2011-08-18vlan: reset headers on accel emulation pathJiri Pirko
It's after all necessary to do reset headers here. The reason is we cannot depend that it gets reseted in __netif_receive_skb once skb is reinjected. For incoming vlanids without vlan_dev, vlan_do_receive() returns false with skb != NULL and __netif_reveive_skb continues, skb is not reinjected. This might be good material for 3.0-stable as well Reported-by: Mike Auty <mike.auty@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-07-27net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING clearedNeil Horman
After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: Karsten Keil <isdn@linux-pingi.de> CC: "David S.

2011-07-14net: remove NETIF_F_ALL_TX_OFFLOADSMichał Mirosław
There is no software fallback implemented for SCTP or FCoE checksumming, and so it should not be passed on by software devices like bridge or bonding. For VLAN devices, this is different. First, the driver for underlying device should be prepared to get offloaded packets even when the feature is disabled (especially if it advertises it in vlan_features). Second, devices under VLANs do not get replaced without tearing down the VLAN first. This fixes a mess I accidentally introduced while converting bonding to ndo_fix_features. NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are removed from BOND_VLAN_FEATURES because they are unused as of commit 712ae51afd. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-11vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR checkJiri Pirko
Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag but rather in vlan_do_receive. Otherwise the vlan header will not be properly put on the packet in the case of vlan header accelleration. As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean. Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof and look at the wrong field. Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats for a multicast packet. Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove the code. Until then this keeps it working correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.

2010-10-21vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.Jesse Gross
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass the stripped tag to a specialized receive function. This is different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping it in the networking core. This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the following: * On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing the header if no group * vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main receive routines * On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic out in upper layers, such as bonding. There are a number of advantages to this: * Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once. * Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode (good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode). * Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely necessary. * Consolidates common code in core networking.

2010-10-21vlan: Avoid hash table lookup to find group.Jesse Gross
A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we always know the device when we are looking up a group. We currently do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is much simpler to just store a pointer. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-21vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID.Jesse Gross
VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs. Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its actual purpose.

2010-10-05net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counterEric Dumazet
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

2010-09-30vlan: dont drop packets from unknown vlans in promiscuous modeEric Dumazet
Roger Luethi noticed packets for unknown VLANs getting silently dropped even in promiscuous mode. Check for promiscuous mode in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() and vlan_gro_common() before drops. As suggested by Patrick, mark such packets to have skb->pkt_type set to PACKET_OTHERHOST to make sure they are dropped by IP stack.
