    net: dsa: fix flow dissection on Tx path · 8bef0af0
    Alexander Lobakin authored
    Commit 43e66528 ("net-next: dsa: fix flow dissection") added an
    ability to override protocol and network offset during flow dissection
    for DSA-enabled devices (i.e. controllers shipped as switch CPU ports)
    in order to fix skb hashing for RPS on Rx path.
    
    However, skb_hash() and added part of code can be invoked not only on
    Rx, but also on Tx path if we have a multi-queued device and:
     - kernel is running on UP system or
     - XPS is not configured.
    
    The call stack in this two cases will be like: dev_queue_xmit() ->
    __dev_queue_xmit() -> netdev_core_pick_tx() -> netdev_pick_tx() ->
    skb_tx_hash() -> skb_get_hash().
    
    The problem is that skbs queued for Tx have both network offset and
    correct protocol already set up even after inserting a CPU tag by DSA
    tagger, so calling tag_ops->flow_dissect() on this path actually only
    breaks flow dissection and hashing.
    
    This can be observed by adding debug prints just before and right after
    tag_ops->flow_dissect() call to the related block of code:
    
    Before the patch:
    
    Rx path (RPS):
    
    [   19.240001] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   19.244271] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   19.247811] Rx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_IP */
    
    [   19.215435] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   19.219746] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   19.223241] Rx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_ARP */
    
    [   18.654057] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   18.658332] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   18.661826] Rx: proto: 0x8100, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_8021Q */
    
    Tx path (UP system):
    
    [   18.759560] Tx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IP */
    [   18.763933] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   18.767485] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */
    
    [   22.800020] Tx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_ARP */
    [   22.804392] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   22.807921] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */
    
    [   16.898342] Tx: proto: 0x86dd, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IPV6 */
    [   16.902705] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   16.906227] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */
    
    After:
    
    Rx path (RPS):
    
    [   16.520993] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   16.525260] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   16.528808] Rx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_IP */
    
    [   15.484807] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   15.490417] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   15.495223] Rx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_ARP */
    
    [   17.134621] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
    [   17.138895] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
    [   17.142388] Rx: proto: 0x8100, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_8021Q */
    
    Tx path (UP system):
    
    [   15.499558] Tx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IP */
    
    [   20.664689] Tx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_ARP */
    
    [   18.565782] Tx: proto: 0x86dd, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IPV6 */
    
    In order to fix that we can add the check 'proto == htons(ETH_P_XDSA)'
    to prevent code from calling tag_ops->flow_dissect() on Tx.
    I also decided to initialize 'offset' variable so tagger callbacks can
    now safely leave it untouched without provoking a chaos.
