      ixgbe: add setlink, getlink support to ixgbe and ixgbevf · 815cccbf
      John Fastabend 提交于
      This adds support for the net device ops to manage the embedded
      hardware bridge on ixgbe devices. With this patch the bridge
      mode can be toggled between VEB and VEPA to support stacking
      macvlan devices or using the embedded switch without any SW
      component in 802.1Qbg/br environments.
      
      Additionally, this adds source address pruning to the ixgbevf
      driver to prune any frames sent back from a reflective relay on
      the switch. This is required because the existing hardware does
      not support this. Without it frames get pushed into the stack
      with its own src mac which is invalid per 802.1Qbg VEPA
      definition.

      net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooks · 77162022
      John Fastabend 提交于
      This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can
      now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should
      be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master'
      device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge,
      or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command
      will be handled by the master device as well so that current user
      space tools continue to work as expected.
      
      The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the
      device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed
      and programmed in the embedded bridge.
      
      Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the
      command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows
      user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge
      in sync.
      
      There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set
      when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears
      the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed
      successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any
      error occurs.
      
      To support this new net device ops were added to call into
      the device and the existing bridging code was refactored
      to use these. There should be no required changes in user space
      to support the current bridge behavior.
      
      A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this,
      
                veth0  veth2
                  |      |
                ------------
                |  bridge0 |   <---- software bridging
                ------------
                     /
                     /
        ethx.y      ethx
          VF         PF
           \         \          <---- propagate FDB entries to HW
           \         \
        --------------------
        |  Embedded Bridge |    <---- hardware offloaded switching
        --------------------
      
      In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0'
      to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing
      the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which
      then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood
      these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the
      embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific
      to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this
      into the DSA framework generates similar management issues.
      
      Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then
      delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled
      ixgbe driver:
      
      # br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3
      # br fdb
      port    mac addr                flags
      veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
      veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local

      veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
      #br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
      #br fdb
      port    mac addr                flags
      veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
      veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local
      eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
      eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static

      #br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
      
      I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all. It
      is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW
      bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly
      the same message passing.

      rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation · 115c9b81
      Greg Rose 提交于
      Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK.  The mask
      is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that
      certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application.
      At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to
      indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information
      about the VFs belonging to the interface.
      
      This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have
      large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned
      by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions.
      Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with
      the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will
      not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel.
      
      Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net
      devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the
      info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed
      in via the new netlink attribute filter mask.  If no filter
      mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
      
      With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink
      attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible
      in the future.

      net: dcbnl, add multicast group for DCB · 314b4778
      John Fastabend 提交于
      Now that dcbnl is being used in many cases by more
      than a single agent it is beneficial to be notified
      when some entity either driver or user space has
      changed the DCB attributes.
      
      Today applications either end up polling the interface
      or relying on a user space database to maintain the DCB
      state and post events. Polling is a poor solution for
      obvious reasons. And relying on a user space database
      has its own downside. Namely it has created strange
      boot dependencies requiring the database be populated
      before any applications dependent on DCB attributes
      starts or the application goes into a polling loop.
      Populating the database requires negotiating link
      setting with the peer and can take anywhere from less
      than a second up to a few seconds depending on the switch
      implementation.
      
      Perhaps more importantly if another application or an
      embedded agent sets a DCB link attribute the database
      has no way of knowing other than polling the kernel.
      This prevents applications from responding quickly to
      changes in link events which at least in the FCoE case
      and probably any other protocols expecting a lossless
      link may result in IO errors.
      
      By adding a multicast group for DCB we have clean way
      to disseminate kernel DCB link attributes up to user
      space. Avoiding the need for user space to maintain
      a coherant database and disperse events that potentially
      do not reflect the current link state.

      ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables · d1db275d
      Patrick McHardy 提交于
      This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
      named "tables".
      
      Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
      issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is
      stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(),
      getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT)
      is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg
      devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of
      devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for
      compatibility reasons.
      
      Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
      similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
      are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
      additionally.
      
      Example usage:
      
      - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:
      
      uint32_t table = 123;
      setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));
      
      - create routing rules directing packets to the new table:
      
      # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
      # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

      net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families · 25239cee

      Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
      be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
      without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.
      
      This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
      as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
      without breaking compatibility.
      
      This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
      rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
      that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
      above that may be used arbitrarily.

      net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window · 31d12926
      laurent chavey 提交于
      Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size
      advertised by passive and active TCP connections.
      The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial
      receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived
      TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http
      requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results
      in increased latency to complete the transaction.
      Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported
      using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the
      ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window.
      The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive
      window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window
      than the ones bounded by slow start.

      listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't
      get the right route (the child request one) until much later
      after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand.

      netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic · 1ce85fe4
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
      
      If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
      an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
      else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
      requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
      unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
      notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
      that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.
      
      This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
      wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
      (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
      that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
      if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
      state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.
      
      This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
      value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
      (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
      which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
      is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
      requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
      fails and should resync itself.

      Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates
      to process context since the locking seems overly complicated,
      for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to
      use mutex_is_locked().

      [IPv6]: Export userland ND options through netlink (RDNSS support) · 31910575
      Pierre Ynard 提交于
      As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access
      relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed
      and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic
      way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but
      support to control which options are exported could be easily added.
      
      A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor
      Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the
      moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is
      included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by
      new use cases.
