[PATCH net-next v2 00/12] BIG TCP for UDP tunnels
From: Alice Mikityanska <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-26 20:16:36
From: Alice Mikityanska <redacted> This series is a follow-up to "BIG TCP without HBH in IPv6", and it adds support for BIG TCP IPv4/IPv6 workloads in vxlan and geneve. Now that IPv6 BIG TCP doesn't require stripping the HBH in all various combinations in tunneled traffic, adding BIG TCP becomes feasible. Patches 01-03 are small fixups to some related code that I'm changing in the series. Patch 04 adds accessors for the length field in the UDP header, as suggested by Paolo in review. The usage of udp_set_len is then added in the following patches that start using length=0 in BIG TCP UDP packets. Patches 05-07 close the gaps that prevent BIG TCP packets from going through UDP tunnel code. Patch 08 re-adds proper validation of malformed packets that arrive with length=0 from the wire. Patch 09 is for proper formatting in tcpdump (set UDP len to 0 rather than a trimmed value on overflow). Patches 10-11 bump up tso_max_size for VXLAN and GENEVE. Patch 12 adds selftests. Thanks all! v2 changes: Addressed the review comments: added UDP len helpers, consolidated UDP len sanity checks in patch 08 into one, added selftests. Added fixups to related code (patch 01-03). v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250923134742.1399800-1-maxtram95@gmail.com/ (local) Alice Mikityanska (11): net/sched: act_csum: don't mangle UDP tunnel GSO packets udp: gso: Simplify handling length in GSO_PARTIAL geneve: Fix off-by-one comparing with GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE net: Use helpers to get/set UDP len tree-wide net: Enable BIG TCP with partial GSO udp: Support gro_ipv4_max_size > 65536 udp: Support BIG TCP GSO packets where they can occur udp: Validate UDP length in udp_gro_receive udp: Set length in UDP header to 0 for big GSO packets vxlan: Enable BIG TCP packets selftests: net: Add a test for BIG TCP in UDP tunnels Daniel Borkmann (1): geneve: Enable BIG TCP packets drivers/infiniband/core/lag.c | 2 +- drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c | 4 +- drivers/net/amt.c | 6 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_txrx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_txrx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_txrx.c | 2 +- .../marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_txrx.c | 2 +- .../net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rx.c | 4 +- .../ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_selftest.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/falcon/selftest.c | 4 +- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/selftest.c | 4 +- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/siena/selftest.c | 4 +- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c | 2 +- .../stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_selftests.c | 4 +- drivers/net/geneve.c | 6 +- drivers/net/netdevsim/dev.c | 2 +- drivers/net/netdevsim/psample.c | 2 +- drivers/net/netdevsim/psp.c | 8 +- drivers/net/vxlan/vxlan_core.c | 2 + drivers/net/wireguard/receive.c | 2 +- include/linux/udp.h | 16 ++ include/net/udplite.h | 4 +- include/trace/events/icmp.h | 2 +- lib/tests/blackhole_dev_kunit.c | 2 +- net/6lowpan/nhc_udp.c | 10 +- net/core/netpoll.c | 2 +- net/core/pktgen.c | 4 +- net/core/selftests.c | 4 +- net/core/skbuff.c | 10 +- net/core/tso.c | 3 +- net/ipv4/esp4.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/fou_core.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/ipconfig.c | 6 +- net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic_main.c | 4 +- net/ipv4/route.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/udp.c | 8 +- net/ipv4/udp_offload.c | 58 +++---- net/ipv4/udp_tunnel_core.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/esp6.c | 5 +- net/ipv6/fou6.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/ip6_udp_tunnel.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/udp.c | 3 +- net/ipv6/udp_offload.c | 2 +- net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_udp.c | 19 ++- net/netfilter/nf_log_syslog.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/nf_nat_helper.c | 2 +- net/psp/psp_main.c | 2 +- net/sched/act_csum.c | 12 +- net/xfrm/xfrm_nat_keepalive.c | 2 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/Makefile | 1 + .../testing/selftests/net/big_tcp_tunnels.sh | 145 ++++++++++++++++++ 54 files changed, 298 insertions(+), 114 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/net/big_tcp_tunnels.sh -- 2.52.0
