In commit 8a29111c7c ("net: gro: allow to build full sized skb")
I added a regression for linear skb that traditionally force GRO
to use the frag_list fallback.
Erez Shitrit found that at most two segments were aggregated and
the "if (skb_gro_len(p) != pinfo->gso_size)" test was failing.
This is because pinfo at this spot still points to the last skb in the
chain, instead of the first one, where we find the correct gso_size
information.

With proliferation of bit fields in sk_buff, __copy_skb_header() became
quite expensive, showing as the most expensive function in a GSO
workload.
__copy_skb_header() performance is also critical for non GSO TCP
operations, as it is used from skb_clone()
This patch carefully moves all the fields that were not copied in a
separate zone : cloned, nohdr, fclone, peeked, head_frag, xmit_more
Then I moved all other fields and all other copied fields in a section
delimited by headers_start[0]/headers_end[0] section so that we
can use a single memcpy() call, inlined by compiler using long
word load/stores.
I also tried to make all copies in the natural orders of sk_buff,
to help hardware prefetching.
I made sure sk_buff size did not change.

While profiling TCP stack, I noticed one useless atomic operation

It turns out all current skb_header_release() users have a fresh skb,

There is a possible issue with the use, or lack thereof of sk_refcnt and
sk_wmem_alloc in the wifi ack status functionality.
Specifically if a socket were to request acknowledgements, and the socket
were to have sk_refcnt drop to 0 resulting in it waiting on sk_wmem_alloc
to reach 0 it would be possible to have sock_queue_err_skb orphan the last
buffer, resulting in __sk_free being called on the socket. After this the
buffer is enqueued on sk_error_queue, however the queue has already been

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

sk->sk_error_queue is dequeued in four locations. All share the
exact same logic. Deduplicate.
Also collapse the two critical sections for dequeue (at the top of
the recv handler) and signal (at the bottom).
This moves signal generation for the next packet forward, which should
be harmless.
It also changes the behavior if the recv handler exits early with an
error. Previously, a signal for follow-up packets on the errqueue
would then not be scheduled. The new behavior, to always signal, is
arguably a bug fix.
For rxrpc, the change causes the same function to be called repeatedly
for each queued packet (because the recv handler == sk_error_report).
It is likely that all packets will fail for the same reason (e.g.,
memory exhaustion).
This code runs without sk_lock held, so it is not safe to trust that
sk->sk_err is immutable inbetween releasing q->lock and the subsequent
test. Introduce int err just to avoid this potential race.

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
is enabled in the kernel. When VLAN is disabled, the function
vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
packets. This seems to create an interesting interaction
between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.
There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver. These drivers also seem
to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
header already in the skb. When transmitting skbs that already
have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
failure to establish TCP connections.
The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
sender is a VM with a VLAN configued. The host VM is running on
doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
host is tg3:
10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f > 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q

4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
This connection finally times out.
I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
only tested this with TG3 driver. There are a lot of other drivers
that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.
The patch attempt to fix this another way. It moves the vlan header
stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
kernel network core. This way, even if vlan is not supported on
a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
host will still work with VLANs enabled.

TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams.
Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and
network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as
a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer.
The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in
the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel
transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to
construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering.
The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad.
This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces
one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies
the option into the correct smaller packet.
This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP
Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path.
If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a
byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams.
The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty
replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps,
flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing
tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled.
Implementation details:
- On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I
moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case
to a single branch.
- To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset
returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between
an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK).
The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID
option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno
is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the
current seqno when reenabling the option).

Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack
and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams
from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique
correlate looped data with original send() call (for application
level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex,
requiring packet inspection.
Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with
send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of
sock_extended_err.
The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the
socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx
timestamp generation is enabled.
The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to
avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0.
The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling
does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible
to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced
first.

Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING

define the existing behavior.
The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to
sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING.

When performing segmentation, the mac_len value is copied right
out of the original skb. However, this value is not always set correctly
(like when the packet is VLAN-tagged) and we'll end up copying a bad

One way to demonstrate this is to configure a VM which tags
packets internally and turn off VLAN acceleration on the forwarding
bridge port. The packets show up corrupt like this:
16:18:24.985548 52:54:00🆎be:25 > 52:54:00:26:ce:a3, ethertype 802.1Q

0x0060: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp
...
This also leads to awful throughput as GSO packets are dropped and
cause retransmissions.
The solution is to set the mac_len using the values already available
in then new skb. We've already adjusted all of the header offset, so we
might as well correctly figure out the mac_len using skb_reset_mac_len().
After this change, packets are segmented correctly and performance
is restored.

The logic introduced in commit 7e3cead517

This patch:
1) Restores code in __skb_checksum_complete_header except for setting
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This function may be calculating checksum on
something less than skb->len.
2) Adds saving checksum to __skb_checksum_complete. The full packet
checksum 0..skb->len is calculated without adding in pseudo header.
This value is saved in skb->csum and then the pseudo header is added
to that to derive the checksum for validation.
3) In both __skb_checksum_complete_header and __skb_checksum_complete,
set skb->csum_valid to whether checksum of zero was computed. This
allows skb_csum_unnecessary to return true without changing to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which was done previously.
4) Copy new csum related bits in __copy_skb_header.

This patch fixes a kernel BUG_ON in skb_segment. It is hit when
testing two VMs on openvswitch with one VM acting as VXLAN gateway.
During VXLAN packet GSO, skb_segment is called with skb->data
pointing to inner TCP payload. skb_segment calls skb_network_protocol
to retrieve the inner protocol. skb_network_protocol actually expects
skb->data to point to MAC and it calls pskb_may_pull with ETH_HLEN.
This ends up pulling in ETH_HLEN data from header tail. As a result,
pskb_trim logic is skipped and BUG_ON is hit later.
Move skb_push in front of skb_network_protocol so that skb->data
lines up properly.

When creating a GSO packet segment we may need to set more than
one checksum in the packet (for instance a TCP checksum and
UDP checksum for VXLAN encapsulation). To be efficient, we want
to do checksum calculation for any part of the packet at most once.
This patch adds csum_start offset to skb_gso_cb. This tracks the
starting offset for skb->csum which is initially set in skb_segment.
When a protocol needs to compute a transport checksum it calls
gso_make_checksum which computes the checksum value from the start
of transport header to csum_start and then adds in skb->csum to get
the full checksum. skb->csum and csum_start are then updated to reflect
the checksum of the resultant packet starting from the transport header.
This patch also adds a flag to skbuff, encap_hdr_csum, which is set
in *gso_segment fucntions to indicate that a tunnel protocol needs
checksum calculation

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss.
For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment
payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size.
Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet
will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its
individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.

skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan
headers that may be present in the skb. However, skb_mac_gso_segment()
doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len
is set correctly to skip all mac headers. That may not
always be the case. If we are simply forwarding the packet (via
bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for.
A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return
the vlan depth it has calculated. This way skb_mac_gso_segment
will correctly skip all mac headers.

Recently GRO started generating packets with frag_lists of frags.
This was not handled by GSO, thus leading to a crash.
Thankfully these packets are of a regular form and are easy to
handle. This patch handles them in two ways. For completely
non-linear frag_list entries, we simply continue to iterate over
the frag_list frags once we exhaust the normal frags. For frag_list
entries with linear parts, we call pskb_trim on the first part
of the frag_list skb, and then process the rest of the frags in
the usual way.
This patch also kills a chunk of dead frag_list code that has
obviously never ever been run since it ends up generating a bogus
GSO-segmented packet with a frag_list entry.
Future work is planned to split super big packets into TSO
ones.

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:
<example>
On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT
and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500)
Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
</example>
As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.
Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

skb_gro_receive() is currently limited to 16 or 17 MSS per GRO skb,
typically 24616 bytes, because it fills up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags.
It's relatively easy to extend the skb using frag_list to allow
more frags to be appended into the last sk_buff.
This still builds very efficient skbs, and allows reaching 45 MSS per
skb.
(45 MSS GRO packet uses one skb plus a frag_list containing 2 additional
sk_buff)
High speed TCP flows benefit from this extension by lowering TCP stack
cpu usage (less packets stored in receive queue, less ACK packets
processed)
Forwarding setups could be hurt, as such skbs will need to be
linearized, although its not a new problem, as GRO could already
provide skbs with a frag_list.
We could make the 65536 bytes threshold a tunable to mitigate this.
(First time we need to linearize skb in skb_needs_linearize(), we could
lower the tunable to ~16*1460 so that following skb_gro_receive() calls
build smaller skbs)

This is a generic solution to resolve a specific problem that I have observed.
If the encapsulation of an skb changes then ability to offload checksums
may also change. In particular it may be necessary to perform checksumming
in software.
An example of such a case is where a non-GRE packet is received but
is to be encapsulated and transmitted as GRE.
Another example relates to my proposed support for for packets
that are non-MPLS when received but MPLS when transmitted.
The cost of this change is that the value of the csum variable may be
checked when it previously was not. In the case where the csum variable is
true this is pure overhead. In the case where the csum variable is false it
leads to software checksumming, which I believe also leads to correct
checksums in transmitted packets for the cases described above.
Further analysis:
This patch relies on the return value of can_checksum_protocol()
being correct and in turn the return value of skb_network_protocol(),
used to provide the protocol parameter of can_checksum_protocol(),
being correct. It also relies on the features passed to skb_segment()
and in turn to can_checksum_protocol() being correct.
I believe that this problem has not been observed for VLANs because it
appears that almost all drivers, the exception being xgbe, set
vlan_features such that that the checksum offload support for VLAN packets
is greater than or equal to that of non-VLAN packets.
I wonder if the code in xgbe may be an oversight and the hardware does
support checksumming of VLAN packets. If so it may be worth updating the
vlan_features of the driver as this patch will force such checksums to be
performed in software rather than hardware.

When transmit timestamping is enabled at the socket level, record a
timestamp on packets written to a PACKET_TX_RING. Tx timestamps are
always looped to the application over the socket error queue. Software
timestamps are also written back into the packet frame header in the
packet ring.

Add a function to allocate a sk_buff head without any data. This will
be used by memory mapped netlink to attach data from the mmaped area
to the skb.
Additionally change skb_release_all() to check whether the skb has a
data area to allow the skb destructor to clear the data pointer in case
only a head has been allocated.

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW
tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions,
so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole
(on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size.

For untrusted packets with partial checksum, we need to set the transport header
for precise packet length estimation. We can just let skb_pratial_csum_set() to
do this to avoid extra call to skb_flow_dissect() and simplify the caller.

commit c9af6db4c1 (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
has a suspicous piece:
- skb_shinfo(skb1)->gso_type = skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type;
-
+ skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags = skb_shinfo(skb1)->tx_flags & SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG;
skb1 is the new skb, therefore should be on the left side of the assignment.
This patch fixes it.

Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

Patch cef401de7b (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.
Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.
tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

I get the following build error on next-20130213 due to the following
commit:
commit f05de73bf8 ("skbuff: create
skb_panic() function and its wrappers").
It adds an argument called panic to a function that uses the BUG() macro
which tries to call panic, but the argument masks the panic() function
declaration, resulting in the following error (gcc 4.2.4):
net/core/skbuff.c In function 'skb_panic':
net/core/skbuff.c +126 : error: called object 'panic' is not a function
This is fixed by renaming the argument to msg.

Create skb_panic() function in lieu of both skb_over_panic() and

In order to address the fact that some devices cannot support the full 32K
frag size we need to have the value accessible somewhere so that we can use it
to do comparisons against what the device can support. As such I am moving
the values out of skbuff.c and into skbuff.h.

Pravin Shelar mentioned that GSO could potentially generate
wrong TX checksum if skb has fragments that are overwritten
by the user between the checksum computation and transmit.
He suggested to linearize skbs but this extra copy can be
avoided for normal tcp skbs cooked by tcp_sendmsg().
This patch introduces a new SKB_GSO_SHARED_FRAG flag, set
in skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type if at least one frag can be
modified by the user.
Typical sources of such possible overwrites are {vm}splice(),
sendfile(), and macvtap/tun/virtio_net drivers.

Performance of the SENDFILE is impacted by the extra allocation and
copy, and because we use order-0 pages, while the TCP_STREAM uses
bigger pages.

splice() can handle pages of any order, but network code tries hard to
split them in PAGE_SIZE units. Not quite successfully anyway, as
__splice_segment() assumed poff < PAGE_SIZE. This is true for
the skb->data part, not necessarily for the fragments.
This patch removes this logic to give the pages as they are in the skb.
