Paul Durrant ed1f50c3a7 net: add skb_checksum_setup
This patch adds a function to set up the partial checksum offset for IP
packets (and optionally re-calculate the pseudo-header checksum) into the
core network code.
The implementation was previously private and duplicated between xen-netback
and xen-netfront, however it is not xen-specific and is potentially useful
to any network driver.

Jesse Gross says:

====================
[GIT net-next] Open vSwitch

Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are:
 * Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace
   using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate.
 * Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared
   across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save
   memory and allocation time.
 * A handful of code cleanups and rationalization.

Hannes Frederic Sowa 239c78db9c net: clear local_df when passing skb between namespaces
We must clear local_df when passing the skb between namespaces as the
packet is not local to the new namespace any more and thus may not get
fragmented by local rules. Fred Templin noticed that other namespaces
do fragment IPv6 packets while forwarding. Instead they should have send
back a PTB.

The same problem should be present when forwarding DF-IPv4 packets
between namespaces.

Herbert Xu 9d8506cc2d gso: handle new frag_list of frags GRO packets
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.

Jiri Pirko 6aafeef03b netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs
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.

Daniel Borkmann 2817a336d4 net: skb_checksum: allow custom update/combine for walking skb
Currently, skb_checksum walks over 1) linearized, 2) frags[], and
3) frag_list data and calculats the one's complement, a 32 bit
result suitable for feeding into itself or csum_tcpudp_magic(),
but unsuitable for SCTP as we're calculating CRC32c there.

Hence, in order to not re-implement the very same function in
SCTP (and maybe other protocols) over and over again, use an
update() + combine() callback internally to allow for walking
over the skb with different algorithms.

Eric Dumazet 030737bcc3 net: generalize skb_segment()
While implementing GSO/TSO support for IPIP, I found skb_segment()
was assuming network header was immediately following mac header.

Its not really true in the case inet_gso_segment() is stacked :
By the time tcp_gso_segment() is called, network header points
to the inner IP header.

Let's instead assume nothing and pick the current offsets found in
original skb, we have skb_headers_offset_update() helper for that.

Also move the csum_start update inside skb_headers_offset_update()

Eric Dumazet 8a29111c7c net: gro: allow to build full sized skb
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)

With this patch callers will be allowed to traverse the SKB data by calling
skb_prepare_seq_read() once and repeatedly calling skb_seq_read() as originally
intended (and documented in the original commit 677e90eda), that is, only call
skb_abort_seq_read() if the sequential read is actually aborted.

Simon Horman 1cdbcb7957 net: Loosen constraints for recalculating checksum in skb_segment()
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.

Willem de Bruijn 2e31396fa1 packet: tx timestamping on tpacket ring
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

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.

Amerigo Wang 68534c682e net: fix a wrong assignment in skb_split()
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.

Pravin B Shelar c9af6db4c1 net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation.
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.

The e1000e conflict is an addition of a new statistic in the ethtool

The vmxnet3 conflict is about one change in 'net' removing a guarding
