2016-12-08net: smmac: allow configuring lower pbl valuesNiklas Cassel1-1/+4
The driver currently always sets the PBLx8/PBLx4 bit, which means that the pbl values configured via the pbl/txpbl/rxpbl DT properties are always multiplied by 8/4 in the hardware. In order to allow the DT to configure lower pbl values, while at the same time not changing behavior of any existing device trees using the pbl/txpbl/rxpbl settings, add a property to disable the multiplication of the pbl by 8/4 in the hardware.

2016-12-08net: stmmac: add support for independent DMA pbl for tx/rxNiklas Cassel1-6/+13
GMAC and newer supports independent programmable burst lengths for DMA tx/rx. Add new optional devicetree properties representing this. To be backwards compatible, snps,pbl will still be valid, but snps,txpbl/snps,rxpbl will override the value in snps,pbl if set. If the IP is synthesized to use the AXI interface, there is a register and a matching DT property inside the optional stmmac-axi-config DT node for controlling burst lengths, named snps,blen. However, using this register, it is not possible to control tx and rx independently. Also, this register is not available if the IP was synthesized with, e.g., the AHB interface.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains a large Netfilter update for net-next, to summarise: 1) Add support for stateful objects. This series provides a nf_tables native alternative to the extended accounting infrastructure for nf_tables. Two initial stateful objects are supported: counters and quotas. Objects are identified by a user-defined name, you can fetch and reset them anytime. You can also use a maps to allow fast lookups using any arbitrary key combination. More info at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=148029128323837&w=2 2) On-demand registration of nf_conntrack and defrag hooks per netns. Register nf_conntrack hooks if we have a stateful ruleset, ie. state-based filtering or NAT. The new nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl enables this from newly created netnamespaces. Default behaviour is not modified. Patches from Florian Westphal. 3) Allocate 4k chunks and then use these for x_tables counter allocation requests, this improves ruleset load time and also datapath ruleset evaluation, patches from Florian Westphal. 4) Add support for ebpf to the existing x_tables bpf extension. From Willem de Bruijn. 5) Update layer 4 checksum if any of the pseudoheader fields is updated. This provides a limited form of 1:1 stateless NAT that make sense in specific scenario, eg. load balancing. 6) Add support to flush sets in nf_tables. This series comes with a new set->ops->deactivate_one() indirection given that we have to walk over the list of set elements, then deactivate them one by one. The existing set->ops->deactivate() performs an element lookup that we don't need. 7) Two patches to avoid cloning packets, thus speed up packet forwarding via nft_fwd from ingress. From Florian Westphal. 8) Two IPVS patches via Simon Horman: Decrement ttl in all modes to prevent infinite loops, patch from Dwip Banerjee. And one minor refactoring from Gao feng. 9) Revisit recent log support for nf_tables netdev families: One patch to ensure that we correctly handle non-ethernet packets. Another patch to add missing logger definition for netdev. Patches from Liping Zhang. 10) Three patches for nft_fib, one to address insufficient register initialization and another to solve incorrect (although harmless) byteswap operation. Moreover update xt_rpfilter and nft_fib to match lbcast packets with zeronet as source, eg. DHCP Discover packets (0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255). Also from Liping Zhang. 11) Built-in DCCP, SCTP and UDPlite conntrack and NAT support, from Davide Caratti. While DCCP is rather hopeless lately, and UDPlite has been broken in many-cast mode for some little time, let's give them a chance by placing them at the same level as other existing protocols. Thus, users don't explicitly have to modprobe support for this and NAT rules work for them. Some people point to the lack of support in SOHO Linux-based routers that make deployment of new protocols harder. I guess other middleboxes outthere on the Internet are also to blame. Anyway, let's see if this has any impact in the midrun. 12) Skip software SCTP software checksum calculation if the NIC comes with SCTP checksum offload support. From Davide Caratti. 13) Initial core factoring to prepare conversion to hook array. Three patches from Aaron Conole. 14) Gao Feng made a wrong conversion to switch in the xt_multiport extension in a patch coming in the previous batch. Fix it in this batch. 15) Get vmalloc call in sync with kmalloc flags to avoid a warning and likely OOM killer intervention from x_tables. From Marcelo Ricardo Leitner. 16) Update Arturo Borrero's email address in all source code headers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2016-12-04netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctlFlorian Westphal1-0/+11
This switch (default on) can be used to disable automatic registration of connection tracking functionality in newly created network namespaces. This means that when net namespace goes down (or the tracker protocol module is unloaded) we *might* have to unregister the hooks. We can either add another per-netns variable that tells if the hooks got registered by default, or, alternatively, just call the protocol _put() function and have the callee deal with a possible 'extra' put() operation that doesn't pair with a get() one. This uses the latter approach, i.e. a put() without a get has no effect. Conntrack is still enabled automatically regardless of the new sysctl setting if the new net namespace requires connection tracking, e.g. when NAT rules are created.

2016-12-03ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)Erik Nordmark1-0/+9
Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD. IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored. RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-12-02tcp: allow to turn tcp timestamp randomization offFlorian Westphal1-2/+7
Eric says: "By looking at tcpdump, and TS val of xmit packets of multiple flows, we can deduct the relative qdisc delays (think of fq pacing). This should work even if we have one flow per remote peer." Having random per flow (or host) offsets doesn't allow that anymore so add a way to turn this off.

2016-11-30tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPINGFrancis Yan1-0/+10
This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to tell before this patch without packet traces. To prepare these stats, the user needs to set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS, in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME, TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

2016-09-19ipvlan: Introduce l3s modeMahesh Bandewar1-1/+6
In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns. IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it impossible to do so. This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without changing the skb->dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN to change the skb->dev just before handing over skb to L4.

2016-09-01rxrpc: Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users [ver #2]David Howells1-41/+31
Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users, such as the AFS filesystem, but instead provide a notification hook the indicates that a call needs attention and another that indicates that there's a new call to be collected. This makes the following possibilities more achievable: (1) Call refcounting can be made simpler if skbs don't hold refs to calls. (2) skbs referring to non-data events will be able to be freed much sooner rather than being queued for AFS to pick up as rxrpc_kernel_recv_data will be able to consult the call state. (3) We can shortcut the receive phase when a call is remotely aborted because we don't have to go through all the packets to get to the one cancelling the operation. (4) It makes it easier to do encryption/decryption directly between AFS's buffers and sk_buffs. (5) Encryption/decryption can more easily be done in the AFS's thread contexts - usually that of the userspace process that issued a syscall - rather than in one of rxrpc's background threads on a workqueue. (6) AFS will be able to wait synchronously on a call inside AF_RXRPC. To make this work, the following interface function has been added: int rxrpc_kernel_recv_data( struct socket *sock, struct rxrpc_call *call, void *buffer, size_t bufsize, size_t *_offset, bool want_more, u32 *_abort_code); This is the recvmsg equivalent. It allows the caller to find out about the state of a specific call and to transfer received data into a buffer piecemeal. afs_extract_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() now do all the extraction logic between them. They don't wait synchronously yet because the socket lock needs to be dealt with. Five interface functions have been removed: rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last() rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code() rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number() rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed() As a temporary hack, sk_buffs going to an in-kernel call are queued on the rxrpc_call struct (->knlrecv_queue) rather than being handed over to the in-kernel user. To process the queue internally, a temporary function, temp_deliver_data() has been added. This will be replaced with common code between the rxrpc_recvmsg() path and the kernel_rxrpc_recv_data() path in a future patch.

2016-08-30rxrpc: Pass struct socket * to more rxrpc kernel interface functionsDavid Howells1-3/+8
Pass struct socket * to more rxrpc kernel interface functions. They should be starting from this rather than the socket pointer in the rxrpc_call struct if they need to access the socket. I have left: rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last() rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code() rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number() rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() rxrpc_kernel_data_consumed() unmodified as they're all about to be removed (and, in any case, don't touch the socket).

2016-08-30rxrpc: Provide a way for AFS to ask for the peer address of a callDavid Howells1-0/+7
Provide a function so that kernel users, such as AFS, can ask for the peer address of a call: void rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct sockaddr_rxrpc *_srx); In the future the kernel service won't get sk_buffs to look inside. Further, this allows us to hide any canonicalisation inside AF_RXRPC for when IPv6 support is added. Also propagate this through to afs_find_server() and issue a warning if we can't handle the address family yet. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2016-08-26bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devicesIdo Schimmel1-9/+4
switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be flooded twice. It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch. This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account, such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which is impossible. The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports, which are not necessarily port netdevs. Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e. having the same parent ID). Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

2016-08-24net: dsa: rename switch operations structureVivien Didelot1-5/+5
Now that the dsa_switch_driver structure contains only function pointers as it is supposed to, rename it to the more appropriate dsa_switch_ops, uniformly to any other operations structure in the kernel. No functional changes here, basically just the result of something like: s/dsa_switch_driver *drv/dsa_switch_ops *ops/g However keep the {un,}register_switch_driver functions and their dsa_switch_drivers list as is, since they represent the -- likely to be deprecated soon -- legacy DSA registration framework. In the meantime, also fix the following checks from checkpatch.pl to make it happy with this patch: CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!ops" #403: FILE: net/dsa/dsa.c:470: + if (ops == NULL) { CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "ds->ops->get_strings" #773: FILE: net/dsa/slave.c:697: + if (ds->ops->get_strings != NULL) CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "ds->ops->get_ethtool_stats" #824: FILE: net/dsa/slave.c:785: + if (ds->ops->get_ethtool_stats != NULL) CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "ds->ops->get_sset_count" #835: FILE: net/dsa/slave.c:798: + if (ds->ops->get_sset_count != NULL) total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 4 checks, 784 lines checked Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@savoirfairelinux.com> Acked-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
