Receiving a GSO packet in dev_gro_receive() is not uncommon
in stacked devices, or devices partially implementing LRO/GRO
like bnx2x. GRO is implementing the aggregation the device
was not able to do itself.
Current code causes reorders, like in following case :
For a given flow where sender sent 3 packets P1,P2,P3,P4
Receiver might receive P1 as a single packet, stored in GRO engine.
Then P2-P4 are received as a single GSO packet, immediately given to
upper stack, while P1 is held in GRO engine.
This patch will make sure P1 is given to upper stack, then P2-P4
immediately after.

Mellanox 100G SRIOV offloads tunnel_key set/release
From Hadar Hen Zion:
This series further enhances the SRIOV TC offloads of mlx5 to handle the
TC tunnel_key release and set actions.
This serves a common use-case in virtualization systems where the virtual
switch encapsulate packets (tunnel_key set action) sent from VMs with
outer headers corresponding to the local/remote host IPs and de-capsulate
(tunnel_key release) outer headers before the packets are received by the
VM.
We use the new E-Switch switchdev mode and TC tunnel_key set/release
action to achieve that also in SW defined SRIOV environments by
offloading TC rules that contain these actions along with forwarding
(TC mirred/redirect action) the packets.
The first six patches are adding the needed support in flow dissector,
flower and tc for offloading tunnel_key actions:
- The first three patches are adding the needed help functions
and enums
- The next three patches in the series are adding UDP port attribute
to tunnel_key release and set actions.
The addition of UDP ports would allow the HW driver to make sure they are
given (say) a VXLAN tunnel to offload (mlx5e uses that).
Patches 7-10 are mlx5 preparations for tunnel_key actions offloads support.
Patch #11 adds mlx5e support to offload tunnel_key release action, and the
last two patches (#12-13) add mlx5e support to tc tunnel_key set action.
Currently in order to offload tc tunnel_key release action, the tc rule
should be placed on top of the mlx5e offloading (uplink) interface instead
of the shared tunnel interface. The resolution between the tunnel interface
to the HW netdevice will be implemented in a follow up series.
This series was generated against commit
94edc86bf1 ("Merge branch 'dwmac-sti-refactor-cleanup'")
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
In mlx5 HW, encapsulation is offloaded by the steering rule having
index into an encapsulation table containing the entire set of headers
to be added by the HW. The driver sets these headers in a buffer when we
are offloading the action.
The code maintains mlx5_encap_entry for each encap header it has
encountered when attempted to offload TC tunnel set action.
This entry maintains a linked list of all the flows sharing the same
encap header, when the last flow is removed from the list the encap
entry is removed.
The actual encap_header is allocated by the driver in the hardware only
if we have layer two neighbour info when the encap entry is created.
While the flow is in the driver, the driver holds a reference on the
neighbour.
When a new flow with encap action is inserted, the code first checks if
the required encap entry exists according to the tunnel set parameters.
If it does the encap is shared, otherwise a new mlx5_encap_entry is
created.
TC action parsing implementation in the driver assumes that tunnel set
action is provided in the same order set by the user, e.g before the
mirred_redirect action.

Being able to lock the socket allows to provide consistent set

held any more when tcp_get_info() is called.
We can remove syncp added in commit d654976cbf

Do not set sk_err when dequeuing errors from the error queue.
Doing so results in:
a) Bugs: By overwriting existing sk_err values, it possibly
hides legitimate errors. It is also incorrect when local
errors are queued with ip_local_error. That happens in the
context of a system call, which already returns the error
code.
b) Inconsistent behavior: When there are pending errors on
the error queue, sk_err is sometimes 0 (e.g., for
the first timestamp on the error queue) and sometimes
set to an error code (after dequeuing the first
timestamp).
c) Suboptimality: Setting sk_err to ENOMSG on simple
TX timestamps can abort parallel reads and writes.
Removing this line doesn't break userspace. This is because
userspace code cannot rely on sk_err for detecting whether
there is something on the error queue. Except for ICMP messages
received for UDP and RAW, sk_err is not set at enqueue time,
and as a result sk_err can be 0 while there are plenty of
errors on the error queue.
For ICMP packets in UDP and RAW, sk_err is set when they are
enqueued on the error queue, but that does not result in aborting
reads and writes. For such cases, sk_err is only readable via
getsockopt(SO_ERROR) which will reset the value of sk_err on
its own. More importantly, prior to this patch,
recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE) has a race on setting sk_err (i.e.,
sk_err is set by sock_dequeue_err_skb without atomic ops or
locks) which can store 0 in sk_err even when we have ICMP
messages pending. Removing this line from sock_dequeue_err_skb
eliminates that race.

qdisc and tx_queue_len cleanups for IFF_NO_QUEUE devices
This patchset is a cleanup for IFF_NO_QUEUE devices. It will
hopefully help userspace get a more consistent behavior when attaching
qdisc to such virtual devices.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
It is a clear misconfiguration to attach a qdisc to a device with
tx_queue_len zero, because some qdisc's (namely, pfifo, bfifo, gred,
htb, plug and sfb) inherit/copy this value as their queue length.
Why should the kernel catch such a misconfiguration? Because prior to
introducing the IFF_NO_QUEUE device flag, userspace found a loophole
in the qdisc config system that allowed them to achieve the equivalent
of IFF_NO_QUEUE, which is to remove the qdisc code path entirely from
a device. The loophole on older kernels is setting tx_queue_len=0,
*prior* to device qdisc init (the config time is significant, simply
setting tx_queue_len=0 doesn't trigger the loophole).
This loophole is currently used by Docker[1] to get better performance
and scalability out of the veth device. The Docker developers were
warned[1] that they needed to adjust the tx_queue_len if ever
attaching a qdisc. The OpenShift project didn't remember this warning
and attached a qdisc, this were caught and fixed in[2].

[2] https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/11126
Instead of fixing every userspace program that used this loophole, and
forgot to reset the tx_queue_len, prior to attaching a qdisc. Let's

The flag IFF_NO_QUEUE marks virtual device drivers that doesn't need a
default qdisc attached, given they will be backed by physical device,
that already have a qdisc attached for pushback.
It is still supported to attach a qdisc to a IFF_NO_QUEUE device, as
this can be useful for difference policy reasons (e.g. bandwidth
limiting containers). For this to work, the tx_queue_len need to have
a sane value, because some qdiscs inherit/copy the tx_queue_len
(namely, pfifo, bfifo, gred, htb, plug and sfb).
Commit a813104d92 ("IFF_NO_QUEUE: Fix for drivers not calling
ether_setup()") caught situations where some drivers didn't initialize
tx_queue_len. The problem with the commit was choosing 1 as the
fallback value.
A qdisc queue length of 1 causes more harm than good, because it
creates hard to debug situations for userspace. It gives userspace a
false sense of a working config after attaching a qdisc. As low
volume traffic (that doesn't activate the qdisc policy) works,
like ping, while traffic that e.g. needs shaping cannot reach the
configured policy levels, given the queue length is too small.
This patch change the value to DEFAULT_TX_QUEUE_LEN, given other
IFF_NO_QUEUE devices (that call ether_setup()) also use this value.
