[PATCH net v2 0/4] net: hsr: fix GRO/GSO super-packet handling

[PATCH net v2 0/4] net: hsr: fix GRO/GSO super-packet handling

[Xin Xie]

HSR/PRP forward frames one by one: each wire frame gets its own tag
or RCT and sequence number, and duplicate discard is per frame. Two
aggregation mechanisms break that per-frame assumption:

* On RX, a lower device that aggregates frames into a GRO
  super-packet feeds the HSR receive and forward paths something
  they cannot handle: frames are dropped, and on memory-constrained
  devices processing super-skbs in softirq context also pressures
  atomic allocation.

* At the forward entry, a GSO super-packet (locally generated on
  the master, or delivered intact by software NICs such as veth)
  would be tagged and forwarded as a single frame, violating
  per-frame wire semantics.

Patch 1 adds netif_disable_gro() and dev_disable_gro() alongside
the existing LRO helpers.  HSR calls the public wrapper at
enslavement time, while the networking core handles the generic
feature update and recursive lower-device traversal. Enslavement to
an HSR/PRP master therefore strips NETIF_F_GRO and NETIF_F_GRO_HW
on the lower device.

Patch 2 is a preparatory locking change with forwarding semantics
unchanged: it shrinks hsr->seqnr_lock from whole hsr_forward_skb()
calls to the individual sequence counter updates, so that the
segmentation work of patch 3 (per-segment allocation, checksums and
forwarding) never runs with BH disabled under the global sequence
lock. Patch 3 depends on patch 2; please keep them together for
stable.

Patch 3 unfolds the remaining GSO super-packets at the forward
entry with the top-level GSO dispatch (__skb_gso_segment()), so
each wire frame still gets its own tag and sequence number.
Segmentation is offered only for ingress roles whose frames are
known to be plain Ethernet: the master (locally generated) and the
interlink (SAN side, untagged). A super-packet from a LAN slave may
carry per-frame HSR tags or PRP RCT trailers that software
segmentation cannot recover, and an already-tagged HSR/PRP
super-packet violates per-frame wire semantics; both are rejected
by ingress-port policy. The HSR master also stops advertising
NETIF_F_GSO_MASK so locally generated traffic is segmented as
early as possible.

Patch 4 adds a kselftest covering the above: GRO disabled on
enslaved devices, no GSO/TSO advertised by the HSR master, and a
TCP stream from a TSO-enabled SAN through an HSR DUT. The stream
evidence is direct: the SAN's TX frame-size average must exceed a
fixed super-packet threshold while the DUT LAN legs' averages stay
below a fixed per-frame guard, which is aggregate evidence that
super-packets entered the forward path and bulk output was
segmented (not a per-frame maximum proof); zero retransmits is
reported as a secondary health signal. The one-shot iperf3 server
is confined to a private mktemp workdir with its real exit status
propagated, so on every path exercised by the test itself (normal
completion, server startup failure, client failure, never-published
PID) no process or directory can leak.

Validation:
* build: W=1 allmodconfig and allyesconfig, base vs patched - no
  new warnings (evidence reused from the bound v1 run: kernel diffs
  are patch-id identical and every compiled input is byte-identical
  to the W=1-bound tree, so no build input changed; not a new
  execution).
* selftests: the final v2 hsr_gro_superpacket passes on QEMU
  x86_64 (the four paths under lifecycle above); hsr_ping,
  prp_ping and hsr_redbox results are reused from the v1 run on
  QEMU x86_64 and physical igb lower devices (kernel diffs are
  byte-identical to that validated set).
* functional: SAN TSO streams unfold per-frame (IPv4, IPv6, VLAN);
  LAN-side aggregates and already-tagged super-packets are dropped
  by ingress-port policy; master/interlink concurrency under
  PROVE_LOCKING is clean; the new counter assertions show
  super-packets entering the forward path and per-frame output on
  both LAN legs (the IPv4/IPv6/VLAN and concurrency results are
  reused v1 evidence; the counter assertions are new v2 evidence).
* lifecycle: normal completion, server startup failure, client
  failure and a never-published server PID all exit bounded with no
  leftover iperf3 or workdir.
* physical igb lower devices (reused v1 evidence, kernel diffs
  byte-identical): GRO stripped at enslavement; force-enabled
  generic GRO super-packets unfold at line rate with a clean dmesg.

Changes in v2:
- Harden the selftest's temporary-file and iperf3 process handling.
- Propagate the iperf3 server status and tighten output parsing.
- Add counter-based evidence that GSO packets enter the HSR forward
  path and are segmented before transmission on the LAN ports.
- Extend the GSO feature checks and fix shellcheck/style findings.
- Regenerate the complete mail set from real kernel commits
  (statistics now machine-generated).
- Kernel diffs in patches 1-3 are unchanged.

[PATCH net v2 1/4] net: hsr: fix packet drops caused by GRO superpackets

[Xin Xie]

HSR/PRP append a 6-byte tag/RCT to every forwarded frame and process
each frame individually (sequence numbering, duplicate discard). When
a lower device aggregates received frames into a GRO super-packet --
in software, or in hardware on GRO_HW-capable NICs -- the HSR
receive/forward path mishandles it: frames are dropped and, on
memory-constrained devices, processing super-skbs in softirq context
can also pressure atomic memory allocation.

The HSR/PRP stack already disables LRO on enslaved devices for the
same reason. Extend that treatment to GRO: add netif_disable_gro()
and dev_disable_gro() mirroring netif_disable_lro()/dev_disable_lro(),
and call dev_disable_gro() from hsr_portdev_setup() so enslavement to
an HSR/PRP master automatically strips NETIF_F_GRO and NETIF_F_GRO_HW
on the lower device (recursively on its own lowers, as with LRO).

[PATCH net v2 2/4] net: hsr: shrink seqnr_lock to sequence counter updates

[Xin Xie]

hsr->seqnr_lock is currently held across entire hsr_forward_skb()
calls: master TX (hsr_dev_xmit()), interlink RX (hsr_handle_frame()),
and both supervision frame builders hold it while frames are built,
classified, duplicated and forwarded on every port. The only state
that actually needs the lock is the sequence counters themselves
(hsr->sequence_nr / hsr->sup_sequence_nr).

Shrink the locking to the individual counter updates:
handle_std_frame() now takes the lock around its sequence number
allocation (replacing the lockdep assertion), the master TX and
interlink RX paths drop their outer lock, and the supervision
builders release the lock right after updating their counter instead
of holding it across frame construction and forwarding.

Sequence numbers remain unique and monotonically allocated per
counter; concurrent inputs may now interleave allocations, which is
fine as the output paths were already concurrent.

This is a prerequisite for unfolding GSO super-packets at the forward
entry: the expensive segmentation work should not extend the global
sequence lock's critical section.

The locking being narrowed here was introduced by
commit 06afd2c31d33 ("hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have
always incremented outgoing seq nr."), briefly removed by
commit b3c9e65eb227 ("net: hsr: remove seqnr_lock") and reinstated
for the interlink RX path after a syzbot lockdep report by
commit 430d67bdcb04 ("net: hsr: Use the seqnr lock for frames
received via interlink port."). All sequence counter updates
remain protected; only the forwarding work moves out of the
critical section.

[PATCH net v2 3/4] net: hsr: unfold GSO super-packets at the forward entry

[Xin Xie]

HSR/PRP forward frames one by one: each wire frame gets its own tag
and sequence number, and duplicate discard is per frame. A GSO
super-packet reaching hsr_forward_skb() breaks that per-frame
semantics: it would be tagged and forwarded as a single frame.

Unfold such super-packets at the forward entry with the top-level GSO
dispatch: __skb_gso_segment() initializes SKB_GSO_CB() and performs
the L2->L3->L4 protocol dispatch (calling the low-level skb_segment()
helper directly is not allowed here -- it reads SKB_GSO_CB(skb) state
that only __skb_gso_segment() sets up). features = 0 requests full
software segmentation; tx_path is selected by ingress port (master =
locally generated TX, interlink = RX) to get the right checksum
semantics. Each segment then runs through the existing per-frame
path, which is split out as hsr_forward_skb_one() so that no GSO skb
can reach it.

Segmentation is only offered for the ingress roles whose frames are
known to be plain Ethernet: the master (locally generated) and the
interlink (SAN side, untagged). A super-packet received from a LAN
slave may carry per-frame HSR tags or PRP RCT trailers that software
segmentation cannot recover, and an already-tagged HSR/PRP
super-packet violates per-frame wire semantics; both are rejected by
ingress-port policy. (ETH_P_PRP identifies supervision traffic only;
a PRP data frame keeps its payload EtherType, so RCT carriage cannot
be tested by protocol.)

Also drop NETIF_F_GSO_MASK from the HSR master's hw_features so
locally generated traffic is segmented before reaching the forward
path whenever possible.

[PATCH net v2 4/4] selftests: net: hsr: add GRO super-packet forwarding test

[Xin Xie]

Add a test exercising the HSR forward path with GSO super-packets:
a TSO-enabled SAN behind the interlink streams TCP through an HSR
DUT to a peer node. The test verifies that:

* enslaved devices have GRO and HW-GRO disabled automatically,
* the HSR master does not advertise GSO/TSO features (including
  tx-tcp6/udp/gso-list, to catch future hw_features leaks),
* super-packets really leave the SAN (TX average frame size above a
  fixed threshold) while bulk output on the DUT's LAN legs stays at
  per-frame size — aggregate counter evidence that GSO enters the
  forward path and is unfolded at the forward entry. Zero TCP
  retransmits is reported as a secondary health signal.

The one-shot iperf3 server lives in a private mktemp -d workdir
(mode 0700): its exact PID is retained only after numeric, alive,
comm==iperf3 and netns-membership checks, its real exit status is
propagated through an rc file, and cleanup kills by exact PID with a
bounded wrapper reap plus a namespace-scoped iperf3 sweep. Server
startup failure, client failure and a never-published PID are all
bounded exits with no process or directory leaks. Environments whose
iproute2 lacks the HSR interlink syntax are skipped with ksft_skip.

Without this series the feature checks fail, and on drivers that hand
GRO super-packets to the HSR receive path the stream degrades or
stalls.

+# Test HSR handling of GRO/GSO super-packets:
+#
+#  1. Enslaving a device to an HSR master disables GRO on it
+#     (dev_disable_gro()).
+#  2. The HSR master does not advertise GSO/TSO features.
+#  3. A TCP stream from a TSO-enabled SAN (which therefore emits GSO
+#     super-packets) is unfolded at the HSR forward entry. Evidence:
+#     interface-counter deltas show super-packet-sized frames leaving
+#     the SAN and per-frame-sized traffic leaving the DUT's LAN ports.
+#
+# Topology (100.64.0.0/24):
