      vxlan: Group Policy extension · 3511494c
      Thomas Graf authored
      Implements supports for the Group Policy VXLAN extension [0] to provide
      a lightweight and simple security label mechanism across network peers
      based on VXLAN. The security context and associated metadata is mapped
      to/from skb->mark. This allows further mapping to a SELinux context
      using SECMARK, to implement ACLs directly with nftables, iptables, OVS,
      tc, etc.
      
      The group membership is defined by the lower 16 bits of skb->mark, the
      upper 16 bits are used for flags.
      
      SELinux allows to manage label to secure local resources. However,
      distributed applications require ACLs to implemented across hosts. This
      is typically achieved by matching on L2-L4 fields to identify the
      original sending host and process on the receiver. On top of that,
      netlabel and specifically CIPSO [1] allow to map security contexts to
      universal labels.  However, netlabel and CIPSO are relatively complex.
      This patch provides a lightweight alternative for overlay network
      environments with a trusted underlay. No additional control protocol
      is required.

      Backwards compatibility:
      A VXLAN-GBP socket can receive standard VXLAN frames and will assign
      the default group 0x0000 to such frames. A Linux VXLAN socket will
      drop VXLAN-GBP  frames. The extension is therefore disabled by default
      and needs to be specifically enabled:
      
         ip link add [...] type vxlan [...] gbp
      
      In a mixed environment with VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP sockets, the GBP socket
      must run on a separate port number.
      
      Examples:
       iptables:
        host1# iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner 101 -j MARK --set-mark 0x200
        host2# iptables -I INPUT -m mark --mark 0x200 -j DROP
      
       OVS:
        # ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'in_port=1,actions=load:0x200->NXM_NX_TUN_GBP_ID[],NORMAL'
        # ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'in_port=2,tun_gbp_id=0x200,actions=drop'

      Prashant Sreedharan authored
      Currently tg3_reset_task() uses only tp->lock for synchronizing with code
      paths like tg3_open() etc. But since tp->lock is released before doing
      synchronize_irq(), rtnl_lock should be taken in tg3_reset_task() to
      synchronize it with other code paths.

      team: avoid possible underflow of count_pending value for notify_peers and mcast_rejoin · b0d11b42
      Jiri Pirko authored
      This patch is fixing a race condition that may cause setting
      count_pending to -1, which results in unwanted big bulk of arp messages
      (in case of "notify peers").
      
      Consider following scenario:
      
      count_pending == 2
         CPU0                                           CPU1
      					team_notify_peers_work
      					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
      					  schedule_delayed_work
       team_notify_peers
         atomic_add (adding 1 to count_pending)
      					team_notify_peers_work
      					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
      					  schedule_delayed_work
      					team_notify_peers_work
      					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 0)
         schedule_delayed_work
      					team_notify_peers_work
      					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to -1)
      
      Fix this race by using atomic_dec_if_positive - that will prevent
      count_pending running under 0.

      openvswitch: packet messages need their own probe attribtue · 1ba39804
      Thomas Graf authored
      User space is currently sending a OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE for both flow
      and packet messages. This leads to an out-of-bounds access in
      ovs_packet_cmd_execute() because OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE >
      OVS_PACKET_ATTR_MAX.
      
      Introduce a new OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PROBE with the same numeric value
      as OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE to grow the range of accepted packet attributes
      while maintaining to be binary compatible with existing OVS binaries.

      ====================
      net: Remote checksum offload for VXLAN
      
      This patch set adds support for remote checksum offload in VXLAN.
      
      The remote checksum offload is generalized by creating a common
      function (remcsum_adjust) that does the work of modifying the
      checksum in remote checksum offload. This function can be called
      from normal or GRO path. GUE was modified to use this function.
      
      To support RCO is VXLAN we use the 9th bit in the reserved
      flags to indicated remote checksum offload. The start and offset
      values are encoded n a compressed form in the low order (reserved)
      byte of the vni field.
      
      Remote checksum offload is described in
      https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01
      
      Changes in v2:
        - Add udp_offload_callbacks which has GRO functions that take a
          udp_offload pointer argument. This argument can be used to retrieve
          a per port structure of the encapsulation for use in gro processing
          (mostly by doing container_of on the structure).
        - Use the 10th bit in VXLAN flags for RCO which does not seem to
          conflict with other proposals at this time (ie. VXLAN-GPE and
          VXLAN-GPB)
        - Require that RCO must be explicitly enabled on the receiver
          as well as the sender.
      
      Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections with VXLAN (over IPv4).

      vxlan: Remote checksum offload · dfd8645e
      Tom Herbert authored
      Add support for remote checksum offload in VXLAN. This uses a
      reserved bit to indicate that RCO is being done, and uses the low order
      reserved eight bits of the VNI to hold the start and offset values in a
      compressed manner.
      
      Start is encoded in the low order seven bits of VNI. This is start >> 1
      so that the checksum start offset is 0-254 using even values only.
      Checksum offset (transport checksum field) is indicated in the high
      order bit in the low order byte of the VNI. If the bit is set, the
      checksum field is for UDP (so offset = start + 6), else checksum
      field is for TCP (so offset = start + 16). Only TCP and UDP are
      supported in this implementation.
      
      Remote checksum offload for VXLAN is described in:
      
      https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-vxlan-rco-00
      
      Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections with VXLAN (over IPv4).

      udp: pass udp_offload struct to UDP gro callbacks · a2b12f3c
      Tom Herbert authored
      This patch introduces udp_offload_callbacks which has the same
      GRO functions (but not a GSO function) as offload_callbacks,
      except there is an argument to a udp_offload struct passed to
      gro_receive and gro_complete functions. This additional argument
      can be used to retrieve the per port structure of the encapsulation
      for use in gro processing (mostly by doing container_of on the
      structure).

      bridge: only provide proxy ARP when CONFIG_INET is enabled · d92cfdbb
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      When IPV4 support is disabled, we cannot call arp_send from
      the bridge code, which would result in a kernel link error:
      
      net/built-in.o: In function `br_handle_frame_finish':
      :(.text+0x59914): undefined reference to `arp_send'
      :(.text+0x59a50): undefined reference to `arp_tbl'
      
      This makes the newly added proxy ARP support in the bridge
      code depend on the CONFIG_INET symbol and lets the compiler
      optimize the code out to avoid the link error.

      v12:
      - According Alex's suggestion, modify the changelog and add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
        for hip04 ethernet.
      
      v11:
      - Add ethtool support for tx coalecse getting and setting, the xmit_more
        is not supported for this patch, but I think it could work for hip04,
        will support it later after some tests for performance better.
      
        Here are some performance test results by ping and iperf(add tx_coalesce_frames/users),
        it looks that the performance and latency is more better by tx_coalesce_frames/usecs.
      
        - Before:
          $ ping 192.168.1.1 ...
          === 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ===

          [  3]  0.0- 1.0 sec   115 MBytes   965 Mbits/sec
      
      v10:
      - According Arnd's suggestion, remove the skb_orphan and use the hrtimer
        for the cleanup of the TX queue and add some modification for the hip04
        drivers.
        1) drop the broken skb_orphan call
        2) drop the workqueue
        3) batch cleanup based on tx_coalesce_frames/usecs for better throughput
        4) use a reasonable default tx timeout (200us, could be shorted
           based on measurements) with a range timer
        5) fix napi poll function return value
        6) use a lockless queue for cleanup
      
      v9:
      - There is no tx completion interrupts to free DMAd Tx packets, it means taht
        we rely on new tx packets arriving to run the destructors of completed packets,
        which open up space in their sockets's send queues. Sometimes we don't get such
        new packets causing Tx to stall, a single UDP transmitter is a good example of
        this situation, so we need a clean up workqueue to reclaims completed packets,
        the workqueue will only free the last packets which is already stay for several jiffies.
        Also fix some format cleanups.
      
      v8:
      - Use poll to reclaim xmitted buffer as workaround since no tx done interrupt
      
      v7:
      - Remove select NET_CORE in 0002
      
      v6:
      - Suggest by Russell: Use netdev_sent_queue & netdev_completed_queue to solve latency issue
        Also shorten the period of timer, which is used to wakeup the queue since no
        tx completed interrupt.
      
      v5:
      - no big change, fix typo
      
      v4:
      - Modify accoringly to the suggetion from Arnd, Florian, Eric, David
        Use of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args & syscon_node_to_regmap get ppe info
        Add skb_orphan() and tx_timer for reclaim since no tx_finished interrupt
        Update timeout, and move of_phy_connect to probe to reuse open/stop
      
      v3:
      - Suggest from Arnd, use syscon & regmap_write/read to replace static void __iomem *ppebase.
        Modify hisilicon-hip04-net.txt accrordingly to suggestion from Florian and Sergei.
      
      v2:
      - Got many suggestions from Russell, Arnd, Florian, Mark and Sergei
        Remove memcpy, use dma_map/unmap_single, use dma_alloc_coherent rather than dma_pool, etc.
        Refer property in ethernet.txt, change ppe description, etc.

      neighbour: fix base_reachable_time(_ms) not effective immediatly when changed · 4bf6980d
      Jean-Francois Remy authored
      When setting base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms on a
      specific interface through sysctl or netlink, the reachable_time
      value is not updated.
      
      This means that neighbour entries will continue to be updated using the
      old value until it is recomputed in neigh_period_work (which
          recomputes the value every 300*HZ).
      On systems with HZ equal to 1000 for instance, it means 5mins before
      the change is effective.
      
      This patch changes this behavior by recomputing reachable_time after
      each set on base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms.
      The new value will become effective the next time the neighbour's timer
      is triggered.
      
      Changes are made in two places: the netlink code for set and the sysctl
      handling code. For sysctl, I use a proc_handler. The ipv6 network
      code does provide its own handler but it already refreshes
      reachable_time correctly so it's not an issue.
      Any other user of neighbour which provide its own handlers must
      refresh reachable_time.

      net: fec: fix MDIO bus assignement for dual fec SoC's · 3d125f9c
      Stefan Agner authored
      On i.MX28, the MDIO bus is shared between the two FEC instances.
      The driver makes sure that the second FEC uses the MDIO bus of the
      first FEC. This is done conditionally if FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC is set.
      However, in newer designs, such as Vybrid or i.MX6SX, each FEC MAC
      has its own MDIO bus. Simply removing the quirk FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC
      is not an option since other logic, triggered by this quirk, is
      still needed.
      
      Furthermore, there are board designs which use the same MDIO bus
      for both PHY's even though the second bus would be available on the
      SoC side. Such layout are popular since it saves pins on SoC side.
      Due to the above quirk, those boards currently do work fine. The
      boards in the mainline tree with such a layout are:
      - Freescale Vybrid Tower with TWR-SER2 (vf610-twr.dts)
      - Freescale i.MX6 SoloX SDB Board (imx6sx-sdb.dts)
      
      This patch adds a new quirk FEC_QUIRK_SINGLE_MDIO for i.MX28, which
      makes sure that the MDIO bus of the first FEC is used in any case.
      
      However, the boards above do have a SoC with a MDIO bus for each FEC
      instance. But the PHY's are not connected in a 1:1 configuration. A
      proper device tree description is needed to allow the driver to
      figure out where to find its PHY. This patch fixes that shortcoming
      by adding a MDIO bus child node to the first FEC instance, along
      with the two PHY's on that bus, and making use of the phy-handle
      property to add a reference to the PHY's.

      xen: add page_to_mfn() · 28e98c2c
      David Vrabel authored
      pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(p)) is a common use case so add a generic
      helper for it.

      rhashtable: Lower/upper bucket may map to same lock while shrinking · 80ca8c3a
      Thomas Graf authored
      Each per bucket lock covers a configurable number of buckets. While
      shrinking, two buckets in the old table contain entries for a single
      bucket in the new table. We need to lock down both while linking.
      Check if they are protected by different locks to avoid a recursive
      lock.
      
      Fixes: 97defe1e ("rhashtable: Per bucket locks & deferred expansion/shrinking")
