net: Add l3mdev rule

2016-06-08T18:36:02Z

Currently, VRFs require 1 oif and 1 iif rule per address family per VRF. As the number of VRF devices increases it brings scalability issues with the increasing rule list. All of the VRF rules have the same format with the exception of the specific table id to direct the lookup. Since the table id is available from the oif or iif in the loopup, the VRF rules can be consolidated to a single rule that pulls the table from the VRF device. This patch introduces a new rule attribute l3mdev. The l3mdev rule means the table id used for the lookup is pulled from the L3 master device (e.g., VRF) rather than being statically defined. With the l3mdev rule all of the basic VRF FIB rules are reduced to 1 l3mdev rule per address family (IPv4 and IPv6). If an admin wishes to insert higher priority rules for specific VRFs those rules will co-exist with the l3mdev rule. This capability means current VRF scripts will co-exist with this new simpler implementation. Currently, the rules list for both ipv4 and ipv6 look like this: $ ip ru ls 1000: from all oif vrf1 lookup 1001 1000: from all iif vrf1 lookup 1001 1000: from all oif vrf2 lookup 1002 1000: from all iif vrf2 lookup 1002 1000: from all oif vrf3 lookup 1003 1000: from all iif vrf3 lookup 1003 1000: from all oif vrf4 lookup 1004 1000: from all iif vrf4 lookup 1004 1000: from all oif vrf5 lookup 1005 1000: from all iif vrf5 lookup 1005 1000: from all oif vrf6 lookup 1006 1000: from all iif vrf6 lookup 1006 1000: from all oif vrf7 lookup 1007 1000: from all iif vrf7 lookup 1007 1000: from all oif vrf8 lookup 1008 1000: from all iif vrf8 lookup 1008 ... 32765: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default With the l3mdev rule the list is just the following regardless of the number of VRFs: $ ip ru ls 1000: from all lookup [l3mdev table] 32765: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default (Note: the above pretty print of the rule is based on an iproute2 prototype.

net: ipv6: use common fib_default_rule_pref

2015-09-09T21:19:50Z

This switches IPv6 policy routing to use the shared fib_default_rule_pref() function of IPv4 and DECnet. It is also used in multicast routing for IPv4 as well as IPv6. The motivation for this patch is a complaint about iproute2 behaving inconsistent between IPv4 and IPv6 when adding policy rules: Formerly, IPv6 rules were assigned a fixed priority of 0x3FFF whereas for IPv4 the assigned priority value was decreased with each rule added. Since then all users of the default_pref field have been converted to assign the generic function fib_default_rule_pref(), fib_nl_newrule() may just use it directly instead. Therefore get rid of the function pointer altogether and make fib_default_rule_pref() static, as it's not used outside fib_rules.c anymore. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

fib: Add fib rule match on tunnel id

2015-07-21T17:39:06Z

This add the ability to select a routing table based on the tunnel id which allows to maintain separate routing tables for each virtual tunnel network. ip rule add from all tunnel-id 100 lookup 100 ip rule add from all tunnel-id 200 lookup 200 A new static key controls the collection of metadata at tunnel level upon demand.

net: ipv4 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down

2015-06-24T09:15:54Z

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'. net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0 ... When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the interface has IFF_UP cleared. With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed (interface p8p1 is link-down): default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache 80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15 cache While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2 90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1 cache 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1 cache and the output changes to what one would expect. If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when p8p1 is down: default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15 70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1 80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown 90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2 Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down. v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches, this actually makes a behavioral change if the sysctl is set. Also took suggestion from Alex to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. v3: Code clean-ups to make it more readable and efficient as well as a reverse path check fix. v4: Drop binary sysctl v5: Whitespace fixups from Dave v6: Style changes from Dave and checkpatch suggestions v7: One more checkpatch fixup Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek Signed-off-by: Dinesh Dutt Acked-by: Scott Feldman Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv4: FIB Local/MAIN table collapse

2015-03-11T20:22:14Z

This patch is meant to collapse local and main into one by converting tb_data from an array to a pointer. Doing this allows us to point the local table into the main while maintaining the same variables in the table. As such the tb_data was converted from an array to a pointer, and a new array called data is added in order to still provide an object for tb_data to point to. In order to track the origin of the fib aliases a tb_id value was added in a hole that existed on 64b systems. Using this we can also reverse the merge in the event that custom FIB rules are enabled. With this patch I am seeing an improvement of 20ns to 30ns for routing lookups as long as custom rules are not enabled, with custom rules enabled we fall back to split tables and the original behavior.

fib_rules.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-20T18:49:33Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

fib_rules: fix suppressor names and default values

2013-08-03T17:40:23Z

This change brings the suppressor attribute names into line; it also changes the data types to provide a more consistent interface. While -1 indicates that the suppressor is not enabled, values >= 0 for suppress_prefixlen or suppress_ifgroup reject routing decisions violating the constraint. This changes the previously presented behaviour of suppress_prefixlen, where a prefix length _less_ than the attribute value was rejected. After this change, a prefix length less than *or* equal to the value is considered a violation of the rule constraint. It also changes the default values for default and newly added rules (disabling any suppression for those). Signed-off-by: Stefan Tomanek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
