      pptp: support sockets bound to an interface · 43d28c61
      Ulrich Weber authored
      use sk_bound_dev_if for route lookup as already done
      in most of the other ip_route_output_ports() calls.
      
      Since most PPPoA providers use 10.0.0.138 as default gateway IP
      this will allow connections to multiple PPTP providers with the
      same IP address over different interfaces.

      ====================
      net: bridge: add vlan notifications and rtm support
      
      This patch-set is a prerequisite for adding per-vlan options support
      because we need to be able to send vlan-only notifications and do larger
      vlan netlink dumps. Per-vlan options are needed as we move the control
      more to vlans and would like to add per-vlan state (needed for per-vlan
      STP and EVPN), per-vlan multicast options and control, and I'm sure
      there would be many more per-vlan options coming.
      Now we create/delete/dump vlans with the device AF_SPEC attribute which is
      fine since we support vlan ranges or use a compact bridge_vlan_info
      structure, but that cannot really be extended to support per-vlan options
      well. The biggest issue is dumping them - we tried using the af_spec with
      a new vlan option attribute but that led to insufficient message size
      quickly, also another minor problem with that is we have to dump all vlans
      always when notifying which, with options present, can be huge if they have
      different options set, so we decided to add new rtm message types
      specifically for vlans and register handlers for them and a new bridge vlan
      notification nl group for vlan-only notifications.
      The new RTM NEW/DEL/GETVLAN types introduced match the current af spec
      bridge functionality and in fact use the same helpers.
      The new nl format is:
       [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY]
          [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_INFO] - bridge_vlan_info (either 1 vlan or
                                                         range start)
          [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_RANGE] - range end
      
      This allows to encapsulate a range in a single attribute and also to
      create vlans and immediately set options on all of them with a single
      attribute. The GETVLAN dump can span multiple messages and dump all the
      necessary information. The vlan-only notifications are sent on
      NEW/DELVLAN events or when vlan options change (currently only flags),
      we try hard to compress the vlans into ranges in the notifications as
      well. When the per-vlan options are added we'll add helpers to check for
      option equality between neighbor vlans and will keep compressing them
      when possible.
      
      Note patch 02 is not really required, it's just a nice addition to have
      human-readable error messages from the different vlan checks.
      
      iproute2 changes and selftests will be sent with the next set which adds
      the first per-vlan option - per-vlan state similar to the port state.
      
      v2: changed patch 03 and patch 04 to use nlmsg_parse() in order to
          strictly validate the msg and make sure there are no remaining bytes

      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      Now that we can notify, send a notification on add/del or change of flags.
      Notifications are also compressed when possible to reduce their number
      and relieve user-space of extra processing, due to that we have to
      manually notify after each add/del in order to avoid double
      notifications. We try hard to notify only about the vlans which actually
      changed, thus a single command can result in multiple notifications
      about disjoint ranges if there were vlans which didn't change inside.

      Add a new vlandb nl attribute - BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_RANGE which causes

      similar vlans into ranges. This will be also used when per-vlan options
      are introduced and vlans' options match, they will be put into a single
      range which is encapsulated in one netlink attribute. We need to run
      similar checks as br_process_vlan_info() does because these ranges will
      be used for options setting and they'll be able to skip
      br_process_vlan_info().

      ====================
      net: Add route offload indication
      
      This patch set adds offload indication to IPv4 and IPv6 routes. So far
      offload indication was only available for the nexthop via
      'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD', which is problematic as a nexthop is usually shared
      between multiple routes.
      
      Based on feedback from Roopa and David on the RFC [1], the indication is
      split to 'offload' and 'trap'. This is done because not all the routes
      present in hardware actually offload traffic from the kernel. For
      example, host routes merely trap packets to the kernel. The two flags
      are dumped to user space via the 'rtm_flags' field in the ancillary
      header of the rtnetlink message.
      
      In addition, the patch set uses the new flags in order to test the FIB
      offload API by adding a dummy FIB offload implementation to netdevsim.
      The new tests are added to a shared library and can be therefore shared
      between different drivers.
      
      Patches #1-#3 add offload indication to IPv4 routes.
      Patches #4 adds offload indication to IPv6 routes.
      Patches #5-#6 add support for the offload indication in mlxsw.
      Patch #7 adds dummy FIB offload implementation in netdevsim.

      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Set hardware flags for routes · ee5a0448
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Previous patches added support for two hardware flags for IPv4 and IPv6
      routes: 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' and 'RTM_F_TRAP'. Both indicate the presence of
      the route in hardware. The first indicates that traffic is actually
      offloaded from the kernel, whereas the second indicates that packets
      hitting such routes are trapped to the kernel for processing (e.g., host
      routes).
      
      Use these two flags in mlxsw. The flags are modified in two places.
      Firstly, whenever a route is updated in the device's table. This
      includes the addition, deletion or update of a route. For example, when
      a host route is promoted to perform NVE decapsulation, its action in the
      device is updated, the 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' flag set and the 'RTM_F_TRAP'
      flag cleared.
      
      Secondly, when a route is replaced and overwritten by another route, its
      flags are cleared.

      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Separate nexthop offload indication from route · 8c5a5b9b
      Ido Schimmel authored
      The driver currently uses the 'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD' flag for both routes and
      nexthops, which is cumbersome and unnecessary now that we have separate
      flag for the route itself.
      
      Separate the offload indication for nexthops from routes and call it
      whenever the offload state within the nexthop group changes.
      
      Note that IPv6 (unlike IPv4) does not share the same nexthop group
      between different routes, whereas mlxsw does. Therefore, whenever the
      offload indication within an IPv6 nexthop group changes, all the linked
      routes need to be updated.

      ipv4: Add "offload" and "trap" indications to routes · 90b93f1b
      Ido Schimmel authored
      When performing L3 offload, routes and nexthops are usually programmed
      into two different tables in the underlying device. Therefore, the fact
      that a nexthop resides in hardware does not necessarily mean that all
      the associated routes also reside in hardware and vice-versa.
      
      While the kernel can signal to user space the presence of a nexthop in
      hardware (via 'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD'), it does not have a corresponding flag
      for routes. In addition, the fact that a route resides in hardware does
      not necessarily mean that the traffic is offloaded. For example,
      unreachable routes (i.e., 'RTN_UNREACHABLE') are programmed to trap
      packets to the CPU so that the kernel will be able to generate the
      appropriate ICMP error packet.
      
      This patch adds an "offload" and "trap" indications to IPv4 routes, so
      that users will have better visibility into the offload process.
      
      'struct fib_alias' is extended with two new fields that indicate if the
      route resides in hardware or not and if it is offloading traffic from
      the kernel or trapping packets to it. Note that the new fields are added
      in the 6 bytes hole and therefore the struct still fits in a single
      cache line [1].
      
      Capable drivers are expected to invoke fib_alias_hw_flags_set() with the
      route's key in order to set the flags.
      
      The indications are dumped to user space via a new flags (i.e.,
      'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' and 'RTM_F_TRAP') in the 'rtm_flags' field in the
      ancillary header.

      ipv4: Encapsulate function arguments in a struct · 1e301fd0
      Ido Schimmel authored
      fib_dump_info() is used to prepare RTM_{NEW,DEL}ROUTE netlink messages
      using the passed arguments. Currently, the function takes 11 arguments,
      6 of which are attributes of the route being dumped (e.g., prefix, TOS).
      
      The next patch will need the function to also dump to user space an
      indication if the route is present in hardware or not. Instead of
      passing yet another argument, change the function to take a struct
      containing the different route attributes.
      
      v2:
      * Name last argument of fib_dump_info()
      * Move 'struct fib_rt_info' to include/net/ip_fib.h so that it could
        later be passed to fib_alias_hw_flags_set()

      ipv4: Replace route in list before notifying · 6324d0fa
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Subsequent patches will add an offload / trap indication to routes which
      will signal if the route is present in hardware or not.
      
      After programming the route to the hardware, drivers will have to ask
      the IPv4 code to set the flags by passing the route's key.
      
      In the case of route replace, the new route is notified before it is
      actually inserted into the FIB alias list. This can prevent simple
      drivers (e.g., netdevsim) that program the route to the hardware in the
      same context it is notified in from being able to set the flag.
      
      Solve this by first inserting the new route to the list and rollback the
      operation in case the route was vetoed.

      ====================
      QRTR flow control improvements
      
      In order to prevent overconsumption of resources on the remote side QRTR
      implements a flow control mechanism.
      
      Move the handling of the incoming confirm_rx to the receiving process to
      ensure incoming flow is controlled. Then implement outgoing flow
      control, using the recommended algorithm of counting outstanding
      non-confirmed messages and blocking when hitting a limit. The last three
      patches refactors the node assignment and port lookup, in order to
      remove the worker in the receive path.

      net: qrtr: Remove receive worker · e04df98a
      Bjorn Andersson authored
      Rather than enqueuing messages and scheduling a worker to deliver them
      to the individual sockets we can now, thanks to the previous work, move
      this directly into the endpoint callback.
      
      This saves us a context switch per incoming message and removes the
      possibility of an opportunistic suspend to happen between the message is
      coming from the endpoint until it ends up in the socket's receive
      buffer.

      net: qrtr: Make qrtr_port_lookup() use RCU · f16a4b26
      Bjorn Andersson authored
      The important part of qrtr_port_lookup() wrt synchronization is that the
      function returns a reference counted struct qrtr_sock, or fail.
      
      As such we need only to ensure that an decrement of the object's
      refcount happens inbetween the finding of the object in the idr and
      qrtr_port_lookup()'s own increment of the object.
      
      By using RCU and putting a synchronization point after we remove the
      mapping from the idr, but before it can be released we achieve this -
      with the benefit of not having to hold the mutex in qrtr_port_lookup().

      net: qrtr: Implement outgoing flow control · 5fdeb0d3
      Bjorn Andersson authored
      In order to prevent overconsumption of resources on the remote side QRTR
      implements a flow control mechanism.
      
      The mechanism works by the sender keeping track of the number of
      outstanding unconfirmed messages that has been transmitted to a
      particular node/port pair.
      
      Upon count reaching a low watermark (L) the confirm_rx bit is set in the
      outgoing message and when the count reaching a high watermark (H)
      transmission will be blocked upon the reception of a resume_tx message
      from the remote, that resets the counter to 0.
      
      This guarantees that there will be at most 2H - L messages in flight.
      Values chosen for L and H are 5 and 10 respectively.
