Subject: [Cake] [PATCH net-next v6 4/4] net/sched: cake: hash before segmenting and reject an overlong split
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 05:55:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <QDISC-BA27.v6.r0.20261014054826-4@mojatatu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <QDISC-BA27.v6.r0.20261014054826@mojatatu.com>

The Fix:
with CAKE_FLAG_SPLIT_GSO, cake computes the flow/host hash keys, then
splits a GSO skb into segments it accounts individually. Key extraction
must run on the unsegmented skb -- skb_gso_segment() can rewrite an
encapsulated packet's headers to the inner ones -- and the resolution
must wait until the packet is admitted, since it commits the
set-associative tags, host indices and way counters that a later
rejection would leave mutated (a GSO skb whose segmentation fails was
dropped with that state already committed).

Split cake_hash() into a side-effect-free cake_hash_keys(), run on the
unsegmented skb, and cake_hash_resolve(), run only once the packet is
admitted. Move the split-GSO path ahead of the resolution: sum the
segment list, test the total against the ceiling before linking any
segment, and drop the whole list on rejection so no persistent state is
committed. The list is deferred to to_free so the tail segment's
sock_wfree() never runs under the qdisc lock; a fraglist GSO, where
skb_segment_list() returns the original skb as the head, drops the
caller's reference and queues the list once instead of self-linking it.

v5 -> v6: split out of the single v5 patch; the hash logic is unchanged.
