      net: dsa: implement auto-normalization of MTU for bridge hardware datapath · bff33f7e
      由 Vladimir Oltean 提交于 
      Many switches don't have an explicit knob for configuring the MTU
(maximum transmission unit per interface).  Instead, they do the
length-based packet admission checks on the ingress interface, for
reasons that are easy to understand (why would you accept a packet in
the queuing subsystem if you know you're going to drop it anyway).

So it is actually the MRU that these switches permit configuring.

In Linux there only exists the IFLA_MTU netlink attribute and the
associated dev_set_mtu function. The comments like to play blind and say
that it's changing the "maximum transfer unit", which is to say that
there isn't any directionality in the meaning of the MTU word. So that
is the interpretation that this patch is giving to things: MTU == MRU.

When 2 interfaces having different MTUs are bridged, the bridge driver
MTU auto-adjustment logic kicks in: what br_mtu_auto_adjust() does is it
adjusts the MTU of the bridge net device itself (and not that of the
slave net devices) to the minimum value of all slave interfaces, in
order for forwarded packets to not exceed the MTU regardless of the
interface they are received and send on.

The idea behind this behavior, and why the slave MTUs are not adjusted,
is that normal termination from Linux over the L2 forwarding domain
should happen over the bridge net device, which _is_ properly limited by
the minimum MTU. And termination over individual slave devices is
possible even if those are bridged. But that is not "forwarding", so
there's no reason to do normalization there, since only a single
interface sees that packet.

The problem with those switches that can only control the MRU is with
the offloaded data path, where a packet received on an interface with
MRU 9000 would still be forwarded to an interface with MRU 1500. And the
br_mtu_auto_adjust() function does not really help, since the MTU
configured on the bridge net device is ignored.

In order to enforce the de-facto MTU == MRU rule for these switches, we
need to do MTU normalization, which means: in order for no packet larger
than the MTU configured on this port to be sent, then we need to limit
the MRU on all ports that this packet could possibly come from. AKA
since we are configuring the MRU via MTU, it means that all ports within
a bridge forwarding domain should have the same MTU.

And that is exactly what this patch is trying to do.

>From an implementation perspective, we try to follow the intent of the
user, otherwise there is a risk that we might livelock them (they try to
change the MTU on an already-bridged interface, but we just keep
changing it back in an attempt to keep the MTU normalized). So the MTU
that the bridge is normalized to is either:

 - The most recently changed one:

   ip link set dev swp0 master br0
   ip link set dev swp1 master br0
   ip link set dev swp0 mtu 1400

   This sequence will make swp1 inherit MTU 1400 from swp0.

 - The one of the most recently added interface to the bridge:

   ip link set dev swp0 master br0
   ip link set dev swp1 mtu 1400
   ip link set dev swp1 master br0

   The above sequence will make swp0 inherit MTU 1400 as well.

      net: dsa: configure the MTU for switch ports · bfcb8132
      由 Vladimir Oltean 提交于 
      It is useful be able to configure port policers on a switch to accept
frames of various sizes:

- Increase the MTU for better throughput from the default of 1500 if it
  is known that there is no 10/100 Mbps device in the network.
- Decrease the MTU to limit the latency of high-priority frames under
  congestion, or work around various network segments that add extra
  headers to packets which can't be fragmented.

For DSA slave ports, this is mostly a pass-through callback, called
through the regular ndo ops and at probe time (to ensure consistency
across all supported switches).

The CPU port is called with an MTU equal to the largest configured MTU
of the slave ports. The assumption is that the user might want to
sustain a bidirectional conversation with a partner over any switch
port.

The DSA master is configured the same as the CPU port, plus the tagger
overhead. Since the MTU is by definition L2 payload (sans Ethernet
header), it is up to each individual driver to figure out if it needs to
do anything special for its frame tags on the CPU port (it shouldn't
except in special cases). So the MTU does not contain the tagger
overhead on the CPU port.
However the MTU of the DSA master, minus the tagger overhead, is used as
a proxy for the MTU of the CPU port, which does not have a net device.
This is to avoid uselessly calling the .change_mtu function on the CPU
port when nothing should change.

So it is safe to assume that the DSA master and the CPU port MTUs are
apart by exactly the tagger's overhead in bytes.

Some changes were made around dsa_master_set_mtu(), function which was
now removed, for 2 reasons:
  - dev_set_mtu() already calls dev_validate_mtu(), so it's redundant to
    do the same thing in DSA
  - __dev_set_mtu() returns 0 if ops->ndo_change_mtu is an absent method
That is to say, there's no need for this function in DSA, we can safely
call dev_set_mtu() directly, take the rtnl lock when necessary, and just
propagate whatever errors get reported (since the user probably wants to
be informed).

Some inspiration (mainly in the MTU DSA notifier) was taken from a
vaguely similar patch from Murali and Florian, who are credited as
co-developers down below.

      net: Fix CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=n and CONFIG_NFT_FWD_NETDEV={y, m} build · 2c64605b
      由 Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于 
      net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c: In function ‘nft_fwd_netdev_eval’:
    net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c:32:10: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘tc_redirected’
      pkt->skb->tc_redirected = 1;
              ^~
    net/netfilter/nft_fwd_netdev.c:33:10: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘tc_from_ingress’
      pkt->skb->tc_from_ingress = 1;
              ^~

To avoid a direct dependency with tc actions from netfilter, wrap the
redirect bits around CONFIG_NET_REDIRECT and move helpers to
include/linux/skbuff.h. Turn on this toggle from the ifb driver, the
only existing client of these bits in the tree.

This patch adds skb_set_redirected() that sets on the redirected bit
on the skbuff, it specifies if the packet was redirect from ingress
and resets the timestamp (timestamp reset was originally missing in the
netfilter bugfix).

Fixes: bcfabee1 ("netfilter: nft_fwd_netdev: allow to redirect to ifb via ingress")
