rtnetlink: add guard for RTNL

2024-04-03T08:59:38+00:00

The new guard/scoped_gard can be useful for the RTNL as well, so add a guard definition for it. It gets used like { guard(rtnl)(); // RTNL held until end of block } or scoped_guard(rtnl) { // RTNL held in this block } as with any other guard/scoped_guard.

net: add netdev_set_operstate() helper

2024-02-14T11:20:13+00:00

dev_base_lock is going away, add netdev_set_operstate() helper so that hsr does not have to know core internals. Remove dev_base_lock acquisition from rfc2863_policy() v3: use an "unsigned int" for dev->operstate, so that try_cmpxchg() can work on all arches.

net: make dev_unreg_count global

2024-02-04T16:08:21+00:00

We can use a global dev_unreg_count counter instead of a per netns one. As a bonus we can factorize the changes done on it for bulk device removals. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rtnl: introduce rcu_replace_pointer_rtnl

2023-12-18T02:05:45+00:00

Introduce the rcu_replace_pointer_rtnl helper to lockdep check rtnl lock rcu replacements, alongside the already existing helpers. This is a quality of life helper so instead of using: rcu_replace_pointer(rp, p, lockdep_rtnl_is_held()) .. or the open coded.. rtnl_dereference() / rcu_assign_pointer() .. or the lazy check version .. rcu_replace_pointer(rp, p, 1) Use: rcu_replace_pointer_rtnl(rp, p) Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: Victor Nogueira Signed-off-by: Pedro Tammela Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.

rtnl: add helper to send if skb is not null

2023-12-12T02:52:57+00:00

This is a convenience helper for routines handling conditional rtnl events, that is code that might send a notification depending on rtnl_has_listeners/rtnl_notify_needed. Instead of: if (skb) rtnetlink_send(...) Use: rtnetlink_maybe_send(...)

rtnl: add helper to check if rtnl group has listeners

2023-12-12T02:52:56+00:00

As of today, rtnl code creates a new skb and unconditionally fills and broadcasts it to the relevant group. For most operations this is okay and doesn't waste resources in general. When operations are done without the rtnl_lock, as in tc-flower, such skb allocation, message fill and no-op broadcasting can happen in all cores of the system, which contributes to system pressure and wastes precious cpu cycles when no one will receive the built message. Introduce this helper so rtnetlink operations can simply check if someone is listening and then proceed if necessary.

rtnetlink: Restore RTM_NEW/DELLINK notification behavior

2023-04-13T03:47:58+00:00

The commits referenced below allows userspace to use the NLM_F_ECHO flag for RTM_NEW/DELLINK operations to receive unicast notifications for the affected link. Prior to these changes, applications may have relied on multicast notifications to learn the same information without specifying the NLM_F_ECHO flag. For such applications, the mentioned commits changed the behavior for requests not using NLM_F_ECHO. Multicast notifications are still received, but now use the portid of the requester and the sequence number of the request instead of zero values used previously. For the application, this message may be unexpected and likely handled as a response to the NLM_F_ACKed request, especially if it uses the same socket to handle requests and notifications. To fix existing applications relying on the old notification behavior, set the portid and sequence number in the notification only if the request included the NLM_F_ECHO flag. This restores the old behavior for applications not using it, but allows unicasted notifications for others.
