net/packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

2020-11-10T00:41:40Z

One use case of PACKET_FANOUT is lockless reception with one socket per CPU. 256 is a practical limit on increasingly many machines. Increase PACKET_FANOUT_MAX to 64K. Expand setsockopt PACKET_FANOUT to take an extra argument max_num_members. Also explicitly define a fanout_args struct, instead of implicitly casting to an integer. This documents the API and simplifies the control flow. If max_num_members is not specified or is set to 0, then 256 is used, same as before.

packet: add sockopt to ignore outgoing packets

2018-09-06T05:09:37Z

Currently, the only way to ignore outgoing packets on a packet socket is via the BPF filter. With MSG_ZEROCOPY, packets that are looped into AF_PACKET are copied in dev_queue_xmit_nit(), and this copy happens even if the filter run from packet_rcv() would reject them. So the presence of a packet socket on the interface takes away the benefits of MSG_ZEROCOPY, even if the packet socket is not interested in outgoing packets. (Even when MSG_ZEROCOPY is not used, the skb is unnecessarily cloned, but the cost for that is much lower.) Add a socket option to allow AF_PACKET sockets to ignore outgoing packets to solve this. Note that the *BSDs already have something similar: BIOCSSEESENT/BIOCSDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRFILT. The first intended user is lldpd. Signed-off-by: Vincent Whitchurch Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.

packet: add PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_UNIQUEID to assign new fanout group id.

2017-04-24T16:46:00Z

Fanout uses a per net global namespace. A process that intends to create a new fanout group can accidentally join an existing group. It is not possible to detect this. Add socket option PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_UNIQUEID. When specified the supplied fanout group id must be set to 0, and the kernel chooses an id that is not already in use. This is an ephemeral flag so that other sockets can be added to this group using setsockopt, but NOT specifying this flag. The current getsockopt(..., PACKET_FANOUT, ...) can be used to retrieve the new group id. We assume that there are not a lot of fanout groups and that this is not a high frequency call. The method assigns ids starting at zero and increases until it finds an unused id. It keeps track of the last assigned id, and uses it as a starting point to find new ids.

packet: add extended BPF fanout mode

Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_EBPF that accepts an en extended BPF program to select a socket. Update the internal eBPF program by passing to socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA a file descriptor returned by bpf().

packet: add classic BPF fanout mode

2015-08-17T21:22:47Z

Add fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF that accepts a classic BPF program to select a socket. This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One example use case is application layer load balancing. The QUIC protocol, for instance, encodes a connection ID in UDP payload. Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data associated with the socket group. Fanout mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF is the only user so far.

packet: rollover statistics

2015-05-13T19:43:00Z

Rollover indicates exceptional conditions. Export a counter to inform socket owners of this state. If no socket with sufficient room is found, rollover fails. Also count these events. Finally, also count when flows are rolled over early thanks to huge flow detection, to validate its correctness.

packet: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp

2014-07-29T18:39:50Z

No device driver will ever return an skb_shared_info structure with syststamp non-zero, so remove the branch that tests for this and optionally marks the packet timestamp as TP_STATUS_TS_SYS_HARDWARE. Do not remove the definition TP_STATUS_TS_SYS_HARDWARE, as processes may refer to it. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
