| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | | net: stmmac: add support for independent DMA pbl for tx/rxNiklas Cassel2016-12-081-6/+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.

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>
| * | | netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctlFlorian Westphal2016-12-041-0/+11

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.

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.

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>

* | | | | tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPINGFrancis Yan2016-11-301-0/+10

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | rxrpc: Don't expose skbs to in-kernel users [ver #2]David Howells2016-09-021-41/+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.

Further, this allows us to hide any canonicalisation inside AF_RXRPC for when IPv6 support is added.

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.
