2013-05-31iptunnel: specify protocol outside IP headerNicolas Dichtel3-4/+4

2013-05-31netfilter: Correct calculation using skb->tail and skb-network_headerSimon Horman1-1/+1
This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In that case skb->tail will be a pointer whereas skb->network_header will be an offset from head. This is corrected by using wrappers that ensure that calculations are always made using pointers.

2013-05-31gro: should aggregate frames without DFEric Dumazet1-1/+2
GRO on IPv4 doesn't aggregate frames if they don't have DF bit set. Some servers use IP_MTU_DISCOVER/IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE, so linux receivers are unable to aggregate this kind of traffic. The right thing to do is to allow aggregation as long as the DF bit has same value on all segments. bnx2x LRO does this correctly.

2013-05-31net: Update RFS target at poll for tcp/udpDavid Majnemer2-0/+4
The current state of affairs is that read()/write() will setup RFS (Receive Flow Steering) for internet protocol sockets while poll()/epoll() does not. When poll() gets called with a TCP or UDP socket, we should update the flow target. This permits to RFS (if enabled) to select the appropriate CPU for following incoming packets. Note: Only connected UDP sockets can benefit from RFS.

2013-05-30tcp: fix undo on partial ack in recoveryYuchung Cheng1-26/+33
Upon detecting spurious fast retransmit via timestamps during recovery, use PRR to clock out new data packet instead of retransmission. Once all retransmission are proven spurious, the sender then reverts the cwnd reduction and congestion state to open or disorder. The current code does the opposite: it undoes cwnd as soon as any retransmission is spurious and continues to retransmit until all data are acked. This nullifies the point to undo the cwnd because the sender is still retransmistting spuriously. This patch fixes it. The undo_ssthresh argument of tcp_undo_cwnd_reductiuon() is no longer needed and is removed.

2013-05-30tcp: consolidate PRR packet accountingYuchung Cheng1-25/+20
This patch series fixes an undo bug in fast recovery: the sender mistakenly undos the cwnd too early but continues fast retransmits until all pending data are acked. This also multiplies the SNMP stat PARTIALUNDO events by the degree of the network reordering. The first patch prepares the fix by consolidating the accounting of newly_acked_sacked in tcp_cwnd_reduction(), instead of updating newly_acked_sacked everytime sacked_out is adjusted. Also pass acked and prior_unsacked as const type because they are readonly in the rest of recovery processing.

2013-05-27MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman12-2/+134
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.

2013-05-25net: ipv6: Add IPv6 support to the ping socket.Lorenzo Colitti6-168/+643
This adds the ability to send ICMPv6 echo requests without a raw socket. The equivalent ability for ICMPv4 was added in 2011. Instead of having separate code paths for IPv4 and IPv6, make most of the code in net/ipv4/ping.c dual-stack and only add a few IPv6-specific bits (like the protocol definition) to a new net/ipv6/ping.c. Hopefully this will reduce divergence and/or duplication of bugs in the future. Caveats: - Setting options via ancillary data (e.g., using IPV6_PKTINFO to specify the outgoing interface) is not yet supported. - There are no separate security settings for IPv4 and IPv6; everything is controlled by /proc/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. - The proc interface does not yet display IPv6 ping sockets properly.
