commit f07d960d (tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames) breaked assumption in tcp stack that skb is either linear (skb->data_len == 0), or fully fragged (skb->data_len == skb->len) tcp_trim_head() made this assumption, we must fix it. Thanks to Vijay for providing a very detailed explanation. Reported-by:

This patch adds functionality for avoiding orphaning SKB too early. The original skb is stashed away and the original destructor is called from the hi-jacked flow-on callback. If CAIF interface goes down and a hi-jacked SKB exists, the original skb->destructor is restored. Signed-off-by:

Flow control is implemented by inspecting the qdisc queue length in order to detect potential overflow on the TX queue. When a threshold is reached flow-off is sent upwards in the CAIF stack. At the same time the skb->destructor is hi-jacked by orphaning the SKB and the original destructor is replaced with a "flow-on" callback. When the "hi-jacked" SKB is consumed the queue should be empty, and the "flow-on" callback is called and xon is sent upwards in the CAIF stack. Signed-off-by:

NCM 1.0 does not support anything but Ethernet framing, hence CAIF payload will be put into Ethernet frames. Discovery is based on fixed USB vendor 0x04cc (ST-Ericsson), product-id 0x230f (NCM). In this variant only CAIF payload is sent over the NCM interface. The CAIF stack (cfusbl.c) will when USB interface register first check if we got a CDC NCM USB interface with the right VID, PID. It will then read the device's Ethernet address and create a 'template' Ethernet TX header, using a broadcast address as the destination address, and EthType 0x88b5 (802.1 Local Experimental - vendor specific). A protocol handler for 0x88b5 is setup for reception of CAIF frames from the CDC NCM USB interface. Signed-off-by:

Reduce the number of dst_get_neighbour_noref() calls within a single call chain. Primarily by passing the neighbour pointer down to the helper functions. Handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL in ipoib_start_xmit() by incrementing the dropped counter and freeing the packet. We don't want it to fall through into the ARP/RARP/multicast handling, since that should only happen when skb_dst() is NULL. Signed-off-by:

This way we consolidate the RCU locking down into the place where it actually matters, and also we can make the code handle dst_get_neighbour_noref() returning NULL properly. Signed-off-by: -

IPV4 should do exactly what the IPV6 code does here, which is use the neighbour obtained via the dst entry. And now that the two code paths do the same thing, use a common helper function to perform the operation. Signed-off-by:

Transitioning through an IEEE DCBX version from a CEE DCBX and back (CEE->IEEE->CEE) may leave IEEE attributes programmed in the hardware. DCB uses a bit field in the set routines to determine which attributes PG, PFC, APP need to be reprogrammed. This is needed because user flow allows queueing a series of changes and then reprogramming the hardware with the entire set in one operation. When transitioning from IEEE DCBX mode back into CEE DCBX mode the PG and PFC bits need to be set so the possibly different CEE attributes get programmed into the device. This patch fixes broken logic that was evaluating to 0 and never setting any bits. Further this removes some checks for num_tc in set routines. This logic only worked when the number of traffic classes and user priorities were equal. This is no longer the case for X540 devices. Besides we can trust user input in this case if the device is incorrectly configured the DCB bandwidths will be incorrectly mapped but no OOPs, BUG, or hardware failure will occur. Signed-off-by:

The order of operations is important in DCBnl set_all(). When FCoE is configured it uses the up2tc map to learn which queues to configure the hardware offloads on. Therefore we need to setup the map before configuring FCoE. This is only seen when the both up2tc mappings and APP info are configured simultaneously. Signed-off-by:

Based on a patch from Mike McElroy created against the out-of-tree e1000e driver: Hitting the BUG_ON in napi_enable(). Code inspection shows that this can only be triggered by calling napi_enable() twice without an intervening napi_disable(). I saw the following sequence of events in the stack trace: 1) We simulated a cable pull using an Extreme switch. 2) e1000_tx_timeout() was entered. 3) e1000_reset_task() was called. Saw the message from e_err() in the console log. 4) e1000_reinit_locked was called. This function calls e1000_down() and e1000_up(). These functions call napi_disable() and napi_enable() respectively. 5) Then on another thread, a monitor task saw carrier was down and executed 'ip set link down' and 'ip set link up' commands. 6) Saw the '_E1000_RESETTING'warning fron the e1000_close function. 7) Either the e1000_open() executed between the e1000_down() and e1000_up() calls in step 4 or the e1000_open() call executed after the e1000_up() call. In either case, napi_enable() is called twice which triggers the BUG_ON. Signed-off-by:

If our TCP_PAGE(sk) is not shared (page_count() == 1), we can set page offset to 0. This permits better filling of the pages on small to medium tcp writes. "tbench 16" results on my dev server (2x4x2 machine) : Before : 3072 MB/s After : 3146 MB/s (2.4 % gain) Signed-off-by:

We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay aligned. Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER. Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting NET_IP_ALIGN to 0) This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy() Signed-off-by:

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. Signed-off-by:

While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are skipped making them invisible to the caller. This reports the fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is a first or last fragment. Signed-off-by: -
