v2 cover sctp: Add GSO support

This patchset adds sctp GSO support.

Performance tests indicates that increases throughput by 10% if using bigger chunk sizes, specially if bigger than MTU. For small chunks, it doesn't help much if not using heavy firewall rules.

For small chunks it will probably be of more use once we get something like MSG_MORE as David Laight had suggested.

v1->v2:
Added support for receiving GSO frames on SCTP stack, as requested by Dave Miller.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner (7):
loopback: make use of NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE
skbuff: export skb_gro_receive
sk_buff: allow segmenting based on frag sizes
skbuff: introduce skb_gso_validate_mtu
sctp: delay as much as possible skb_linearize
sctp: Add GSO support
sctp: improve debug message to also log curr pkt and new chunk size

PATCH v2 1/7 loopback: make use of NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE

NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE was defined to list all GSO software types, so lets make use of it in loopback code. Note that veth/vxlan/others already uses it.

Within this patch series, this patch causes lo to pick up SCTP GSO feature automatically (as it's added to NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE) and thus avoiding segmentation if possible.

PATCH v2 2/7 skbuff: export skb_gro_receive

sctp GSO requires it and sctp can be compiled as a module, so we need to export this function.

PATCH v2 3/7 sk_buff: allow segmenting based on frag sizes

In reply to Marcelo Ricardo Leitner

This patch allows segmenting a skb based on its frags sizes instead of based on a fixed value.

PATCH v2 4/7 skbuff: introduce skb_gso_validate_mtu

In reply to Marcelo Ricardo Leitner

skb_gso_network_seglen is not enough for checking fragment sizes if skb is using GSO_BY_FRAGS as we have to check frag per frag.

This patch introduces skb_gso_validate_mtu, based on the former, which will wrap the use case inside it as all calls to skb_gso_network_seglen were to validate if it fits on a given TMU, and improve the check.

By when this func is called the frags lack any headers, this is how I a ccount them. So I expect it to be different than 0 in most of the cases as it will contain the value of network header size, and it should have contained the size of sctp header too. Now reviewing it, I should have added a new check on skb_gso_transport_seglen() for sctp gso I think. As in:

I can ignore that and recalculate it but this way (with -GSO_BY_FRAGS) seemed cleaner as it reuses all that.

Isn't this just "hlen = 0"? If so you could probably just remove this line and the references to hlen below and instead just loop through verifying skb_headlen() instead of adding a value that should be 0.

I see what you are saying. It also doesn't help I misread this as hlen != GSO_BY_FRAGS, not shinfo->gso_size.

By when this func is called the frags lack any headers, this is how I a ccount them. So I expect it to be different than 0 in most of the cases as it will contain the value of network header size, and it should have contained the size of sctp header too. Now reviewing it, I should have added a new check on skb_gso_transport_seglen() for sctp gso I think. As in:

This chunk would be on 6th patch. (v3 will be needed due to this)

I can ignore that and recalculate it but this way (with -GSO_BY_FRAGS) seemed cleaner as it reuses all that.

Okay that works.

PATCH v2 5/7 sctp: delay as much as possible skb_linearize

In reply to Marcelo Ricardo Leitner

This patch is a preparation for the GSO one. In order to successfully handle GSO packets on rx path we must not call skb_linearize, otherwise it defeats any gain GSO may have had.

This patch thus delays as much as possible the call to skb_linearize, leaving it to sctp_inq_pop() moment. For that the sanity checks performed now know how to deal with fragments.

One positive side-effect of this is that if the socket is backlogged it will have the chance of doing it on backlog processing instead of during softirq.

With this move, it's evident that a check for non-linearity in sctp_inq_pop was ineffective and is now removed. Note that a similar check is performed a bit below this one.

PATCH v2 6/7 sctp: Add GSO support

In reply to Marcelo Ricardo Leitner

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to (P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected. So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation point and deliver it to IP layer.

This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.

With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list, trusting its sizes are already in accordance.

This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.

v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb->cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
