While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of CONFIG_CGROUP_<SUBSYS>.

This patch modifies the GRO stack to avoid the use of "network_header" and associated macros like ip_hdr() and ipv6_hdr() in order to allow an arbitary number of IP hdrs (v4 or v6) to be used in the encapsulation chain. This lays the foundation for various IP tunneling support (IP-in-IP, GRE, VXLAN, SIT,...) to be added later. With this patch, the GRO stack traversing now is mostly based on skb_gro_offset rather than special hdr offsets saved in skb (e.g., skb->network_header). As a result all but the top layer (i.e., the the transport layer) must have hdrs of the same length in order for a pkt to be considered for aggregation. Therefore when adding a new encap layer (e.g., for tunneling), one must check and skip flows (e.g., by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->same_flow to 0) that have a different hdr length. Note that unlike the network header, the transport header can and will continue to be set by the GRO code since there will be at most one "transport layer" in the encap chain. Signed-off-by: NH.K.

TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such as the one discussed here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/ This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose. When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to 'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from 'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL. Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer. Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid within its wrapped area for all readers.

Some network drivers use dev_kfree_skb_any() and dev_kfree_skb_irq() helpers to free skbs, both for dropped packets and TX completed ones. We need to separate the two causes to get better diagnostics given by dropwatch or "perf record -e skb:kfree_skb" This patch provides two new helpers, dev_consume_skb_any() and dev_consume_skb_irq() to be used for consumed skbs. __dev_kfree_skb_irq() is slightly optimized to remove one atomic_dec_and_test() in fast path, and use this_cpu_{r|w} accessors.

This is the second bug from sharing the storage between the close_list and the unreg_list.

由 Tejun Heo 提交于
sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface. The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example. * attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is arbitrary. * Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(), class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing the whole stack backwards. The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is unnecessary and against basic design principles. This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that * sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped. * sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers around the ns aware functions. * ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary. * Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns() and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns(). * driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns() with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

Currently, even though we can access any linked device, we can't attach anything to it, which is vital to properly manage them. To fix this, add a new void *private to netdev_adjacent and functions setting/getting it (per link), so that we can save, per example, bonding's slave structures there, per slave device. netdev_master_upper_dev_link_private(dev, upper_dev, private) links dev to upper dev and populates the neighbour link only with private. netdev_lower_dev_get_private{,_rcu}() returns the private, if found.

Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices. This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path. To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure - adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list), i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible, currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't change the main linked logic at all. Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following rules: netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_* If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to get better stack traces. CC: "David S.

This patch adds two more ndo ops: ndo_add_rx_vxlan_port() and ndo_del_rx_vxlan_port(). Drivers can get notifications through the above functions about changes of the UDP listening port of VXLAN. Also, when physical ports come up, now they can call vxlan_get_rx_port() in order to obtain the port number(s) of the existing VXLAN interface in case they already up before them. This information about the listening UDP port would be used for VXLAN related offloads.

This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same way as the upper list. It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch. There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent list, the simplest would be: /---- eth0.10 ---\ eth0- --- bond0 \---- eth0.20 ---/ where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times. To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as the number of times the device was added to the list. The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic. I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces. Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be: 128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the devnet_rename_seq sequence. This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name()) and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt. The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying the access to give the writer process a chance to finish. The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the reader process in the contended case, but this is better than deadlocking the system.

Caught by sparse: - __rcu: missing annotation to sd->flow_limit - __user: direct access in cpumask_scnprintf Also - add endline character when printing bitmap if room in buffer - avoid bucket overflow by reducing FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY The last item warrants some explanation. The hashtable buckets are subject to overflow if FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY is larger than or equal to bucket size, since all packets may end up in a single bucket. The current (rather arbitrary) history value of 256 happens to match the buffer size (u8). As a result, with a single flow, the first 128 packets are accepted (correct), the second 128 packets dropped (correct) and then the history[] array has filled, so that each subsequent new packet causes an increment in the bucket for new_flow plus a decrement for old_flow: a steady state. This is fine if packets are dropped, as the steady state goes away as soon as a mix of traffic reappears. But, because the 256th packet overflowed the bucket to 0: no packets are dropped. Instead of explicitly adding an overflow check, this patch changes FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY to never be able to overflow a single bucket.

commit 351638e7 (net: pass info struct via netdevice notifier) breaks booting of my KVM guest, this is due to we still forget to pass struct netdev_notifier_info in several places.

So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

Now when upper device is changed, event is not propagated via RT Netlink to userspace. Userspace might never now about the change. Fix this by adding upper-device-change notifier event. Signed-off-by: NJiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
