[PATCH ipsec-next v1 0/5] Support PMTU in tunnel mode for packet offload

[PATCH ipsec-next v1 0/5] Support PMTU in tunnel mode for packet offload

[Leon Romanovsky]

Changelog:
v1:
 * Changed signature and names of functions which set and clear type_offload
 * Fixed typos
 * Add Zhu's ROB tag
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1738778580.git.leon@kernel.org

Hi,

This series refactors the xdo_dev_offload_ok() to be global place for
drivers to check if their offload can perform encryption for xmit
packets.

Such common place gives us an option to check MTU and PMTU at one place.

Thanks

  xfrm: simplify SA initialization routine
  xfrm: rely on XFRM offload

[PATCH ipsec-next v1 1/5] xfrm: delay initialization of offload path till its actually requested

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

XFRM offload path is probed even if offload isn't needed at all. Let's
make sure that x->type_offload pointer stays NULL for such path to
reduce ambiguity.

[PATCH ipsec-next v1 2/5] xfrm: simplify SA initialization routine

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

SA replay mode is initialized differently for user-space and
kernel-space users, but the call to xfrm_init_replay() existed in
common path with boolean protection. That caused to situation where
we have two different function orders.

So let's rewrite the SA initialization flow to have same order for
both in-kernel and user-space callers.

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

After change of initialization of x->type_offload pointer to be valid
only for offloaded SAs. There is no need to rely on both x->type_offload
and x->xso.type to determine if SA is offloaded or not.

[PATCH ipsec-next v1 4/5] xfrm: provide common xdo_dev_offload_ok callback implementation

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

Almost all drivers except bond and nsim had same check if device
can perform XFRM offload on that specific packet. The check was that
packet doesn't have IPv4 options and IPv6 extensions.

In NIC drivers, the IPv4 HELEN comparison was slightly different, but
the intent was to check for the same conditions. So let's chose more
strict variant as a common base.

[PATCH ipsec-next v1 5/5] xfrm: check for PMTU in tunnel mode for packet offload

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

In tunnel mode, for the packet offload, there were no PMTU signaling
to the upper level about need to fragment the packet. As a solution,
call to already existing xfrm[4|6]_tunnel_check_size() to perform that.

Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

Re: [PATCH ipsec-next v1 1/5] xfrm: delay initialization of offload path till its actually requested

[Sabrina Dubroca]

Hello,

I think we need to revert this patch. It causes a severe performance
regression for SW IPsec (around 40-50%).

x->type_offload is used for GRO with SW IPsec, not just for HW offload.

Seems to work in my setup. That's basically a revert of every
functional change in 585b64f5a620 ("xfrm: delay initialization of
offload path till its actually requested"), except that now we set
->type_offload during xfrm_state_construct instead of
__xfrm_init_state, so other callers of __xfrm_init_state
(xfrm_state_migrate and pfkey - we can ignore ipcomp since it doesn't
have ->type_offload) won't get ->type_offload set correctly. I'm not
sure we want that.

Do you need to also revert 49431af6c4ef ("xfrm: rely on XFRM offload")
from this series? The assumption that x->type_offload is set only for
HW offload isn't correct.

I don't think so, we are not setting x->type_offload in crypto and packet
offload modes and it is enough for us to rely on offload type.

  230 int xfrm_dev_state_add(struct net *net, struct xfrm_state *x,
  231                        struct xfrm_user_offload *xuo,
  232                        struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
  233 {
  ...
  308         if (!x->type_offload) {
  309                 NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "Type doesn't support offload");
  310                 dev_put(dev);
  311                 return -EINVAL;
  312         }

Thanks
