License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54Z

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

xdp: add reporting of offload mode

2017-06-23T17:42:20Z

Extend the XDP_ATTACHED_* values to include offloaded mode. Let drivers report whether program is installed in the driver or the HW by changing the prog_attached field from bool to u8 (type of the netlink attribute). Exploit the fact that the value of XDP_ATTACHED_DRV is 1, therefore since all drivers currently assign the mode with double negation: mode = !!xdp_prog; no drivers have to be modified.

xdp: add HW offload mode flag for installing programs

2017-06-23T17:42:19Z

Add an installation-time flag for requesting that the program be installed only if it can be offloaded to HW. Internally new command for ndo_xdp is added, this way we avoid putting checks into drivers since they all return -EINVAL on an unknown command.

rtnl: Add support for netdev event to link messages

2017-05-27T22:51:41Z

When netdev events happen, a rtnetlink_event() handler will send messages for every event in it's white list. These messages contain current information about a particular device, but they do not include the iformation about which event just happened. So, it is impossible to tell what just happend for these events. This patch adds a new extension to RTM_NEWLINK message called IFLA_EVENT that would have an encoding of event that triggered this message. This would allow the the message consumer to easily determine if it needs to perform certain actions. Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich Acked-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xdp: refine xdp api with regards to generic xdp

2017-05-12T01:30:57Z

While working on the iproute2 generic XDP frontend, I noticed that as of right now it's possible to have native *and* generic XDP programs loaded both at the same time for the case when a driver supports native XDP. The intended model for generic XDP from b5cdae3291f7 ("net: Generic XDP") is, however, that only one out of the two can be present at once which is also indicated as such in the XDP netlink dump part. The main rationale for generic XDP is to ease accessibility (in case a driver does not yet have XDP support) and to generically provide a semantical model as an example for driver developers wanting to add XDP support. The generic XDP option for an XDP aware driver can still be useful for comparing and testing both implementations. However, it is not intended to have a second XDP processing stage or layer with exactly the same functionality of the first native stage. Only reason could be to have a partial fallback for future XDP features that are not supported yet in the native implementation and we probably also shouldn't strive for such fallback and instead encourage native feature support in the first place. Given there's currently no such fallback issue or use case, lets not go there yet if we don't need to. Therefore, change semantics for loading XDP and bail out if the user tries to load a generic XDP program when a native one is present and vice versa. Another alternative to bailing out would be to handle the transition from one flavor to another gracefully, but that would require to bring the device down, exchange both types of programs, and bring it up again in order to avoid a tiny window where a packet could hit both hooks. Given this complicates the logic for just a debugging feature in the native case, I went with the simpler variant. For the dump, remove IFLA_XDP_FLAGS that was added with b5cdae3291f7 and reuse IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED for indicating the mode. Dumping all or just a subset of flags that were used for loading the XDP prog is suboptimal in the long run since not all flags are useful for dumping and if we start to reuse the same flag definitions for load and dump, then we'll waste bit space. What we really just want is to dump the mode for now. Current IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED semantics are: nothing was installed (0), a program is running at the native driver layer (1). Thus, add a mode that says that a program is running at generic XDP layer (2). Applications will handle this fine in that older binaries will just indicate that something is attached at XDP layer, effectively this is similar to IFLA_XDP_FLAGS attr that we would have had modulo the redundancy.

xdp: add flag to enforce driver mode

2017-05-12T01:30:57Z

After commit b5cdae3291f7 ("net: Generic XDP") we automatically fall back to a generic XDP variant if the driver does not support native XDP. Allow for an option where the user can specify that always the native XDP variant should be selected and in case it's not supported by a driver, just bail out.

bridge: add per-port broadcast flood flag

2017-04-27T20:34:29Z

Support for l2 multicast flood control was added in commit b6cb5ac8331b ("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag"). It allows broadcast as it was introduced specifically for unknown multicast flood control. But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to be disabled. For this purpose, introduce a flag to disable the flooding of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

net: Generic XDP

2017-04-25T17:33:49Z

This provides a generic SKB based non-optimized XDP path which is used if either the driver lacks a specific XDP implementation, or the user requests it via a new IFLA_XDP_FLAGS value named XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE. It is arguable that perhaps I should have required something like this as part of the initial XDP feature merge. I believe this is critical for two reasons: 1) Accessibility. More people can play with XDP with less dependencies. Yes I know we have XDP support in virtio_net, but that just creates another depedency for learning how to use this facility. I wrote this to make life easier for the XDP newbies. 2) As a model for what the expected semantics are. If there is a pure generic core implementation, it serves as a semantic example for driver folks adding XDP support. One thing I have not tried to address here is the issue of XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, thanks to Daniel for spotting that. It seems incredibly expensive to do a skb_cow(skb, XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) or whatever even if the XDP program doesn't try to push headers at all. I think we really need the verifier to somehow propagate whether certain XDP helpers are used or not. v5: - Handle both negative and positive offset after running prog - Fix mac length in XDP_TX case (Alexei) - Use rcu_dereference_protected() in free_netdev (kbuild test robot) v4: - Fix MAC header adjustmnet before calling prog (David Ahern) - Disable LRO when generic XDP is installed (Michael Chan) - Bypass qdisc et al. on XDP_TX and record the event (Alexei) - Do not perform generic XDP on reinjected packets (DaveM) v3: - Make sure XDP program sees packet at MAC header, push back MAC header if we do XDP_TX. (Alexei) - Elide GRO when generic XDP is in use. (Alexei) - Add XDP_FLAG_SKB_MODE flag which the user can use to request generic XDP even if the driver has an XDP implementation. (Alexei) - Report whether SKB mode is in use in rtnl_xdp_fill() via XDP_FLAGS attribute. (Daniel) v2: - Add some "fall through" comments in switch statements based upon feedback from Andrew Lunn - Use RCU for generic xdp_prog, thanks to Johannes Berg.

This reverts commit def12888c161e6fec0702e5ec9c3962846e3a21d. As per discussion between Roopa Prabhu and David Ahern, it is advisable that we instead have the code collect the setlink triggered events into a bitmask emitted in the IFLA_EVENT netlink attribute. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
