2017-05-27rtnl: Add support for netdev event to link messagesVlad Yasevich1-1/+2
When netdev events happen, a rtnetlink_event() handler will send messages for every event in it's white list. These messages contain current information about a particular device, but they do not include the iformation about which event just happened. So, it is impossible to tell what just happend for these events. This patch adds a new extension to RTM_NEWLINK message called IFLA_EVENT that would have an encoding of event that triggered this message. This would allow the the message consumer to easily determine if it needs to perform certain actions.

2016-09-01rtnetlink: fdb dump: optimize by saving last interface markersRoopa Prabhu1-1/+1
fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs. To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps. In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also re-implements fix done by commit 472681d57a5d ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump") (with an internal fix from Wilson Kok) in the following ways: - change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead of the last fdb index - use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes. This is consistent with other dump functions. Below results were taken on a system with 1000 netdevs and 35085 fdb entries: before patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 15065 real 1m11.791s user 0m0.070s sys 1m8.395s (existing code does not return all macs) after patch: $time bridge fdb show | wc -l 35085 real 0m2.017s user 0m0.113s sys 0m1.942s Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Wilson Kok <wkok@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-06-15net_sched: add the ability to defer skb freeingEric Dumazet1-2/+3
qdisc are changed under RTNL protection and often while blocking BH and root qdisc spinlock. When lots of skbs need to be dropped, we free them under these locks causing TX/RX freezes, and more generally latency spikes. This commit adds rtnl_kfree_skbs(), used to queue skbs for deferred freeing. Actual freeing happens right after RTNL is released, with appropriate scheduling points. rtnl_qdisc_drop() can also be used in place of disc_drop() when RTNL is held. qdisc_reset_queue() and __qdisc_reset_queue() get the new behavior, so standard qdiscs like pfifo, pfifo_fast... have their ->reset() method automatically handled.

2016-01-10net, sched: add clsact qdiscDaniel Borkmann1-0/+5
This work adds a generalization of the ingress qdisc as a qdisc holding only classifiers. The clsact qdisc works on ingress, but also on egress. In both cases, it's execution happens without taking the qdisc lock, and the main difference for the egress part compared to prior version of [1] is that this can be applied with _any_ underlying real egress qdisc (also classless ones). Besides solving the use-case of [1], that is, allowing for more programmability on assigning skb->priority for the mqprio case that is supported by most popular 10G+ NICs, it also opens up a lot more flexibility for other tc applications. The main work on classification can already be done at clsact egress time if the use-case allows and state stored for later retrieval f.e. again in skb->priority with major/minors (which is checked by most classful qdiscs before consulting tc_classify()) and/or in other skb fields like skb->tc_index for some light-weight post-processing to get to the eventual classid in case of a classful qdisc. Another use case is that the clsact egress part allows to have a central egress counterpart to the ingress classifiers, so that classifiers can easily share state (e.g. in cls_bpf via eBPF maps) for ingress and egress. Currently, default setups like mq + pfifo_fast would require for this to use, for example, prio qdisc instead (to get a tc_classify() run) and to duplicate the egress classifier for each queue. With clsact, it allows for leaving the setup as is, it can additionally assign skb->priority to put the skb in one of pfifo_fast's bands and it can share state with maps. Moreover, we can access the skb's dst entry (f.e. to retrieve tclassid) w/o the need to perform a skb_dst_force() to hold on to it any longer. In lwt case, we can also use this facility to setup dst metadata via cls_bpf (bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key()) without needing a real egress qdisc just for that (case of IFF_NO_QUEUE devices, for example). The realization can be done without any changes to the scheduler core framework. All it takes is that we have two a-priori defined minors/child classes, where we can mux between ingress and egress classifier list (dev->ingress_cl_list and dev->egress_cl_list, latter stored close to dev->_tx to avoid extra cacheline miss for moderate loads). The egress part is a bit similar modelled to handle_ing() and patched to a noop in case the functionality is not used. Both handlers are now called sch_handle_ingress() and sch_handle_egress(), code sharing among the two doesn't seem practical as there are various minor differences in both paths, so that making them conditional in a single handler would rather slow things down. Full compatibility to ingress qdisc is provided as well. Since both piggyback on TC_H_CLSACT, only one of them (ingress/clsact) can exist per netdevice, and thus ingress qdisc specific behaviour can be retained for user space. This means, either a user does 'tc qdisc add dev foo ingress' and configures ingress qdisc as usual, or the 'tc qdisc add dev foo clsact' alternative, where both, ingress and egress classifier can be configured as in the below example. ingress qdisc supports attaching classifier to any minor number whereas clsact has two fixed minors for muxing between the lists, therefore to not break user space setups, they are better done as two separate qdiscs. I decided to extend the sch_ingress module with clsact functionality so that commonly used code can be reused, the module is being aliased with sch_clsact so that it can be auto-loaded properly. Alternative would have been to add a flag when initializing ingress to alter its behaviour plus aliasing to a different name (as it's more than just ingress). However, the first would end up, based on the flag, choosing the new/old behaviour by calling different function implementations to handle each anyway, the latter would require to register ingress qdisc once again under different alias. So, this really begs to provide a minimal, cleaner approach to have Qdisc_ops and Qdisc_class_ops by its own that share callbacks used by both. Example, adding qdisc: # tc qdisc add dev foo clsact # tc qdisc show dev foo qdisc mq 0: root qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :1 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :2 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :3 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :4 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc clsact ffff: parent ffff:fff1 Adding filters (deleting, etc works analogous by specifying ingress/egress): # tc filter add dev foo ingress bpf da obj bar.o sec ingress # tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da obj bar.o sec egress # tc filter show dev foo ingress filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[ingress] direct-action # tc filter show dev foo egress filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[egress] direct-action A 'tc filter show dev foo' or 'tc filter show dev foo parent ffff:' will show an empty list for clsact. Either using the parent names (ingress/egress) or specifying the full major/minor will then show the related filter lists.

2015-06-23switchdev; add VLAN support for port's bridge_getlinkScott Feldman1-1/+5
One more missing piece of the puzzle. Add vlan dump support to switchdev port's bridge_getlink. iproute2 "bridge vlan show" cmd already knows how to show the vlans installed on the bridge and the device , but (until now) no one implemented the port vlan part of the netlink PF_BRIDGE:RTM_GETLINK msg. Before this patch, "bridge vlan show": $ bridge -c vlan show port vlan ids sw1p1 30-34 << bridge side vlans 57 sw1p1 << device side vlans (missing) sw1p2 57 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4 br0 None (When the port is bridged, the output repeats the vlan list for the vlans on the bridge side of the port and the vlans on the device side of the port. The listing above show no vlans for the device side even though they are installed). After this patch: $ bridge -c vlan show port vlan ids sw1p1 30-34 << bridge side vlan 57 sw1p1 30-34 << device side vlans 57 3840 PVID sw1p2 57 sw1p2 57 3840 PVID sw1p3 3842 PVID sw1p4 3843 PVID br0 None I re-used ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink to add vlan fill call-back func. switchdev support adds an obj dump for VLAN objects, using the same call-back scheme as FDB dump.

2015-04-13net: use jump label patching for ingress qdisc in __netif_receive_skb_coreDaniel Borkmann1-1/+14
Even if we make use of classifier and actions from the egress path, we're going into handle_ing() executing additional code on a per-packet cost for ingress qdisc, just to realize that nothing is attached on ingress. Instead, this can just be blinded out as a no-op entirely with the use of a static key. On input fast-path, we already make use of static keys in various places, e.g. skb time stamping, in RPS, etc. It makes sense to not waste time when we're assured that no ingress qdisc is attached anywhere. Enabling/disabling of that code path is being done via two helpers, namely net_{inc,dec}_ingress_queue(), that are being invoked under RTNL mutex when a ingress qdisc is being either initialized or destructed.

2014-12-09rtnetlink: delay RTM_DELLINK notification until after ndo_uninit()Mahesh Bandewar1-0/+5
The commit 56bfa7ee7c ("unregister_netdevice : move RTM_DELLINK to until after ndo_uninit") tried to do this ealier but while doing so it created a problem. Unfortunately the delayed rtmsg_ifinfo() also delayed call to fill_info(). So this translated into asking driver to remove private state and then query it's private state. This could have catastropic consequences. This change breaks the rtmsg_ifinfo() into two parts - one takes the precise snapshot of the device by called fill_info() before calling the ndo_uninit() and the second part sends the notification using collected snapshot. It was brought to notice when last link is deleted from an ipvlan device when it has free-ed the port and the subsequent .fill_info() call is trying to get the info from the port. kernel: [ 255.139429] ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: [ 255.139439] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 11173 at net/core/rtnetlink.c:2238 rtmsg_ifinfo+0x100/0x110() kernel: [ 255.139493] Modules linked in: ipvlan bonding w1_therm ds2482 wire cdc_acm ehci_pci ehci_hcd i2c_dev i2c_i801 i2c_core msr cpuid bnx2x ptp pps_core mdio libcrc32c kernel: [ 255.139513] CPU: 12 PID: 11173 Comm: ip Not tainted 3.18.0-smp-DEV #167 kernel: [ 255.139514] Hardware name: Intel RML,PCH/Ibis_QC_18, BIOS 1.0.10 05/15/2012 kernel: [ 255.139515] 0000000000000009 ffff880851b6b828 ffffffff815d87f4 00000000000000e0 kernel: [ 255.139516] 0000000000000000 ffff880851b6b868 ffffffff8109c29c 0000000000000000 kernel: [ 255.139518] 00000000ffffffa6 00000000000000d0 ffffffff81aaf580 0000000000000011 kernel: [ 255.139520] Call Trace: kernel: [ 255.139527] [<ffffffff815d87f4>] dump_stack+0x46/0x58 kernel: [ 255.139531] [<ffffffff8109c29c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 kernel: [ 255.139540] [<ffffffff8109c2ea>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 kernel: [ 255.139544] [<ffffffff8150d570>] rtmsg_ifinfo+0x100/0x110 kernel: [ 255.139547] [<ffffffff814f78b5>] rollback_registered_many+0x1d5/0x2d0 kernel: [ 255.139549] [<ffffffff814f79cf>] unregister_netdevice_many+0x1f/0xb0 kernel: [ 255.139551] [<ffffffff8150acab>] rtnl_dellink+0xbb/0x110 kernel: [ 255.139553] [<ffffffff8150da90>] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0xa0/0x240 kernel: [ 255.139557] [<ffffffff81329283>] ? rhashtable_lookup_compare+0x43/0x80 kernel: [ 255.139558] [<ffffffff8150d9f0>] ? __rtnl_unlock+0x20/0x20 kernel: [ 255.139562] [<ffffffff8152cb11>] netlink_rcv_skb+0xb1/0xc0 kernel: [ 255.139563] [<ffffffff8150a495>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x25/0x40 kernel: [ 255.139565] [<ffffffff8152c398>] netlink_unicast+0x178/0x230 kernel: [ 255.139567] [<ffffffff8152c75f>] netlink_sendmsg+0x30f/0x420 kernel: [ 255.139571] [<ffffffff814e0b0c>] sock_sendmsg+0x9c/0xd0 kernel: [ 255.139575] [<ffffffff811d1d7f>] ? rw_copy_check_uvector+0x6f/0x130 kernel: [ 255.139577] [<ffffffff814e11c9>] ? copy_msghdr_from_user+0x139/0x1b0 kernel: [ 255.139578] [<ffffffff814e1774>] ___sys_sendmsg+0x304/0x310 kernel: [ 255.139581] [<ffffffff81198723>] ? handle_mm_fault+0xca3/0xde0 kernel: [ 255.139585] [<ffffffff811ebc4c>] ? destroy_inode+0x3c/0x70 kernel: [ 255.139589] [<ffffffff8108e6ec>] ? __do_page_fault+0x20c/0x500 kernel: [ 255.139597] [<ffffffff811e8336>] ? dput+0xb6/0x190 kernel: [ 255.139606] [<ffffffff811f05f6>] ? mntput+0x26/0x40 kernel: [ 255.139611] [<ffffffff811d2b94>] ? __fput+0x174/0x1e0 kernel: [ 255.139613] [<ffffffff814e2129>] __sys_sendmsg+0x49/0x90 kernel: [ 255.139615] [<ffffffff814e2182>] SyS_sendmsg+0x12/0x20 kernel: [ 255.139617] [<ffffffff815df092>] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x17 kernel: [ 255.139619] ---[ end trace 5e6703e87d984f6b ]--- Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reported-by: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Cc: David S.

With this patch the bridge mode can be toggled between VEB and VEPA to support stacking macvlan devices or using the embedded switch without any SW component in 802.1Qbg/br environments. Additionally, this adds source address pruning to the ixgbevf driver to prune any frames sent back from a reflective relay on the switch. This is required because the existing hardware does not support this. Without it frames get pushed into the stack with its own src mac which is invalid per 802.1Qbg VEPA definition.

2012-04-15net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooksJohn Fastabend1-0/+4
This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master' device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge, or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command will be handled by the master device as well so that current user space tools continue to work as expected. The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed and programmed in the embedded bridge. Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge in sync. There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any error occurs. To support this new net device ops were added to call into the device and the existing bridging code was refactored to use these. There should be no required changes in user space to support the current bridge behavior. A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this, veth0 veth2 | | ------------ | bridge0 | <---- software bridging ------------ / / ethx.y ethx VF PF \ \ <---- propagate FDB entries to HW \ \ -------------------- | Embedded Bridge | <---- hardware offloaded switching -------------------- In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0' to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this into the DSA framework generates similar management issues. Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled ixgbe driver: # br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3 # br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static #br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 #br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 local embedded #br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all.

2012-02-21rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose1-0/+3
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2011-06-21net: dcbnl, add multicast group for DCBJohn Fastabend1-0/+2
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.

2010-05-11ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tablesPatrick McHardy1-1/+2
This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances, named "tables". Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT6_TABLE. The table number is stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ip6mr setsockopt(), getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT6_TABLE_DFLT) is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pim6reg devices have the table number appended ("pim6regX"), with the exception of devices created in the default table, which are named just "pim6reg" for compatibility reasons. Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules, similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported additionally. Example usage: - bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table: uint32_t table = 123; setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, MRT6_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table)); - create routing rules directing packets to the new table: # ip -6 mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123 # ip -6 mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table without breaking compatibility.

Similar to that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values above that may be used arbitrarily. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

They try to use the listening socket's 'dst' to probe the route settings. The listening socket doesn't even have a route, and you can't get the right route (the child request one) until much later after we setup all of the state, and it must be done by hand.

2009-03-19rtnetlink: add new value for DHCP added routesStephen Hemminger1-0/+1
To improve manageability, it would be good to be able to disambiguate routes added by administrator from those added by DHCP client. The only necessary kernel change is to add value to rtnetlink include file so iproute2 utility can use it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-24netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso1-2/+2
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

2008-11-20ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driverAlexander Duyck1-0/+5
This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the kernel. The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) - which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) - which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).
