2017-01-20tipc: add function for checking broadcast support in bearerJon Paul Maloy4-9/+34
As a preparation for the 'replicast' functionality we are going to introduce in the next commits, we need the broadcast base structure to store whether bearer broadcast is available at all from the currently used bearer or bearers. We do this by adding a new function tipc_bearer_bcast_support() to the bearer layer, and letting the bearer selection function in bcast.c use this to give a new boolean field, 'bcast_support' the appropriate value.

2017-01-20bpf: add bpf_probe_read_str helperGianluca Borello2-1/+46
Provide a simple helper with the same semantics of strncpy_from_unsafe(): int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_addr) This gives more flexibility to a bpf program. A typical use case is intercepting a file name during sys_open(). The current approach is: SEC("kprobe/sys_open") void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx) { char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256 bpf_probe_read(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di); /* consume buf */ } This is suboptimal because the size of the string needs to be estimated at compile time, causing more memory to be copied than often necessary, and can become more problematic if further processing on buf is done, for example by pushing it to userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(), since the real length of the string is unknown and the entire buffer must be copied (and defining an unrolled strnlen() inside the bpf program is a very inefficient and unfeasible approach). With the new helper, the code can easily operate on the actual string length rather than the buffer size: SEC("kprobe/sys_open") void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx) { char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256 int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di); /* consume buf, for example push it to userspace via * bpf_perf_event_output(), but this time we can use * res (the string length) as event size, after checking * its boundaries. */ } Another useful use case is when parsing individual process arguments or individual environment variables navigating current->mm->arg_start and current->mm->env_start: using this helper and the return value, one can quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area. The code changes simply leverage the already existent strncpy_from_unsafe() kernel function, which is safe to be called from a bpf program as it is used in bpf_trace_printk().

2017-01-20Merge branch 'bus-agnostic-num-vf'David S. Miller4-4/+18
Phil Sutter says: ==================== Retrieve number of VFs in a bus-agnostic way Previously, it was assumed that only PCI NICs would be capable of having virtual functions - with my proposed enhancement of dummy NIC driver implementing (fake) ones for testing purposes, this is no longer true. Discussion of said patch has led to the suggestion of implementing a bus-agnostic method for VF count retrieval so rtnetlink could work with both real VF-capable PCI NICs as well as my dummy modifications without introducing ugly hacks. The following series tries to achieve just that by introducing a bus type callback to retrieve a device's number of VFs, implementing this callback for PCI bus and finally adjusting rtnetlink to make use of the generalized infrastructure. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-20net: ipv6: Keep nexthop of multipath route on admin downDavid Ahern1-2/+5

For example: $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 1.1.1.0/24 metric 64 nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop via 10.100.2.254 dev eth2 weight 1 10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.4 10.100.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.2.4 $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:2:: dev red proto none metric 0 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:1::16 dev eth1 metric 1024 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:2::17 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ... Set link down: $ ip li set eth1 down IPv4 retains the multihop route but flags eth1 route as dead: $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 1.1.1.0/24 nexthop via 10.100.1.16 dev eth1 weight 1 dead linkdown nexthop via 10.100.2.16 dev eth2 weight 1 10.100.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.2.4 and IPv6 deletes the route as part of flushing all routes for the device: $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:2:: dev red proto none metric 0 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:2::17 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ...

2017-01-19net: Remove usage of net_device last_rx memberTobias Klauser24-46/+22
The network stack no longer uses the last_rx member of struct net_device since the bonding driver switched to use its own private last_rx in commit 9f242738376d ("bonding: use last_arp_rx in slave_last_rx()"). However, some drivers still (ab)use the field for their own purposes and some driver just update it without actually using it. Previously, there was an accompanying comment for the last_rx member added in commit 4dc89133f49b ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx") which asked drivers not to update is, unless really needed. However, this commend was removed in commit f8ff080dacec ("bonding: remove useless updating of slave->dev->last_rx"), so some drivers added later on still did update last_rx. Remove all usage of last_rx and switch three drivers (sky2, atp and smc91c92_cs) which actually read and write it to use their own private copy in netdev_priv.

So this patch tries to do some batching during rx before submitting them to host network stack.

The prefix arg to rt6_fill_node is non-0 in only 1 path - rt6_dump_route where a user is requesting a prefix only dump. Simplify rt6_fill_node by removing the prefix arg and moving the prefix check to rt6_dump_route. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

All callers of rt6_fill_node pass 0 for nowait arg. Remove the arg and simplify rt6_fill_node accordingly. rt6_fill_node passes the nowait of 0 to ip6mr_get_route. Remove the nowait arg from it as well. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: add sender-side procedures for stream reconf ssn reset request chunk Patch 6/6 is to implement sender-side procedures for the Outgoing and Incoming SSN Reset Request Parameter described in rfc6525 section 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 Patches 1-5/6 are ahead of it to define some apis and asoc members for it. Note that with this patchset, asoc->reconf_enable has no chance yet to be set, until the patch "sctp: add get and set sockopt for reconf_enable" is applied in the future. As we can not just enable it when sctp is not capable of processing reconf chunk yet. v1->v2: - put these into a smaller group. - rename some temporary variables in the codes. - rename the titles of the commits and improve some changelogs. v2->v3: - re-split the patchset and make sure it has no dead codes for review. v3->v4: - move sctp_make_reconf() into patch 1/6 to avoid kbuild warning. - drop unused struct sctp_strreset_req. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-18sctp: implement sender-side procedures for SSN Reset Request ParameterXin Long6-10/+149
This patch is to implement sender-side procedures for the Outgoing and Incoming SSN Reset Request Parameter described in rfc6525 section 5.1.2 and 5.1.3. It is also add sockopt SCTP_RESET_STREAMS in rfc6525 section 6.3.2 for users. Note that the new asoc member strreset_outstanding is to make sure only one reconf request chunk on the fly as rfc6525 section 5.1.1 demands.

2017-01-18sctp: add sockopt SCTP_ENABLE_STREAM_RESETXin Long4-0/+96
This patch is to add sockopt SCTP_ENABLE_STREAM_RESET to get/set strreset_enable to indicate which reconf request type it supports, which is described in rfc6525 section 6.3.1. Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-18sctp: add reconf_enable in asoc ep and netnsXin Long6-2/+28
This patch is to add reconf_enable field in all of asoc ep and netns to indicate if they support stream reset. When initializing, asoc reconf_enable get the default value from ep reconf_enable which is from netns netns reconf_enable by default. It is also to add reconf_capable in asoc peer part to know if peer supports reconf_enable, the value is set if ext params have reconf chunk support when processing init chunk, just as rfc6525 section 5.1.1 demands.

2017-01-18sctp: add stream reconf primitiveXin Long6-1/+41
This patch is to add a primitive based on sctp primitive frame for sending stream reconf request. It works as the other primitives, and create a SCTP_CMD_REPLY command to send the request chunk out. sctp_primitive_RECONF would be the api to send a reconf request chunk.

2017-01-18sctp: add stream reconf timerXin Long8-2/+113
This patch is to add a per transport timer based on sctp timer frame for stream reconf chunk retransmission. It would start after sending a reconf request chunk, and stop after receiving the response chunk. If the timer expires, besides retransmitting the reconf request chunk, it would also do the same thing with data RTO timer. like to increase the appropriate error counts, and perform threshold management, possibly destroying the asoc if sctp retransmission thresholds are exceeded, just as section 5.1.1 describes. This patch is also to add asoc strreset_chunk, it is used to save the reconf request chunk, so that it can be retransmitted, and to check if the response is really for this request by comparing the information inside with the response chunk as well.
