2019-05-05net: dsa: Allow drivers to filter packets they can decode source port fromVladimir Oltean
Frames get processed by DSA and redirected to switch port net devices based on the ETH_P_XDSA multiplexed packet_type handler found by the network stack when calling eth_type_trans(). The running assumption is that once the DSA .rcv function is called, DSA is always able to decode the switch tag in order to change the skb->dev from its master. However there are tagging protocols (such as the new DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1105, user of DSA_TAG_PROTO_8021Q) where this assumption is not completely true, since switch tagging piggybacks on the absence of a vlan_filtering bridge. Moreover, management traffic (BPDU, PTP) for this switch doesn't rely on switch tagging, but on a different mechanism. So it would make sense to at least be able to terminate that. Having DSA receive traffic it can't decode would put it in an impossible situation: the eth_type_trans() function would invoke the DSA .rcv(), which could not change skb->dev, then eth_type_trans() would be invoked again, which again would call the DSA .rcv, and the packet would never be able to exit the DSA filter and would spiral in a loop until the whole system dies. This happens because eth_type_trans() doesn't actually look at the skb (so as to identify a potential tag) when it deems it as being ETH_P_XDSA. It just checks whether skb->dev has a DSA private pointer installed (therefore it's a DSA master) and that there exists a .rcv callback (everybody except DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE has that). This is understandable as there are many switch tags out there, and exhaustively checking for all of them is far from ideal. The solution lies in introducing a filtering function for each tagging protocol. In the absence of a filtering function, all traffic is passed to the .rcv DSA callback. The tagging protocol should see the filtering function as a pre-validation that it can decode the incoming skb. The traffic that doesn't match the filter will bypass the DSA .rcv callback and be left on the master netdevice, which wasn't previously possible.

2018-06-26net: Convert GRO SKB handling to list_head.David Miller
Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head. Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers. When GRO receive handlers return non-NULL, it means that this SKB needs to be completed at this time and removed from the NAPI queue. Several operations are greatly simplified by this transformation, especially timing out the oldest SKB in the list when gro_count exceeds MAX_GRO_SKBS, and napi_gro_flush() which walks the queue in reverse order.

2018-05-08net: core: rework basic flow dissection helperPaolo Abeni
When the core networking needs to detect the transport offset in a given packet and parse it explicitly, a full-blown flow_keys struct is used for storage. This patch introduces a smaller keys store, rework the basic flow dissect helper to use it, and apply this new helper where possible - namely in skb_probe_transport_header(). The used flow dissector data structures are renamed to match more closely the new role. The above gives ~50% performance improvement in micro benchmarking around skb_probe_transport_header() and ~30% around eth_get_headlen(), mostly due to the smaller memset. Small, but measurable improvement is measured also in macro benchmarking. v1 -> v2: use the new helper in eth_get_headlen() and skb_get_poff(), as per DaveM suggestion Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-02-08net: introduce device min_header_lenWillem de Bruijn
The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter than the minimum link layer header length. Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols removed the min length check for all protocols. Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to net-next.

2016-11-07net: make default TX queue length a defined constantJesper Dangaard Brouer
The default TX queue length of Ethernet devices have been a magic constant of 1000, ever since the initial git import. Looking back in historical trees[1][2] the value used to be 100, with the same comment "Ethernet wants good queues". The commit[3] that changed this from 100 to 1000 didn't describe why, but from conversations with Robert Olsson it seems that it was changed when Ethernet devices went from 100Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s, because the link speed increased x10 the queue size were also adjusted. This value later caused much heartache for the bufferbloat community. This patch merely moves the value into a defined constant.

2016-10-20net: add recursion limit to GROSabrina Dubroca
Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive handlers. This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this problem. Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers. This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack overflow. When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is aborted for this skb and it is processed normally. This recursion counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter if we run out of space in the CB. Thanks to Vladimír Beneš <vbenes@redhat.com> for the initial bug report.

2016-10-13net: deprecate eth_change_mtu, remove usageJarod Wilson
With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it. Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set to 4096 to remedy that. v2: fix up lantiq_etop, missed breakage due to drive not compiling on x86 CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-28net: help compiler generate better code in eth_get_headlenJesper Dangaard Brouer
Noticed that the compiler (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC)) generated suboptimal assembler code in eth_get_headlen(). This early return coding style is usually not an issue, on super scalar CPUs, but the compiler choose to put the return statement after this very unlikely branch, thus creating larger jump down to the likely code path. Performance wise, I could measure slightly less L1-icache-load-misses and less branch-misses, and an improvement of 1 nanosec with an IP-forwarding use-case with 257 bytes packets with ixgbe (CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz).

2015-05-05etherdev: Fix sparse error, make test usable by other functionsAlexander Duyck
This change does two things. First it fixes a sparse error for the fact that the __be16 degrades to an integer. Since that is actually what I am kind of doing I am simply working around that by forcing both sides of the comparison to u16. Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for big endian systems such as PowerPC since it was masking the value before doing the comparison. So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN. Lastly I pulled this all out into its own function. I notices there are similar checks in a number of other places so this function can be reused there to help reduce overhead in these paths as well.

2014-08-27net: dsa: reduce number of protocol hooksFlorian Fainelli
DSA is currently registering one packet_type function per EtherType it needs to intercept in the receive path of a DSA-enabled Ethernet device. Right now we have three of them: trailer, DSA and eDSA, and there might be more in the future, this will not scale to the addition of new protocols. This patch proceeds with adding a new layer of abstraction and two new functions: dsa_switch_rcv() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific receive function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c dsa_slave_xmit() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific transmit function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c When we do create the per-port slave network devices, we iterate over the switch protocol to assign the DSA-specific receive and transmit operations. A new fake ethertype value is used: ETH_P_XDSA to illustrate the fact that this is no longer going to look like ETH_P_DSA or ETH_P_TRAILER like it used to be. This allows us to greatly simplify the check in eth_type_trans() and always override the skb->protocol with ETH_P_XDSA for Ethernet switches tagged protocol, while also reducing the number repetitive slave netdevice_ops assignments.

2014-01-16net: eth_type_trans() should use skb_header_pointer()Eric Dumazet
eth_type_trans() can read uninitialized memory as drivers do not necessarily pull more than 14 bytes in skb->head before calling it. As David suggested, we can use skb_header_pointer() to fix this without breaking some drivers that might not expect eth_type_trans() pulling 2 additional bytes.

2013-03-28net: add ETH_P_802_3_MINSimon Horman
Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field are Ethernet II. Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and I could find to use the new constant. Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN should be >= not >.

2013-01-21net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handlingStefan Hajnoczi
When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow callers to implement error handling nicely. This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part, then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.
