switchdev: pass pointer to fib_info instead of copy

2016-06-24T17:18:16Z

[ Upstream commit da4ed55165d41b1073f9a476f1c18493e9bf8c8e ] The problem is that fib_info->nh is [0] so the struct fib_info allocation size depends on number of nexthops. If we just copy fib_info, we do not copy the nexthops info and driver accesses memory which is not ours. Given the fact that fib4 does not defer operations and therefore it does not need copy, just pass the pointer down to drivers as it was done before.

net: switchdev: fix return code of fdb_dump stub

2015-11-16T20:24:37Z

rtnl_fdb_dump always expects an index to be returned by the ndo_fdb_dump op, but when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is off, it returns an error. Fix that by returning the given unmodified idx. A similar fix was 0890cf6cb6ab ("switchdev: fix return value of switchdev_port_fdb_dump in case of error") but for the CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=y case.

switchdev: introduce possibility to defer obj_add/del

2015-10-15T13:09:49Z

Similar to the attr usecase, the caller knows if he is holding RTNL and is in atomic section. So let the called to decide the correct call variant. This allows drivers to sleep inside their ops and wait for hw to get the operation status. Then the status is propagated into switchdev core. This avoids silent errors in drivers.

switchdev: remove pointers from switchdev objects

2015-10-15T13:09:49Z

When object is used in deferred work, we cannot use pointers in switchdev object structures because the memory they point at may be already used by someone else. So rather do local copy of the value.

switchdev: allow caller to explicitly request attr_set as deferred

2015-10-15T13:09:48Z

Caller should know if he can call attr_set directly (when holding RTNL) or if he has to defer the att_set processing for later. This also allows drivers to sleep inside attr_set and report operation status back to switchdev core. Switchdev core then warns if status is not ok, instead of silent errors happening in drivers. Benefit from newly introduced switchdev deferred ops infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

switchdev: introduce switchdev deferred ops infrastructure

2015-10-15T13:09:46Z

Introduce infrastructure which will be used internally to defer ops. Note that the deferred ops are queued up and either are processed by scheduled work or explicitly by user calling deferred_process function. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

switchdev: skip over ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP when recursing ports

2015-10-12T12:20:20Z

This allows us to recurse over all the ports, skipping over unsupporting ports. Without the change, the recursion would stop at first unsupported port. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

switchdev: add bridge ageing_time attribute

2015-10-12T12:20:19Z

Setting the stage to push bridge-level attributes down to port driver so hardware can be programmed accordingly. Bridge-level attribute example is ageing_time. This is a per-bridge attribute, not a per-bridge-port attr. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
