virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available

2018-05-29T02:59:54+00:00

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest. It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'primary' netdev. The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath. This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread. https://marc.info/?l=linux-virtualization&m=151189725224231&w=2 Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Introduce net_failover driver

2018-05-29T02:59:54+00:00

The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

geneve: fix build with modular IPV6

2018-04-27T17:52:09+00:00

Commit c40e89fd358e ("geneve: configure MTU based on a lower device") added an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) to geneve, leading to the following link error with CONFIG_GENEVE=y and CONFIG_IPV6=m: drivers/net/geneve.o: In function `geneve_link_config': geneve.c:(.text+0x14c): undefined reference to `rt6_lookup' Fix this by adding a Kconfig dependency and forcing GENEVE to be a module when IPV6 is a module.

netdevsim: Add simple FIB resource controller via devlink

2018-03-29T18:10:31+00:00

Add devlink support to netdevsim and use it to implement a simple, profile based resource controller. Only one controller is needed per namespace, so the first netdevsim netdevice in a namespace registers with devlink. If that device is deleted, the resource settings are deleted. The resource controller allows a user to limit the number of IPv4 and IPv6 FIB entries and FIB rules. The resource paths are: /IPv4 /IPv4/fib /IPv4/fib-rules /IPv6 /IPv6/fib /IPv6/fib-rules The IPv4 and IPv6 top level resources are unlimited in size and can not be changed. From there, the number of FIB entries and FIB rule entries are unlimited by default. A user can specify a limit for the fib and fib-rules resources: $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib size 96 $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib-rules size 16 $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib size 64 $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib-rules size 16 $ devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim0 such that the number of rules or routes is limited (96 ipv4 routes in the example above): $ for n in $(seq 1 32); do ip ro add 10.99.$n.0/24 dev eth1; done Error: netdevsim: Exceeded number of supported fib entries. $ devlink resource show netdevsim/netdevsim0 netdevsim/netdevsim0: name IPv4 size unlimited unit entry size_min 0 size_max unlimited size_gran 1 dpipe_tables non resources: name fib size 96 occ 96 unit entry size_min 0 size_max unlimited size_gran 1 dpipe_tables ... With this template in place for resource management, it is fairly trivial to extend and shows one way to implement a simple counter based resource controller typical of network profiles. Currently, devlink only supports initial namespace. Code is in place to adapt netdevsim to a per namespace controller once the network namespace issues are resolved.

ipvlan: fix building with modular IPV6

2018-02-27T15:37:14+00:00

We no longer depend on IPV6, but that now causes a link error with CONFIG_IPV6=m and CONFIG_IPVLAN=y: drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.o: In function `ipvlan_queue_xmit': ipvlan_core.c:(.text+0x1440): undefined reference to `ip6_route_output_flags' drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.o: In function `ipvlan_l3_rcv': ipvlan_core.c:(.text+0x1818): undefined reference to `ip6_route_input_lookup' This adds back the dependency on IPV6, with the option of building without IPV6, but forcing IPVLAN to be a module when IPV6 is a module.

ipvlan: selects master_l3 device instead of depending on it

The L3 Master device is just a glue between the core networking code and device drivers, so it should be selected automatically rather than requiring to be enabled explicitly. Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdevsim: add software driver for testing offloads

2017-12-02T23:27:57+00:00

To be able to run selftests without any hardware required we need a software model. The model can also serve as an example implementation for those implementing actual HW offloads. The dummy driver have previously been extended to test SR-IOV, but the general consensus seems to be against adding further features to it. Add a new driver for purposes of software modelling only. eBPF and SR-IOV will be added here shortly, others are invited to further extend the driver with their offload models.

net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable

2017-10-02T18:24:42+00:00

ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

x86/lguest: Remove lguest support

2017-08-24T07:57:28+00:00

Lguest seems to be rather unused these days. It has seen only patches ensuring it still builds the last two years and its official state is "Odd Fixes". Remove it in order to be able to clean up the paravirt code.
