net: loopback: use NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE for name_assign_type

2022-12-21T16:36:38Z

[ Upstream commit 31d929de5a112ee1b977a89c57de74710894bbbf ] When the name_assign_type attribute was introduced (commit 685343fc3ba6, "net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute"), the loopback device was explicitly mentioned as one which would make use of NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: ... NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device [...] Switch to that so that reading /sys/class/net/lo/name_assign_type produces something sensible instead of returning -EINVAL.

net: use u64_stats_t in struct pcpu_lstats

2019-11-08T04:03:08Z

In order to fix the data-race found by KCSAN, we can use the new u64_stats_t type and its accessors instead of plain u64 fields. This will still generate optimal code for both 32 and 64 bit platforms. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: provide dev_lstats_add() helper

Many network drivers need it and hand-coded the same function. In order to ease u64_stats_t adoption, it is time to factorize. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

loopback: fix lockdep splat

2019-07-03T18:24:38Z

dev_init_scheduler() and dev_activate() expect the caller to hold RTNL. Since we don't want blackhole device to be initialized per ns, we are initializing at init.

loopback: create blackhole net device similar to loopack.

2019-07-02T02:34:46Z

Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead" dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b) MTU on this device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb(). and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex. Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: loopback: clear skb->tstamp before netif_rx()

2018-10-20T08:01:28Z

At least UDP / TCP stacks can now cook skbs with a tstamp using MONOTONIC base (or arbitrary values with SCM_TXTIME) Since loopback driver does not call (directly or indirectly) skb_scrub_packet(), we need to clear skb->tstamp so that net_timestamp_check() can eventually resample the time, using ktime_get_real().
