This patch built on top of Commit 299603e837
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.
Note that commit 60769a5dcd "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.
All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.
The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).

The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

This patch fixes two regressions introduced with the recent rfcomm tty
rework.
The current code uses the carrier_raised() method to wait for the
bluetooth connection when a process opens the tty.
However processes may open the port with the O_NONBLOCK flag or set the
CLOCAL termios flag: in these cases the open() syscall returns
immediately without waiting for the bluetooth connection to
complete.
This behaviour confuses userspace which expects an established bluetooth
connection.
The patch restores the old behaviour by waiting for the connection in
rfcomm_dev_activate() and removes carrier_raised() from the tty_port ops.
As a side effect the new code also fixes the case in which the rfcomm
tty device is created with the flag RFCOMM_REUSE_DLC: the old code
didn't call device_move() and ModemManager skipped the detection
probe. Now device_move() is always called inside rfcomm_dev_activate().

This patch fixes a userspace regression introduced by the commit
29cd718b.
If the rfcomm device was created with the flag RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP the
user space expects that the tty_port is released as soon as the last
process closes the tty.
The current code attempts to release the port in the function
rfcomm_dev_state_change(). However it won't get a reference to the
relevant tty to send a HUP: at that point the tty is already destroyed
and therefore NULL.
This patch fixes the regression by taking over the tty refcount in the
tty install method(). This way the tty_port is automatically released as
soon as the tty is destroyed.
As a consequence the check for RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP flag in the hangup()
method is now redundant. Instead we have to be careful with the reference
counting in the rfcomm_release_dev() function.

br_multicast_set_hash_max() is called from process context in
net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c by the sysfs store_hash_max() function.
br_multicast_set_hash_max() calls spin_lock(&br->multicast_lock),
which can deadlock the CPU if a softirq that also tries to take the
same lock interrupts br_multicast_set_hash_max() while the lock is
held . This can happen quite easily when any of the bridge multicast
timers expire, which try to take the same lock.
The fix here is to use spin_lock_bh(), preventing other softirqs from
executing on this CPU.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a bridge with several interfaces (I used 4).
2. Set the "multicast query interval" to a low number, like 2.
3. Enable the bridge as a multicast querier.
4. Repeatedly set the bridge hash_max parameter via sysfs.

destructor. This causes all tunneled traffic to land up on only one TXQ
as all encapsulated skbs refer to the vxlan socket and not the original
socket. Also, the vxlan skb destructor breaks some functionality for
tunneled traffic like wmem accounting and as TCP small queues and
FQ/pacing packet scheduler.

I reworked Sathya patch and added some explanations.
vxlan_xmit() can avoid one skb_clone()/dev_kfree_skb() pair
and gain better drop monitor accuracy, by calling kfree_skb() when
appropriate.
The UDP socket used by vxlan to perform encapsulation of xmit packets
do not need to be alive while packets leave vxlan code. Its better
to keep original socket ownership to get proper feedback from qdisc and
NIC layers.
We use skb->sk to
A) control amount of bytes/packets queued on behalf of a socket, but
prior vxlan code did the skb->sk transfert without any limit/control
on vxlan socket sk_sndbuf.
B) security purposes (as selinux) or netfilter uses, and I do not think
anything is prepared to handle vxlan stacked case in this area.
By not changing ownership, vxlan tunnels behave like other tunnels.
As Stephen mentioned, we might do the same change in L2TP.

TCP out_of_order_queue lock is not used, as queue manipulation
happens with socket lock held and we therefore use the lockless
skb queue routines (as __skb_queue_head())
We can use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init()
to make this more consistent.

It does not make sense to create an anycast address for an /128-prefix.
Suppress it.
As 32019e651c ("ipv6: Do not leave router anycast address for /127
prefixes.") shows we also may not leave them, because we could accidentally
remove an anycast address the user has allocated or got added via another
prefix.

The existing serial state notification handling expected older Option
devices, having a hardcoded assumption that the Modem port was always
USB interface #2. That isn't true for devices from the past few years.
hso_serial_state_notification is a local cache of a USB Communications
Interface Class SERIAL_STATE notification from the device, and the
USB CDC specification (section 6.3, table 67 "Class-Specific Notifications")
defines wIndex as the USB interface the event applies to. For hso
devices this will always be the Modem port, as the Modem port is the
only port which is set up to receive them by the driver.
So instead of always expecting USB interface #2, instead validate the
notification with the actual USB interface number of the Modem port.
