We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in
host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts
as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like:
host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat
-> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx
When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means
SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso
did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to
inner ip header.
Call Trace:
tcp4_gso_segment ------> return NULL
inet_gso_segment ------> inner iph, network_header points to
ipip_gso_segment
inet_gso_segment ------> outer iph
skb_mac_gso_segment
Afterwards virtio_net transmits the pkt, only inner ip header is modified.
And the outer one just keeps unchanged. The pkt will be dropped in remote
host.

The root cause of this issue is specific with the rare combination of
SKB_GSO_DODGY and a tunnel device that adds an SKB_GSO_ tunnel option.
SKB_GSO_DODGY is set from external virtio_net. We need to reset network
header when callbacks.gso_segment() returns NULL.
This patch also includes ipv6_gso_segment(), considering SIT, etc.

IPv6 GRO considers packets to belong to different flows when their
hop_limit is different. This seems counter-intuitive, the flow is
the same. hop_limit may vary because of various bugs or hacks but
that doesn't mean it's okay for GRO to reorder packets.
Practical impact of this problem on overall TCP performance
is unclear, but TCP itself detects this reordering and bumps
TCPSACKReorder resulting in user complaints.
Eric warns that there may be performance regressions in setups
which do packet spraying across links with similar RTT but different
hop count. To be safe let's target -next and not treat this
as a fix. If the packet spraying is using flow label there should
be no difference in behavior as flow label is checked first.
Note that the code plays an easy to miss trick by upcasting next_hdr
to a u16 pointer and compares next_hdr and hop_limit in one go.

When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the
skb->mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet
drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in
combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets.
This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header
will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in
skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the
outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len.
Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6
gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header.

Implement generic segmentation offload support for udp datagrams. A
follow-up patch adds support to the protocol stack to generate such

UDP GSO is not UFO. UFO fragments a single large datagram. GSO splits
a large payload into a number of discrete UDP datagrams.
The implementation adds a GSO type SKB_UDP_GSO_L4 to differentiate it
from UFO (SKB_UDP_GSO).
IPPROTO_UDPLITE is excluded, as that protocol has no gso handler

The gso code of several tunnels type (gre and udp tunnels)
takes for granted that the skb->inner_protocol is properly
initialized and drops the packet elsewhere.
On the forwarding path no one is initializing such field,
so gro encapsulated packets are dropped on forward.
Since commit 3872035241 ("gre: Use inner_proto to obtain
inner header protocol"), this can be reproduced when the
encapsulated packets use gre as the tunneling protocol.
The issue happens also with vxlan and geneve tunnels since
commit 8bce6d7d0d ("udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment"), if the
forwarding host's ingress nic has h/w offload for such tunnel
and a vxlan/geneve device is configured on top of it, regardless
of the configured peer address and vni.

field for encapsulated packets in both ipv4 and ipv6 gro complete

The GRO fast path caches the frag0 address. This address becomes
invalid if frag0 is modified by pskb_may_pull or its variants.
So whenever that happens we must disable the frag0 optimization.
This is usually done through the combination of gro_header_hard
and gro_header_slow, however, the IPv6 extension header path did
the pulling directly and would continue to use the GRO fast path
incorrectly.
This patch fixes it by disabling the fast path when we enter the

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.

This patch adds support for something I am referring to as GSO partial.
The basic idea is that we can support a broader range of devices for
segmentation if we use fixed outer headers and have the hardware only
really deal with segmenting the inner header. The idea behind the naming
is due to the fact that everything before csum_start will be fixed headers,
and everything after will be the region that is handled by hardware.
With the current implementation it allows us to add support for the
following GSO types with an inner TSO_MANGLEID or TSO6 offload:
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM
NETIF_F_GSO_IPIP
NETIF_F_GSO_SIT
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM
In the case of hardware that already supports tunneling we may be able to
extend this further to support TSO_TCPV4 without TSO_MANGLEID if the
hardware can support updating inner IPv4 headers.

This patch does two things.
First it allows TCP to aggregate TCP frames with a fixed IPv4 ID field. As
a result we should now be able to aggregate flows that were converted from
IPv6 to IPv4. In addition this allows us more flexibility for future
implementations of segmentation as we may be able to use a fixed IP ID when
segmenting the flow.
The second thing this does is that it places limitations on the outer IPv4
ID header in the case of tunneled frames. Specifically it forces the IP ID
to be incrementing by 1 unless the DF bit is set in the outer IPv4 header.
This way we can avoid creating overlapping series of IP IDs that could
possibly be fragmented if the frame goes through GRO and is then
resegmented via GSO.

In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with
IP ID mangling. Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the
option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed
IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was. This is useful
in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID
value is maintained.

This patch adds GRO functions (gro_receive and gro_complete) to UDP
sockets. udp_gro_receive is changed to perform socket lookup on a
packet. If a socket is found the related GRO functions are called.
This features obsoletes using UDP offload infrastructure for GRO
(udp_offload). This has the advantage of not being limited to provide
offload on a per port basis, GRO is now applied to whatever individual
UDP sockets are bound to. This also allows the possbility of
"application defined GRO"-- that is we can attach something like
a BPF program to a UDP socket to perfrom GRO on an application

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.
No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.
UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
available to the output path.
A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.
Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.
This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work

pskb_may_pull() maybe change skb->data and make opth pointer oboslete,
so set the opth again

The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and
UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo
header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related
gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed.

Add ipv6_gro_receive and ipv6_gro_complete to sit_offload to
support GRO.

In TCP gro we check flush_id which is derived from the IP identifier.
In IPv4 gro path the flush_id is set with the expectation that every
matched packet increments IP identifier. In IPv6, the flush_id is
never set and thus is uinitialized. What's worse is that in IPv6
over IPv4 encapsulation, the IP identifier is taken from the outer
header which is currently not incremented on every packet for Linux
stack, so GRO in this case never matches packets (identifier is
not increasing).
This patch clears flush_id for every time for a matched packet in
IPv6 gro_receive. We need to do this each time to overwrite the
setting that would be done in IPv4 gro_receive per the outer
header in IPv6 over Ipv4 encapsulation.

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses
coding style issues as detected by checkpatch.
Both objdump and diff -w show no differences.
A number of items are addressed in this patch:
* Multiple spaces converted to tabs
* Spaces before tabs removed.
* Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc.
* Remove space after sizeof
* Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.
