2017-01-08net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void functionstephen hemminger
The network device operation for reading statistics is only called in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could incorrectly assume that the return value was used. Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit b17c706987fa ("loopback: sctp: add NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM to device features") added NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC to device features for lo device to improve the performance of sctp over lo. This patch is to add NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC to device features for veth to improve the performance of sctp over veth.

2016-03-01veth: implement ndo_set_rx_headroomPaolo Abeni
The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom. Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM. This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation. When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device, this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a plain Linux bridge.

2015-12-22veth: don’t modify ip_summed; doing so treats packets with bad checksums ↵Vijay Pandurangan
as good. Packets that arrive from real hardware devices have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if the hardware verified the checksums, or CHECKSUM_NONE if the packet is bad or it was unable to verify it. The current version of veth will replace CHECKSUM_NONE with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which causes corrupt packets routed from hardware to a veth device to be delivered to the application. This caused applications at Twitter to receive corrupt data when network hardware was corrupting packets. We believe this was added as an optimization to skip computing and verifying checksums for communication between containers. However, locally generated packets have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, so the code as written does nothing for them. As far as we can tell, after removing this code, these packets are transmitted from one stack to another unmodified (tcpdump shows invalid checksums on both sides, as expected), and they are delivered correctly to applications. We didn’t test every possible network configuration, but we tried a few common ones such as bridging containers, using NAT between the host and a container, and routing from hardware devices to containers. We have effectively deployed this in production at Twitter (by disabling RX checksum offloading on veth devices). This code dates back to the first version of the driver, commit <e314dbdc1c0dc6a548ecf> ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver"), so I suspect this bug occurred mostly because the driver API has evolved significantly since then. Commit <0b7967503dc97864f283a> ("net/veth: Fix packet checksumming") (in December 2010) fixed this for packets that get created locally and sent to hardware devices, by not changing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. However, the same issue still occurs for packets coming in from hardware devices.

2014-02-20veth: Fix vlan_features so as to be able to use stacked vlan interfacesToshiaki Makita
Even if we create a stacked vlan interface such as veth0.10.20, it sends single tagged frames (tagged with only vid 10). Because vlan_features of a veth interface has the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CTAG/STAG]_TX bits, veth0.10 also has that feature, so dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) doesn't call __vlan_put_tag() and vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) overwrites vlan_tci.

2013-11-06net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement.

2012-08-09veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindexPavel Emelyanov
The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago), so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it. Ben noticed, that this code path previously ignored ifmp->ifi_index and userland could be passing in garbage. Thus it may now fail occasionally because the value clashes with an existing interface. To address this it's assumed that if the caller specifies the ifindex for the veth master device, then it's aware of this possibility and should explicitly specify (or set to 0 for auto-assignment) the peer's ifindex as well. With this the compatibility with old tools not setting ifindex is preserved. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-02-15veth: Enforce minimum size of VETH_INFO_PEERThomas Graf
VETH_INFO_PEER carries struct ifinfomsg plus optional IFLA attributes. A minimal size of sizeof(struct ifinfomsg) must be enforced or we may risk accessing that struct beyond the limits of the netlink message.

2011-11-16net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bitMichał Mirosław
Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here, so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be trusted for performance-critical cases anyway. For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

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.
