bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications

2019-07-04T19:30:48Z

Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon' milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'. Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of `miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should be used to configure this feature. When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can observe the 500 ms delay is respected: 20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable. The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to lower the value of `bond->send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the counter each time. iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new attribute through `ip link'.

bonding: add support for xstats and export 3ad stats

2019-01-22T20:04:14Z

This patch adds support for extended statistics (xstats) call to the bonding. The first user would be the 3ad code which counts the following events: - LACPDU Rx/Tx - LACPDU unknown type Rx - LACPDU illegal Rx - Marker Rx/Tx - Marker response Rx/Tx - Marker unknown type Rx All of these are exported via netlink as separate attributes to be easily extensible as we plan to add more in the future. Similar to how the bridge and other xstats exports, the structure inside is: [ IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS ] -> [ LINK_XSTATS_TYPE_BOND ] -> [ BOND_XSTATS_3AD ] -> [ 3ad stats attributes ] With this structure it's easy to add more stat types later.

net: bridge: add support for user-controlled bool options

2018-11-27T23:04:15Z

We have been adding many new bridge options, a big number of which are boolean but still take up netlink attribute ids and waste space in the skb. Recently we discussed learning from link-local packets[1] and decided yet another new boolean option will be needed, thus introducing this API to save some bridge nl space. The API supports changing the value of multiple boolean options at once via the br_boolopt_multi struct which has an optmask (which options to set, bit per opt) and optval (options' new values). Future boolean options will only be added to the br_boolopt_id enum and then will have to be handled in br_boolopt_toggle/get. The API will automatically add the ability to change and export them via netlink, sysfs can use the single boolopt function versions to do the same. The behaviour with failing/succeeding is the same as with normal netlink option changing. If an option requires mapping to internal kernel flag or needs special configuration to be enabled then it should be handled in br_boolopt_toggle. It should also be able to retrieve an option's current state via br_boolopt_get. v2: WARN_ON() on unsupported option as that shouldn't be possible and also will help catch people who add new options without handling them for both set and get. Pass down extack so if an option desires it could set it on error and be more user-friendly.

geneve: Allow configuration of DF behaviour

2018-11-09T01:13:08Z

draft-ietf-nvo3-geneve-08 says: It is strongly RECOMMENDED that Path MTU Discovery ([RFC1191], [RFC1981]) be used by setting the DF bit in the IP header when Geneve packets are transmitted over IPv4 (this is the default with IPv6). Now that ICMP error handling is working for GENEVE, we can comply with this recommendation. Make this configurable, though, to avoid breaking existing setups. By default, DF won't be set. It can be set or inherited from inner IPv4 packets. If it's configured to be inherited and we are encapsulating IPv6, it will be set. This only applies to non-lwt tunnels: if an external control plane is used, tunnel key will still control the DF flag. v2: - DF behaviour configuration only applies for non-lwt tunnels, apply DF setting only if (!geneve->collect_md) in geneve_xmit_skb() (Stephen Hemminger) Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Signed-off-by: David S.

vxlan: Allow configuration of DF behaviour

2018-11-09T01:13:08Z

Allow users to set the IPv4 DF bit in outgoing packets, or to inherit its value from the IPv4 inner header. If the encapsulated protocol is IPv6 and DF is configured to be inherited, always set it. For IPv4, inheriting DF from the inner header was probably intended from the very beginning judging by the comment to vxlan_xmit(), but it wasn't actually implemented -- also because it would have done more harm than good, without handling for ICMP Fragmentation Needed messages. According to RFC 7348, "Path MTU discovery MAY be used". An expired RFC draft, draft-saum-nvo3-pmtud-over-vxlan-05, whose purpose was to describe PMTUD implementation, says that "is a MUST that Vxlan gateways [...] SHOULD set the DF-bit [...]", whatever that means. Given this background, the only sane option is probably to let the user decide, and keep the current behaviour as default. This only applies to non-lwt tunnels: if an external control plane is used, tunnel key will still control the DF flag. v2: - DF behaviour configuration only applies for non-lwt tunnels, move DF setting to if (!info) block in vxlan_xmit_one() (Stephen Hemminger) Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Signed-off-by: David S.

net: bridge: add support for per-port vlan stats

2018-10-12T17:18:58Z

This patch adds an option to have per-port vlan stats instead of the default global stats. The option can be set only when there are no port vlans in the bridge since we need to allocate the stats if it is set when vlans are being added to ports (and respectively free them when being deleted). Also bump RTNL_MAX_TYPE as the bridge is the largest user of options. The current stats design allows us to add these without any changes to the fast-path, it all comes down to the per-vlan stats pointer which, if this option is enabled, will be allocated for each port vlan instead of using the global bridge-wide one.

2018-09-13T03:38:22Z

Similar with commit 72f6d71e491e6 ("vxlan: add ttl inherit support"), currently ttl == 0 means "use whatever default value" on geneve instead of inherit inner ttl. To respect compatibility with old behavior, let's add a new IFLA_GENEVE_TTL_INHERIT for geneve ttl inherit support.
