net: ipv6: Add a flags argument to ip6tunnel_xmit(), udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb()

2025-06-18T01:18:45+00:00

ip6tunnel_xmit() erases the contents of the SKB control block. In order to be able to set particular IP6CB flags on the SKB, add a corresponding parameter, and propagate it to udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() as well. In one of the following patches, VXLAN driver will use this facility to mark packets as subject to IPv6 multicast routing.

bareudp: Convert bareudp_exit_batch_rtnl() to ->exit_rtnl().

2025-04-15T00:08:44+00:00

bareudp_exit_batch_rtnl() iterates the dying netns list and performs the same operation for each. Let's use ->exit_rtnl(). While at it, we replace unregister_netdevice_queue() with bareudp_dellink() for better cleanup. It unlinks the device from net_generic(net, bareudp_net_id)->bareudp_list, but there is no real issue as both the dev and the list are freed later.

net: Use link/peer netns in newlink() of rtnl_link_ops

2025-02-21T23:28:02+00:00

Add two helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and rtnl_newlink_peer_net() for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns. Convert the use of params->net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper functions for clarity.

rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct

2025-02-21T23:28:02+00:00

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links: - source netns - where the netlink socket resides, - target netns - where to put the device being created, - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend), - peer netns - netns of peer device. Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net" parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request. +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | source | target | | absent +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | link | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | peer | target | | present +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | peer | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects, including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events. These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from the beginning. On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use dev_net instead. To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

bareudp: Handle stats using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS.

2024-12-07T01:56:53+00:00

Bareudp uses the TSTATS infrastructure (dev_sw_netstats_*()) for RX packet counters. It was also recently converted to use the device core stats (dev_core_stats_*()) for RX and TX drops (see commit 788d5d655bc9 ("bareudp: Use pcpu stats to update rx_dropped counter.")). Since core stats are to be avoided in drivers, and for consistency with VXLAN and Geneve, let's convert packet stats handling to DSTATS, which can handle RX/TX stats and packet drops. Statistics that don't fit DSTATS are still updated atomically with DEV_STATS_INC().

bareudp: Pull inner IP header on xmit.

2024-09-13T03:30:15+00:00

Both bareudp_xmit_skb() and bareudp6_xmit_skb() read their skb's inner IP header to get its ECN value (with ip_tunnel_ecn_encap()). Therefore we need to ensure that the inner IP header is part of the skb's linear data.
