net: track link-status of ipv4 nexthops

2015-06-24T09:15:54Z

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken, but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status. This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force option previously used. v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled. v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave. v6: Style fixups noticed by Dave; ran checkpatch to be sure I got them all.

rename RTNH_F_EXTERNAL to RTNH_F_OFFLOAD

2015-05-15T02:45:39Z

RTNH_F_EXTERNAL today is printed as "offload" in iproute2 output. This patch renames the flag to be consistent with what the user sees. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: notify netns id events

2015-04-07T21:29:41Z

With this patch, netns ids that are created and deleted are advertised into the group RTNLGRP_NSID. Because callers of rtnl_net_notifyid() already know the id of the peer, there is no need to call __peernet2id() in rtnl_net_fill(). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: expose RFC4191 route preference via rtnetlink

2015-03-12T03:28:09Z

This makes it possible to retain the route preference when RAs are handled in userspace. Signed-off-by: Lubomir Rintel Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: add RTNH_F_EXTERNAL flag for fib offload

2015-03-06T05:24:57Z

Add new RTNH_F_EXTERNAL flag to mark fib entries offloaded externally, for example to a switchdev switch device. Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mpls: Multicast route table change notifications

2015-03-04T05:26:06Z

Unlike IPv4 this code notifies on all cases where mpls routes are added or removed and it never automatically removes routes. Avoiding both the userspace confusion that is caused by omitting route updates and the possibility of a flood of netlink traffic when an interface goes doew. For now reserved labels are handled automatically and userspace is not notified. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mpls: Netlink commands to add, remove, and dump routes

2015-03-04T05:26:06Z

This change adds two new netlink routing attributes: RTA_VIA and RTA_NEWDST. RTA_VIA specifies the specifies the next machine to send a packet to like RTA_GATEWAY. RTA_VIA differs from RTA_GATEWAY in that it includes the address family of the address of the next machine to send a packet to. Currently the MPLS code supports addresses in AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_PACKET. For AF_INET and AF_INET6 the destination mac address is acquired from the neighbour table. For AF_PACKET the destination mac_address is specified in the netlink configuration. I think raw destination mac address support with the family AF_PACKET will prove useful. There is MPLS-TP which is defined to operate on machines that do not support internet packets of any flavor. Further seem to be corner cases where it can be useful. At this point I don't care much either way. RTA_NEWDST specifies the destination address to forward the packet with. MPLS typically changes it's destination address at every hop. For a swap operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with a length of one label. For a push operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with two or more labels. For a pop operation RTA_NEWDST is not specified or equivalently an emtpy RTAN_NEWDST is specified. Those new netlink attributes are used to implement handling of rt-netlink RTM_NEWROUTE, RTM_DELROUTE, and RTM_GETROUTE messages, to maintain the MPLS label table. rtm_to_route_config parses a netlink RTM_NEWROUTE or RTM_DELROUTE message, verify no unhandled attributes or unhandled values are present and sets up the data structures for mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del. I did my best to match up with the existing conventions with the caveats that MPLS addresses are all destination-specific-addresses, and so don't properly have a scope. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

netns: add rtnl cmd to add and get peer netns ids

2015-01-19T19:21:18Z

With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this netns). The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this function allocates one. These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example in case of a x-netns interface. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: new filter RTEXT_FILTER_BRVLAN_COMPRESSED

2015-01-12T21:47:04Z

This filter is same as RTEXT_FILTER_BRVLAN except that it tries to compress the consecutive vlans into ranges. This helps on systems with large number of configured vlans. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: tcp: add RTAX_CC_ALGO fib handling

2015-01-06T03:55:24Z

This patch adds the minimum necessary for the RTAX_CC_ALGO congestion control metric to be set up and dumped back to user space. While the internal representation of RTAX_CC_ALGO is handled as a u32 key, we avoided to expose this implementation detail to user space, thus instead, we chose the netlink attribute that is being exchanged between user space to be the actual congestion control algorithm name, similarly as in the setsockopt(2) API in order to allow for maximum flexibility, even for 3rd party modules. It is a bit unfortunate that RTAX_QUICKACK used up a whole RTAX slot as it should have been stored in RTAX_FEATURES instead, we first thought about reusing it for the congestion control key, but it brings more complications and/or confusion than worth it.
