2020-11-04net: hdlc_fr: Add support for any EthertypeXie He1-26/+49
Change the fr_rx function to make this driver support any Ethertype when receiving skbs on normal (non-Ethernet-emulating) PVC devices. (This driver is already able to handle any Ethertype when sending.) Originally in the fr_rx function, the code that parses the long (10-byte) header only recognizes a few Ethertype values and drops frames with other Ethertype values. This patch replaces this code to make fr_rx support any Ethertype. This patch also creates a new function fr_snap_parse as part of the new code.

2020-11-04net: hdlc_fr: Improve the initial checks when we receive an skbXie He1-1/+1
1. Change the skb->len check from "<= 4" to "< 4". At first we only need to ensure a 4-byte header is present. We indeed normally need the 5th byte, too, but it'd be more logical and cleaner to check its existence when we actually need it. 2. Add an fh->ea2 check to the initial checks in fr_rx. fh->ea2 == 1 means the second address byte is the final address byte. We only support the case where the address length is 2 bytes.

2020-11-04net: hdlc_fr: Do skb_reset_mac_header for skbs received on normal PVC devicesXie He1-0/+3
When an skb is received on a normal (non-Ethernet-emulating) PVC device, call skb_reset_mac_header before we pass it to upper layers. This is because normal PVC devices don't have header_ops, so any header we have would not be visible to upper layer code when sending, so the header shouldn't be visible to upper layer code when receiving, either.

2020-11-04net: hdlc_fr: Change the use of "dev" in fr_rx to make the code cleanerXie He1-17/+20
The eth_type_trans function is called when we receive frames carrying Ethernet frames. This function expects a non-NULL pointer as an argument, and assigns it directly to skb->dev. However, the code handling other types of frames first assigns the pointer to "dev", and then at the end checks whether the value is NULL, and if it is not NULL, assigns it to skb->dev. The two flows are different. Mixing them in this function makes the code messy. It's better that we convert the second flow to align with how eth_type_trans does things. So this patch changes the code to: first make sure the pointer is not NULL, then assign it directly to skb->dev. "dev" is no longer needed until the end where we use it to update stats.

2020-11-04net: hdlc_fr: Simpify fr_rx by using "goto rx_drop" to drop framesXie He1-9/+6
When the fr_rx function drops a received frame (because the protocol type is not supported, or because the PVC virtual device that corresponds to the DLCI number and the protocol type doesn't exist), the function frees the skb and returns. The code for freeing the skb and returning is repeated several times, this patch uses "goto rx_drop" to replace them so that the code looks cleaner.

2020-10-10drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Move the skb_headroom check out of fr_hard_headerXie He1-13/+17
Move the skb_headroom check out of fr_hard_header and into pvc_xmit. This has two benefits: 1. Originally we only do this check for skbs sent by users on Ethernet- emulating PVC devices. After the change we do this check for skbs sent on normal PVC devices, too. (Also add a comment to make it clear that this is only a protection against upper layers that don't take dev->needed_headroom into account. Such upper layers should be rare and I believe they should be fixed.) 2. After the change we can simplify the parameter list of fr_hard_header. We no longer need to use a pointer to pointers (skb_p) because we no longer need to replace the skb inside fr_hard_header.

2020-10-05drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Improvements to the code of pvc_xmitXie He1-28/+26
1. Keep the code for the normal (non-error) flow at the lowest indentation level. And use "goto drop" for all error handling. 2. Replace code that pads short Ethernet frames with a "__skb_pad" call. 3. Change "dev_kfree_skb" to "kfree_skb" in error handling code. "kfree_skb" is the correct function to call when dropping an skb due to an error. "dev_kfree_skb", which is an alias of "consume_skb", is for dropping skbs normally (not due to an error).

2020-10-02drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Correctly handle special skb->protocol valuesXie He1-47/+51
The fr_hard_header function is used to prepend the header to skbs before transmission. It is used in 3 situations: 1) When a control packet is generated internally in this driver; 2) When a user sends an skb on an Ethernet-emulating PVC device; 3) When a user sends an skb on a normal PVC device. These 3 situations need to be handled differently by fr_hard_header. Different headers should be prepended to the skb in different situations. Currently fr_hard_header distinguishes these 3 situations using skb->protocol. For situation 1 and 2, a special skb->protocol value will be assigned before calling fr_hard_header, so that it can recognize these 2 situations. All skb->protocol values other than these special ones are treated by fr_hard_header as situation 3. However, it is possible that in situation 3, the user sends an skb with one of the special skb->protocol values. In this case, fr_hard_header would incorrectly treat it as situation 1 or 2. This patch tries to solve this issue by using skb->dev instead of skb->protocol to distinguish between these 3 situations. For situation 1, skb->dev would be NULL; for situation 2, skb->dev->type would be ARPHRD_ETHER; and for situation 3, skb->dev->type would be ARPHRD_DLCI. This way fr_hard_header would be able to distinguish these 3 situations correctly regardless what skb->protocol value the user tries to use in situation 3.

2020-09-18drivers/net/wan/hdlc: Set skb->protocol before transmittingXie He1-0/+3
This patch sets skb->protocol before transmitting frames on the HDLC device, so that a user listening on the HDLC device with an AF_PACKET socket will see outgoing frames' sll_protocol field correctly set and consistent with that of incoming frames. 1. Control frames in hdlc_cisco and hdlc_ppp When these drivers send control frames, skb->protocol is not set. This value should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving control frames, their skb->protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, which then calls cisco_type_trans or ppp_type_trans. The skb->protocol of control frames is set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC) so that the control frames can be received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls cisco_rx or ppp_rx to process the control frames. 2. hdlc_fr When this driver sends control frames, skb->protocol is set to internal values used in this driver. When this driver sends data frames (from upper stacked PVC devices), skb->protocol is the same as that of the user data packet being sent on the upper PVC device (for normal PVC devices), or is htons(ETH_P_802_3) (for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices). However, skb->protocol for both control frames and data frames should be set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC), because when receiving, all frames received on the HDLC device will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). When receiving, hdlc_type_trans in hdlc.h is called, and because this driver doesn't provide a type_trans function in struct hdlc_proto, all frames will have their skb->protocol set to htons(ETH_P_HDLC). The frames are then received by hdlc_rcv in hdlc.c, which calls fr_rx to process the frames (control frames are consumed and data frames are re-received on upper PVC devices).

2020-09-05drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Add needed_headroom for PVC devicesXie He1-1/+2
PVC devices are virtual devices in this driver stacked on top of the actual HDLC device. They are the devices normal users would use. PVC devices have two types: normal PVC devices and Ethernet-emulating PVC devices. When transmitting data with PVC devices, the ndo_start_xmit function will prepend a header of 4 or 10 bytes. Currently this driver requests this headroom to be reserved for normal PVC devices by setting their hard_header_len to 10. However, this does not work when these devices are used with AF_PACKET/RAW sockets. Also, this driver does not request this headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices (but deals with this problem by reallocating the skb when needed, which is not optimal). This patch replaces hard_header_len with needed_headroom, and set needed_headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices, too. This makes the driver to request headroom for all PVC devices in all cases.

2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller1-1/+1
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

2009-05-19net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet1-0/+1
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-04WAN: convert drivers to use built-in netdev_statsKrzysztof Halasa1-19/+10
There is no point in using separate net_device_stats structs when the one in struct net_device is present. Compiles. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Hałasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-07-04Add missing skb->dev assignment in Frame Relay RX codeKrzysztof Halasa1-0/+1
Commit 4c13eb6657fe9ef7b4dc8f1a405c902e9e5234e0 ([ETH]: Make eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans) removed skb->dev assignment from hdlc_fr.c:fr_rx(). Unfortunately it was also needed for cases other than eth_type_trans(). Adding it back. It's quite serious and may be a security risk as it causes a wrong input interface indication (the physical hdlcX instead of logical pvcX). Probably -stable class fix.

2008-04-25Removing dead code in drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr.cCédric Augonnet1-4/+0
The local variable "prefix" is never used anymore, and the content of this string appears a bit later, directly in a call to "alloc_netdev" after doing exactly the same if/else test. So there seems to be no point keeping those 4 lines anymore.

2007-04-26[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2007-04-26[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
