* netdev: introduce new NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag for switch ↵Roopa Prabhu2015-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | device offloads This is a high level feature flag for all switch asic offloads switch drivers set this flag on switch ports. Logical devices like bridge, bonds, vxlans can inherit this flag from their slaves/ports. The patch also adds the flag to NETIF_F_ONE_FOR_ALL, so that it gets propagated to the upperdevices (bridges and bonds).

* net: Remove MPLS GSO feature.Pravin B Shelar2014-11-06
| | | | | | | | Device can export MPLS GSO support in dev->mpls_features same way it export vlan features in dev->vlan_features. So it is safe to remove NETIF_F_GSO_MPLS redundant flag. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com>
* udp: Changes to udp_offload to support remote checksum offloadTom Herbert2014-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new GSO type, SKB_GSO_TUNNEL_REMCSUM, which indicates remote checksum offload being done (in this case inner checksum must not be offloaded to the NIC). Added logic in __skb_udp_tunnel_segment to handle remote checksum offload case. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: Fix GSO constants to match NETIF flagsTom Herbert2014-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Joseph Gasparakis reported that VXLAN GSO offload stopped working with i40e device after recent UDP changes. The problem is that the SKB_GSO_* bits are out of sync with the corresponding NETIF flags. This patch fixes that. Also, we add BUILD_BUG_ONs in net_gso_ok for several GSO constants that were missing to avoid the problem in the future.

* gre: Call gso_make_checksumTom Herbert2014-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Call gso_make_checksum. This should have the benefit of using a checksum that may have been previously computed for the packet. This also adds NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM to differentiate devices that offload GRE GSO with and without the GRE checksum offloaed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devicesJohn Fastabend2013-11-07

This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done in hardware more efficiently.

* MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman2013-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8ad227ff89a7 ("net: vlan: add 802.1ad support") added some new NETIF_F_* features bits, but it added them in the middle of existing values.

Configuration is done using "ip link": # ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 \ type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000 # ip link add link eth0.1000 eth0.1000.1000 \ type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000 52:54:00:12:34:56 > 92:b1:54:28:e4:8c, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84) 20.1.0.2 > 20.1.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 3003, seq 8, length 64 92:b1:54:28:e4:8c > 52:54:00:12:34:56, ethertype 802.1Q-QinQ (0x88a8), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 47944, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 84) 20.1.0.1 > 20.1.0.2: ICMP echo reply, id 3003, seq 8, length 64 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

GSO type is added to request this offload for a skb. netdev feature NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL is added for hardware offloaded udp-tunnel support.

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.
