2017-05-19net: use skb->csum_not_inet to identify packets needing crc32cDavide Caratti
skb->csum_not_inet carries the indication on which algorithm is needed to compute checksum on skb in the transmit path, when skb->ip_summed is equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. If skb carries a SCTP packet and crc32c hasn't been yet written in L4 header, skb->csum_not_inet is assigned to 1; otherwise, assume Internet Checksum is needed and thus set skb->csum_not_inet to 0.

2017-05-19skbuff: add stub to help computing crc32c on SCTP packetsDavide Caratti
sctp_compute_checksum requires crc32c symbol (provided by libcrc32c), so it can't be used in net core. Like it has been done previously with other symbols (e.g. ipv6_dst_lookup), introduce a stub struct skb_checksum_ops to allow computation of crc32c checksum in net core after sctp.ko (and thus libcrc32c) has been loaded.

2017-01-25sctp: sctp gso should set feature with NETIF_F_SG when calling skb_segmentXin Long
Now sctp gso puts segments into skb's frag_list, then processes these segments in skb_segment. But skb_segment handles them only when gs is enabled, as it's in the same branch with skb's frags. Although almost all the NICs support sg other than some old ones, but since commit 1e16aa3ddf86 ("net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlers"), features &= skb->dev->hw_enc_features, and xfrm_output_gso call skb_segment with features = 0, which means sctp gso would call skb_segment with sg = 0, and skb_segment would not work as expected. This patch is to fix it by setting features param with NETIF_F_SG when calling skb_segment so that it can go the right branch to process the skb's frag_list.

2016-07-16sctp: fix GSO for IPv6Marcelo Ricardo Leitner
commit 90017accff61 ("sctp: Add GSO support") didn't register SCTP GSO offloading for IPv6 and yet didn't put any restrictions on generating GSO packets while in IPv6, which causes all IPv6 GSO'ed packets to be silently dropped. The fix is to properly register the offload this time. Fixes: 90017accff61 ("sctp: Add GSO support") Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-06-03sctp: Add GSO supportMarcelo 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. v3: - consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen() - rebased due to 5c7cdf339af5 ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for unsupported GSO") Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Tested-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
