[PATCH net-next 0/9] Remove skb_mac_header() dependency in DSA xmit path

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Wed Mar 22 2023 - 19:38:45 EST


Eric started working on removing skb_mac_header() assumptions from the
networking xmit path, and I offered to help for DSA:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230321164519.1286357-1-edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx/

The majority of this patch set is a straightforward replacement of
skb_mac_header() with skb->data (hidden either behind skb_eth_hdr(), or
behind skb_vlan_eth_hdr()). The only patch which is more "interesting"
is 9/9.

tcf_vlan_act() is also a potential caller of __skb_vlan_pop() on xmit,
through skb_vlan_pop(), but I haven't actually managed to convince this
veth setup to not use vlan hwaccel tags, so I couldn't test my
assumptions:

ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1

ip netns add ns0
ip link set veth1 netns ns0 && ip -n ns0 link set veth1 up
ip link set veth0 up

ethtool -K veth0 rx-vlan-offload off tx-vlan-offload off
ip netns exec ns0 ethtool -K veth1 rx-vlan-offload off tx-vlan-offload off

tc qdisc add dev veth0 clsact
tc -n ns0 qdisc add dev veth1 clsact
tc filter add dev veth0 egress protocol 802.1Q flower vlan_id 3 action vlan pop
tc filter add dev veth0 ingress protocol all matchall action vlan push id 3

ip link add link veth0 name veth0.3 type vlan id 3
ip link set veth0.3 up

ip -n ns0 addr add 192.168.100.2/24 dev veth1
ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev veth0.3

I'm likely going to need to resend this, but I'm not able to come up
with something better for today, so posting this at least for a
preliminary view.

Vladimir Oltean (9):
net: vlan: don't adjust MAC header in __vlan_insert_inner_tag() unless
set
net: vlan: introduce skb_vlan_eth_hdr()
net: dpaa: avoid one skb_reset_mac_header() in dpaa_enable_tx_csum()
net: dsa: tag_ocelot: do not rely on skb_mac_header() for VLAN xmit
net: dsa: tag_ksz: do not rely on skb_mac_header() in TX paths
net: dsa: tag_sja1105: don't rely on skb_mac_header() in TX paths
net: dsa: tag_sja1105: replace skb_mac_header() with vlan_eth_hdr()
net: dsa: update TX path comments to not mention skb_mac_header()
net: dsa: tag_ocelot: call only the relevant portion of
__skb_vlan_pop() on TX
