strparser: Stream parser for messages

2016-08-17T23:36:23Z

This patch introduces a utility for parsing application layer protocol messages in a TCP stream. This is a generalization of the mechanism implemented of Kernel Connection Multiplexor. The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility functions, and a data ready function. A stream parser instance is defined by a strparse structure that is bound to a TCP socket. The function to initialize the structure is: int strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk, struct strp_callbacks *cb); csk is the TCP socket being bound to and cb are the parser callbacks. The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready callback that is set on the socket: void strp_tcp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp); A parser is bound to a TCP socket by setting data_ready function to strp_tcp_data_ready so that all receive indications on the socket go through the parser. This is assumes that sk_user_data is set to the strparser structure. There are four callbacks. - parse_msg is called to parse the message (returns length or error). - rcv_msg is called when a complete message has been received - read_sock_done is called when data_ready function exits - abort_parser is called to abort the parser The input to parse_msg is an skbuff which contains next message under construction. The backend processing of parse_msg will parse the application layer protocol headers to determine the length of the message in the stream. The possible return values are: >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message 0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which can proceed to read the messages itself other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace assuming that synchronzation is lost and the stream is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket) In the case of error return (< 0) strparse will stop the parser and report and error to userspace. The application must deal with the error. To handle the error the strparser is unbound from the TCP socket. If the error indicates that the stream TCP socket is at recoverable point (ESTRPIPE) then the application can read the TCP socket to process the stream. Once the application has dealt with the exceptions in the stream, it may again bind the socket to a strparser to continue data operations. Note that ENODATA may be returned to the application. In this case parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE, however strparser was unable to maintain synchronization of the stream (i.e. some of the message in question was already read by the parser). strp_pause and strp_unpause are used to provide flow control. For instance, if rcv_msg is called but the upper layer can't immediately consume the message it can hold the message and pause strparser. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/ncsi: Resource management

2016-07-20T03:49:16Z

NCSI spec (DSP0222) defines several objects: package, channel, mode, filter, version and statistics etc. This introduces the data structs to represent those objects and implement functions to manage them. Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI stack. * The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by "struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv". The later one is used by NCSI stack internally. * Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. It's represented by "struct ncsi_package" and identified by 3-bits ID. * Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID. * Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version", "struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and "struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately. * Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack works in terms of command and response. This introduces "struct ncsi_req" to represent a complete NCSI transaction made of NCSI request and response. link: https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0222_1.1.0.pdf Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan Acked-by: Joel Stanley Signed-off-by: David S.

kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module

2016-03-09T21:36:14Z

This module implements the Kernel Connection Multiplexor. Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a facility that provides a message based interface over TCP for generic application protocols. With KCM an application can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using datagram sockets.

net: Introduce L3 Master device abstraction

2015-09-30T03:40:32Z

L3 master devices allow users of the abstraction to influence FIB lookups for enslaved devices. Current API provides a means for the master device to return a specific FIB table for an enslaved device, to return an rtable/custom dst and influence the OIF used for fib lookups.

make default ->i_fop have ->open() fail with ENXIO

2014-12-11T02:32:15Z

As it is, default ->i_fop has NULL ->open() (along with all other methods). The only case where it matters is reopening (via procfs symlink) a file that didn't get its ->f_op from ->i_fop - anything else will have ->i_fop assigned to something sane (default would fail on read/write/ioctl/etc.). Unfortunately, such case exists - alloc_file() users, especially anon_get_file() ones. There we have tons of opened files of very different kinds sharing the same inode. As the result, attempt to reopen those via procfs succeeds and you get a descriptor you can't do anything with. Moreover, in case of sockets we set ->i_fop that will only be used on such reopen attempts - and put a failing ->open() into it to make sure those do not succeed. It would be simpler to put such ->open() into default ->i_fop and leave it unchanged both for anon inode (as we do anyway) and for socket ones. Result: * everything going through do_dentry_open() works as it used to * sock_no_open() kludge is gone * attempts to reopen anon-inode files fail as they really ought to * ditto for aio_private_file() * ditto for perfmon - this one actually tried to imitate sock_no_open() trick, but failed to set ->i_fop, so in the current tree reopens succeed and yield completely useless descriptor. Intent clearly had been to fail with -ENXIO on such reopens; now it actually does. * everything else that used alloc_file() keeps working - it has ->i_fop set for its inodes anyway Signed-off-by: Al Viro

net: introduce generic switch devices support

2014-12-03T04:01:20Z

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

6lowpan: introduce new net/6lowpan directory

2014-07-11T23:53:30Z

This patch moves generic code which is used by bluetooth and ieee802154 6lowpan to a new net/6lowpan directory. This directory contains generic 6LoWPAN code which is shared between bluetooth and ieee802154 MAC-Layer. This is the IPHC - "IPv6 Header Compression" format at the moment. Which is described by RFC 6282 [0]. The BLTE 6LoWPAN draft describes that the IPHC is the same format like IEEE 802.15.4, see [1]. Futuremore we can put more code into this directory which is shared between BLTE and IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN like RFC 6775 or the routing protocol RPL RFC 6550. To avoid naming conflicts I renamed 6lowpan-y to ieee802154_6lowpan-y in net/ieee802154/Makefile.
