This patch built on top of Commit 299603e837
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.
Note that commit 60769a5dcd "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.
All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.
The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).
1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 9.16Gbps
CPU utilization: 19%
1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 5.9Gbps
CPU utilization: 15%
1.3 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps
CPU utilization: 12-13%
1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps
CPU utilization: 10%
The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).
2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells)
2.1.1 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload disabled
thruput: 8.53Gbps
CPU utilization: 9%
2.1.2 ethtool -K eth0 gro off; csum offload enabled
thruput: 8.97Gbps
CPU utilization: 7-8%
2.1.3 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload disabled
thruput: 8.83Gbps
CPU utilization: 5-6%
2.1.4 ethtool -K eth0 gro on; csum offload enabled
thruput: 8.98Gbps

ip6_rt_copy only sets dst.from if ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_DEFAULT.
but the prefix routes which did get installed by hand locally can have an
expiration, and no any flag combination which can ensure a potential from
does never expire, so we should always set the new created dst's from.
This also fixes the new created dst is always expired since the ort, which
is created by RA, maybe has RTF_EXPIRES and RTF_ADDRCONF, but no RTF_DEFAULT.

Sockets marked with IPV6_PMTUDISC_PROBE (or later IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE)

We had the same problem in IPv4, which was fixed in commit
daba287b29 ("ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu

Also IPV6_DONTFRAG mode did not care about already corked data, thus
it may generate a fragmented frame even if this socket option was
specified. It also did not care about the length of the ipv6 header and
possible options.
In the error path allow the user to receive the pmtu notifications via
both, rxpmtu method or error queue. The user may opted in for both,
so deliver the notification to both error handlers (the handlers check
if the error needs to be enqueued).
Also report back consistent pmtu values when sending on an already

This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header"
and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow
an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the
encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP
tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later.
With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on
skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g.,
skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the
the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for
a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new
encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows
(e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a
different hdr length.
Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and
will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at
most one "transport layer" in the encap chain.

RFC 4191 states in 3.5:
When a host avoids using any non-reachable router X and instead sends
a data packet to another router Y, and the host would have used
router X if router X were reachable, then the host SHOULD probe each
such router X's reachability by sending a single Neighbor
Solicitation to that router's address. A host MUST NOT probe a
router's reachability in the absence of useful traffic that the host
would have sent to the router if it were reachable. In any case,
these probes MUST be rate-limited to no more than one per minute per
router.
Currently, when the neighbour corresponding to a router falls into
NUD_FAILED, it's never considered again. Introduce a new rt6_nud_state
value, RT6_NUD_FAIL_PROBE, which suggests the route should not be used but
should be probed with a single NS. The probe is ratelimited by the existing
code. To better distinguish meanings of the failure values, rename
RT6_NUD_FAIL_SOFT to RT6_NUD_FAIL_DO_RR.

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with

updating the header comments anytime the address changes.
