ipv6: add IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to expose mtu value

2021-08-28T00:29:18+00:00

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu" file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations: (1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net//mtu) is updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu) will be updated to the value of interface mtu; (2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu) only affect ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4. Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message, there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6. After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option, you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK, and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll. In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

net: bridge: mcast: dump ipv4 querier state

2021-08-14T13:02:43+00:00

Add support for dumping global IPv4 querier state, we dump the state only if our own querier is enabled or there has been another external querier which has won the election. For the bridge global state we use a new attribute IFLA_BR_MCAST_QUERIER_STATE and embed the state inside. The structure is: [IFLA_BR_MCAST_QUERIER_STATE] `[BRIDGE_QUERIER_IP_ADDRESS] - ip address of the querier `[BRIDGE_QUERIER_IP_PORT] - bridge port ifindex where the querier was seen (set only if external querier) `[BRIDGE_QUERIER_IP_OTHER_TIMER] - other querier timeout Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.

bonding: add new option lacp_active

2021-08-03T10:50:22+00:00

Add an option lacp_active, which is similar with team's runner.active. This option specifies whether to send LACPDU frames periodically. If set on, the LACPDU frames are sent along with the configured lacp_rate setting. If set off, the LACPDU frames acts as "speak when spoken to". Note, the LACPDU state frames still will be sent when init or unbind port. v2: remove module parameter Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mctp: Add device handling and netlink interface

2021-07-29T14:06:50+00:00

This change adds the infrastructure for managing MCTP netdevices; we add a pointer to the AF_MCTP-specific data to struct netdevice, and hook up the rtnetlink operations for adding and removing addresses. Includes changes from Matt Johnston . Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: add IFLA_PARENT_[DEV|DEV_BUS]_NAME

2021-06-12T20:16:45+00:00

In some cases, for example in the upcoming WWAN framework changes, there's no natural "parent netdev", so sometimes dummy netdevs are created or similar. IFLA_PARENT_DEV_NAME is a new attribute intended to contain a device (sysfs, struct device) name that can be used instead when creating a new netdev, if the rtnetlink family implements it. As suggested by Parav Pandit, we also introduce IFLA_PARENT_DEV_BUS_NAME attribute in order to uniquely identify a device on the system (with bus/name pair). ip-link(8) support for the generic parent device attributes will help us avoid code duplication, so no other link type will require a custom code to handle the parent name attribute. E.g. the WWAN interface creation command will looks like this: $ ip link add wwan0-1 parent-dev wwan0 type wwan channel-id 1 So, some future subsystem (or driver) FOO will have an interface creation command that looks like this: $ ip link add foo1-3 parent-dev foo1 type foo bar-id 3 baz-type Y Below is an example of dumping link info of a random device with these new attributes: $ ip --details link show wlp0s20f3 4: wlp0s20f3: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000 ... parent_bus pci parent_dev 0000:00:14.3 Co-developed-by: Sergey Ryazanov Signed-off-by: Sergey Ryazanov Co-developed-by: Loic Poulain Signed-off-by: Loic Poulain Suggested-by: Sergey Ryazanov Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ethernet: rmnet: Add support for MAPv5 egress packets

2021-06-02T00:11:41+00:00

Adding support for MAPv5 egress packets. This involves adding the MAPv5 header and setting the csum_valid_required in the checksum header to request HW compute the checksum. Corresponding stats are incremented based on whether the checksum is computed in software or HW. New stat has been added which represents the count of packets whose checksum is calculated by the HW.

net: ethernet: rmnet: Support for ingress MAPv5 checksum offload

2021-06-02T00:11:41+00:00

Adding support for processing of MAPv5 downlink packets. It involves parsing the Mapv5 packet and checking the csum header to know whether the hardware has validated the checksum and is valid or not. Based on the checksum valid bit the corresponding stats are incremented and skb->ip_summed is marked either CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY or left as CHEKSUM_NONE to let network stack revalidate the checksum and update the respective snmp stats. Current MAPV1 header has been modified, the reserved field in the Mapv1 header is now used for next header indication. Signed-off-by: Sharath Chandra Vurukala Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: Add nodst option to macvlan type source

2021-04-26T01:35:01+00:00

The default behavior for source MACVLAN is to duplicate packets to appropriate type source devices, and then do the normal destination MACVLAN flow. This patch adds an option to skip destination MACVLAN processing if any matching source MACVLAN device has the option set. This allows setting up a "catch all" device for source MACVLAN: create one or more devices with type source nodst, and one device with e.g. type vepa, and incoming traffic will be received on exactly one device. v2: netdev wants non-standard line length Signed-off-by: Jethro Beekman Signed-off-by: David S.

Revert "GTP: add support for flow based tunneling API"

2021-02-04T17:29:57+00:00

This reverts commit 9ab7e76aefc97a9aa664accb59d6e8dc5e52514a. This patch was committed without maintainer approval and despite a number of unaddressed concerns from review. There are several issues that impede the acceptance of this patch and that make a reversion of this particular instance of these changes the best way forward: i) the patch contains several logically separate changes that would be better served as smaller patches (for review purposes) ii) functionality like the handling of end markers has been introduced without further explanation iii) symmetry between the handling of GTPv0 and GTPv1 has been unnecessarily broken iv) the patchset produces 'broken' packets when extension headers are included v) there are no available userspace tools to allow for testing this functionality vi) there is an unaddressed Coverity report against the patch concering memory leakage vii) most importantly, the patch contains a large amount of superfluous churn that impedes other ongoing work with this driver This patch will be reworked into a series that aligns with other ongoing work and facilitates review.

net: bridge: multicast: make tracked EHT hosts limit configurable

2021-01-28T01:40:35+00:00

Add two new port attributes which make EHT hosts limit configurable and export the current number of tracked EHT hosts: - IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_LIMIT: configure/retrieve current limit - IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_CNT: current number of tracked hosts Setting IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_EHT_HOSTS_LIMIT to 0 is currently not allowed. Note that we have to increase RTNL_SLAVE_MAX_TYPE to 38 minimum, I've increased it to 40 to have space for two more future entries. v2: move br_multicast_eht_set_hosts_limit() to br_multicast_eht.c, no functional change Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
