      bnxt: Use generic HBH removal helper in tx path · b6488b16
      Coco Li authored
      Eric Dumazet implemented Big TCP that allowed bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes
      for IPv6 traffic. See patch series:
      'commit 89527be8 ("net: add IFLA_TSO_{MAX_SIZE|SEGS} attributes")'
      
      This reduces the number of packets traversing the networking stack and
      should usually improves performance. However, it also inserts a
      temporary Hop-by-hop IPv6 extension header.
      
      Using the HBH header removal method in the previous patch, the extra header
      be removed in bnxt drivers to allow it to send big TCP packets (bigger
      TSO packets) as well.
      
      Tested:
      Compiled locally
      
      To further test functional correctness, update the GSO/GRO limit on the
      physical NIC:
      
      ip link set eth0 gso_max_size 181000
      ip link set eth0 gro_max_size 181000
      
      Note that if there are bonding or ipvan devices on top of the physical
      NIC, their GSO sizes need to be updated as well.
      
      Then, IPv6/TCP packets with sizes larger than 64k can be observed.

      IPv6/GRO: generic helper to remove temporary HBH/jumbo header in driver · 89300468
      Coco Li authored
      IPv6/TCP and GRO stacks can build big TCP packets with an added
      temporary Hop By Hop header.
      
      Is GSO is not involved, then the temporary header needs to be removed in
      the driver. This patch provides a generic helper for drivers that need
      to modify their headers in place.

      ====================
      bridge: mcast: Extensions for EVPN
      
      tl;dr
      =====
      
      This patchset creates feature parity between user space and the kernel
      and allows the former to install and replace MDB port group entries with
      a source list and associated filter mode. This is required for EVPN use
      cases where multicast state is not derived from snooped IGMP/MLD
      packets, but instead derived from EVPN routes exchanged by the control
      plane in user space.
      
      Background
      ==========
      
      IGMPv3 [1] and MLDv2 [2] differ from earlier versions of the protocols
      in that they add support for source-specific multicast. That is, hosts
      can advertise interest in listening to a particular multicast address
      only from specific source addresses or from all sources except for
      specific source addresses.
      
      In kernel 5.10 [3][4], the bridge driver gained the ability to snoop
      IGMPv3/MLDv2 packets and install corresponding MDB port group entries.
      For example, a snooped IGMPv3 Membership Report that contains a single
      MODE_IS_EXCLUDE record for group 239.10.10.10 with sources 192.0.2.1,
      192.0.2.2, 192.0.2.20 and 192.0.2.21 would trigger the creation of these
      entries:
      
       # bridge -d mdb show
       dev br0 port veth1 grp 239.10.10.10 src 192.0.2.21 temp filter_mode include proto kernel  blocked
       dev br0 port veth1 grp 239.10.10.10 src 192.0.2.20 temp filter_mode include proto kernel  blocked
       dev br0 port veth1 grp 239.10.10.10 src 192.0.2.2 temp filter_mode include proto kernel  blocked
       dev br0 port veth1 grp 239.10.10.10 src 192.0.2.1 temp filter_mode include proto kernel  blocked
       dev br0 port veth1 grp 239.10.10.10 temp filter_mode exclude source_list 192.0.2.21/0.00,192.0.2.20/0.00,192.0.2.2/0.00,192.0.2.1/0.00 proto kernel
      
      While the kernel can install and replace entries with a filter mode and
      source list, user space cannot. It can only add EXCLUDE entries with an
      empty source list, which is sufficient for IGMPv2/MLDv1, but not for
      IGMPv3/MLDv2.
      
      Use cases where the multicast state is not derived from snooped packets,
      but instead derived from routes exchanged by the user space control
      plane require feature parity between user space and the kernel in terms
      of MDB configuration. Such a use case is detailed in the next section.
      
      Motivation
      ==========
      
      RFC 7432 [5] defines a "MAC/IP Advertisement route" (type 2) [6] that
      allows NVE switches in the EVPN network to advertise and learn
      reachability information for unicast MAC addresses. Traffic destined to
      a unicast MAC address can therefore be selectively forwarded to a single
      NVE switch behind which the MAC is located.
      
      The same is not true for IP multicast traffic. Such traffic is simply
      flooded as BUM to all NVE switches in the broadcast domain (BD),
      regardless if a switch has interested receivers for the multicast stream
      or not. This is especially problematic for overlay networks that make
      heavy use of multicast.
      
      The issue is addressed by RFC 9251 [7] that defines a "Selective
      Multicast Ethernet Tag Route" (type 6) [8] which allows NVE switches in
      the EVPN network to advertise multicast streams that they are interested
      in. This is done by having each switch suppress IGMP/MLD packets from
      being transmitted to the NVE network and instead communicate the
      information over BGP to other switches.
      
      As far as the bridge driver is concerned, the above means that the
      multicast state (i.e., {multicast address, group timer, filter-mode,
      (source records)}) for the VXLAN bridge port is not populated by the
      kernel from snooped IGMP/MLD packets (they are suppressed), but instead
      by user space. Specifically, by the routing daemon that is exchanging
      EVPN routes with other NVE switches.
      
      Changes are obviously also required in the VXLAN driver, but they are
      the subject of future patchsets. See the "Future work" section.
      
      Implementation
      ==============
      
      The user interface is extended to allow user space to specify the filter
      mode of the MDB port group entry and its source list. Replace support is
      also added so that user space would not need to remove an entry and
      re-add it only to edit its source list or filter mode, as that would
      result in packet loss. Example usage:
      
       # bridge mdb replace dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent \
      	source_list 192.0.2.1,192.0.2.3 filter_mode exclude proto zebra
       # bridge -d -s mdb show
       dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 src 192.0.2.3 permanent filter_mode include proto zebra  blocked    0.00
       dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 src 192.0.2.1 permanent filter_mode include proto zebra  blocked    0.00
       dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent filter_mode exclude source_list 192.0.2.3/0.00,192.0.2.1/0.00 proto zebra     0.00
      
      The netlink interface is extended with a few new attributes in the
      RTM_NEWMDB request message:
      
      [ struct nlmsghdr ]
      [ struct br_port_msg ]
      [ MDBA_SET_ENTRY ]
      	struct br_mdb_entry
      [ MDBA_SET_ENTRY_ATTRS ]
      	[ MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE ]
      		struct in_addr / struct in6_addr
      	[ MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST ]		// new
      		[ MDBE_SRC_LIST_ENTRY ]
      			[ MDBE_SRCATTR_ADDRESS ]
      				struct in_addr / struct in6_addr
      		[ ...]
      	[ MDBE_ATTR_GROUP_MODE ]	// new
      		u8
      	[ MDBE_ATTR_RTPORT ]		// new
      		u8
      
      No changes are required in RTM_NEWMDB responses and notifications, as
      all the information can already be dumped by the kernel today.
      
      Testing
      =======
      
      Tested with existing bridge multicast selftests: bridge_igmp.sh,
      bridge_mdb_port_down.sh, bridge_mdb.sh, bridge_mld.sh,
      bridge_vlan_mcast.sh.
      
      In addition, added many new test cases for existing as well as for new
      MDB functionality.
      
      Patchset overview
      =================
      
      Patches #1-#8 are non-functional preparations for the core changes in
      later patches.
      
      Patches #9-#10 allow user space to install (*, G) entries with a source
      list and associated filter mode. Specifically, patch #9 adds the
      necessary kernel plumbing and patch #10 exposes the new functionality to
      user space via a few new attributes.
      
      Patch #11 allows user space to specify the routing protocol of new MDB
      port group entries so that a routing daemon could differentiate between
      entries installed by it and those installed by an administrator.
      
      Patch #12 allows user space to replace MDB port group entries. This is
      useful, for example, when user space wants to add a new source to a
      source list. Instead of deleting a (*, G) entry and re-adding it with an
      extended source list (which would result in packet loss), user space can
      simply replace the current entry.
      
      Patches #13-#14 add tests for existing MDB functionality as well as for
      all new functionality added in this patchset.
      
      Future work
      ===========
      
      The VXLAN driver will need to be extended with an MDB so that it could
      selectively forward IP multicast traffic to NVE switches with interested
      receivers instead of simply flooding it to all switches as BUM.
      
      The idea is to reuse the existing MDB interface for the VXLAN driver in
      a similar way to how the FDB interface is shared between the bridge and
      VXLAN drivers.
      
      From command line perspective, configuration will look as follows:
      
       # bridge mdb add dev br0 port vxlan0 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent \
      	filter_mode exclude source_list 198.50.100.1,198.50.100.2
      
       # bridge mdb add dev vxlan0 port vxlan0 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent \
      	filter_mode include source_list 198.50.100.3,198.50.100.4 \
      	dst 192.0.2.1 dst_port 4789 src_vni 2
      
       # bridge mdb add dev vxlan0 port vxlan0 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent \
      	filter_mode exclude source_list 198.50.100.1,198.50.100.2 \
      	dst 192.0.2.2 dst_port 4789 src_vni 2
      
      Where the first command is enabled by this set, but the next two will be
      the subject of future work.
      
      From netlink perspective, the existing PF_BRIDGE/RTM_*MDB messages will
      be extended to the VXLAN driver. This means that a few new attributes
      will be added (e.g., 'MDBE_ATTR_SRC_VNI') and that the handlers for
      these messages will need to move to net/core/rtnetlink.c. The rtnetlink
      code will call into the appropriate driver based on the ifindex
      specified in the ancillary header.
      
      iproute2 patches can be found here [9].
