2013-01-17ipv6: fix header length calculation in ip6_append_data()Romain KUNTZ
Commit 299b0767 (ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem) has introduced a error in the header length calculation that provokes corrupted packets when non-fragmentable extensions headers (Destination Option or Routing Header Type 2) are used. rt->rt6i_nfheader_len is the length of the non-fragmentable extension header, and it should be substracted to rt->dst.header_len, and not to exthdrlen, as it was done before commit 299b0767. This patch reverts to the original and correct behavior. It has been successfully tested with and without IPsec on packets that include non-fragmentable extensions headers.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

2012-08-30netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation handlingPatrick McHardy
The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings. Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then continue their way through the stack. Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only the original fragments are available. The result of this is that fragmented packets are never passed to helpers. This patch improves the situation in the following way: - If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead of the original fragments. - During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored. On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big" message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments were passed through the stack from an outside point of view. - The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr() instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers. The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before. This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses), so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

RFC 4293 defines ipIfStatsOutOctets (similar definition for ipSystemStatsOutOctets): The total number of octets in IP datagrams delivered to the lower layers for transmission. Octets from datagrams counted in ipIfStatsOutTransmits MUST be counted here. And ipIfStatsOutTransmits: The total number of IP datagrams that this entity supplied to the lower layers for transmission. This includes datagrams generated locally and those forwarded by this entity. Therefore, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTOCTETS must be incremented when incrementing IPSTATS_MIB_OUTFORWDATAGRAMS. IP_UPD_PO_STATS is not used since ipIfStatsOutRequests must not include forwarded datagrams: The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.

2012-05-27ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragmentGao feng
Since commit ad0081e43a "ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed" the fragment of packets is incorrect. because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments, while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the first fragment and the trailer to the last. so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first or last. with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu) and does not trigger slow fragment path. Changes from v1: though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete. replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL. add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

2012-05-19ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfragEric Dumazet
If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), we hit a very slow behavior in TCP stack, because all big packets are dropped and only a retransmit timer is able to push one MSS frame every 200 ms. One way to handle this is to disable GSO on the socket the first time a super packet is dropped. Adding a specific dst_allfrag() in the fast path is probably overkill since the dst_allfrag() case almost never happen.

2012-05-18ipv6: ip6_fragment() should check CHECKSUM_PARTIALEric Dumazet
Quoting Tore Anderson from : If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), TCP SYN/ACK packets to that destination appears to get an incorrect TCP checksum. This in turn means they are thrown away as invalid. In the case of an IPv4 client behind a link with a MTU of less than 1260, accessing an IPv6 server through a stateless translator, this means that the client can only download a single large file from the server, because once it is in the server's routing cache with the allfrag feature set, new TCP connections can no longer be established. </endquote> It appears ip6_fragment() doesn't handle CHECKSUM_PARTIAL properly. As network drivers are not prepared to fetch correct transport header, a safe fix is to call skb_checksum_help() before fragmenting packet.

On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a slowpath fragmentation then.

2011-07-14net: Embed hh_cache inside of struct neighbour.David S. Miller
Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour and hh_cache entries, we no longer need: 1) dynamic allocation 2) attachment to dst->hh 3) refcounting Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

2011-05-06inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.David S. Miller
When we fast path datagram sends to avoid locking by putting the inet_cork on the stack we use up lots of space that isn't necessary. This is because inet_cork contains a "struct flowi" which isn't used in these code paths. Split inet_cork to two parts, "inet_cork" and "inet_cork_full". Only the latter of which has the "struct flowi" and is what is stored in inet_sock. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

2011-04-15ipv6: RTA_PREFSRC support for ipv6 route source address selectionDaniel Walter
[ipv6] Add support for RTA_PREFSRC This patch allows a user to select the preferred source address for a specific IPv6-Route. It can be set via a netlink message setting RTA_PREFSRC to a valid IPv6 address which must be up on the device the route will be bound to.

2011-03-12net: Put flowi_* prefix on AF independent members of struct flowiDavid S. Miller
I intend to turn struct flowi into a union of AF specific flowi structs. There will be a common structure that each variant includes first, much like struct sock_common. This is the first step to move in that direction. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
