| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is: This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from "dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction. This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6 will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO. In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't get TSO packets created by TCP layer. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet. SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature. UFO is supported over IPv6 also The following table shows there is significant improvement in throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo. -------------------------------------------------- | | 1500 | 9600 | | ------------------|-------------------| | | thru CPU | thru CPU | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO OFF | 2.00 5.5% id | 5.66 20.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO ON | 2.63 78.0 id | 5.67 39.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * [NET]: Generalise TSO-specific bits from skb_setup_capsHerbert Xu2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO. The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock caps field at the moment.

* [NET]: Add ECN support for TSOMichael Chan2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the first packet only if it is set in the TSO header. This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev-> features flag. All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first segment. With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>. Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock flag is completely removed.

* [TCP]: Export accept queue len of a TCP listening socket via rx_queueSridhar Samudrala2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | While debugging a TCP server hang issue, we noticed that currently there is no way for a user to get the acceptq backlog value for a TCP listen socket. All the standard networking utilities that display socket info like netstat, ss and /proc/net/tcp have 2 fields called rx_queue and tx_queue. These fields do not mean much for listening sockets. This patch uses one of these unused fields(rx_queue) to export the accept queue len for listening sockets. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NETLINK]: Encapsulate eff_cap usage within security framework.Darrel Goeddel2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside of the lsm modules to use the interface. It also updates the SELinux implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct. This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks. Please apply, for 2.6.18 if possible.

* [NET]: Added GSO header verificationHerbert Xu2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

* [NET]: Fix CHECKSUM_HW GSO problems.Herbert Xu2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix checksum problems in the GSO code path for CHECKSUM_HW packets. The ipv4 TCP pseudo header checksum has to be adjusted for GSO segmented packets. The adjustment is needed because the length field in the pseudo-header changes. However, because we have the inequality oldlen > newlen, we know that delta = (u16)~oldlen + newlen is still a 16-bit quantity. This also means that htonl(delta) + th->check still fits in 32 bits. Therefore we don't have to use csum_add on this operations. This is based on a patch by Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>.

* [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use itPaul Mackerras2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

* [IPSEC]: Handle GSO packetsHerbert Xu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch segments GSO packets received by the IPsec stack. This can happen when a NIC driver injects GSO packets into the stack which are then forwarded to another host. The primary application of this is going to be Xen where its backend driver may inject GSO packets into dom0. Of course this also can be used by other virtualisation schemes such as VMWare or UML since the tap device could be modified to inject GSO packets received through splice.

* [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buffHerbert Xu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

* | [TCP]: TCP Veno congestion controlBin Zhou2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of the cause of packet loss. This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

Available from: http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf Original Author: Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu> See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation. As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms. Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from the original TCP-LP implementation: o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking within cong_avoid. o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped on checking and updating. o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular. o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code. o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in tcp_time_stamp format.

* | [NETFILTER]: H.323 helper: replace internal_net_addr parameter by ↵Patrick McHardy2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | routing-based heuristic Call Forwarding doesn't need to create an expectation if both peers can reach each other without our help. The internal_net_addr parameter lets the user explicitly specify a single network where this is true, but is not very flexible and even fails in the common case that calls will both be forwarded to outside parties and inside parties. Use an optional heuristic based on routing instead, the assumption is that if bpth the outgoing device and the gateway are equal, both peers can reach each other directly.
