vxlan: allow live mac address change

2013-01-03T09:58:13+00:00

The VXLAN pseudo-device doesn't care if the mac address changes when device is up. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/vxlan: Use the underlying device index when joining/leaving multicast groups

2012-12-26T23:09:55+00:00

The socket calls from vxlan to join/leave multicast group aren't using the index of the underlying device, as a result the stack uses the first interface that is up. This results in vxlan being non functional over a device which isn't the 1st to be up. Fix this by providing the iflink field to the vxlan instance to the multicast calls.

vxlan: Add capability of Rx checksum offload for inner packet

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

This patch adds capability in vxlan to identify received checksummed inner packets and signal them to the upper layers of the stack. The driver needs to set the skb->encapsulation bit and also set the skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. Signed-off-by: Joseph Gasparakis Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: capture inner headers during encapsulation

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

Allow VXLAN to make use of Tx checksum offloading and Tx scatter-gather. The advantage to these two changes is that it also allows the VXLAN to make use of GSO. Signed-off-by: Joseph Gasparakis Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

add DOVE extensions for VXLAN

2012-11-20T18:41:28+00:00

This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes: + a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions + ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of remote DOVE clients + route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first. + netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching misses Changes since v2 - combined bools into "u32 flags" - replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr() Signed-off-by: David L Stevens Signed-off-by: David S.

vxlan: remove unused variable.

net: convert __IPTUNNEL_XMIT() to an inline function

2012-11-14T23:49:50+00:00

__IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is an ugly macro, convert it to a static inline function, so make it more readable. IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is unused, just remove it. Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: Update hard_header_len based on lowerdev when instantiating VXLAN

2012-11-13T23:19:50+00:00

In the event of a VXLAN device being linked to a device that has a hard_header_len greater than that of standard ethernet we could end up with the hard_header_len not being large enough for outgoing frames. In order to prevent this we should update the length when a lowerdev is provided. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
