if_link: Add an additional parameter to ifla_vf_info for RSS querying

2015-10-27T13:31:42Z

[ Upstream commit 01a3d796813d6302af9f828f34b73d21a4b96c9a ] Add configuration setting for drivers to allow/block an RSS Redirection Table and a Hash Key querying for discrete VFs. On some devices VF share the mentioned above information with PF and querying it may adduce a theoretical security risk. We want to let a system administrator to decide if he/she wants to take this risk or not. Signed-off-by: Vlad Zolotarov Tested-by: Phil Schmitt Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

macvlan: add source mode

2014-09-29T19:37:01Z

This patch adds a new mode of operation to macvlan, called "source". It allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used to match against source mac address from received frames on underlying interface. This enables creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard port or tag based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based behavior, where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that. Configuration is done through the netlink interface using e.g.: ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source ip link add link eth0 name macvlan1 type macvlan mode source ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:11:11:11:11:11 ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:22:22:22:22:22 ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33 ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33 ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:44:44:44:44:44 This allows clients with MAC addresses 00:11:11:11:11:11, 00:22:22:22:22:22 to be part of only VLAN associated with macvlan0 interface. Clients with MAC addresses 00:44:44:44:44:44 with only VLAN associated with macvlan1 interface. And client with MAC address 00:33:33:33:33:33 to be associated with both VLANs.

ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modes

2014-07-11T22:05:45Z

This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up, monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it. One more use-case by Dan Williams: WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND. The kernel cannot generate the correct LL address for two reasons: 1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address, or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware. Thus the EUI64 and the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong. The real LL address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary commands. 2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from kernel assignments. Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL address of the PPP interface and its peer. But the kernel has already assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface. So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

net-next:v4: Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool.

2014-05-23T19:04:02Z

o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed to have a bandwidth of at least this value. max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth of up to this value. o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced which takes 4 arguments: netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler. o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet implemented by driver. o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then, userland should read back the other value from driver and set both for IFLA_VF_RATE. Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool. o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then IFLA_VF_RATE should override. o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user. o Usage example: - ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5a, tx rate 900 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 900Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 max_tx_rate 300 min_tx_rate 200 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5a, tx rate 300 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 300Mbps, min_tx_rate 200Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 max_tx_rate 600 rate 300 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5, tx rate 600 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 600Mbps, min_tx_rate 200Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a Signed-off-by: Sucheta Chakraborty Signed-off-by: David S.
