vxlan: allow configuring port range

2012-10-11T02:41:21Z

VXLAN bases source UDP port based on flow to help the receiver to be able to load balance based on outer header flow. This patch restricts the port range to the normal UDP local ports, and allows overriding via configuration. It also uses jhash of Ethernet header when looking at flows with out know L3 header.

vxlan: virtual extensible lan

2012-10-01T22:39:45Z

This is an implementation of Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network as described in draft RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02 The driver integrates a Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) functionality that learns MAC to IP address mapping. This implementation has not been tested only against the Linux userspace implementation using TAP, not against other vendor's equipment. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

IB/ipoib: Add more rtnl_link_ops callbacks

2012-10-01T21:12:22Z

Add the rtnl_link_ops changelink and fill_info callbacks, through which the admin can now set/get the driver mode, etc policies. Maintain the proprietary sysfs entries only for legacy childs. For child devices, set dev->iflink to point to the parent device ifindex, such that user space tools can now correctly show the uplink relation as done for vlan, macvlan, etc devices.

IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support

2012-09-20T20:49:17Z

Add rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, with the first usage being child device create/delete through them. Childs devices are now either legacy ones, created/deleted through the ipoib sysfs entries, or RTNL ones. Adding support for RTNL childs involved refactoring of ipoib_vlan_add which is now used by both the sysfs and the link_ops code. Also, added ndo_uninit entry to support calling unregister_netdevice_queue from the rtnl dellink entry. This required removal of calls to ipoib_dev_cleanup from the driver in flows which use unregister_netdevice, since the networking core will invoke ipoib_uninit which does exactly that.

rtnl: allow to specify number of rx and tx queues on device creation

2012-07-20T18:07:00Z

This patch introduces IFLA_NUM_TX_QUEUES and IFLA_NUM_RX_QUEUES by which userspace can set number of rx and/or tx queues to be allocated for newly created netdevice. This overrides ops->get_num_[tr]x_queues() Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags

2012-04-15T17:06:05Z

This adds FDB bridge ops to the macvlan device passthru mode. Additionally a flags field was added and a NOPROMISC bit to allow users to use passthru mode without the driver calling dev_set_promiscuity(). The flags field is a u16 placed in a 4 byte hole (consuming 2 bytes) of the macvlan_dev struct. We want to do this so that the macvlan driver or stack above the macvlan driver does not have to process every packet. For the use case where we know all the MAC addresses of the endstations above us this works well. This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes. v2: Change from distinct nopromisc mode to a flags field to configure this. This avoids the tendency to add a new mode every time we need some slightly different behavior. v3: fix error in dev_set_promiscuity and add change and get link attributes for flags.

net: Report dev->promiscuity in netlink reports.

2012-04-02T08:33:46Z

The standard ways of probing a device's promiscuity (ifi_flags, for instance) does not report the actual state of the device. This patch adds dev->promiscuity to the netlink netdevice report so that users can know for certain if the device is acting PROMISC or not. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation

2012-02-21T21:56:45Z

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. Signed-off-by: Greg Rose Signed-off-by: David S.

if_link: Add additional parameter to IFLA_VF_INFO for spoof checking

2011-10-16T20:15:38Z

Add configuration setting for drivers to turn spoof checking on or off for discrete VFs. v2 - Fix indentation problem, wrap the ifla_vf_info structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from accessing and change function paramater for the spoof check setting netdev op from u8 to bool. v3 - Preset spoof check setting to -1 so that user space tools such as ip can detect that the driver didn't report a spoofcheck setting. Prevents incorrect display of spoof check settings for drivers that don't report it. Signed-off-by: Greg Rose Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
