can: dev: Move device back to init netns on owning netns delete

2021-03-30T12:41:42Z

commit 3a5ca857079ea022e0b1b17fc154f7ad7dbc150f upstream. When a non-initial netns is destroyed, the usual policy is to delete all virtual network interfaces contained, but move physical interfaces back to the initial netns. This keeps the physical interface visible on the system. CAN devices are somewhat special, as they define rtnl_link_ops even if they are physical devices. If a CAN interface is moved into a non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the interface vanish instead of moving it back to the initial netns. default_device_exit() skips CAN interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Reproducer: ip netns add foo ip link set can0 netns foo ip netns delete foo WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 84 at net/core/dev.c:11030 ops_exit_list+0x38/0x60 CPU: 1 PID: 84 Comm: kworker/u4:2 Not tainted 5.10.19 #1 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0x94/0xa8) [] (dump_stack) from [] (__warn+0xb8/0x114) [] (__warn) from [] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x7c/0xac) [] (warn_slowpath_fmt) from [] (ops_exit_list+0x38/0x60) [] (ops_exit_list) from [] (cleanup_net+0x230/0x380) [] (cleanup_net) from [] (process_one_work+0x1d8/0x438) [] (process_one_work) from [] (worker_thread+0x64/0x5a8) [] (worker_thread) from [] (kthread+0x148/0x14c) [] (kthread) from [] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x2c) To properly restore physical CAN devices to the initial netns on owning netns exit, introduce a flag on rtnl_link_ops that can be set by drivers. For CAN devices setting this flag, default_device_exit() considers them non-virtual, applying the usual namespace move. The issue was introduced in the commit mentioned below, as at that time CAN devices did not have a dellink() operation. Fixes: e008b5fc8dc7 ("net: Simplfy default_device_exit and improve batching.")

net: rtnetlink: add support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute

2016-06-30T10:15:04Z

This patch adds support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute which allows to export per-slave statistics if the master device supports the linkxstats callback. The attribute is passed down to the linkxstats callback and it is up to the callback user to use it (an example has been added to the only current user - the bridge). This allows us to query only specific slaves of master devices like bridge ports and export only what we're interested in instead of having to dump all ports and searching only for a single one. This will be used to export per-port IGMP/MLD stats and also per-port vlan stats in the future, possibly other statistics as well. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rtnetlink: add linkxstats callbacks and attribute

2016-05-03T02:27:06Z

Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute. Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks). Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculation

2015-10-22T02:15:20Z

if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and rtnl_link_get_size(). The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

rtnetlink: RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS support to avoid dumping inet/inet6 stats

2015-09-15T22:25:02Z

Many commonly used functions like getifaddrs() invoke RTM_GETLINK to dump the interface information, and do not need the the AF_INET6 statististics that are always returned by default from rtnl_fill_ifinfo(). Computing the statistics can be an expensive operation that impacts scaling, so it is desirable to avoid this if the information is not needed. This patch adds a the RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS extended info flag that can be passed with netlink_request() to avoid statistics computation for the ifinfo path.

openvswitch: Use regular VXLAN net_device device

2015-07-21T17:39:07Z

This gets rid of all OVS specific VXLAN code in the receive and transmit path by using a VXLAN net_device to represent the vport. Only a small shim layer remains which takes care of handling the VXLAN specific OVS Netlink configuration. Unexports vxlan_sock_add(), vxlan_sock_release(), vxlan_xmit_skb() since they are no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: add link netns id to interface messages

2015-01-19T19:21:26Z

This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link' netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels). With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
