2022-11-04T03:48:37+00:00

Expose devlink port handle related to netdev over rtnetlink. Introduce a new nested IFLA attribute to carry the info. Call into devlink code to fill-up the nest with existing devlink attributes that are used over devlink netlink. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

bridge: Add MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support

2022-11-04T03:46:32+00:00

Hosts that support 802.1X authentication are able to authenticate themselves by exchanging EAPOL frames with an authenticator (Ethernet bridge, in this case) and an authentication server. Access to the network is only granted by the authenticator to successfully authenticated hosts. The above is implemented in the bridge using the "locked" bridge port option. When enabled, link-local frames (e.g., EAPOL) can be locally received by the bridge, but all other frames are dropped unless the host is authenticated. That is, unless the user space control plane installed an FDB entry according to which the source address of the frame is located behind the locked ingress port. The entry can be dynamic, in which case learning needs to be enabled so that the entry will be refreshed by incoming traffic. There are deployments in which not all the devices connected to the authenticator (the bridge) support 802.1X. Such devices can include printers and cameras. One option to support such deployments is to unlock the bridge ports connecting these devices, but a slightly more secure option is to use MAB. When MAB is enabled, the MAC address of the connected device is used as the user name and password for the authentication. For MAB to work, the user space control plane needs to be notified about MAC addresses that are trying to gain access so that they will be compared against an allow list. This can be implemented via the regular learning process with the sole difference that learned FDB entries are installed with a new "locked" flag indicating that the entry cannot be used to authenticate the device. The flag cannot be set by user space, but user space can clear the flag by replacing the entry, thereby authenticating the device. Locked FDB entries implement the following semantics with regards to roaming, aging and forwarding: 1. Roaming: Locked FDB entries can roam to unlocked (authorized) ports, in which case the "locked" flag is cleared. FDB entries cannot roam to locked ports regardless of MAB being enabled or not. Therefore, locked FDB entries are only created if an FDB entry with the given {MAC, VID} does not already exist. This behavior prevents unauthenticated devices from disrupting traffic destined to already authenticated devices. 2. Aging: Locked FDB entries age and refresh by incoming traffic like regular entries. 3. Forwarding: Locked FDB entries forward traffic like regular entries. If user space detects an unauthorized MAC behind a locked port and wishes to prevent traffic with this MAC DA from reaching the host, it can do so using tc or a different mechanism. Enable the above behavior using a new bridge port option called "mab". It can only be enabled on a bridge port that is both locked and has learning enabled. Locked FDB entries are flushed from the port once MAB is disabled. A new option is added because there are pure 802.1X deployments that are not interested in notifications about locked FDB entries.

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.

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.)

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.
