Paolo Abeni says: ==================== virtio: introduce GSO over UDP tunnel Some virtualized deployments use UDP tunnel pervasively and are impacted negatively by the lack of GSO support for such kind of traffic in the virtual NIC driver. The virtio_net specification recently introduced support for GSO over UDP tunnel, this series updates the virtio implementation to support such a feature. Currently the kernel virtio support limits the feature space to 64, while the virtio specification allows for a larger number of features. Specifically the GSO-over-UDP-tunnel-related virtio features use bits 65-69. The first four patches in this series rework the virtio and vhost feature support to cope with up to 128 bits. The limit is set by a define and could be easily raised in future, as needed. This implementation choice is aimed at keeping the code churn as limited as possible. For the same reason, only the virtio_net driver is reworked to leverage the extended feature space; all other virtio/vhost drivers are unaffected, but could be upgraded to support the extended features space in a later time. The last four patches bring in the actual GSO over UDP tunnel support. As per specification, some additional fields are introduced into the virtio net header to support the new offload. The presence of such fields depends on the negotiated features. New helpers are introduced to convert the UDP-tunneled skb metadata to an extended virtio net header and vice versa. Such helpers are used by the tun and virtio_net driver to cope with the newly supported offloads. Tested with basic stream transfer with all the possible permutations of host kernel/qemu/guest kernel with/without GSO over UDP tunnel support. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1751874094.git.pabeni@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |
