      ppp: add rtnetlink device creation support · 96d934c7
      Guillaume Nault 提交于
      Define PPP device handler for use with rtnetlink.
      The only PPP specific attribute is IFLA_PPP_DEV_FD. It is mandatory and
      contains the file descriptor of the associated /dev/ppp instance (the
      file descriptor which would have been used for ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT) in
      the ioctl-based API). The PPP device is removed when this file
      descriptor is released (same behaviour as with ioctl based PPP
      devices).
      
      PPP devices created with the rtnetlink API behave like the ones created
      with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). In particular existing ioctls work the same
      way, no matter how the PPP device was created.
      The rtnl callbacks are also assigned to ioctl based PPP devices. This
      way, rtnl messages have the same effect on any PPP devices.
      The immediate effect is that all PPP devices, even ioctl-based
      ones, can now be removed with "ip link del".
      
      A minor difference still exists between ioctl and rtnl based PPP
      interfaces: in the device name, the number following the "ppp" prefix
      corresponds to the PPP unit number for ioctl based devices, while it is
      just an unrelated incrementing index for rtnl ones.

      rtnetlink: add new RTM_GETSTATS message to dump link stats · 10c9ead9
      Roopa Prabhu 提交于
      This patch adds a new RTM_GETSTATS message to query link stats via netlink
      from the kernel. RTM_NEWLINK also dumps stats today, but RTM_NEWLINK
      returns a lot more than just stats and is expensive in some cases when
      frequent polling for stats from userspace is a common operation.
      
      RTM_GETSTATS is an attempt to provide a light weight netlink message
      to explicity query only link stats from the kernel on an interface.
      The idea is to also keep it extensible so that new kinds of stats can be
      added to it in the future.
      
      This patch adds the following attribute for NETDEV stats:
      struct nla_policy ifla_stats_policy[IFLA_STATS_MAX + 1] = {
              [IFLA_STATS_LINK_64]  = { .len = sizeof(struct rtnl_link_stats64) },
      };
      
      Like any other rtnetlink message, RTM_GETSTATS can be used to get stats of
      a single interface or all interfaces with NLM_F_DUMP.
      
      Future possible new types of stat attributes:
      link af stats:
          - IFLA_STATS_LINK_IPV6  (nested. for ipv6 stats)
          - IFLA_STATS_LINK_MPLS  (nested. for mpls/mdev stats)
      extended stats:
          - IFLA_STATS_LINK_EXTENDED (nested. extended software netdev stats like bridge,
            vlan, vxlan etc)
          - IFLA_STATS_LINK_HW_EXTENDED (nested. extended hardware stats which are
            available via ethtool today)
      
      This patch also declares a filter mask for all stat attributes.
      User has to provide a mask of stats attributes to query. filter mask
      can be specified in the new hdr 'struct if_stats_msg' for stats messages.
      Other important field in the header is the ifindex.
      
      This api can also include attributes for global stats (eg tcp) in the future.
      When global stats are included in a stats msg, the ifindex in the header
      must be zero. A single stats message cannot contain both global and
      netdev specific stats. To easily distinguish them, netdev specific stat
      attributes name are prefixed with IFLA_STATS_LINK_
      
      Without any attributes in the filter_mask, no stats will be returned.
      
      This patch has been tested with mofified iproute2 ifstat.

      vxlan: implement GPE · e1e5314d
      Jiri Benc 提交于
      Implement VXLAN-GPE. Only COLLECT_METADATA is supported for now (it is
      possible to support static configuration, too, if there is demand for it).
      
      The GPE header parsing has to be moved before iptunnel_pull_header, as we
      need to know the protocol.
      
      v2: Removed what was called "L2 mode" in v1 of the patchset. Only "L3 mode"
          (now called "raw mode") is added by this patch. This mode does not allow
          Ethernet header to be encapsulated in VXLAN-GPE when using ip route to
          specify the encapsulation, IP header is encapsulated instead. The patch
          does support Ethernet to be encapsulated, though, using ETH_P_TEB in
          skb->protocol. This will be utilized by other COLLECT_METADATA users
          (openvswitch in particular).
      
          If there is ever demand for Ethernet encapsulation with VXLAN-GPE using
          ip route, it's easy to add a new flag switching the interface to
          "Ethernet mode" (called "L2 mode" in v1 of this patchset). For now,
          leave this out, it seems we don't need it.
      
          Disallowed more flag combinations, especially RCO with GPE.
          Added comment explaining that GBP and GPE cannot be set together.

      net: add rx_nohandler stat counter · 6e7333d3

      This adds an rx_nohandler stat counter, along with a sysfs statistics
      node, and copies the counter out via netlink as well.

      ipv6: addrconf: use stable address generator for ARPHRD_NONE · cc9da6cc
      Bjørn Mork 提交于
      Add a new address generator mode, using the stable address generator
      with an automatically generated secret. This is intended as a default
      address generator mode for device types with no EUI64 implementation.
      The new generator is used for ARPHRD_NONE interfaces initially, adding
      default IPv6 autoconf support to e.g. tun interfaces.
      
      If the addrgenmode is set to 'random', either by default or manually,
      and no stable secret is available, then a random secret is used as
      input for the stable-privacy address generator.  The secret can be
      read and modified like manually configured secrets, using the proc
      interface.  Modifying the secret will change the addrgen mode to
      'stable-privacy' to indicate that it operates on a known secret.
      
      Existing behaviour of the 'stable-privacy' mode is kept unchanged. If
      a known secret is available when the device is created, then the mode
      will default to 'stable-privacy' as before.  The mode can be manually
      set to 'random' but it will behave exactly like 'stable-privacy' in
      this case. The secret will not change.
