net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true if the key got initialized. The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so it needs some further explanation why this actually works: === In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have === no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is initialized like this: ___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) } The check if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ expands into (pseudo code) if (!likely(___done_key > 0)) , so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the helper function. === If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends === on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called before that! At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs): 71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above. arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks like this: if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ expands to if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path. static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the branch is replaced with a nop again. === Misc: === The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean (___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before the increment happend.

net_get_random_once(intrduced in the next patch) uses static_keys in a way that they get enabled on boot-up instead of replaced with an ideal_nop. So check for default_nop on initial enabling.

Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could have unforeseen consequences. Following primitives are now checked for correct use: * static_key_slow_inc * static_key_slow_dec * static_key_slow_dec_deferred * jump_label_rate_limit The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this. Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner. All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check does no harm to performance. The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk. Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

While implementing GSO/TSO support for IPIP, I found skb_segment() was assuming network header was immediately following mac header. Its not really true in the case inet_gso_segment() is stacked : By the time tcp_gso_segment() is called, network header points to the inner IP header. Let's instead assume nothing and pick the current offsets found in original skb, we have skb_headers_offset_update() helper for that. Also move the csum_start update inside skb_headers_offset_update() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Remove the specialized code in __tcp_retransmit_skb() that tries to trim any ACKed payload preceding a FIN before we retransmit (this was added in 1999 in v2.2.3pre3). This trimming code was made unreachable by the more general code added above it that uses tcp_trim_head() to trim any ACKed payload, with or without a FIN (this was added in "[NET]: Add segmentation offload support to TCP." in 2002 circa v2.5.33).
