| | | | | | | | | | | netdev_state_change() was called only when end points or link was updated. Now that all parameters are advertised via netlink, we must advertise any change.

* bridge: add root port blockingstephen hemminger2012-11-155-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard. If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not be elected as root port. Why would you want to do this? If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic. Why not just use netfilter? Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions. It would be difficult and error prone to try and mirror STP resolution in netfilter module.

* bridge: implement BPDU blockingstephen hemminger2012-11-155-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is Linux bridge implementation of STP protection (Cisco BPDU guard/Juniper BPDU block). BPDU block disables the bridge port if a STP BPDU packet is received. Why would you want to do this? If running Spanning Tree on bridge, hostile devices on the network may send BPDU and cause network failure. Enabling bpdu block will detect and stop this. How to recover the port? The port will be restarted if link is brought down, or removed and reattached.

* bridge: bridge port parameters over netlinkstephen hemminger2012-11-152-33/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested message, this can be used for other bridge parameters. This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED. The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use with old versions of bridge monitor command. Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more values (like macvlan has).

* igb: Improve performance and reduce size of igb_tx_mapAlexander Duyck2012-11-131-25/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is meant to both improve the performance and reduce the size of igb_tx_map. To do this I have expanded the work done in the main loop by pushing first into tx_buffer. This allows us to pull in the dma_mapping_error check, the tx_buffer value assignment, and the initial DMA value assignment to the Tx descriptor. The net result is that the function reduces in size by a little over a 100 bytes and is about 1% or 2% faster.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is meant to improve the efficiency of the Tx flags in igb by aligning them with the values that will later be written into either the cmd_type or olinfo. By doing this we are able to reduce most of these functions to either just a simple shift followed by an or in the case of cmd_type, or an and followed by an or in the case of olinfo. In order to avoid type conversion errors I also adjusted the locations where we were switching between CPU and little endian.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a gianfar ethernet device is down prior to hibernating a system, it will no longer be present upon system restore. For example: ~# ifconfig eth0 down ~# echo disk > /sys/power/state <trigger a restore from hibernation> ~# ifconfig eth0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device This happens because the restore function bails out early upon finding devices that were not up at hibernation. In doing so, it never gets to the netif_device_attach call at the end of the restore function. Adding the netif_device_attach as done here also makes the gfar_restore code consistent with what is done in the gfar_resume code.

| * pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSOPaolo Valente2012-11-071-30/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is, e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary version of this patch. This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size than the current value of lmax arrives. The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight sum. Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to the function slot_insert.

| * net: inet_diag -- Return error code if protocol handler is missedCyrill Gorcunov2012-11-041-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've observed that in case if UDP diag module is not supported in kernel the netlink returns NLMSG_DONE without notifying a caller that handler is missed. This patch makes __inet_diag_dump to return error code instead. So as example it become possible to detect such situation and handle it gracefully on userspace level.

| * smsc95xx: fix tx checksum offload for big endianSteve Glendinning2012-11-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | f7b2927 introduced tx checksum offload support for smsc95xx, and enabled it by default. This feature doesn't take endianness into account, so causes most tx to fail on those platforms. This patch fixes the problem fully by adding the missing conversion. An alternate workaround is to disable TX checksum offload on those platforms. The cpu impact of this feature is very low.

| * rtnetlink: Use nlmsg type RTM_NEWNEIGH from dflt fdb dumpJohn Fastabend2012-11-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the dflt fdb dump handler to use RTM_NEWNEIGH to be compatible with bridge dump routines. The dump reply from the network driver handlers should match the reply from bridge handler. The fact they were not in the ixgbe case was effectively a bug. This patch resolves it. Applications that were not checking the nlmsg type will continue to work. And now applications that do check the type will work as expected.
