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.

net sched actions: add time filter for action dumping

2017-07-31T02:28:08Z

This patch adds support for filtering based on time since last used. When we are dumping a large number of actions it is useful to have the option of filtering based on when the action was last used to reduce the amount of data crossing to user space. With this patch the user space app sets the TCA_ROOT_TIME_DELTA attribute with the value in milliseconds with "time of interest since now". The kernel converts this to jiffies and does the filtering comparison matching entries that have seen activity since then and returns them to user space. Old kernels and old tc continue to work in legacy mode since they dont specify this attribute. Some example (we have 400 actions bound to 400 filters); at installation time. Using updated when tc setting the time of interest to 120 seconds earlier (we see 400 actions): prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000| grep index | wc -l 400 go get some coffee and wait for > 120 seconds and try again: prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120000 | grep index | wc -l 0 Lets see a filter bound to one of these actions: .... filter pref 10 u32 filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 2 success 1) match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 1 ) action order 1: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1145 sec used 802 sec Action statistics: Sent 84 bytes 1 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 .... that coffee took long, no? It was good. Now lets ping -c 1 127.0.0.2, then run the actions again: prompt$ hackedtc actions ls action gact since 120 | grep index | wc -l 1 More details please: prompt$ hackedtc -s actions ls action gact since 120000 action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1270 sec used 30 sec Action statistics: Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 And the filter? filter pref 10 u32 filter pref 10 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter pref 10 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:10 (rule hit 4 success 2) match 7f000002/ffffffff at 12 (success 2 ) action order 1: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 23 ref 2 bind 1 installed 1324 sec used 84 sec Action statistics: Sent 168 bytes 2 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

net sched actions: dump more than TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO actions per batch

2017-07-31T02:28:08Z

When you dump hundreds of thousands of actions, getting only 32 per dump batch even when the socket buffer and memory allocations allow is inefficient. With this change, the user will get as many as possibly fitting within the given constraints available to the kernel. The top level action TLV space is extended. An attribute TCA_ROOT_FLAGS is used to carry flags; flag TCA_FLAG_LARGE_DUMP_ON is set by the user indicating the user is capable of processing these large dumps. Older user space which doesnt set this flag doesnt get the large (than 32) batches. The kernel uses the TCA_ROOT_COUNT attribute to tell the user how many actions are put in a single batch. As such user space app knows how long to iterate (independent of the type of action being dumped) instead of hardcoded maximum of 32 thus maintaining backward compat. Some results dumping 1.5M actions below: first an unpatched tc which doesnt understand these features... prompt$ time -p tc actions ls action gact | grep index | wc -l 1500000 real 1388.43 user 2.07 sys 1386.79 Now lets see a patched tc which sets the correct flags when requesting a dump: prompt$ time -p updatedtc actions ls action gact | grep index | wc -l 1500000 real 178.13 user 2.02 sys 176.96 That is about 8x performance improvement for tc app which sets its receive buffer to about 32K.

rtnetlink: add restricted rtnl groups for ipv4 and ipv6 mroute

2017-06-21T15:22:52Z

Add RTNLGRP_{IPV4,IPV6}_MROUTE_R as two new restricted groups for the NETLINK_ROUTE family. Binding to these groups specifically requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to allow multicast of sensitive messages (e.g. mroute cache reports).

net: sched: introduce multichain support for filters

2017-05-17T19:22:13Z

Instead of having only one filter per block, introduce a list of chains for every block. Create chain 0 by default. UAPI is extended so the user can specify which chain he wants to change. If the new attribute is not specified, chain 0 is used. That allows to maintain backward compatibility. If chain does not exist and user wants to manipulate with it, new chain is created with specified index. Also, when last filter is removed from the chain, the chain is destroyed.

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).
