In terms of the guest this is only for TX. Guest RX is a different thing, this is actually coalescing of segmented UDP packets into a large one. This feature is not defined in the virtio spec yet and the support of it first of all depends on the OS. For example: TCP LSO (guest TX) is supported almost by all the versions of Windows. TCP RSC (coalescing of TCP segments) is supported by Win 8 / Server 2012 and up. UDP segmentation is supported by Windows kernels 1903+ UDP coalescing is defined by Windows kernels 2004+ and not supported by the driver yet. > > Thanks > > > > > default: > > return -EINVAL; > > } >

So virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() can be called by all the followings: 1) receive_buf() which is guest RX. 2) tun_get_user() which is guest TX 3) tap_get_user() which is guest TX 4) {t}packet_send() which is userspace TX So it touches for both RX and TX. > Guest RX is a different thing, this is actually coalescing of > segmented UDP packets into a large one. Another case, the packet could be sent from another VM (like the UFO case). Supporting that for both TX and RX and greatly improve the performance of VM2VM traffic.

Let's try to take a deeper look to see what is the correct thing to do and please correct me if I'm wrong: 1. For USO we do not need to guess the protocol as it is used with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM (unlike UFO) and the USO packets transmitted by the guest are under the same clause as both VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCP, i.e. under if (hdr->flags & VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM) { 2. If we even define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDPv4_L4 and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDPv6_L4 - both will be translated to SKB_GSO_UDP_L4, so this information is immediately lost (the code will look like: case VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP4_L4: case VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP6_L4 gso_type = SKB_GSO_UDP; 3. When we will define the respective guest features (like VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_USO4 VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_USO6) we will need to recreate the virtio_net header from the skb when both v4 and v6 have the same SKB_GSO_UDP_L4, (see virtio_net_hdr_from_skb) and I'm not sure whether somebody needs the exact v4 or v6 information on guest RX path. 4. What is completely correct is that when we will start working with the guest RX path we will need to define something like NETIF_F_USO4 and NETIF_F_USO6 and configure them according to exact guest offload capabilities. Do you agree?

We should also enforce that skb->protocol is initialized to one of htons(ETH_P_IP) or htons(ETH_P_IPV6), so that it does not have to be inferred by parsing. These requirements were not enforced for previous values, and cannot be introduced afterwards, which has led to have to add that extra code to handle these obscure edge cases.

I don't immediately see the need for advertising this device feature on a per-protocol basis. Can you elaborate?

As this feature is new and is not used in any public release of any misbehaving driver, probably it is enough to state in the spec that VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM is required for USO packets. The spec states that the USO feature requires checksumming feature. > > These requirements were not enforced for previous values, and cannot > be introduced afterwards, which has led to have to add that extra code > to handle these obscure edge cases. > > I agree that with well behaved configurations, the need for separate > _V4 and _V6 variants is not needed. > > > and the USO packets > > transmitted by the guest are under the same clause as both > > VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCP, i.e. under if (hdr->flags & > > VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM) { > > 2.

Can you elaborate? Separate offload setting (controlled by the guest) for v4 and v6 in guest RX path is mandatory, at least Windows always requires this for any offload. In this case it seems easy to have also virtio-net device features to be indicated separately (the TAP/TUN should report its capabilities).
