net: bridge: add support for per-port vlan stats

2018-10-12T17:18:58+00:00

This patch adds an option to have per-port vlan stats instead of the default global stats. The option can be set only when there are no port vlans in the bridge since we need to allocate the stats if it is set when vlans are being added to ports (and respectively free them when being deleted). Also bump RTNL_MAX_TYPE as the bridge is the largest user of options. The current stats design allows us to add these without any changes to the fast-path, it all comes down to the per-vlan stats pointer which, if this option is enabled, will be allocated for each port vlan instead of using the global bridge-wide one.

geneve: add ttl inherit support

2018-09-13T03:38:22+00:00

Similar with commit 72f6d71e491e6 ("vxlan: add ttl inherit support"), currently ttl == 0 means "use whatever default value" on geneve instead of inherit inner ttl. To respect compatibility with old behavior, let's add a new IFLA_GENEVE_TTL_INHERIT for geneve ttl inherit support.

if_link: add IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID alias

2018-09-06T05:27:11+00:00

This adds IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID as an alias for IFLA_IF_NETNSID for RTM_*LINK requests. The new name is clearer and also aligns with the newly introduced IFA_TARGET_NETNSID propert for RTM_*ADDR requests.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2018-07-27 1) Extend the output_mark to also support the input direction and masking the mark values before applying to the skb. 2) Add a new lookup key for the upcomming xfrm interfaces. 3) Extend the xfrm lookups to match xfrm interface IDs. 4) Add virtual xfrm interfaces. The purpose of these interfaces is to overcome the design limitations that the existing VTI devices have. The main limitations that we see with the current VTI are the following: VTI interfaces are L3 tunnels with configurable endpoints. For xfrm, the tunnel endpoint are already determined by the SA. So the VTI tunnel endpoints must be either the same as on the SA or wildcards. In case VTI tunnel endpoints are same as on the SA, we get a one to one correlation between the SA and the tunnel. So each SA needs its own tunnel interface. On the other hand, we can have only one VTI tunnel with wildcard src/dst tunnel endpoints in the system because the lookup is based on the tunnel endpoints. The existing tunnel lookup won't work with multiple tunnels with wildcard tunnel endpoints. Some usecases require more than on VTI tunnel of this type, for example if somebody has multiple namespaces and every namespace requires such a VTI. VTI needs separate interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. So when routing to a VTI, we have to know to which address family this traffic class is going to be encapsulated. This is a lmitation because it makes routing more complex and it is not always possible to know what happens behind the VTI, e.g. when the VTI is move to some namespace. VTI works just with tunnel mode SAs. We need generic interfaces that ensures transfomation, regardless of the xfrm mode and the encapsulated address family. VTI is configured with a combination GRE keys and xfrm marks. With this we have to deal with some extra cases in the generic tunnel lookup because the GRE keys on the VTI are actually not GRE keys, the GRE keys were just reused for something else. All extensions to the VTI interfaces would require to add even more complexity to the generic tunnel lookup. So to overcome this, we developed xfrm interfaces with the following design goal: It should be possible to tunnel IPv4 and IPv6 through the same interface. No limitation on xfrm mode (tunnel, transport and beet). Should be a generic virtual interface that ensures IPsec transformation, no need to know what happens behind the interface. Interfaces should be configured with a new key that must match a new policy/SA lookup key. The lookup logic should stay in the xfrm codebase, no need to change or extend generic routing and tunnel lookups. Should be possible to use IPsec hardware offloads of the underlying interface. 5) Remove xfrm pcpu policy cache. This was added after the flowcache removal, but it turned out to make things even worse. From Florian Westphal. 6) Allow to update the set mark on SA updates. From Nathan Harold. 7) Convert some timestamps to time64_t. From Arnd Bergmann. 8) Don't check the offload_handle in xfrm code, it is an opaque data cookie for the driver. From Shannon Nelson. 9) Remove xfrmi interface ID from flowi. After this pach no generic code is touched anymore to do xfrm interface lookups. From Benedict Wong. 10) Allow to update the xfrm interface ID on SA updates. From Nathan Harold. 11) Don't pass zero to ERR_PTR() in xfrm_resolve_and_create_bundle. From YueHaibing. 12) Return more detailed errors on xfrm interface creation. From Benedict Wong. 13) Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO instead of IS_ERR + PTR_ERR.

net: bridge: add support for backup port

2018-07-23T16:32:15+00:00

This patch adds a new port attribute - IFLA_BRPORT_BACKUP_PORT, which allows to set a backup port to be used for known unicast traffic if the port has gone carrier down. The backup pointer is rcu protected and set only under RTNL, a counter is maintained so when deleting a port we know how many other ports reference it as a backup and we remove it from all. Also the pointer is in the first cache line which is hot at the time of the check and thus in the common case we only add one more test. The backup port will be used only for the non-flooding case since it's a part of the bridge and the flooded packets will be forwarded to it anyway. To remove the forwarding just send a 0/non-existing backup port. This is used to avoid numerous scalability problems when using MLAG most notably if we have thousands of fdbs one would need to change all of them on port carrier going down which takes too long and causes a storm of fdb notifications (and again when the port comes back up). In a Multi-chassis Link Aggregation setup usually hosts are connected to two different switches which act as a single logical switch. Those switches usually have a control and backup link between them called peerlink which might be used for communication in case a host loses connectivity to one of them. We need a fast way to failover in case a host port goes down and currently none of the solutions (like bond) cannot fulfill the requirements because the participating ports are actually the "master" devices and must have the same peerlink as their backup interface and at the same time all of them must participate in the bridge device. As Roopa noted it's normal practice in routing called fast re-route where a precalculated backup path is used when the main one is down. Another use case of this is with EVPN, having a single vxlan device which is backup of every port. Due to the nature of master devices it's not currently possible to use one device as a backup for many and still have all of them participate in the bridge (which is master itself). More detailed information about MLAG is available at the link below. https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/DOCS/Multi-Chassis+Link+Aggregation+-+MLAG Further explanation and a diagram by Roopa: Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink interface which is a bridge port. the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other switch also has a similar config. eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is connected to both switches. br0 -- team0---eth0 | -- switch-peerlink Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xdp: support simultaneous driver and hw XDP attachment

2018-07-13T18:26:35+00:00

Split the query of HW-attached program from the software one. Introduce new .ndo_bpf command to query HW-attached program. This will allow drivers to install different programs in HW and SW at the same time. Netlink can now also carry multiple programs on dump (in which case mode will be set to XDP_ATTACHED_MULTI and user has to check per-attachment point attributes, IFLA_XDP_PROG_ID will not be present). We reuse IFLA_XDP_PROG_ID skb space for second mode, so rtnl_xdp_size() doesn't need to be updated. Note that the installation side is still not there, since all drivers currently reject installing more than one program at the time.

xfrm: Add virtual xfrm interfaces

2018-06-23T14:07:25+00:00

This patch adds support for virtual xfrm interfaces. Packets that are routed through such an interface are guaranteed to be IPsec transformed or dropped. It is a generic virtual interface that ensures IPsec transformation, no need to know what happens behind the interface. This means that we can tunnel IPv4 and IPv6 through the same interface and support all xfrm modes (tunnel, transport and beet) on it.

net: bridge: add support for port isolation

2018-05-25T18:37:20+00:00

This patch adds support for a new port flag - BR_ISOLATED. If it is set then isolated ports cannot communicate between each other, but they can still communicate with non-isolated ports. The same can be achieved via ACLs but they can't scale with large number of ports and also the complexity of the rules grows. This feature can be used to achieve isolated vlan functionality (similar to pvlan) as well, though currently it will be port-wide (for all vlans on the port). The new test in should_deliver uses data that is already cache hot and the new boolean is used to avoid an additional source port test in should_deliver.
