Hi all!

I would like to ask if anyone has any comments on this version, if so
please let me know!
If not, I will collect Michael's comments and publish a new version next
Monday.
I have a dumb question. (And sorry if I asked it before)

Looking at the spec and code. It looks to me DATA_VALID could be set
without GUEST_CSUM.
I don't see that in the spec.
Am I missing something? [1][2]

[1] If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM feature was negotiated, the
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID bit in flags can be set: if so, device has
validated the packet checksum. In case of multiple encapsulated
protocols, one level of checksums has been validated.
Additionally, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM, TSO4, TSO6, UDP and ECN features
*enable receive checksum*, large receive offload and ECN support which
are the input equivalents of the transmit checksum, transmit
segmentation *offloading* and ECN features, as described in 5.1.6.2.

[2] If VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM is not negotiated, the device *MUST set
flags to zero* and SHOULD supply a fully checksummed packet to the driver.
So this is kind of ambiguous and seems not what I wanted when I wrote
the code for DATA_VALID in 2011.
Hi Jason, please see below.

NEEDS_CSUM maps to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL which means the packet checksum is
correct.
Yes. This mapping is because the PARTIAL checksum usually does not go
through the physical wire,
so it is considered safe, and the checksum does not need to be verified.

So spec had

"""
If neither VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM nor VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID
is set, the driver MUST NOT rely on the packet checksum being correct.
"""
Yes. The checksum of a packet without NEEDS_CSUM or has not been
verified (DATA_VALID set) is unreliable.
This patch doesn't break that.

For DATA_VALID, it maps to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which is mutually
exclusive with CHECKSUM_PARTAIL.
Yes. Both cannot be set or appear at the same time.
So setting both DATA_VALID and NEEDS_CSUM seems ambiguous.

NEEDS_CSUM: the data is correct but the packet doesn't contain checksum

This is not containing checksum, the pseudo header checksum is saved in the checksum field of the transport header.

DATA_VALID: the checksum has been validated, this implies the packet
contains a checksum

I'm not sure if both are set at the same time, and even if set, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL will still work when forwarded.
But why are we discussing this?


And this is what Linux did right now:

For tun_put_user():

          if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) {
                  ...
          } else if (has_data_valid &&
                     skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY) {
                     hdr->flags = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID;
          } /* else everything is zero */

This CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY will work even if GUEST_CSUM is disabled if
I was not wrong.
I think you are talking about this commit:
10a8d94a95742bb15b4e617ee9884bb4381362be

But in fact, as your commit log says, I think this is a hack.
It's not, see below.

Host nics
does not fall into the scope of virtio spec?
Seems not, a lot of NIC produces CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, I don't see how
virtio-net differs in this case.


And in receive_buf():

          if (hdr->hdr.flags & VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID)
                  skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;

I think we can fix this by safely removing "*MUST set flags to zero*"
in [2] from the spec.
Sorry. I cannot follow this view.

1. First of all, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM (partial csum is not considered
now, because we have no dispute about it) does represent the device's
ability to calculate and verify checksums.
Its ability to handle partial checksums (NEEDS_CSUM) is just a special
processing of virtio, the Linux kernel never had a netdev feature for
partial checksum handling.

    1.1 VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_{TSO4, TSO6, USO4} etc. depend on
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM.
          The reason for being relied upon is not that they are related
to NEEDS_CSUM, but that the device needs to recalculate and verify the
checksum of the packets when merging the packets.
          See netdev_fix_features:
         if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM))
                   dev->features |= NETIF_F_RXCSUM;
    - netdev_fix_features ->
     if (!(features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM)) {
                   /* NETIF_F_GRO_HW implies doing RXCSUM since every packet
                    * successfully merged by hardware must also have the
                    * checksum verified by hardware. If the user does not
                    * want to enable RXCSUM, logically, we should disable
GRO_HW.
                    */
                   if (features & NETIF_F_GRO_HW) {
                           netdev_dbg(dev, "Dropping NETIF_F_GRO_HW since
no RXCSUM feature.\n");
                           features &= ~NETIF_F_GRO_HW;
                   }
           }
Let's leave vitio features just now.

RX checksum offloading usually means the device can do checksum
validation, so there's no need for the stack to do it again.

YES.

  Usually
devices will produce CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY packets.

Why do you assume this?
Why do existing virtio devices that comply with virtio 1.0 and later do this?

They(virtio devices) will see if VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM is negotiated and check if the corresponding offload is enabled and if both are YES, they will validate the checksum. Otherwise, they are non-compliant virtio devices. Now, in the implementation of various virtio devices such as
cloud vendor scenarios, how to implement live migration will be a disaster.

How does A know that it can successfully migrate to B?
The answer is that the same feature is negotiated and has the same offload status. Otherwise, users will complain why the performance is so much worse after migration.


Virtio-net wires it to partial csum CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, this is hacky:

1) it tries to benefit from the TX csum offloading of e.g tuntap
2) other path may require hacks or workarounds if it's not a TX path
from the view of the hypervisor or device (e.g macvtap)
3) may not fit for the case of hardware (that can't do GRO_HW but LRO)

    1.2 See NETIF_F_RXCSUM_BIT    /* Receive checksumming offload */
       Most device drivers use NETIF_RX_CSUM to indicate device checksum
capabilities,
       and the corresponding offload can be dynamically switched on and
off by user tools such as ethtool.

2. The implementation of vhost-user, large-scale commercial virtio
device that I know of, and other devices are
completely designed and implemented in accordance with virtio 1.0 and
later.
I think we're not talking about a specific implementation but whether
the spec description is good or not.

Yes. I'm trying to consider your question from your perspective.

DATA_VALID came before 1.0, so
it's the question whether or not the current description is accurate
enough for people to implement the device.

Yes, our hundreds of thousands of virtio devices work just fine when following existing specifications. Migration is no problem either.

GRO_HW\LRO is also affected by VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM offload.


They are comply with the current
specifications and the Linux kernel's definition of NETIF_F_RXCSUM
(VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM).
So what I'm saying is that, the current Linux can produce DATA_VALID
without GUEST_CSUM.

I think they need to be fixed. Just like when NEEDS_CSUM is set, we still don't check if GUEST_CSUM is negotiated.

  We managed to survive for the past 10+ years.
Allowing DATA_VALID to be set without GUEST_CSUM seems to be easit
way.

Live migration can be a disaster.

And when rx checksum offload is disabled, the driver can just not
set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY,

Device verified checksum resources are wasted.
Latency overhead has also been incurred.

Thanks!

and this seems something we need to do from
the view of hardening regardless of this feature.

A side effect is that it disables TSO, but it is intended. Or if you
want LRO with DATA_VALID, it looks like another story.

Thanks



Thanks!

Thanks


I think the reason why the feature bit is not checked in the code is
because the check is omitted because it is on a per-packet basis,
just like the reason why supported_valid_types is not needed as
discussed in the v4 version threads. It is not unnecessary.

Thanks!

If yes, why do we need to bother here? If we disable GUEST_CSUM, the
packet will contain checksum. And if the device sets DATA_VALID, it
means the checksum is validated.

Thanks



Since Christmas is coming, I think this feature may be in danger of
following the pace of
our hw version releases, so I sincerely request that you please review
it as soon as possible.

Thanks!

virtio-net works in a virtualized system and is somewhat
different from
physical nics. One of the differences is that to save virtio device
resources, rx may receive partially checksummed packets. However,
XDP may
cause partially checksummed packets to be dropped.
So XDP loading currently conflicts with the feature
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM.

This patch lets the device to supply fully checksummed packets to
the driver.
Then XDP can coexist with VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM to enjoy the
benefits of
device validation checksum.

In addition, implementation of some performant devices always do
not generate
partially checksummed packets, but the standard driver still need
to clear
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM when XDP is there.
A new feature VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM is added to solve the
above
situation, which provides the driver with configurable offload.
If the offload is enabled, then the device must deliver fully
checksummed packets to the driver and may validate the checksum.

Use case example:
If VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM is negotiated and the offload is
enabled,
after XDP processes a fully checksummed packet, the
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID bit
is retained if the device has validated its checksum, resulting
in the guest
not needing to validate the checksum again. This is useful for
guests:
       1. Bring the driver advantages such as cpu savings.
       2. For devices that do not generate partially checksummed
packets themselves,
          XDP can be loaded in the driver without modifying the
hardware behavior.

Several solutions have been discussed in the previous proposal[1].
After historical discussion, we have tried the method proposed by
Jason[2],
but some complex scenarios and challenges are difficult to deal
with.
We now return to the method suggested in [1].

Oh. I thought it is. Then I guess I misunderstand what this patch is
supposed to be doing, again.
Here's some context:

   From the perspective of the Linux kernel, the GUEST_CSUM feature is
negotiated to support
(1)  CHECKSUM_NONE, (2) CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, (3) CHECKSUM_PARTIAL,
which
respectively correspond to (1) the device does not validate the
packet checksum (may not have
the ability to validate some protocols or does not recognize the
packet); (2) the device has verified
the data packet, then sets DATA_VALID bit in flags; (3) In order to
save device resources, VMs
on the same host deliver partially checksummed packets, and
NEEDS_CSUM bit is set in flags.

GUEST_FULLY_CSUM did not change the above result.
Sorry, GUEST_FULLY_CSUM prohibits the third(3) action.

Yes, you are right.

        The VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM feature indicates that partially

       the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6,

features described above.
       See \ref{sec:Device Types / Network Device / Device Operation /

Will update this.

This part is confusing. "change" and "remain" makes no sense for
someone reading
the spec text as opposed to reviewing the patch.
also it does not matter whether VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM
is negotiated right? it only matters whether it is enabled.
Right! And following your suggestion, I plan to rewrite it as follows:

Note that if VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM is additionally
negotiated and
its offload is enabled, packet types that the driver or device can
recognize
and the
device may verify are consistent with when VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM is
negotiated.
This doesn't really clarify.  If you'd like it put more simply: Never
imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to
others
that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you
had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Sorry, I'm not a native speaker and didn't quite understand this long
sentence.
But I think you suggest that I should not explain something from the
perspective
of someone who is already familiar with it, but should try to explain
it clearly
for readers who are not familiar with it.

I'll try to explain it more clearly.

+Specific transport protocols that may have
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID set
+in \field{flags} include TCP, UDP, GRE (Generic Routing
Encapsulation),
+and SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol).
+A fully checksummed packet's checksum field for each of the
above protocols
+is set to a calculated value that covers the transport header
and payload
+(TCP or UDP involves the additional pseudo header) of the packet.
+
+Delivering fully checksummed packets rather than partially
+checksummed packets incurs additional overhead for the device.
+The overhead varies from device to device, for example the
overhead of
+calculating and validating the packet checksum is a few
microseconds
+for a hardware device.
wow really is that standard? There are devices that deliver the whole
packet in a few microseconds. Maybe "for some hardware devices"?
Ok, I think it's more accurate.

+
+The feature VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM has a corresponding
offload \ref{sec:Device Types / Network Device / Device Operation
/ Control Virtqueue / Offloads State Configuration},
+which when enabled means that the device delivers fully
checksummed packets
+to the driver and may validate the checksum.
+The offload is disabled by default.
This is unusual, unlike any other offload. So needs to be stressed
more.  And what does "default" mean here?
E.g. "Note: unlike other offloads, this offloads is disabled
even after VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM has been negotiation.
Ok. Will rewrite this following your example.

The offload has to be enabled ... "


+
+The driver can enable the offload by sending the
+VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS_SET command with the
+VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_FULLY_CSUM bit set when, for example,
+eXpress Data Path (XDP) \hyperref[intro:xdp]{[XDP]} is functioning.
It is not worth adding a spec link just to provide an example.
If you really want to provide it:
"eXpress Data Path (XDP) in Linux is active".

But this is the problem this patch does not solve in my opinion.
A device might actually provide a full checksum
at negligeable extra cost and driver will still keep it off by
default.
So it slows device down - when does it make sense to enable this
feature?
Just giving an example of XDP is not sufficient.
First of all, I think the core purpose of this patch is to support XDP
loading.
Otherwise, I think GUEST_CSUM works just fine.

1. The device is performant, even if only GUEST_CSUM is negotiated,
the
device only provide fully checksummed packets.
If the offload of GUEST_FULLY_CSUM is disabled, it is equivalent to
only
GUEST_CSUM working, and the device still
provides fully checksummed packets. This will not slow the device
down.

2. For example a sw device. If the device only negotiates
GUEST_CSUM, it may
provide partially checksummed packets.
In the absence of XDP loading requirements, the driver does not
need to
enable GUEST_FULLY_CSUM offload.
Well first of all I am no longer even sure what this GUEST_FULLY_CSUM
does. I thought it is CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.
But more generally, is there an assumption driver will not
enable this new checksum typically then? Unless what? If we never
tell drivers they should not enable it they will, the
fact that it's off by default seems to be a hint that it
is typically a bad idea to enable it. But when is it a good idea?
I think the core difference between GUEST_FULLY_CSUM and GUEST_CSUM
is that
GUEST_CSUM may generate partially checksummed TCP/UDP packets,
causing xdp to fail to load.
GUEST_FULLY_CSUM forces fully checksummed TCP/UDP packets to be
generated so xdp can load.
For the rest, I guess there is no difference between GUEST_FULLY_CSUM
and GUEST_CSUM.

As for when the driver enables the offload, I think I have already
mentioned:
Enable this offload in the interface where XDP is loaded,
Disable this offload in the interfaces where XDP is unloaded.
