This allows further redirection of xdp_frames like NIC -> veth--veth -> veth--veth (XDP) (XDP) (XDP) The intermediate XDP, redirecting packets from NIC to the other veth, reuses xdp_mem_info from NIC so that page recycling of the NIC works on the destination veth's XDP. In this way return_frame is not fully guarded by NAPI, since another NAPI handler on another cpu may use the same xdp_mem_info concurrently. Thus disable napi_direct by xdp_set_return_frame_no_direct() during the NAPI context. v8: - Don't use xdp_frame pointer address for data_hard_start of xdp_buff. v4: - Use xdp_[set|clear]_return_frame_no_direct() instead of a flag in xdp_mem_info. v3: - Fix double free when veth_xdp_tx() returns a positive value. - Convert xdp_xmit and xdp_redir variables into flags.

This allows NIC's XDP to redirect packets to veth. The destination veth device enqueues redirected packets to the napi ring of its peer, then they are processed by XDP on its peer veth device. This can be thought as calling another XDP program by XDP program using REDIRECT, when the peer enables driver XDP. Note that when the peer veth device does not set driver xdp, redirected packets will be dropped because the peer is not ready for NAPI. v4: - Don't use xdp_ok_fwd_dev() because checking IFF_UP is not necessary. Add comments about it and check only MTU. v2: - Drop the part converting xdp_frame into skb when XDP is not enabled. - Implement bulk interface of ndo_xdp_xmit. - Implement XDP_XMIT_FLUSH bit and drop ndo_xdp_flush.

This is preparation for XDP TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This allows napi handler to handle xdp_frames through xdp ring as well as sk_buff. v8: - Don't use xdp_frame pointer address to calculate skb->head and headroom. v7: - Use xdp_scrub_frame() instead of memset(). v3: - Revert v2 change around rings and use a flag to differentiate skb and xdp_frame, since bulk skb xmit makes little performance difference for now. v2: - Use another ring instead of using flag to differentiate skb and xdp_frame. This approach makes bulk skb transmit possible in veth_xmit later. - Clear xdp_frame feilds in skb->head. - Implement adjust_tail. Signed-off-by:

This is the basic implementation of veth driver XDP. Incoming packets are sent from the peer veth device in the form of skb, so this is generally doing the same thing as generic XDP. This itself is not so useful, but a starting point to implement other useful veth XDP features like TX and REDIRECT. This introduces NAPI when XDP is enabled, because XDP is now heavily relies on NAPI context. Use ptr_ring to emulate NIC ring. Tx function enqueues packets to the ring and peer NAPI handler drains the ring. Currently only one ring is allocated for each veth device, so it does not scale on multiqueue env. This can be resolved by allocating rings on the per-queue basis later. Note that NAPI is not used but netif_rx is used when XDP is not loaded, so this does not change the default behaviour. v6: - Check skb->len only when allocation is needed. - Add __GFP_NOWARN to alloc_page() as it can be triggered by external events. v3: - Fix race on closing the device. - Add extack messages in ndo_bpf. v2: - Squashed with the patch adding NAPI. - Implement adjust_tail. - Don't acquire consumer lock because it is guarded by NAPI. - Make poll_controller noop since it is unnecessary. - Register rxq_info on enabling XDP rather than on opening the device.

There are number of problems with configuration peer network device in absence of IFLA_VETH_PEER attributes where attributes for main network device shared with peer. First it is not feasible to configure both network devices with same MAC address since this makes communication in such configuration problematic. This case can be reproduced with following sequence: # ip link add address 02:11:22:33:44:55 type veth # ip li sh ... 26: veth0@veth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc \ noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 27: veth1@veth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc \ noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Second it is not possible to register both main and peer network devices with same name, that happens when name for main interface is given with IFLA_IFNAME and same attribute reused for peer. This case can be reproduced with following sequence: # ip link add dev veth1a type veth RTNETLINK answers: File exists To fix both of the cases check if corresponding netlink attributes are taken from peer_tb when valid or name based on rtnl ops kind and random address is used.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by:

The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom. Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM. This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation. When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device, this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a plain Linux bridge.

Packets that arrive from real hardware devices have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if the hardware verified the checksums, or CHECKSUM_NONE if the packet is bad or it was unable to verify it. The current version of veth will replace CHECKSUM_NONE with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which causes corrupt packets routed from hardware to a veth device to be delivered to the application. This caused applications at Twitter to receive corrupt data when network hardware was corrupting packets. We believe this was added as an optimization to skip computing and verifying checksums for communication between containers. However, locally generated packets have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, so the code as written does nothing for them. As far as we can tell, after removing this code, these packets are transmitted from one stack to another unmodified (tcpdump shows invalid checksums on both sides, as expected), and they are delivered correctly to applications. We didn’t test every possible network configuration, but we tried a few common ones such as bridging containers, using NAT between the host and a container, and routing from hardware devices to containers. We have effectively deployed this in production at Twitter (by disabling RX checksum offloading on veth devices). This code dates back to the first version of the driver, commit <e314dbdc> ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver"), so I suspect this bug occurred mostly because the driver API has evolved significantly since then. Commit <0b796750> ("net/veth: Fix packet checksumming") (in December 2010) fixed this for packets that get created locally and sent to hardware devices, by not changing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. However, the same issue still occurs for packets coming in from hardware devices. Co-authored-by:

Even if we create a stacked vlan interface such as veth0.10.20, it sends single tagged frames (tagged with only vid 10). Because vlan_features of a veth interface has the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CTAG/STAG]_TX bits, veth0.10 also has that feature, so dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) doesn't call __vlan_put_tag() and vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit(veth0.10) overwrites vlan_tci. This prevents us from using a combination of 802.1ad and 802.1Q in containers, etc. Signed-off-by:

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement. Feedback would be appreciated! Signed-off-by:
