====================
net: fix CRC32c in the forwarding path

Current kernel allows offloading CRC32c computation when SCTP packets
are generated, setting skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, if the
underlying device features have NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC set. However, after these
packets are forwarded, they may land on a device where CRC32c offloading is
not available: as a consequence, transmission is done with wrong CRC32c.
It's not possible to use sctp_compte_cksum() in the forwarding path
and in most drivers, because it needs symbols exported by libcrc32c module.

Patch 1 and 2 of this series try to solve this problem, introducing a new
helper function, namely skb_crc32c_csum_help(), that can be used to resolve
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL when crc32c is needed instead of Internet Checksum.

Currently, we need to parse the packet headers to understand what algorithm
is needed to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. We can speedup things by storing
this information in the skb metadata, and use it to call an appropriate
helper (skb_checksum_help or skb_crc32c_csum_help), or leave the packet
unmodified when the NIC is able to offload the checksum computation.

Patch 3 deprecates skb->csum_bad to free one bit in skb metadata; patch 4
introduces skb->csum_not_inet, providing skb with an indication on the
algorithm needed to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
Patch 5 and 6 fix the kernel forwarding path and openvswitch datapath,
where skb_checksum_help was unconditionally called to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL,
thus generating wrong CRC32c in forwarded SCTP packets.
Finally, patch 7 updates documentation to provide a better description of
possible values of skb->ip_summed.

Some further work is still possible:
* drivers that parse the packet header to correctly resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
(e.g. ixgbe_tx_csum()) can benefit from testing skb->csum_not_inet to avoid
calling ip_hdr(skb)->protocol or ixgbe_ipv6_csum_is_sctp(skb).

* drivers that call skb_checksum_help() to resolve CHECKSUM_PARTIAL can
call skb_csum_hwoffload_help to avoid corrupting SCTP packets.

Changes v2->v3:
- patch 1/7: more standard declaration of stub variables

Changes v1->v2:
- none

Changes RFCv4->v1:
- patch 2/7: use WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of BUG_ON(), and avoid computing
CRC32c on the error path.
- patch 3/7: don't invert tests on the values of same_flow and
NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush in dev_gro_receive(), it's useless and it breaks
GRO functionality as reported by kernel test robot.

      sk_buff.h: improve description of CHECKSUM_{COMPLETE, UNNECESSARY} · b4759dcd
      Davide Caratti authored 
      Add FCoE to the list of protocols that can set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY; add a
note to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE section to specify that it does not apply to SCTP
and FCoE protocols.

      openvswitch: more accurate checksumming in queue_userspace_packet() · 7529390d
      Davide Caratti authored 
      if skb carries an SCTP packet and ip_summed is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, it needs
CRC32c in place of Internet Checksum: use skb_csum_hwoffload_help to avoid
corrupting such packets while queueing them towards userspace.

      net: more accurate checksumming in validate_xmit_skb() · 43c26a1a
      Davide Caratti authored 
      skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to
determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c
(or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they
are not present anymore in Linux  _ see commit cf53b1da ("Revert
 "net: Add driver helper functions to determine checksum offloadability"").

      net: use skb->csum_not_inet to identify packets needing crc32c · dba00306
      Davide Caratti authored 
      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.

      sk_buff: remove support for csum_bad in sk_buff · 219f1d79
      Davide Caratti authored 
      This bit was introduced with commit 5a212329 ("net: Support for
csum_bad in skbuff") to reduce the stack workload when processing RX
packets carrying a wrong Internet Checksum. Up to now, only one driver and
GRO core are setting it.

      net: introduce skb_crc32c_csum_help · b72b5bf6
      Davide Caratti authored 
      skb_crc32c_csum_help is like skb_checksum_help, but it is designed for
checksumming SCTP packets using crc32c (see RFC3309), provided that
libcrc32c.ko has been loaded before. In case libcrc32c is not loaded,
invoking skb_crc32c_csum_help on a skb results in one the following
printouts:

warn_crc32c_csum_update: attempt to compute crc32c without libcrc32c.ko
warn_crc32c_csum_combine: attempt to compute crc32c without libcrc32c.ko

      skbuff: add stub to help computing crc32c on SCTP packets · 9617813d
      Davide Caratti authored 
      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.
