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

There seems to be no reason for tls_ops to be defined in netdevice.h which is included in a lot of places. Don't wrap the struct/enum declaration in ifdefs, it trickles down unnecessary ifdefs into driver code. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

failover: allow name change on IFF_UP slave interfaces

2019-04-11T05:12:26Z

When a netdev appears through hot plug then gets enslaved by a failover master that is already up and running, the slave will be opened right away after getting enslaved. Today there's a race that userspace (udev) may fail to rename the slave if the kernel (net_failover) opens the slave earlier than when the userspace rename happens. Unlike bond or team, the primary slave of failover can't be renamed by userspace ahead of time, since the kernel initiated auto-enslavement is unable to, or rather, is never meant to be synchronized with the rename request from userspace. As the failover slave interfaces are not designed to be operated directly by userspace apps: IP configuration, filter rules with regard to network traffic passing and etc., should all be done on master interface. In general, userspace apps only care about the name of master interface, while slave names are less important as long as admin users can see reliable names that may carry other information describing the netdev. For e.g., they can infer that "ens3nsby" is a standby slave of "ens3", while for a name like "eth0" they can't tell which master it belongs to. Historically the name of IFF_UP interface can't be changed because there might be admin script or management software that is already relying on such behavior and assumes that the slave name can't be changed once UP. But failover is special: with the in-kernel auto-enslavement mechanism, the userspace expectation for device enumeration and bring-up order is already broken. Previously initramfs and various userspace config tools were modified to bypass failover slaves because of auto-enslavement and duplicate MAC address. Similarly, in case that users care about seeing reliable slave name, the new type of failover slaves needs to be taken care of specifically in userspace anyway. It's less risky to lift up the rename restriction on failover slave which is already UP. Although it's possible this change may potentially break userspace component (most likely configuration scripts or management software) that assumes slave name can't be changed while UP, it's relatively a limited and controllable set among all userspace components, which can be fixed specifically to listen for the rename events on failover slaves. Userspace component interacting with slaves is expected to be changed to operate on failover master interface instead, as the failover slave is dynamic in nature which may come and go at any point. The goal is to make the role of failover slaves less relevant, and userspace components should only deal with failover master in the long run.

net: move skb->xmit_more hint to softnet data

2019-04-02T01:35:02Z

There are two reasons for this. First, the xmit_more flag conceptually doesn't fit into the skb, as xmit_more is not a property related to the skb. Its only a hint to the driver that the stack is about to transmit another packet immediately. Second, it was only done this way to not have to pass another argument to ndo_start_xmit(). We can place xmit_more in the softnet data, next to the device recursion. The recursion counter is already written to on each transmit. The "more" indicator is placed right next to it. Drivers can use the netdev_xmit_more() helper instead of skb->xmit_more to check the "more packets coming" hint. skb->xmit_more is retained (but always 0) to not cause build breakage. This change takes care of the simple s/skb->xmit_more/netdev_xmit_more()/ conversions. Remaining drivers are converted in the next patches.

2019-04-02T01:35:02Z

This fills a hole in softnet data, so no change in structure size. Also prepares for xmit_more placement in the same spot; skb->xmit_more will be removed in followup patch. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: replace ndo_get_devlink with ndo_get_devlink_port

2019-03-28T19:55:30Z

Follow-up patch is going to need a devlink port instance according to a netdev. Devlink port instance should be always available when devlink is used. So change the recently introduced ndo_get_devlink to ndo_get_devlink_port. With that, adjust the wrapper for the only user to get devlink pointer.
