Soheil Hassas Yeganeh 7b996243fa tun: fix transmit timestamp support
Instead of using sock_tx_timestamp, use skb_tx_timestamp to record
software transmit timestamp of a packet.

sock_tx_timestamp resets and overrides the tx_flags of the skb.
The function is intended to be called from within the protocol
layer when creating the skb, not from a device driver. This is
inconsistent with other drivers and will cause issues for TCP.

In TCP, we intend to sample the timestamps for the last byte
for each sendmsg/sendpage. For that reason, tcp_sendmsg calls
tcp_tx_timestamp only with the last skb that it generates.
For example, if a 128KB message is split into two 64KB packets
we want to sample the SND timestamp of the last packet. The current
code in the tun driver, however, will result in sampling the SND
timestamp for both packets.

Also, when the last packet is split into smaller packets for
retranmission (see tcp_fragment), the tun driver will record
timestamps for all of the retransmitted packets and not only the
last packet.

Craig Gallek 86dfb4acb3 tun: Don't assume type tun in tun_device_event
The referenced change added a netlink notifier for processing
device queue size events.  These events are fired for all devices
but the registered callback assumed they only occurred for tun
devices.  This fix adds a check (borrowed from macvtap.c) to discard
non-tun device events.

For reference, this fixes the following splat:

Jason Wang 1576d98605 tun: switch to use skb array for tx
We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less
efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer
and consumer.

This patch tries to address this by:

- switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when
  tx_queue_len was changed.
- introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the
  skb length.
- implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert
  vhost_net to use peek_len if possible.

Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small
buffers:

Before: ~1300000pps
After : ~1500000pps

The commit 3416609363 ("tuntap: use common code for virtio_net_hdr

invalidate the current gso start/offset values.
Fix it by moving the helper invocation before the mac pulling.

Jason Wang addf8fc4ac tuntap: correctly wake up process during uninit
We used to check dev->reg_state against NETREG_REGISTERED after each
time we are woke up. But after commit 9e641bdcfa ("net-tun:
restructure tun_do_read for better sleep/wakeup efficiency"), it uses
skb_recv_datagram() which does not check dev->reg_state. This will
result if we delete a tun/tap device after a process is blocked in the
reading. The device will wait for the reference count which was held
by that process for ever.

Fixes this by using RCV_SHUTDOWN which will be checked during
sk_recv_datagram() before trying to wake up the process during uninit.

The current tun_net_xmit() implementation don't need any external
lock since it relies on rcu protection for the tun data structure
and on socket queue lock for skb queuing.

This patch set the NETIF_F_LLTX feature bit in the tun device, so
that on xmit, in absence of qdisc, no serialization lock is acquired
by the caller.

The user space can remove the default tun qdisc with:

Soheil Hassas Yeganeh c14ac9451c sock: enable timestamping using control messages
Currently, SOL_TIMESTAMPING can only be enabled using setsockopt.
This is very costly when users want to sample writes to gather
tx timestamps.

Add support for enabling SO_TIMESTAMPING via control messages by
using tsflags added in `struct sockcm_cookie` (added in the previous
patches in this series) to set the tx_flags of the last skb created in
a sendmsg. With this patch, the timestamp recording bits in tx_flags
of the skbuff is overridden if SO_TIMESTAMPING is passed in a cmsg.

Please note that this is only effective for overriding the recording
timestamps flags. Users should enable timestamp reporting (e.g.,
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID) using
socket options and then should ask for SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_*
using control messages per sendmsg to sample timestamps for each
write.

Same can be triggered with PROVE_RCU (+ PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY) enabled
from tun_attach_filter() when user space calls ioctl(tun_fd, TUN{ATTACH,
DETACH}FILTER, ...) for adding/removing a BPF filter on tap devices.

Since the fix in f91ff5b9ff ("net: sk_{detach|attach}_filter() rcu
fixes") sk_attach_filter()/sk_detach_filter() now dereferences the
filter with rcu_dereference_protected(), checking whether socket lock
is held in control path.

Since its introduction in 9940516259 ("tun: socket filter support"),
tap filters are managed under RTNL lock from __tun_chr_ioctl(). Thus the
sock_owned_by_user(sk) doesn't apply in this specific case and therefore
triggers the false positive.

Extend the BPF API with __sk_attach_filter()/__sk_detach_filter() pair
that is used by tap filters and pass in lockdep_rtnl_is_held() for the
rcu_dereference_protected() checks instead.

Paolo Abeni eaea34b23c net/tun: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom
ndo_set_rx_headroom controls the align value used by tun devices to
allocate skbs on frame reception.
When the xmit device adds a large encapsulation, this avoids an skb
head reallocation on forwarding.

The measured improvement when forwarding towards a vxlan dev with
frame size below the egress device MTU is as follow:

vxlan over ipv6, bridged: +6%
vxlan over ipv6, ovs: +7%

In case of ipv4 tunnels there is no improvement, since the tun
device default alignment provides enough headroom to avoid the skb
head reallocation.

Eric Dumazet 9cd3e072b0 net: rename SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA
This patch is a cleanup to make following patch easier to
review.

Goal is to move SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_ASYNC_WAITDATA
from (struct socket)->flags to a (struct socket_wq)->flags
to benefit from RCU protection in sock_wake_async()

To ease backports, we rename both constants.

Two new helpers, sk_set_bit(int nr, struct sock *sk)
and sk_clear_bit(int net, struct sock *sk) are added so that
following patch can change their implementation.

Eric Dumazet 5fcd2d8be4 tun: use sk_fullsock() before reading sk->sk_tsflags
timewait or request sockets are small and do not contain sk->sk_tsflags

Without this fix, we might read garbage, and crash later in

__skb_complete_tx_timestamp()
 -> sock_queue_err_skb()

(These pseudo sockets do not have an error queue either)

Fixes: ca6fb06518 ("tcp: attach SYNACK messages to request sockets instead of listener")

Linus Torvalds 5fc835284d Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost
Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
 "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
  regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
  good time for a merge for -rc1.

  The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
  hosts.  There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:

   - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
     anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.

   - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
     and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
     tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
     stripped binary).

  Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
  prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.  I will look into this"

Greg Kurz 8b8e658b16 macvtap/tun: cross-endian support for little-endian hosts
The VNET_LE flag was introduced to fix accesses to virtio 1.0 headers
that are always little-endian. It can also be used to handle the special
case of a legacy little-endian device implemented by a big-endian host.

Let's add a flag and ioctls for big-endian devices as well. If both flags
are set, little-endian wins.

Since this is isn't a common usecase, the feature is controlled by a kernel
config option (not set by default).

Both macvtap and tun are covered by this patch since they share the same
API with userland.
