net: netmem: fix skb_ensure_writable with unreadable skbs

2025-06-27T10:13:38Z

[ Upstream commit 6f793a1d053775f8324b8dba1e7ed224f8b0166f ] skb_ensure_writable should succeed when it's trying to write to the header of the unreadable skbs, so it doesn't need an unconditional skb_frags_readable check. The preceding pskb_may_pull() call will succeed if write_len is within the head and fail if we're trying to write to the unreadable payload, so we don't need an additional check. Removing this check restores DSCP functionality with unreadable skbs as it's called from dscp_tg.

net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completion

2025-03-25T16:48:05Z

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp when hardware reports a packet completed. Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency (usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of the true latency. It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX probably happened.

net: skbuff: introduce napi_skb_cache_get_bulk()

2025-02-27T13:03:14Z

Add a function to get an array of skbs from the NAPI percpu cache. It's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(skbuff_head_cache, GFP_ATOMIC) and xdp_alloc_skb_bulk(GFP_ATOMIC). The difference (apart from the requirement to call it only from the BH) is that it tries to use as many NAPI cache entries for skbs as possible, and allocate new ones only if needed. The logic is as follows: * there is enough skbs in the cache: decache them and return to the caller; * not enough: try refilling the cache first. If there is now enough skbs, return; * still not enough: try allocating skbs directly to the output array with %GFP_ZERO, maybe we'll be able to get some. If there's now enough, return; * still not enough: return as many as we were able to obtain. Most of times, if called from the NAPI polling loop, the first one will be true, sometimes (rarely) the second one. The third and the fourth -- only under heavy memory pressure. It can save significant amounts of CPU cycles if there are GRO cycles and/or Tx completion cycles (anything that descends to napi_skb_cache_put()) happening on this CPU.

ipvs: Always clear ipvs_property flag in skb_scrub_packet()

2025-02-25T12:15:17Z

We found an issue when using bpf_redirect with ipvs NAT mode after commit ff70202b2d1a ("dev_forward_skb: do not scrub skb mark within the same name space"). Particularly, we use bpf_redirect to return the skb directly back to the netif it comes from, i.e., xnet is false in skb_scrub_packet(), and then ipvs_property is preserved and SNAT is skipped in the rx path. ipvs_property has been already cleared when netns is changed in commit 2b5ec1a5f973 ("netfilter/ipvs: clear ipvs_property flag when SKB net namespace changed"). This patch just clears it in spite of netns.

bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_ACK_CB callback

2025-02-20T22:29:43Z

Support the ACK case for bpf timestamping. Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_ACK_CB. This callback will occur at the same timestamping point as the user space's SCM_TSTAMP_ACK. The BPF program can use it to get the same SCM_TSTAMP_ACK timestamp without modifying the user-space application. This patch extends txstamp_ack to two bits: 1 stands for SO_TIMESTAMPING mode, 2 bpf extension.

bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB callback

2025-02-20T22:29:36Z

Support hw SCM_TSTAMP_SND case for bpf timestamping. Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB. This callback will occur at the same timestamping point as the user space's hardware SCM_TSTAMP_SND. The BPF program can use it to get the same SCM_TSTAMP_SND timestamp without modifying the user-space application. To avoid increasing the code complexity, replace SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NOBPF instead of changing numerous callers from driver side using SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP. The new definition of SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP means the combination tests of socket timestamping and bpf timestamping. After this patch, drivers can work under the bpf timestamping. Considering some drivers don't assign the skb with hardware timestamp, this patch does the assignment and then BPF program can acquire the hwstamp from skb directly.
