[PATCH net-next 0/6] ipv6: Add lockless UDP send path

[PATCH net-next 0/6] ipv6: Add lockless UDP send path

[Vladislav Yasevich]

This series introduces a lockless UDPv6 send path similar to
what Herbert Xu did for IPv4 a while ago.

There are some difference from IPv4.  IPv6 caching for flow
label is a bit different, as well as it requires another cork
cork structure that holds the IPv6 ancillary data.

Please take a look.

Thanks

Vladislav Yasevich (5):
  ipv6: pull cork initialization into its own function.
  ipv6: Append sending data to arbitrary queue
  ipv6: introduce ipv6_make_skb
  ipv6: Introduce udpv6_send_skb()
  udpv6: Add lockless sendmsg() support

[PATCH net-next 1/6] ipv6: pull cork initialization into its own function.

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Pull IPv6 cork initialization into its own function that
can be re-used.  IPv6 specific cork data did not have an
explicit data structure.  This patch creats eone so that
just ipv6 cork data can be as arguemts.  Also, since
IPv6 tries to save the flow label into inet_cork_full
tructure, pass the full cork.

Adjust ip6_cork_release() to take cork data structures.

[PATCH net-next 2/6] ipv6: Append sending data to arbitrary queue

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Add the ability to append data to arbitrary queue.  This

[PATCH net-next 3/6] ipv6: introduce ipv6_make_skb

[Vladislav Yasevich]

This commit is very similar to
commit 1c32c5ad6fac8cee1a77449f5abf211e911ff830
Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Date:   Tue Mar 1 02:36:47 2011 +0000

    inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb

It adds IPv6 version of the helpers ip6_make_skb and ip6_finish_skb.

The job of ip6_make_skb is to collect messages into an ipv6 packet
and poplulate ipv6 eader.  The job of ip6_finish_skb is to transmit
the generated skb.  Together they replicated the job of
ip6_push_pending_frames() while also provide the capability to be
called independently.  This will be needed to add lockless UDP sendmsg
support.

[PATCH net-next 4/6] ipv6: Introduce udpv6_send_skb()

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Now that we can individually construct IPv6 skbs to send, add a
udpv6_send_skb() function to populate the udp header and send the
skb.  This allows udp_v6_push_pending_frames() to re-use this
function as well as enables us to add lockless sendmsg() support.

[PATCH net-next 5/6] udpv6: Add lockless sendmsg() support

[Vladislav Yasevich]

This commit adds the same functionaliy to IPv6 that
commit 903ab86d195cca295379699299c5fc10beba31c7
Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Date:   Tue Mar 1 02:36:48 2011 +0000

    udp: Add lockless transmit path

added to IPv4.

UDP transmit path can now run without a socket lock,
thus allowing multiple threads to send to a single socket
more efficiently.
This is only used when corking/MSG_MORE is not used.

    You should use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() here, I think.

That particular code was stolen from ipv4/udp.c.  You are
right, we can use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() and simplify the following
check as well.

Will fix.

[PATCH net-next 6/6] ipv6: Allow for partial checksums on non-ufo packets

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Currntly, if we are not doing UFO on the packet, all UDP
packets will start with CHECKSUM_NONE and thus perform full
checksum computations in software even if device support
IPv6 checksum offloading.

Let's start start with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL if the device
supports it and we are sending only a single packet at
or below mtu size.

This patch causes ICMPv6 checksumming issues for me.

On my tg3 device and on a qemu VM with e1000 emulation, outgoing pings
have a bad checksum.  Router solicitations also have a bad checksum,
so autoconf fails.  When I revert this patch, or when I disable
tx-checksumming with ethtool, everything looks okay again.

On tg3, replies to ping seem always good.

On e1000, replies to ping work (more or less).  Sometimes the checksum
is bad, sometimes it's good.

I've seen a few strange source addresses, but I don't know if it's
related.

This could be a driver issue, or just exposing another problem
somewhere else, I don't know.

Any idea?

[PATCH] ipv6: Partial checksum only UDP packets

[Vladislav Yasevich]

ip6_append_data is used by other protocols and some of them can't
be partially checksummed.  Only partially checksum UDP protocol.

Fixes: 32dce968dd987a (ipv6: Allow for partial checksums on non-ufo packets)

not a big deal, but since there's a small problem with this version
(see below):

                        ^^^

should be  sk->sk_protocol


And you can add:

This looks good to me, applied, thanks Vlad.
