David Ahern 607fca9acf net: veth: Set features for MPLS
veth does not really transmit packets only moves the skb from one
netdev to another so gso and checksum is not really needed. Add
the features to mpls_features to get the same benefit and performance
with MPLS as without it.

Xin Long c80fafbbb5 veth: sctp: add NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC to device features
Commit b17c706987 ("loopback: sctp: add NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM to device
features") added NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC to device features for lo device to
improve the performance of sctp over lo.

This patch is to add NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC to device features for veth to
improve the performance of sctp over veth.

Paolo Abeni 163e529200 veth: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom
The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom.
Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM.

This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev
towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation.

When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device,
this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect
the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a
plain Linux bridge.

Vijay Pandurangan ce8c839b74 veth: don’t modify ip_summed; doing so treats packets with bad checksums as good.
Packets that arrive from real hardware devices have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if the hardware verified the checksums, or
CHECKSUM_NONE if the packet is bad or it was unable to verify it. The
current version of veth will replace CHECKSUM_NONE with
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which causes corrupt packets routed from hardware to
a veth device to be delivered to the application. This caused applications
at Twitter to receive corrupt data when network hardware was corrupting
packets.

We believe this was added as an optimization to skip computing and
verifying checksums for communication between containers. However, locally
generated packets have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, so the code as
written does nothing for them. As far as we can tell, after removing this
code, these packets are transmitted from one stack to another unmodified
(tcpdump shows invalid checksums on both sides, as expected), and they are
delivered correctly to applications. We didn’t test every possible network
configuration, but we tried a few common ones such as bridging containers,
using NAT between the host and a container, and routing from hardware
devices to containers. We have effectively deployed this in production at
Twitter (by disabling RX checksum offloading on veth devices).

This code dates back to the first version of the driver, commit
<e314dbdc1c0dc6a548ecf> ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver"), so I
suspect this bug occurred mostly because the driver API has evolved
significantly since then. Commit <0b7967503dc97864f283a> ("net/veth: Fix
packet checksumming") (in December 2010) fixed this for packets that get
created locally and sent to hardware devices, by not changing
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. However, the same issue still occurs for packets coming
in from hardware devices.

Toshiaki Makita 8d0d21f405 veth: Fix vlan_features so as to be able to use stacked vlan interfaces
Even if we create a stacked vlan interface such as veth0.10.20, it sends
single tagged frames (tagged with only vid 10).
Because vlan_features of a veth interface has the
NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CTAG/STAG]_TX bits, veth0.10 also has that feature, so
dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) doesn't call __vlan_put_tag() and
vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) overwrites vlan_tci.
This prevents us from using a combination of 802.1ad and 802.1Q
in containers, etc.

John Stultz 827da44c61 net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdep
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.

The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.

This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.

Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Feedback would be appreciated!

So we must check if peer was setup in veth_get_stats64()

As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, priv->peer is missing proper
synchronization. Adding RCU protection is a safe and well documented
way to make sure we don't access about to be freed or already

Eric Dumazet 8093315a91 veth: extend device features
veth is lacking most modern facilities, like SG, checksums, TSO.

It makes sense to extend dev->features to get them, or GRO aggregation
is defeated by a forced segmentation.

Eric Dumazet 2681128f0c veth: reduce stat overhead
veth stats are a bit bloated. There is no need to account transmit
and receive stats, since they are absolutely symmetric.

Also use a per device atomic64_t for the dropped counter, as it
should never be used in fast path.

Rami Rosen c07135633b rtnelink: remove unused parameter from rtnl_create_link().
This patch removes an unused parameter (src_net) from rtnl_create_link()
method and from the method single invocation, in veth.
This parameter was used in the past when calling
ops->get_tx_queues(src_net, tb) in rtnl_create_link().
The get_tx_queues() member of rtnl_link_ops was replaced by two methods,
get_num_tx_queues() and get_num_rx_queues(), which do not get any
parameter. This was done in commit d40156aa5e by
Jiri Pirko ("rtnl: allow to specify different num for rx and tx queue count").

Pavel Emelyanov e6f8f1a739 veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex
The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago),
so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it.

Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and
userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally
because the value clashes with an existing interface.

To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for
the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should
explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as
well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is
preserved.

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

Neil Horman 550fd08c2c net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared
After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags
