0287587884 net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

fcbeb976d7 net: introduce netdevice gso_min_segs attribute
Some TSO engines might have a too heavy setup cost, that impacts
performance on hosts sending small bursts (2 MSS per packet).

This patch adds a device gso_min_segs, allowing drivers to set
a minimum segment size for TSO packets, according to the NIC
performance.

Tested on a mlx4 NIC, this allows to get a ~110% increase of
throughput when sending 2 MSS per packet.

efc98d08e1 fou: eliminate IPv4,v6 specific GRO functions
This patch removes fou[46]_gro_receive and fou[46]_gro_complete
functions. The v4 or v6 variants were chosen for the UDP offloads
based on the address family of the socket this is not necessary
or correct. Alternatively, this patch adds is_ipv6 to napi_gro_skb.
This is set in udp6_gro_receive and unset in udp4_gro_receive. In
fou_gro_receive the value is used to select the correct inet_offloads
for the protocol of the outer IP header.

55a93b3ea7 qdisc: validate skb without holding lock
Validation of skb can be pretty expensive :

GSO segmentation and/or checksum computations.

We can do this without holding qdisc lock, so that other cpus
can queue additional packets.

Trick is that requeued packets were already validated, so we carry
a boolean so that sch_direct_xmit() can validate a fresh skb list,
or directly use an old one.

Tested on 40Gb NIC (8 TX queues) and 200 concurrent flows, 48 threads
host.

Turning TSO on or off had no effect on throughput, only few more cpu
cycles. Lock contention on qdisc lock disappeared.

Same if disabling TX checksum offload.

53e5039896 net: Remove gso_send_check as an offload callback
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.

5075314e4e dsa: Split ops up, and avoid assigning tag_protocol and receive separately
This change addresses several issues.

First, it was possible to set tag_protocol without setting the ops pointer.
To correct that I have reordered things so that rcv is now populated before
we set tag_protocol.

Second, it didn't make much sense to keep setting the device ops each time a
new slave was registered.  So by moving the receive portion out into root
switch initialization that issue should be addressed.

Third, I wanted to avoid sending tags if the rcv pointer was not registered
so I changed the tag check to verify if the rcv function pointer is set on
the root tree.  If it is then we start sending DSA tagged frames.

Finally I split the device ops pointer in the structures into two spots.  I
placed the rcv function pointer in the root switch since this makes it
easiest to access from there, and I placed the xmit function pointer in the
slave for the same reason.

46e5da40ae net: qdisc: use rcu prefix and silence sparse warnings
Add __rcu notation to qdisc handling by doing this we can make
smatch output more legible. And anyways some of the cases should
be using rcu_dereference() see qdisc_all_tx_empty(),
qdisc_tx_chainging(), and so on.

Also *wake_queue() API is commonly called from driver timer routines
without rcu lock or rtnl lock. So I added rcu_read_lock() blocks
around netif_wake_subqueue and netif_tx_wake_queue.

d96535a17d net: Infrastructure for checksum unnecessary conversions
For normal path, added skb_checksum_try_convert which is called
to attempt to convert CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. The
primary condition to allow this is that ip_summed is CHECKSUM_NONE
and csum_valid is true, which will be the state after consuming
a CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

For GRO path, added skb_gro_checksum_try_convert which is the GRO
analogue of skb_checksum_try_convert. The primary condition to allow
this is that NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt == 0 and
NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_valid is set. This implies that we have consumed
all available CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY checksums in the GRO path.

5a21232983 net: Support for csum_bad in skbuff
This flag indicates that an invalid checksum was detected in the
packet. __skb_mark_checksum_bad helper function was added to set this.

Checksums can be marked bad from a driver or the GRO path (the latter
is implemented in this patch). csum_bad is checked in
__skb_checksum_validate_complete (i.e. calling that when ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_NONE).

csum_bad works in conjunction with ip_summed value. In the case that
ip_summed is CHECKSUM_NONE and csum_bad is set, this implies that the
first (or next) checksum encountered in the packet is bad. When
ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the first checksum after the last
one validated is bad. For example, if ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY,
csum_level == 1, and csum_bad is set-- then the third checksum in the
packet is bad. In the normal path, the packet will be dropped when
processing the protocol layer of the bad checksum:
__skb_decr_checksum_unnecessary called twice for the good checksums
changing ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE so that
__skb_checksum_validate_complete is called to validate the third
checksum and that will fail since csum_bad is set.

662880f442 net: Allow GRO to use and set levels of checksum unnecessary
Allow GRO path to "consume" checksums provided in CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
and to report new checksums verfied for use in fallback to normal
path.

Change GRO checksum path to track csum_level using a csum_cnt field
in NAPI_GRO_CB. On GRO initialization, if ip_summed is
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt to
skb->csum_level + 1. For each checksum verified, decrement
NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt while its greater than zero. If a checksum
is verfied and NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum_cnt == 0, we have verified a
deeper checksum than originally indicated in skbuf so increment
csum_level (or initialize to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if ip_summed is
CHECKSUM_NONE or CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

In case switch port tagging is disabled (voluntarily, or the switch just
does not support it), allow us to continue using the defined set of
dsa_device_ops in net/dsa/slave.c.

We introduce dsa_protocol_is_tagged() to check whether we need to
override skb->protocol and go through the DSA-specifif packet_type
function, or if we just go on and receive the SKB through the normal
path.

3e8a72d1da net: dsa: reduce number of protocol hooks
DSA is currently registering one packet_type function per EtherType it
needs to intercept in the receive path of a DSA-enabled Ethernet device.
Right now we have three of them: trailer, DSA and eDSA, and there might
be more in the future, this will not scale to the addition of new
protocols.

This patch proceeds with adding a new layer of abstraction and two new
functions:

dsa_switch_rcv() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
receive function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

dsa_slave_xmit() which will dispatch into the tag-protocol specific
transmit function implemented by net/dsa/tag_*.c

When we do create the per-port slave network devices, we iterate over
the switch protocol to assign the DSA-specific receive and transmit
operations.

A new fake ethertype value is used: ETH_P_XDSA to illustrate the fact
that this is no longer going to look like ETH_P_DSA or ETH_P_TRAILER
like it used to be.

This allows us to greatly simplify the check in eth_type_trans() and
always override the skb->protocol with ETH_P_XDSA for Ethernet switches
tagged protocol, while also reducing the number repetitive slave
netdevice_ops assignments.

0b725a2ca6 net: Remove ndo_xmit_flush netdev operation, use signalling instead.
As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the
overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is
non-trivial.

There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the
reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and
then write the device register.

Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications
to the device drivers.

The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means
that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the
current SKB.  And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer
update.

Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero.
