icmp: support rfc 4884

2020-07-20T02:20:22Z

Add setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_4884 to return the offset to an extension struct if present. ICMP messages may include an extension structure after the original datagram. RFC 4884 standardized this behavior. It stores the offset in words to the extension header in u8 icmphdr.un.reserved[1]. The field is valid only for ICMP types destination unreachable, time exceeded and parameter problem, if length is at least 128 bytes and entire packet does not exceed 576 bytes. Return the offset to the start of the extension struct when reading an ICMP error from the error queue, if it matches the above constraints. Do not return the raw u8 field. Return the offset from the start of the user buffer, in bytes. The kernel does not return the network and transport headers, so subtract those. Also validate the headers. Return the offset regardless of validation, as an invalid extension must still not be misinterpreted as part of the original datagram. Note that !invalid does not imply valid. If the extension version does not match, no validation can take place, for instance. For backward compatibility, make this optional, set by setsockopt SOL_IP/IP_RECVERR_RFC4884. For API example and feature test, see github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/recv_icmp_v2.c For forward compatibility, reserve only setsockopt value 1, leaving other bits for additional icmp extensions. Changes v1->v2: - convert word offset to byte offset from start of user buffer - return in ee_data as u8 may be insufficient - define extension struct and object header structs - return len only if constraints met - if returning len, also validate Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S.

y2038: socket: remove timespec reference in timestamping

2019-11-15T13:38:29Z

In order to remove the 'struct timespec' definition and the timespec64_to_timespec() helper function, change over the in-kernel definition of 'struct scm_timestamping' to use the __kernel_old_timespec replacement and open-code the assignment. Acked-by: Deepa Dinamani Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

errqueue.h: Include time_types.h

2019-02-14T16:51:51Z

Now that we have a separate header for struct __kernel_timespec, include it directly without relying on userspace to do it. Reported-by: Ran Rozenstein Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/sched: Make etf report drops on error_queue

2018-07-04T13:30:28Z

Use the socket error queue for reporting dropped packets if the socket has enabled that feature through the SO_TXTIME API. Packets are dropped either on enqueue() if they aren't accepted by the qdisc or on dequeue() if the system misses their deadline. Those are reported as different errors so applications can react accordingly. Userspace can retrieve the errors through the socket error queue and the corresponding cmsg interfaces. A struct sock_extended_err* is used for returning the error data, and the packet's timestamp can be retrieved by adding both ee_data and ee_info fields as e.g.: ((__u64) serr->ee_data << 32) + serr->ee_info This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by applications. Enabling it can bring some overhead for the Tx cycles of the application. Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54Z

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

sock: add MSG_ZEROCOPY

2017-08-04T04:37:29Z

The kernel supports zerocopy sendmsg in virtio and tap. Expand the infrastructure to support other socket types. Introduce a completion notification channel over the socket error queue. Notifications are returned with ee_origin SO_EE_ORIGIN_ZEROCOPY. ee_errno is 0 to avoid blocking the send/recv path on receiving notifications. Add reference counting, to support the skb split, merge, resize and clone operations possible with SOCK_STREAM and other socket types. The patch does not yet modify any datapaths.

net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreams

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK, a request for a tstamp when the last byte in the send() call is acknowledged. It implements the feature for TCP. The timestamp is generated when the TCP socket cumulative ACK is moved beyond the tracked seqno for the first time. The feature ignores SACK and FACK, because those acknowledge the specific byte, but not necessarily the entire contents of the buffer up to that byte.

net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet scheduler

2014-08-05T23:35:54Z

Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler. When data travels through multiple devices (bonding, tunneling, ...) each device will export an individual timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
