* [PATCH] tg3: Work around HW/FW limitations with vlan encapsulated frames @ 2014-09-18 14:31 Vladislav Yasevich 2014-09-18 23:00 ` Prashant Sreedharan 2014-09-22 18:20 ` David Miller 0 siblings, 2 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: Vladislav Yasevich @ 2014-09-18 14:31 UTC (permalink / raw) To: netdev; +Cc: Vladislav Yasevich, Prashant Sreedharan, Michael Chan TG3 appears to have an issue performing TSO and checksum offloading correclty when the frame has been vlan encapsulated (non-accelrated). In these cases, tcp checksum is not correctly updated. This patch attempts to work around this issue. After the patch, 802.1ad vlans start working correctly over tg3 devices.

We don't accelerate 802.1ad if the driver doesn't claim offload support. If I had to guess, the TSO would probably work, but the packet would be encapsulated as 802.1Q by the FW/HW and connection would fail. > >> This patch attempts to work around this issue.

Side effect is > accelerated vlan headers will also have TSO and checksum offload > disabled. I didn't want to impact normal accelerated usage. The non-accelerated case is rather rare especially since tg3 driver doesn't allow you to turn off vlan acceleration. One has to put a software device between tg3 and vlan that allow you to turn off vlan acceleration (ex: bridge) and turn off acceleration on the bridge to get this to happen for 802.1Q vlans. People don't normally turn off vlan acceleration though as evidenced by this bug (and issues in other drivers) being around for a _very_ long time. > > Also as part of this review, found a problem with the receive section of > the driver it was not checking for 802.1ad vlan protocol and dropping > 802.1ad vlan packets of size > mtu + ETH_HLEN Good catch. I should have run the TCP_MAERTS test. :) I'll update the patch with the below hunk and resubmit if we can agree on using the tg3_tso_bug workaround. -vlad > > diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c > b/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c > index cb77ae9..620887a 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c > +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c > @@ -6918,7 +6918,8 @@ static int tg3_rx(struct tg3_napi *tnapi, int > budget) > skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, tp->dev); > > if (len > (tp->dev->mtu + ETH_HLEN) && > - skb->protocol != htons(ETH_P_8021Q)) { > + skb->protocol != htons(ETH_P_8021Q) && > + skb->protocol != htons(ETH_P_8021AD)) { > dev_kfree_skb_any(skb); > goto drop_it_no_recycle; > } > > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
