Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-02-03 This series contains updates to i40e/i40evf only. Jake fixes up the driver to not call i40e_vsi_kill_vlan() or i40e_vsi_add_vlan() when the PVID is set or when the VID is less than 1. Cleaned up a check which really is not needed since there is no real reason why we cannot just call i40e_del_mac_all_vlan() directly. Renamed functions to better reflect their actual purpose and how they function in a more clear manner. Bimmy cleans up unused/deprecated macros. Mitch cleans up unused device ids which were intended for use when running Linux VF drivers under Hyper-V, but found to be not needed. Then cleaned up a function that is no longer needed since the client open and close functions were refactored. Adds a sleep without timeout until the reply from the PF driver has been received since the iWARP client cannot continue until the operation has been completed. Tushar Dave fixes an issue seen on SPARC where the use of the 'packed' directive was causing kernel unaligned errors. Alex does a refactor to pull some data off of the stack and store it in the transmit buffer info section of the transmit ring. Alan fixes a bug which was caused by passing a bad register value to the firmware, by refactoring the macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG into a static inline function. Also added feedback to the user as to the actual interrupt rate limit being used when it differs from the requested limit. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, they are: 1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal. 2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user() as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace. 3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces. Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued, let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek. 4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti. 5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal. 6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian. 7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and nft_meta, from Liping Zhang. 8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when used by the netdev family, also from Liping. 9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng. 10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however, results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t type, from David Windsor. 11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp, from Davide Caratti. 12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang. 13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The patchset contains patches to allow work with flexible keys and actions which are used in Spectrum TCAM. It also contains in-driver infrastructure for offloading TC rules to TCAM HW. The TCAM management code is simple and limited for now. It is going to be extended as a follow-up work. The last patch uses the previously introduced infra to allow to implement cls_flower offloading. Initially, only limited set of match-keys and only a drop and forward actions are supported.

Add ACL core infrastructure for Spectrum ASIC. This infra provides an abstraction layer over specific HW implementations. There are two basic objects used. One is "rule" and the second is "ruleset" which serves as a container of multiple rules. In general, within one ruleset the rules are allowed to have multiple priorities and masks. Each ruleset is bound to either ingress or egress a of port netdevice. The initial TCAM implementation is very simple and limited. It utilizes parman lsort manager to take care of TCAM region layout.

Hardware supports matching on so called "flexible keys". The idea is to assemble an optimal key to use for matching according to the fields in packet (elements) requested by user. Certain sets of elements are combined into pre-defined blocks. There is a picker to find needed blocks. Keys consist of 1..n blocks. Alongside with that, an initial portion of elements is introduced in order to be able to offload basic cls_flower rules. Picked keys are cached so multiple rules could share them. There is an encode function provided that takes care of encoding key and mask values according to given key.

Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem : I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback. This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket, however the receiving side is a user space application so does not have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same reason. It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense on the receive path.

Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== bridge: per vlan dst_metadata support High level summary: lwt and dst_metadata have enabled vxlan l3 deployments to use a single vxlan netdev for multiple vnis eliminating the scalability problem with using a single vxlan netdev per vni. This series tries to do the same for vxlan netdevs in pure l2 bridged networks. Use-case/deployment and details are below. Deployment scerario details: As we know VXLAN is used to build layer 2 virtual networks across the underlay layer3 infrastructure. A VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP) originates and terminates VXLAN tunnels. And a VTEP can be a TOR switch or a vswitch in the hypervisor. This patch series mainly focuses on the TOR switch configured as a Vtep. Vxlan segment ID (vni) along with vlan id is used to identify layer 2 segments in a vxlan overlay network. Vxlan bridging is the function provided by Vteps to terminate vxlan tunnels and map the vxlan vni to traditional end host vlan. This is covered in the "VXLAN Deployment Scenarios" in sections 6 and 6.1 in RFC 7348. To provide vxlan bridging function, a vtep has to map vlan to a vni. The rfc says that the ingress VTEP device shall remove the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in the original Layer 2 packet if there is one before encapsulating the packet into the VXLAN format to transmit it through the underlay network. The remote VTEP devices have information about the VLAN in which the packet will be placed based on their own VLAN-to-VXLAN VNI mapping configurations. Existing solution: Without this patch series one can deploy such a vtep configuration by adding the local ports and vxlan netdevs into a vlan filtering bridge. The local ports are configured as trunk ports carrying all vlans. A vxlan netdev per vni is added to the bridge. Vlan mapping to vni is achieved by configuring the vlan as pvid on the corresponding vxlan netdev. The vxlan netdev only receives traffic corresponding to the vlan it is mapped to. This configuration maps traffic belonging to a vlan to the corresponding vxlan segment. ----------------------------------- | bridge | | | ----------------------------------- |100,200 |100 (pvid) |200 (pvid) | | | swp1 vxlan1000 vxlan2000 This provides the required vxlan bridging function but poses a scalability problem with using a separate vxlan netdev for each vni. Solution in this patch series: The Goal is to use a single vxlan device to carry all vnis similar to the vxlan collect metadata mode but additionally allowing the bridge and vxlan driver to carry all the forwarding information and also learn. This implementation uses the existing dst_metadata infrastructure to map vlan to a tunnel id. - vxlan driver changes: - enable collect metadata mode to be used with learning, replication and fdb - A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni) - rx path already has the vni - tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata and relies on learnt or static forwarding information table to forward the packet - Bridge driver changes: per vlan dst_metadata support: - Our use case is vxlan and 1-1 mapping between vlan and vni, but I have kept the api generic for any tunnel info - Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data - new bridge port flag to turn this feature on/off. off by default - ingress hook: - if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info in attached dst_metadata to map it to a local vlan - egress hook: - if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info attached to vlan to set dst_metadata on the skb Other approaches tried and vetoed: - tc vlan push/pop and tunnel metadata dst: - though tc can be used to do part of this, these patches address a deployment case where bridge driver vlan filtering and forwarding information database along with vxlan driver forwarding information table and learning are required. - making vxlan driver understand vlan-vni mapping: - I had a series almost ready with this one but soon realized it duplicated a lot of vlan handling code in the vxlan driver ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure. The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic to extend to any tunnel_info in the future: - Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data - netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping - Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default. - changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code - I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files. - most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable. Use case: example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show relevant fdb entries): example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001 before (netdev per vni): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self CC: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vxlan COLLECT_METADATA mode today solves the per-vni netdev scalability problem in l3 networks. It expects all forwarding information to be present in dst_metadata. This patch series enhances collect metadata mode to include the case where only vni is present in dst_metadata, and the vxlan driver can then use the rest of the forwarding information datbase to make forwarding decisions. There is no change to default COLLECT_METADATA behaviour. These changes only apply to COLLECT_METADATA when used with the bridging use-case with a special dst_metadata tunnel info flag (eg: where vxlan device is part of a bridge). For all this to work, the vxlan driver will need to now support a single fdb table hashed by mac + vni. This series essentially makes this happen. use-case and workflow: vxlan collect metadata device participates in bridging vlan to vn-segments. Bridge driver above the vxlan device, sends the vni corresponding to the vlan in the dst_metadata. vxlan driver will lookup forwarding database with (mac + vni) for the required remote destination information to forward the packet. Changes introduced by this patch: - allow learning and forwarding database state in vxlan netdev in COLLECT_METADATA mode. Current behaviour is not changed by default. tunnel info flag IP_TUNNEL_INFO_BRIDGE is used to support the new bridge friendly mode. - A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni) to allow fdb entries with multiple vnis in the same fdb table - rx path already has the vni - tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata - prior to this series, fdb remote_dsts carried remote vni and the vxlan device carrying the fdb table represented the source vni. With the vxlan device now representing multiple vnis, this patch adds a src vni attribute to the fdb entry. The remote vni already uses NDA_VNI attribute. This patch introduces NDA_SRC_VNI netlink attribute to represent the src vni in a multi vni fdb table. iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show relevant fdb entries): example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's. before (netdev per vni): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self after this patch with collect metadata in bridged mode (single netdev): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
