openvswitch: Enable tunnel GSO for OVS bridge.

2014-07-24T08:15:04Z

Following patch enables all available tunnel GSO features for OVS bridge device so that ovs can use hardware offloads available to underling device. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Andy Zhou

net: Fix GSO constants to match NETIF flags

2014-06-15T08:00:49Z

Joseph Gasparakis reported that VXLAN GSO offload stopped working with i40e device after recent UDP changes. The problem is that the SKB_GSO_* bits are out of sync with the corresponding NETIF flags. This patch fixes that. Also, we add BUILD_BUG_ONs in net_gso_ok for several GSO constants that were missing to avoid the problem in the future.

gre: Call gso_make_checksum

2014-06-05T05:46:38Z

Call gso_make_checksum. This should have the benefit of using a checksum that may have been previously computed for the packet. This also adds NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM to differentiate devices that offload GRE GSO with and without the GRE checksum offloaed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add GSO support for UDP tunnels with checksum

2014-06-05T05:46:38Z

Added a new netif feature for GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM. This indicates that a device is capable of computing the UDP checksum in the encapsulating header of a UDP tunnel. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add busy_poll device feature

2014-04-03T18:31:34Z

Currently there is no way how to find out if a device supports busy polling. So add a feature and make it dependent on ndo_busy_poll existence. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vlan: Warn the user if lowerdev has bad vlan features.

2014-03-28T21:16:51Z

Some drivers incorrectly assign vlan acceleration features to vlan_features thus causing issues for Q-in-Q vlan configurations. Warn the user of such cases. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices

2013-11-08T00:11:41Z

Add a operations structure that allows a network interface to export the fact that it supports package forwarding in hardware between physical interfaces and other mac layer devices assigned to it (such as macvlans). This operaions structure can be used by virtual mac devices to bypass software switching so that forwarding can be done in hardware more efficiently.

ipv6: sit: add GSO/TSO support

MPLS: Add limited GSO support

2013-05-28T05:50:59Z

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.
