVICE, bind() restricts both outbound and inbound
traffic.
