netlink: typographical error in nlmsg_type constants definition

2024-12-05T13:01:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 84bfbfbbd32aee136afea4b6bf82581dce79c305 ] This commit fix a typographical error in netlink nlmsg_type constants definition in the include/uapi/linux/rtnetlink.h at line 177. The definition is RTM_NEWNVLAN RTM_NEWVLAN instead of RTM_NEWVLAN RTM_NEWVLAN.

ipv6: drop feature RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG

2023-10-26T01:04:29+00:00

RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG was added before the first git commit: https://www.mail-archive.com/bk-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg03399.html The feature would send packets to the fragmentation path if a box receives a PMTU value with less than 1280 byte. However, since commit 9d289715eb5c ("ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280"), such message would be simply discarded. The feature flag is neither supported in iproute2 utility. In theory one can still manipulate it with direct netlink message, but it is not ideal because it was based on obsoleted guidance of RFC-2460 (replaced by RFC-8200). The feature would always test false at the moment, so remove related code or mark them as unused.

tcp: add RTAX_FEATURE_TCP_USEC_TS

This new dst feature flag will be used to allow TCP to use usec based timestamps instead of msec ones. ip route .... feature tcp_usec_ts Also document that RTAX_FEATURE_SACK and RTAX_FEATURE_TIMESTAMP are unused. RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is also going away soon. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/sched: act_api: add specific EXT_WARN_MSG for tc action

2023-03-17T04:25:45+00:00

In my previous commit 0349b8779cc9 ("sched: add new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report tc extact message") I didn't notice the tc action use different enum with filter. So we can't use TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG directly for tc action. Let's add a TCA_ROOT_EXT_WARN_MSG for tc action specifically and put this param before going to the TCA_ACT_TAB nest.

sched: add new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report tc extact message

2023-01-17T08:38:33+00:00

We will report extack message if there is an error via netlink_ack(). But if the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the hardware, extack is not passed along and offloading failures don't get logged. In commit 81c7288b170a ("sched: cls: enable verbose logging") Marcelo made cls could log verbose info for offloading failures, which helps improving Open vSwitch debuggability when using flower offloading. It would also be helpful if userspace monitor tools, like "tc monitor", could log this kind of message, as it doesn't require vswitchd log level adjusment. Let's add a new tc attributes to report the extack message so the monitor program could receive the failures. e.g. # tc monitor added chain dev enp3s0f1np1 parent ffff: chain 0 added filter dev enp3s0f1np1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 flower chain 0 handle 0x1 ct_state +trk+new not_in_hw action order 1: gact action drop random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 Warning: mlx5_core: matching on ct_state +new isn't supported. In this patch I only report the extack message on add/del operations. It doesn't look like we need to report the extack message on get/dump operations. Note this message not only reporte to multicast groups, it could also be reported unicast, which may affect the current usersapce tool's behaivor.

treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

2022-06-28T19:26:05+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle: (linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch) @@ identifier S, member, array; type T1, T2; @@ struct S { ... T1 member; T2 array[ - 0 ]; }; -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes to prevent issues like these in the short future: ../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0, but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source] strcpy(de3->name, "."); ^ Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

net: bridge: mst: Support setting and reporting MST port states

2022-03-17T23:49:57+00:00

Make it possible to change the port state in a given MSTI by extending the bridge port netlink interface (RTM_SETLINK on PF_BRIDGE).The proposed iproute2 interface would be: bridge mst set dev msti state Current states in all applicable MSTIs can also be dumped via a corresponding RTM_GETLINK. The proposed iproute interface looks like this: $ bridge mst port msti vb1 0 state forwarding 100 state disabled vb2 0 state forwarding 100 state forwarding The preexisting per-VLAN states are still valid in the MST mode (although they are read-only), and can be queried as usual if one is interested in knowing a particular VLAN's state without having to care about the VID to MSTI mapping (in this example VLAN 20 and 30 are bound to MSTI 100): $ bridge -d vlan port vlan-id vb1 10 state forwarding mcast_router 1 20 state disabled mcast_router 1 30 state disabled mcast_router 1 40 state forwarding mcast_router 1 vb2 10 state forwarding mcast_router 1 20 state forwarding mcast_router 1 30 state forwarding mcast_router 1 40 state forwarding mcast_router 1 Signed-off-by: Tobias Waldekranz Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: rtnetlink: Add UAPI toggle for IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS

2022-03-03T10:37:23+00:00

The offloaded HW stats are designed to allow per-netdevice enablement and disablement. Add an attribute, IFLA_STATS_SET_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS, which should be carried by the RTM_SETSTATS message, and expresses a desire to toggle L3 offload xstats on or off. As part of the above, add an exported function rtnl_offload_xstats_notify() that drivers can use when they have installed or deinstalled the counters backing the HW stats. At this point, it is possible to enable, disable and query L3 offload xstats on netdevices. (However there is no driver actually implementing these.)

rtnetlink: add new rtm tunnel api for tunnel id filtering

2022-03-01T08:38:02+00:00

This patch adds new rtm tunnel msg and api for tunnel id filtering in dst_metadata devices. First dst_metadata device to use the api is vxlan driver with AF_BRIDGE family. This and later changes add ability in vxlan driver to do tunnel id filtering (or vni filtering) on dst_metadata devices. This is similar to vlan api in the vlan filtering bridge. this patch includes selinux nlmsg_route_perms support for RTM_*TUNNEL api from Benjamin Poirier.
