gtp: add initial driver for datapath of GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U)

2016-05-10T16:25:04+00:00

This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath (GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060 standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure. This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber sessions through a genetlink interface. For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2]. Only IPv4 is supported at this time.

bridge: netlink: export per-vlan stats

2016-05-03T02:27:06+00:00

Add a new LINK_XSTATS_TYPE_BRIDGE attribute and implement the RTM_GETSTATS callbacks for IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS (fill_linkxstats and get_linkxstats_size) in order to export the per-vlan stats. The paddings were added because soon these fields will be needed for per-port per-vlan stats (or something else if someone beats me to it) so avoiding at least a few more netlink attributes.

bridge: vlan: learn to count

2016-05-03T02:27:06+00:00

Add support for per-VLAN Tx/Rx statistics. Every global vlan context gets allocated a per-cpu stats which is then set in each per-port vlan context for quick access. The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink. A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off) but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

net: rtnetlink: add linkxstats callbacks and attribute

2016-05-03T02:27:06+00:00

Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute. Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks). Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

ppp: add rtnetlink device creation support

2016-04-29T20:09:44+00:00

Define PPP device handler for use with rtnetlink. The only PPP specific attribute is IFLA_PPP_DEV_FD. It is mandatory and contains the file descriptor of the associated /dev/ppp instance (the file descriptor which would have been used for ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT) in the ioctl-based API). The PPP device is removed when this file descriptor is released (same behaviour as with ioctl based PPP devices). PPP devices created with the rtnetlink API behave like the ones created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). In particular existing ioctls work the same way, no matter how the PPP device was created. The rtnl callbacks are also assigned to ioctl based PPP devices. This way, rtnl messages have the same effect on any PPP devices. The immediate effect is that all PPP devices, even ioctl-based ones, can now be removed with "ip link del". A minor difference still exists between ioctl and rtnl based PPP interfaces: in the device name, the number following the "ppp" prefix corresponds to the PPP unit number for ioctl based devices, while it is just an unrelated incrementing index for rtnl ones.

rtnetlink: add new RTM_GETSTATS message to dump link stats

2016-04-20T19:43:42+00:00

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
