2012-12-10net: Allow DCBnl to use other namespaces besides init_netJohn Fastabend1-5/+2
Allow DCB and net namespace to work together. This is useful if you have containers that are bound to 'phys' interfaces that want to also manage their DCB attributes. The net namespace is taken from sock_net(skb->sk) of the netlink skb. CC: "Eric W.

2012-11-19net: Push capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) into the rtnl methodsEric W. Biederman1-0/+3
- In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN). Allowing unprivileged users to make netlink calls to modify their local network namespace. - In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still protected. Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods that are safe for unprivilged users. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-09-10netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman1-9/+9
It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-04-26net: dcb: add CEE notify callsJohn Fastabend1-0/+2
This adds code to trigger CEE events when an APP change or setall command is made from user space. This simplifies user space code significantly by creating a single interface to listen on that works with both firmware and userland agents. And if we end up with multiple agents this keeps every thing in sync userland agents, firmware agents, and kernel notifier consumers. For an example agent that listens for these events see: https://github.com/jrfastab/cgdcbxd cgdcbxd is a daemon used to monitor DCB netlink events and manage the net_prio control group sub-system.

Although not specified in 8021Qaz spec, it could be useful to enable drivers whose HW supports setting a rate limit for an ETS TC. This patch adds this optional attribute to DCB netlink. To use it, drivers should implement and register the callbacks ieee_setmaxrate and ieee_getmaxrate.

2011-07-06dcbnl: Add CEE notificationShmulik Ravid1-190/+225
This patch add an unsolicited notification of the DCBX negotiated parameters for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol.

The notification routine is exported so it can be invoked by drivers supporting an embedded DCBX stack. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-06dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operationShmulik Ravid1-7/+152
The following couple of patches add dcbnl an unsolicited notification of the the DCB configuration for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. This is useful when the user-mode DCB client is not responsible for conducting and resolving the DCBX negotiation (either because the DCBX stack is embedded in the HW or the negotiation is handled by another agent in the host), but still needs to get the negotiated parameters. This functionality already exists for the IEEE flavor of the DCBX protocol and these patches add it to the older CEE flavor. The first patch extends the CEE attribute GET operation to include not only the peer information, but also all the pertinent local configuration (negotiated parameters). The second patch adds and export a CEE specific notification routine. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-06-22dcb: Add dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() for drivers to query APP settingsJohn Fastabend1-0/+26
With multiple APP entries per selector and protocol drivers or stacks may want to pick a specific value or stripe traffic across many priorities. Also if an APP entry in use is deleted the stack/driver may want to choose from the existing APP entries. To facilitate this and avoid having duplicate code to walk the APP ring provide a routine dcb_ieee_getapp_mask() to return a u8 bitmask of all priorities set for the specified selector and protocol. This routine and bitmask is a helper for DCB kernel users. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-22dcb: Add ieee_dcb_delapp() and dcb op to delete app entryJohn Fastabend1-2/+88

2011-06-22dcb: Add ieee_dcb_setapp() to be used for IEEE 802.1Qaz APP dataJohn Fastabend1-4/+51
This adds a setapp routine for IEEE802.1Qaz encoded APP data types. The IEEE 802.1Qaz spec encodes the priority bits differently and allows for multiple APP data entries of the same selector and protocol. Trying to force these to use the same set routines was becoming tedious. Furthermore, userspace could probably enforce the correct semantics, but expecting drivers to do this seems error prone in the firmware case. For these reasons add ieee_dcb_setapp() that understands the IEEE 802.1Qaz encoded form. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-22net: dcbnl, add multicast group for DCBJohn Fastabend1-83/+146
Now that dcbnl is being used in many cases by more than a single agent it is beneficial to be notified when some entity either driver or user space has changed the DCB attributes. Today applications either end up polling the interface or relying on a user space database to maintain the DCB state and post events. Polling is a poor solution for obvious reasons. And relying on a user space database has its own downside. Namely it has created strange boot dependencies requiring the database be populated before any applications dependent on DCB attributes starts or the application goes into a polling loop. Populating the database requires negotiating link setting with the peer and can take anywhere from less than a second up to a few seconds depending on the switch implementation. Perhaps more importantly if another application or an embedded agent sets a DCB link attribute the database has no way of knowing other than polling the kernel. This prevents applications from responding quickly to changes in link events which at least in the FCoE case and probably any other protocols expecting a lossless link may result in IO errors. By adding a multicast group for DCB we have clean way to disseminate kernel DCB link attributes up to user space. Avoiding the need for user space to maintain a coherant database and disperse events that potentially do not reflect the current link state.

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface.
