PERMANENT entries are not on the gc_list so the state check is now redundant. Also, the move to not purge entries until after 5 seconds should not apply to FAILED entries; those can be removed immediately to make way for newer ones. This restores the previous logic prior to the gc_list. Fixes: 58956317 ("neighbor: Improve garbage collection") Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Petr Machata says: ==================== Introduce NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR Spectrum devices have a limitation that all router interfaces need to have the same address prefix. In Spectrum-1, the requirement is for the initial 38 bits of all RIFs to be the same, in Spectrum-2 the limit is 36 bits. Currently violations of this requirement are not diagnosed. At the same time, if the condition is not upheld, the mismatched MAC address ends up overwriting the common prefix, and all RIF MAC addresses silently change to the new prefix. It is therefore desirable to be able at least to diagnose the issue, and better to reject attempts to change MAC addresses in ways that is incompatible with the device. Currently MAC address changes are notified through emission of NETDEV_CHANGEADDR, which is done after the change. Extending this message to allow vetoing is certainly possible, but several other notification types have instead adopted a simple two-stage approach: first a "pre" notification is sent to make sure all interested parties are OK with the change that's about to be done. Then the change is done, and afterwards a "post" notification is sent. This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back. Therefore this patchset introduces it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well. One prominent path to emitting NETDEV_CHANGEADDR is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore in patch #1, give this function an extack argument, so that a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be communicated back to the user. In patch #2, add the new notification type. In patch #3, have dev.c emit the notification for instances of dev_addr change, or addition of an address to dev_addrs list. In patches #4 and #5, extend the bridge driver to handle and emit the new notifier. In patch #6, change IPVLAN to emit the new notifier. Likewise for bonding driver in patches #7 and #8. Note that the team driver doesn't need this treatment, as it goes through dev_set_mac_address(). In patches #9, #10 and #11 adapt mlxsw to veto MAC addresses on router interfaces, if they violate the requirement that all RIF MAC addresses have the same prefix. Finally in patches #12 and #13, add a test for vetoing of a direct change of a port device MAC, and indirect change of a bridge MAC. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When a port is attached to a bridge, the address of the bridge in question may change as well. Even if it would not change at this point (because the current bridge address is lower), it might end up changing later as a result of detach of another port, which can't be vetoed. Therefore issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR regardless of whether the address will be used at this point or not, and make sure all involved parties would agree with the change.

Petr Machata says: ==================== Pass extack to SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD Drivers may need to do validation as a result of port object addition. An example is mlxsw, which needs to check the configuration of a VXLAN device attached to an offloaded bridge. Without a mapped VLAN, the invalidity of the device is not important, but as soon as a pvid, untagged VLAN is configured for the device, it has to be validated and offloaded. Should the validation fail, there's currently no way to communicate details of the failure to the user, beyond an error number. Because currently, extack is not available at all in that area of code, this patch starts down at the RTNL level and progresses up towards the driver(s). In patch #1, ndo_bridge_setlink is updated to include extack, and callbacks of all clients are updated as well (ignoring the argument). In patch #2, the bridge driver is updated to propagate the extack through to the switchdev border, br_switchdev_port_vlan_add(). Patches #3, #4 and #5 then gradually extend switchdev to pass the extack argument through to the switchdev blocking notifier chain. Patches #6 and #7 then update mlxsw to pass the extack argument from VXLAN events resp. port events on to mlxsw_sp_bridge_8021q_vxlan_join(). Finally in patches #8 and #9, the code paths from the previous two patches are verified to yield an error message. v2: - Patch #1: - In ndo_bridge_setlink(), keep the whole extack declaration on the same line. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

After switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() was extended in a preceding patch, mlxsw_sp_port_obj_add() now takes an extack argument.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add Spectrum-2 multicast routing support Nir says: In Spectrum the firmware provided an abstraction for multicast routing on top of the policy engine. In Spectrum-2 this is no longer the case and the driver must interact directly with the policy engine in order to program multicast routes. Every route is written as an ACL rule, its priority set according to route type (*,G) or (S,G) and its action is an appropriate multicast routing action. Multicast routes are written to a specific ACL group which is bound to the appropriate IP protocol IPv4/IPv6. Patch #1 adds PEMRBT register needed to declare which ACL group is dedicated for each IP protocol multicast routing function. Patch #2 Changes initialization order and puts ACL before router as multicast router now uses ACL module. Patch #3 adds Spectrum-2 ACL keys needed for multicast route matching. Patch #4 adds another ACL profile - in addition to existing flower profile - which allows the multicast routing module to program rules directly into the ACL block. Patch #5 adds the ability to update ACL rules' action, since multicast routes actions may be updated after being configured. Patch #6 separates rule creation operation and rule action creation operation as in multicast router the action is created before the route is inserted. Patch #7 sharpens priority handling in Spectrum-2, to ensure incorrect values are not set to rule's priority. Patch #8 adds the implementation of multicast routing for IPv4 and IPv6 over existing ACL rule programming Finally, patch #9 adds a test for IPv4/IPv6 multicast routing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
