BPF filters lack ability to access skb->vlan_tci This patch adds two new ancillary accessors : SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG (44) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_get(skb) SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG_PRESENT (48) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_present(skb) This allows libpcap/tcpdump to use a kernel filter instead of having to fallback to accept all packets, then filter them in user space.

Network device drivers can communicate a Toeplitz hash in skb->rxhash, but devices differ in their hashing capabilities. All compute a 5-tuple hash for TCP over IPv4, but for other connection-oriented protocols, they may compute only a 3-tuple. This breaks RPS load balancing, e.g., for TCP over IPv6 flows. Additionally, for GRE and other tunnels, the kernel computes a 5-tuple hash over the inner packet if possible, but devices do not. This patch recomputes the rxhash in software in all cases where it cannot be certain that a 5-tuple was computed. Device drivers can avoid recomputation by setting the skb->l4_rxhash flag. Recomputing adds cycles to each packet when RPS is enabled or the packet arrives over a tunnel. A comparison of 200x TCP_STREAM between two servers running unmodified netnext with rxhash computation in hardware vs software (using ethtool -K eth0 rxhash [on|off]) shows how much time is spent in __skb_get_rxhash in this worst case: 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.05% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash With 200x TCP_RR it increases to 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash 0.10% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __skb_get_rxhash I considered having the patch explicitly skips recomputation when it knows that it will not improve the hash (TCP over IPv4), but that conditional complicates code without saving many cycles in practice, because it has to take place after flow dissector.

This adds support for the net device ops to manage the embedded hardware bridge on ixgbe devices. 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.

Hardware switches may support enabling and disabling the loopback switch which puts the device in a VEPA mode defined in the IEEE 802.1Qbg specification. In this mode frames are not switched in the hardware but sent directly to the switch. SR-IOV capable NICs will likely support this mode I am aware of at least two such devices. Also I am told (but don't have any of this hardware available) that there are devices that only support VEPA modes. In these cases it is important at a minimum to be able to query these attributes. This patch adds an additional IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute that can be set and dumped via the PF_BRIDGE:{SET|GET}LINK operations. Also anticipating bridge attributes that may be common for both embedded bridges and software bridges this adds a flags attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS currently used to determine if the command or event is being generated to/from an embedded bridge or software bridge. Finally, the event generation is pulled out of the bridge module and into rtnetlink proper. For example using the macvlan driver in VEPA mode on top of an embedded switch requires putting the embedded switch into a VEPA mode to get the expected results. -------- -------- | VEPA | | VEPA | <-- macvlan vepa edge relays -------- -------- | | | | ------------------ | VEPA | <-- embedded switch in NIC ------------------ | | ------------------- | external switch | <-- shiny new physical ------------------- switch with VEPA support A packet sent from the macvlan VEPA at the top could be loopbacked on the embedded switch and never seen by the external switch. So in order for this to work the embedded switch needs to be set in the VEPA state via the above described commands. By making these attributes nested in IFLA_AF_SPEC we allow future extensions to be made as needed.

The PF_BRIDGE:RTM_{GET|SET}LINK nlmsg family and type are currently embedded in the ./net/bridge module. This prohibits them from being used by other bridging devices. One example of this being hardware that has embedded bridging components. In order to use these nlmsg types more generically this patch adds two net_device_ops hooks. One to set link bridge attributes and another to dump the current bride attributes. ndo_bridge_setlink() ndo_bridge_getlink() CC: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag from the local to the global entry. This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later, once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

To simplify TranslationTable debugging it is better to print the packet rerouting message on the DBG_TT log level. In this way a developer interested in packets rerouting doesn't need to filter it out of the whole ROUTES log. Moreover, since this message will appear for each rerouted message, it is now "ratelimited". Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

in case of a new global entry added because of roaming, the roam_at field must be properly initiated with the current time. This value will be later use to purge this entry out on time out (if nobody claims it). Instead roam_at field is now set to zero in this situation leading to an immediate purging of the related entry. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock. This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each transmission.
