um: Add a generic "fd" vector transport

2020-06-02T20:37:28+00:00

Learn to take a pre-opened file-descriptor for vector IO. Instead of teaching the driver to open a FD in multiple ways, it can rely on management layer to do it on its behalf. For example, this allows inheriting a preconfigured device fd or a simple socketpair() setup, without further arguments, privileges or system access by UML.

um: Remove some unnecessary NULL checks in vector_user.c

2020-03-29T21:56:47+00:00

kfree() already checks for null pointers, so additional checking is unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Alex Dewar Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Loadable BPF "Firmware" for vector drivers

2019-11-25T21:43:31+00:00

All vector drivers now allow a BPF program to be loaded and associated with the RX socket in the host kernel. 1. The program can be loaded as an extra kernel command line option to any of the vector drivers. 2. The program can also be loaded as "firmware", using the ethtool flash option. It is possible to turn this facility on or off using a command line option. A simplistic wrapper for generating the BPF firmware for the raw socket driver out of a tcpdump/libpcap filter expression can be found at: https://github.com/kot-begemot-uk/uml_vector_utilities/ Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Add SPDX headers for files in arch/um/drivers

Convert files to use SPDX header. All files are licensed under the GPLv2. Signed-off-by: Alex Dewar Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Error handling fixes in vector drivers

2019-09-15T19:37:09+00:00

With the addition of bess support which uses connection oriented SEQPACKET sockets the vector routines can now encounter a "remote end closed the connection" scenario. This adds handling code to detect it in the TX path and the legacy RX path. There is no way to detect it in the vector RX path because that can legitimately return 0 even if the remote end has not closed the connection. As a result the detection is delayed until the first TX event after the close. Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Added support for unix socket transports and bess transport

2019-09-15T19:37:09+00:00

This adds support for the UNIX domain socket transports in general and implements a Netsys::BESS compatible transport interface. For details on Netsys::BESS see https://github.com/NetSys/bess Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Add legacy tap support and rename existing vector to hybrid

2019-09-15T19:37:08+00:00

1. Adds legacy tap support 2. Renames tap+raw as hybrid Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: writev needs

2018-12-27T21:48:35+00:00

vector_user.c doesn't compile without this for me. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Include sys/uio.h to have writev()

2018-12-27T21:48:19+00:00

sys/uio.h gives us writev(), otherwise the build might fail on some systems. Fixes: 49da7e64f33e ("High Performance UML Vector Network Driver") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
