mpls: allow TTL propagation to IP packets to be configured

2017-03-13T22:29:22Z

Provide the ability to control on a per-route basis whether the TTL value from an MPLS packet is propagated to an IPv4/IPv6 packet when the last label is popped as per the theoretical model in RFC 3443 through a new route attribute, RTA_TTL_PROPAGATE which can be 0 to mean disable propagation and 1 to mean enable propagation. In order to provide the ability to change the behaviour for packets arriving with IPv4/IPv6 Explicit Null labels and to provide an easy way for a user to change the behaviour for all existing routes without having to reprogram them, a global knob is provided. This is done through the addition of a new per-namespace sysctl, "net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate", which defaults to enabled. If the per-route attribute is set (either enabled or disabled) then it overrides the global configuration.

net: sched: make default fifo qdiscs appear in the dump

2017-03-13T05:53:02Z

The original reason [1] for having hidden qdiscs (potential scalability issues in qdisc_match_from_root() with single linked list in case of large amount of qdiscs) has been invalidated by 59cc1f61f0 ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable"). This allows us for bringing more clarity and determinism into the dump by making default pfifo qdiscs visible. We're not turning this on by default though, at it was deemed [2] too intrusive / unnecessary change of default behavior towards userspace. Instead, TCA_DUMP_INVISIBLE netlink attribute is introduced, which allows applications to request complete qdisc hierarchy dump, including the ones that have always been implicit/invisible. Singleton noop_qdisc stays invisible, as teaching the whole infrastructure about singletons would require quite some surgery with very little gain (seeing no qdisc or seeing noop qdisc in the dump is probably setting the same user expectation).

ipmr, ip6mr: add RTNH_F_UNRESOLVED flag to unresolved cache entries

2017-01-03T15:04:31Z

While working with ipmr, we noticed that it is impossible to determine if an entry is actually unresolved or its IIF interface has disappeared (e.g. virtual interface got deleted). These entries look almost identical to user-space when dumping or receiving notifications. So in order to recognize them add a new RTNH_F_UNRESOLVED flag which is set when sending an unresolved cache entry to user-space.

net: core: add UID to flows, rules, and routes

2016-11-04T18:45:23Z

- Define a new FIB rule attributes, FRA_UID_RANGE, to describe a range of UIDs. - Define a RTA_UID attribute for per-UID route lookups and dumps. - Support passing these attributes to and from userspace via rtnetlink. The value INVALID_UID indicates no UID was specified. - Add a UID field to the flow structures. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: add new RTM_GETSTATS message to dump link stats

2016-04-20T19:43:42Z

This patch adds a new RTM_GETSTATS message to query link stats via netlink from the kernel. RTM_NEWLINK also dumps stats today, but RTM_NEWLINK returns a lot more than just stats and is expensive in some cases when frequent polling for stats from userspace is a common operation. RTM_GETSTATS is an attempt to provide a light weight netlink message to explicity query only link stats from the kernel on an interface. The idea is to also keep it extensible so that new kinds of stats can be added to it in the future. This patch adds the following attribute for NETDEV stats: struct nla_policy ifla_stats_policy[IFLA_STATS_MAX + 1] = { [IFLA_STATS_LINK_64] = { .len = sizeof(struct rtnl_link_stats64) }, }; Like any other rtnetlink message, RTM_GETSTATS can be used to get stats of a single interface or all interfaces with NLM_F_DUMP. Future possible new types of stat attributes: link af stats: - IFLA_STATS_LINK_IPV6 (nested. for ipv6 stats) - IFLA_STATS_LINK_MPLS (nested. for mpls/mdev stats) extended stats: - IFLA_STATS_LINK_EXTENDED (nested. extended software netdev stats like bridge, vlan, vxlan etc) - IFLA_STATS_LINK_HW_EXTENDED (nested. extended hardware stats which are available via ethtool today) This patch also declares a filter mask for all stat attributes. User has to provide a mask of stats attributes to query. filter mask can be specified in the new hdr 'struct if_stats_msg' for stats messages. Other important field in the header is the ifindex. This api can also include attributes for global stats (eg tcp) in the future. When global stats are included in a stats msg, the ifindex in the header must be zero. A single stats message cannot contain both global and netdev specific stats. To easily distinguish them, netdev specific stat attributes name are prefixed with IFLA_STATS_LINK_ Without any attributes in the filter_mask, no stats will be returned. This patch has been tested with mofified iproute2 ifstat. Suggested-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
