bonding: Add independent control state machine

2024-02-06T12:17:54+00:00

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.

tools: Sync if_link uapi header

2023-10-24T23:06:43+00:00

Sync if_link uapi header to the latest version as we need the refresher in tooling for netkit device. Given it's been a while since the last sync and the diff is fairly big, it has been done as its own commit.

macvlan: Add netlink attribute for broadcast cutoff

2023-03-29T08:03:32+00:00

Make the broadcast cutoff configurable through netlink. Note that macvlan is weird because there is no central device for us to configure (the lowerdev could be anything). So all the options are duplicated over what could be thousands of child devices. IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN took the approach of taking the maximum of all child device settings. This is unnecessary as we could simply store the option in the port device and take the last child device that gets updated as the value to use. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.

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

New netlink attributes IFLA_TSO_MAX_SIZE and IFLA_TSO_MAX_SEGS are used to report to user-space the device TSO limits. ip -d link sh dev eth1 ... tso_max_size 65536 tso_max_segs 65535 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bonding: add new option ns_ip6_target

2022-02-21T12:13:45+00:00

This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS request to determine the health of the link. For other related options like the validation, we still use arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later.

gro: add ability to control gro max packet size

2022-01-06T12:27:05+00:00

Eric Dumazet suggested to allow users to modify max GRO packet size. We have seen GRO being disabled by users of appliances (such as wifi access points) because of claimed bufferbloat issues, or some work arounds in sch_cake, to split GRO/GSO packets. Instead of disabling GRO completely, one can chose to limit the maximum packet size of GRO packets, depending on their latency constraints. This patch adds a per device gro_max_size attribute that can be changed with ip link command. ip link set dev eth0 gro_max_size 16000 Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Coco Li Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

Bonding: add arp_missed_max option

2021-11-30T12:15:58+00:00

Currently, we use hard code number to verify if we are in the arp_interval timeslice. But some user may want to reduce/extend the verify timeslice. With the similar team option 'missed_max' the uers could change that number based on their own environment. Acked-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
