      net: remove delay at device dismantle · 0115e8e3
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
      a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.
      
      These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.
      
      We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
      kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
      
      As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
      device swap on busy dst.
      
      To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
      after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.
      
      Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !
      
      Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL
      
      Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after
      IP cache removal.

      ipv6: fix incorrect route 'expires' value passed to userspace · 8253947e
      Li Wei 提交于
      When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already
      expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157)
      calculated base on INT_MAX.
      
      The reason of this problem is in the following satement:
      	rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX
      gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus
      a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.
      
      With the help of Eric Dumazet, do the out of bound checks in
      rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), _after_ conversion to clock_t.

      net: fix rtnetlink IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI handling · b1beb681
      Jiri Benc 提交于
      When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI
      flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and
      IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but
      do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits
      from dev->flags.
      
      This can be easily trigerred by doing:
      
      tcpdump -i eth0 &
      ip l s up eth0
      
      ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with
      IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set
      IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

      netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create · a31f2d17
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      This patch adds the following structure:
      
      struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
              unsigned int    groups;
              void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
              struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
      };
      
      That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
      for netlink kernel sockets.
      
      I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
      existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
      left in the original interface.
      
      That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
      easy extensibility of this interface in the future.
      
      This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

      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
      eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
      eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static
      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
      veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
      eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       local embedded
      #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.

      rtnl: provide link dump consistency info · 4e985ada
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
      which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
      the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
      the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
      message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
      of the same dump.
      
      Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
      taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
      complete list of links and not miss any.
      
      Testing:
      I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
      over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
      one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
      netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
      had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.
      
      I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
      wireless tree.  I just wanted to give this some testing right away.
