net: add annotations on hh->hh_len lockless accesses

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec-next

2017-02-17T02:25:49+00:00

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2017-02-16 1) Make struct xfrm_input_afinfo const, nothing writes to it. From Florian Westphal. 2) Remove all places that write to the afinfo policy backend and make the struct const then. From Florian Westphal. 3) Prepare for packet consuming gro callbacks and add ESP GRO handlers. ESP packets can be decapsulated at the GRO layer then. It saves a round through the stack for each ESP packet. Please note that this has a merge coflict between commit 63fca65d0863 ("net: add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops") from net-next and 3d7d25a68ea5 ("xfrm: policy: remove garbage_collect callback") a2817d8b279b ("xfrm: policy: remove family field") from ipsec-next. The conflict can be solved as it is done in linux-next. Please pull or let me know if there are problems. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add a skb_gro_flush_final helper.

2017-02-15T08:39:39+00:00

Add a skb_gro_flush_final helper to prepare for consuming skbs in call_gro_receive. We will extend this helper to not touch the skb if the skb is consumed by a gro callback with a followup patch. We need this to handle the upcomming IPsec ESP callbacks as they reinject the skb to the napi_gro_receive asynchronous. The handler is used in all gro_receive functions that can call the ESP gro handlers. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

net: introduce device min_header_len

2017-02-08T18:56:37+00:00

The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter than the minimum link layer header length. Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols removed the min length check for all protocols. Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to net-next.

net: add devm version of alloc_etherdev_mqs function

2017-01-30T00:24:12+00:00

This patch adds devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs function and devm_alloc_etherdev macro. These can be used for simpler netdev allocation without having to care about calling free_netdev. Thanks to this change drivers, their error paths and removal paths may get simpler by a bit. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: make default TX queue length a defined constant

2016-11-08T01:15:55+00:00

The default TX queue length of Ethernet devices have been a magic constant of 1000, ever since the initial git import. Looking back in historical trees[1][2] the value used to be 100, with the same comment "Ethernet wants good queues". The commit[3] that changed this from 100 to 1000 didn't describe why, but from conversations with Robert Olsson it seems that it was changed when Ethernet devices went from 100Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s, because the link speed increased x10 the queue size were also adjusted. This value later caused much heartache for the bufferbloat community. This patch merely moves the value into a defined constant.

net: add recursion limit to GRO

2016-10-20T18:32:22+00:00

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive handlers. This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this problem. Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers. This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack overflow. When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is aborted for this skb and it is processed normally. This recursion counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter if we run out of space in the CB. Thanks to Vladimír Beneš for the initial bug report.
