[PATCH 0/4] tcp: use csum_iov() in tcp_update_check_tcp[4|6]()
by Laurent Vivier 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

For vhost-user, we will need to spread TCP payload over several buffers. To re-use tcp_update_check_tcp[4|6](), provide an iovec rather than a pointer to a buffer. This series updates also csum_iov() and pcap_iov() to add an offset of bytes to skip in the iovec array. It's based on top of "tcp: Use tcp_payload_t rather than tcphdr" that is added in the series for convenience.

[PATCH v5 0/4] Add vhost-user support to passt. (part 3)
by Laurent Vivier 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

This series of patches adds vhost-user support to passt and then allows passt to connect to QEMU network backend using virtqueue rather than a socket. With QEMU, rather than using to connect: -netdev stream,id=s,server=off,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/passt_1.socket we will use: -chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/passt_1.socket -netdev vhost-user,id=netdev0,chardev=chr0 -device virtio-net,netdev=netdev0 -object memory-backend-memfd,id=memfd0,share=on,size=$RAMSIZE -numa node,memdev=memfd0 The memory backend is needed to share data between passt and QEMU.

[PATCH] tcp: Use tcp_payload_t rather than tcphdr
by Laurent Vivier 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

As tcp_update_check_tcp4() and tcp_update_check_tcp6() compute the checksum using the TCP header and the TCP payload, it is clearer to use a pointer to tcp_payload_t that includes tcphdr and payload rather than a pointer to tcphdr (and guessing TCP header is followed by the payload). Move tcp_payload_t and tcp_flags_t to tcp_internal.h. (They will be used also by vhost-user).

[PATCH] tcp: unify payload and flags l2 frames array

In order to reduce memory and code footprint, we merge the array for l2 flag frames into the one for payload frames. This change also ensures that no flag message will be sent out over the l2 media bypassing already queued payload messages.

While I still don't understand some steps in the report it's giving, I did spot some real problems in the vicinity. It turns out fixing those also fixes the Coverity warning, so here we go.
