There are some drawback in the existing mechanism.
- we have to set the net->cookie_gen and then sk->sk_cookie when we
want to get the sk_cookie, that's a little expensive as well.
After that change, sock_gen_cookie() could be replaced by
atomic64_read(&sk->sk_cookie) in most places.
- If the application want to get the sk_cookie, it must set it first.
What if the application don't have the permision to write?
Furthermore, maybe it is a security concern ?

* [PATCH v2 8/8] ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers
From: Chris Novakovic @ 2018-04-24 2:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Chris Novakovic
In-Reply-To: <20180424025639.2228-1-chris@chrisn.me.uk>
Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client
clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their
root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of
the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root
filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the
boot process).
Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers
it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as
follows:
- If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs="
kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in
the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter.
- If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in
the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three
NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent
DHCPOFFER message.
ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to
/proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from
the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these
NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an
initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS
root filesystem).

* [PATCH v2 6/8] ipconfig: Correctly initialise ic_nameservers
From: Chris Novakovic @ 2018-04-24 2:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Chris Novakovic
In-Reply-To: <20180424025639.2228-1-chris@chrisn.me.uk>
ic_nameservers, which stores the list of name servers discovered by
ipconfig, is initialised (i.e. has all of its elements set to NONE, or
0xffffffff) by ic_nameservers_predef() in the following scenarios:
- before the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters are
parsed (in ip_auto_config_setup());
- before autoconfiguring via DHCP or BOOTP (in ic_bootp_init()), in
order to clear any values that may have been set after parsing "ip="
or "nfsaddrs=" and are no longer needed.
This means that ic_nameservers_predef() is not called when neither "ip="
nor "nfsaddrs=" is specified on the kernel command line. In this
scenario, every element in ic_nameservers remains set to 0x00000000,
which is indistinguishable from ANY and causes pnp_seq_show() to write
the following (bogus) information to /proc/net/pnp:
#MANUAL
nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 0.0.0.0
This is potentially problematic for systems that blindly link
/etc/resolv.conf to /proc/net/pnp.
Ensure that ic_nameservers is also initialised when neither "ip=" nor
"nfsaddrs=" are specified by calling ic_nameservers_predef() in
ip_auto_config(), but only when ip_auto_config_setup() was not called
earlier. This causes the following to be written to /proc/net/pnp, and
is consistent with what gets written when ipconfig is configured
manually but no name servers are specified on the kernel command line:
#MANUAL

* [PATCH v2 4/8] ipconfig: BOOTP: Request CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers
From: Chris Novakovic @ 2018-04-24 2:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Chris Novakovic
In-Reply-To: <20180424025639.2228-1-chris@chrisn.me.uk>
When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet
initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() always allocates 8 bytes for the name
server option, limiting the BOOTP server to responding with at most 2
name servers even though ipconfig in fact supports an arbitrary number
of name servers (as defined by CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX, which is currently
3).
Only request name servers in the request packet if CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX
is positive (to comply with [1, §3.8]), and allocate enough space in the
packet for CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX name servers to indicate the maximum
number we can accept in response.

* [PATCH v2 3/8] ipconfig: BOOTP: Don't request IEN-116 name servers
From: Chris Novakovic @ 2018-04-24 2:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Chris Novakovic
In-Reply-To: <20180424025639.2228-1-chris@chrisn.me.uk>
When ipconfig is autoconfigured via BOOTP, the request packet
initialised by ic_bootp_init_ext() allocates 8 bytes for tag 5 ("Name
Server" [1, §3.7]), but tag 5 in the response isn't processed by
ic_do_bootp_ext(). Instead, allocate the 8 bytes to tag 6 ("Domain Name
Server" [1, §3.8]), which is processed by ic_do_bootp_ext(), and appears
to have been the intended tag to request.
This won't cause any breakage for existing users, as tag 5 responses
provided by BOOTP servers weren't being processed anyway.

Commit 5e953778a2aab04929a5e7b69f53dc26e39b079e ("ipconfig: add
nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=") adds the IP addresses of
discovered name servers to the summary printed by ipconfig when
configuration is complete. It appears the intention in ip_auto_config()
was to print the name servers on a new line (especially given the
spacing and lack of comma before "nameserver0="), but they're actually
printed on the same line as the NFS root filesystem configuration
summary:
[ 0.686186] IP-Config: Complete:
[ 0.686226] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1
[ 0.686328] host=test, domain=example.com, nis-domain=(none)
[ 0.686386] bootserver=10.0.0.1, rootserver=10.0.0.1, rootpath= nameserver0=10.0.0.1
This makes it harder to read and parse ipconfig's output. Instead, print
the name servers on a separate line:
[ 0.791250] IP-Config: Complete:
[ 0.791289] device=eth0, hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, ipaddr=10.0.0.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.0.0.1

ic_do_bootp_ext() is responsible for parsing the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs="
kernel parameters. If a "." character is found in parameter 4 (the
client's hostname), everything before the first "." is used as the
hostname, and everything after it is used as the NIS domain name (but

* [PATCH v2 0/8] ipconfig: NTP server support, bug fixes, documentation improvements
From: Chris Novakovic @ 2018-04-24 2:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: David S. Miller, netdev; +Cc: Chris Novakovic
This series (against net-next) makes various improvements to ipconfig:
- Patch #1 correctly documents the behaviour of parameter 4 in the
"ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" command line parameter.
- Patch #2 tidies up the printk()s for reporting configured name
servers.
- Patch #3 fixes a bug in autoconfiguration via BOOTP whereby the IP
addresses of IEN-116 name servers are requested from the BOOTP
server, rather than those of DNS name servers.
- Patch #4 requests the number of DNS servers specified by
CONF_NAMESERVERS_MAX when autoconfiguring via BOOTP, rather than
hardcoding it to 2.
- Patch #5 fully documents the contents and format of /proc/net/pnp in
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
- Patch #6 fixes a bug whereby bogus information is written to
/proc/net/pnp when ipconfig is not used.
- Patch #7 creates a new procfs directory for ipconfig-related
configuration reports at /proc/net/ipconfig.
- Patch #8 allows for NTP servers to be configured (manually on the
kernel command line or automatically via DHCP), enabling systems with
an NFS root filesystem to synchronise their clock before mounting
their root filesystem. NTP server IP addresses are written to
/proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers.
Changes from v1:
- David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to
contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented
in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory
instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8.
- Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be
dropped. This patch has been removed from the series.

This number looks not very exciting. I can get ~3Mpps when using testpmd
in a guest with xdp_redirect.sh on host between ixgbe and TAP/vhost. I
believe we can even better performance without virt. It would be
interesting to compare this performance with e.g testpmd +
virito_user(vhost_kernel) + XDP.

I think we probably need this in the case of TUN XDP for virt guest too.
