bridge: uapi: add per vlan tunnel info

2017-02-03T20:21:21Z

New nested netlink attribute to associate tunnel info per vlan. This is used by bridge driver to send tunnel metadata to bridge ports in vlan tunnel mode. This patch also adds new per port flag IFLA_BRPORT_VLAN_TUNNEL to enable vlan tunnel mode. off by default. One example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). User can configure per-vlan tunnel information which the bridge driver can use to bridge vlan into the corresponding vn-segment. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: multicast to unicast

2017-01-24T17:39:52Z

Implements an optional, per bridge port flag and feature to deliver multicast packets to any host on the according port via unicast individually. This is done by copying the packet per host and changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly. multicast-to-unicast works on top of the multicast snooping feature of the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which are interested in it and signalized this via IGMP/MLD reports previously. This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones (e.g. wifi). However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1 report suppression takes place. This feature is disabled by default. The initial patch and idea is from Felix Fietkau.

net: AF-specific RTM_GETSTATS attributes

2017-01-17T19:38:43Z

Add the functionality for including address-family-specific per-link stats in RTM_GETSTATS messages. This is done through adding a new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute under which address family attributes are nested and then the AF-specific attributes can be further nested. This follows the model of IFLA_AF_SPEC on RTM_*LINK messages and it has the advantage of presenting an easily extended hierarchy. The rtnl_af_ops structure is extended to provide AFs with the opportunity to fill and provide the size of their stats attributes. One alternative would have been to provide AFs with the ability to add attributes directly into the RTM_GETSTATS message without a nested hierarchy. I discounted this approach as it increases the rate at which the 32 attribute number space is used up and it makes implementation a little more tricky for stats dump resuming (at the moment the order in which attributes are added to the message has to match the numeric order of the attributes). Another alternative would have been to register per-AF RTM_GETSTATS handlers. I discounted this approach as I perceived a common use-case to be getting all the stats for an interface and this approach would necessitate multiple requests/dumps to retrieve them all.

bpf, xdp: allow to pass flags to dev_change_xdp_fd

2016-11-30T15:27:20Z

Add an IFLA_XDP_FLAGS attribute that can be passed for setting up XDP along with IFLA_XDP_FD, which eventually allows user space to implement typical add/replace/delete logic for programs. Right now, calling into dev_change_xdp_fd() will always replace previous programs. When passed XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST, we can handle this more graceful when requested by returning -EBUSY in case we try to attach a new program, but we find that another one is already attached. This will be used by upcoming front-end for iproute2 as well. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: mcast: add MLDv2 querier support

2016-11-21T18:16:58Z

This patch adds basic support for MLDv2 queries, the default is MLDv1 as before. A new multicast option - multicast_mld_version, adds the ability to change it between 1 and 2 via netlink and sysfs. The MLD option is disabled if CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: mcast: add IGMPv3 query support

2016-11-21T18:16:58Z

This patch adds basic support for IGMPv3 queries, the default is IGMPv2 as before. A new multicast option - multicast_igmp_version, adds the ability to change it between 2 and 3 via netlink and sysfs. The option struct member is in a 4 byte hole in net_bridge. There also a few minor style adjustments in br_multicast_new_group and br_multicast_add_group. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Update API for VF vlan protocol 802.1ad support

2016-09-24T12:01:26Z

Introduce new rtnl UAPI that exposes a list of vlans per VF, giving the ability for user-space application to specify it for the VF, as an option to support 802.1ad. We adjusted IP Link tool to support this option. For future use cases, the new UAPI supports multiple vlans. For now we limit the list size to a single vlan in kernel. Add IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST in addition to IFLA_VF_VLAN to keep backward compatibility with older versions of IP Link tool. Add a vlan protocol parameter to the ndo_set_vf_vlan callback. We kept 802.1Q as the drivers' default vlan protocol. Suitable ip link tool command examples: Set vf vlan protocol 802.1ad: ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 proto 802.1ad Set vf to VST (802.1Q) mode: ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 proto 802.1Q Or by omitting the new parameter ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 Signed-off-by: Moshe Shemesh Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan Signed-off-by: David S.

ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode

2016-09-19T05:25:22Z

In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns. IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it impossible to do so. This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without changing the skb->dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN to change the skb->dev just before handing over skb to L4.
