bonding: Add independent control state machine

2025-08-28T14:26:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 240fd405528bbf7fafa0559202ca7aa524c9cd96 ] Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the coupled control state machine. Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect. Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses. Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.

net: dsa: allow the DSA master to be seen and changed through rtnetlink

2022-09-20T08:32:35+00:00

Some DSA switches have multiple CPU ports, which can be used to improve CPU termination throughput, but DSA, through dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports(), sets up only the first one, leading to suboptimal use of hardware. The desire is to not change the default configuration but to permit the user to create a dynamic mapping between individual user ports and the CPU port that they are served by, configurable through rtnetlink. It is also intended to permit load balancing between CPU ports, and in that case, the foreseen model is for the DSA master to be a bonding interface whose lowers are the physical DSA masters. To that end, we create a struct rtnl_link_ops for DSA user ports with the "dsa" kind. We expose the IFLA_DSA_MASTER link attribute that contains the ifindex of the newly desired DSA master.

rtnetlink: advertise allmulti counter

xfrm: interface: support collect metadata mode

2022-08-29T08:41:28+00:00

This commit adds support for 'collect_md' mode on xfrm interfaces. Each net can have one collect_md device, created by providing the IFLA_XFRM_COLLECT_METADATA flag at creation. This device cannot be altered and has no if_id or link device attributes. On transmit to this device, the if_id is fetched from the attached dst metadata on the skb. If exists, the link property is also fetched from the metadata. The dst metadata type used is METADATA_XFRM which holds these properties. On the receive side, xfrmi_rcv_cb() populates a dst metadata for each packet received and attaches it to the skb. The if_id used in this case is fetched from the xfrm state, and the link is fetched from the incoming device. This information can later be used by upper layers such as tc, ebpf, and ip rules. Because the skb is scrubed in xfrmi_rcv_cb(), the attachment of the dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing. Similarly, xfrm_input() is adapted to avoid dropping metadata dsts by only dropping 'valid' (skb_valid_dst(skb) == true) dsts. Policy matching on packets arriving from collect_md xfrmi devices is done by using the xfrm state existing in the skb's sec_path. The xfrm_if_cb.decode_cb() interface implemented by xfrmi_decode_session() is changed to keep the details of the if_id extraction tucked away in xfrm_interface.c.

Bonding: add per-port priority for failover re-selection

2022-06-24T10:27:59+00:00

Add per port priority support for bonding active slave re-selection during failover. A higher number means higher priority in selection. The primary slave still has the highest priority. This option also follows the primary_reselect rules. This option could only be configured via netlink. Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Acked-by: Jonathan Toppins Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-core: rx_otherhost_dropped to core_stats

2022-04-08T03:32:49+00:00

Increment rx_otherhost_dropped counter when packet dropped due to mismatched dest MAC addr. An example when this drop can occur is when manually crafting raw packets that will be consumed by a user space application via a tap device. For testing purposes local traffic was generated using trafgen for the client and netcat to start a server Tested: Created 2 netns, sent 1 packet using trafgen from 1 to the other with "{eth(daddr=$INCORRECT_MAC...}", verified that iproute2 showed the counter was incremented. (Also had to modify iproute2 to show the stat, additional patch for that coming next.)

net: geneve: support IPv4/IPv6 as inner protocol

This patch adds support for encapsulating IPv4/IPv6 within GENEVE. In order to use this, a new IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT flag needs to be provided at device creation. This property cannot be changed for the time being. In case IP traffic is received on a non-tun device the drop count is increased.

gtp: Implement GTP echo response

2022-03-11T16:27:16+00:00

Adding GTP device through ip link creates the situation where there is no userspace daemon which would handle GTP messages (Echo Request for example). GTP-U instance which would not respond to echo requests would violate GTP specification. When GTP packet arrives with GTP_ECHO_REQ message type, GTP_ECHO_RSP is send to the sender. GTP_ECHO_RSP message should contain information element with GTPIE_RECOVERY tag and restart counter value. For GTPv1 restart counter is not used and should be equal to 0, for GTPv0 restart counter contains information provided from userspace(IFLA_GTP_RESTART_COUNT).
