* net: kernel-doc compliant documentation for net_deviceKaroly Kemeny2014-07-311-131/+250
| | | | | | | | | | | | Net_device is a vast and important structure, but it has no kernel-doc compliant documentation. This patch extracts the comments from the structure to clean it up, and let the scripts extract documentation from it. I know that the patch is big, but it's just reordering of comments into the appropriate form, and adding a few more, for the missing members.

* net: use dev->name in netdev_pr* when it's availableVeaceslav Falico2014-07-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netdev_name() returns dev->name only when the net_device is in NETREG_REGISTERED state. However, dev->name is always populated on creation, so we can easily use it. There are two cases when there's no real name - when it's an empty string or when the name is in form of "eth%d", then netdev_name() returns "unnamed net_device". CC: "David S.

* net: add name_assign_type netdev attributeTom Gundersen2014-07-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

VF is guaranteed to have a bandwidth of at least this value. max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth of up to this value. o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced which takes 4 arguments: netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler. o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet implemented by driver. o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then, userland should read back the other value from driver and set both for IFLA_VF_RATE. Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool. o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then IFLA_VF_RATE should override. o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user. o Usage example: - ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5a, tx rate 900 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 900Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 max_tx_rate 300 min_tx_rate 200 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5a, tx rate 300 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 300Mbps, min_tx_rate 200Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 max_tx_rate 600 rate 300 ./ip link show p4p1 32: p4p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:1e:08:b0:f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 3e:a0:ca:bd:ae:5, tx rate 600 (Mbps), max_tx_rate 600Mbps, min_tx_rate 200Mbps vf 1 MAC f6:c6:7c:3f:3d:6c vf 2 MAC 56:32:43:98:d7:71 vf 3 MAC d6:be:c3:b5:85:ff vf 4 MAC ee:a9:9a:1e:19:14 vf 5 MAC 4a:d0:4c:07:52:18 vf 6 MAC 3a:76:44:93:62:f9 vf 7 MAC 82:e9:e7:e3:15:1a Signed-off-by: Sucheta Chakraborty <sucheta.chakraborty@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When combining real_dev's features and vlan_features, simple bitwise AND is used. This doesn't work well for checksum offloading features as if one set has NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and the other NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and/or NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, we end up with no checksum offloading. However, from the logical point of view (how can_checksum_protocol() works), NETIF_F_HW_CSUM contains the functionality of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM so that the result should be IP/IPV6.

Since the above commit, the code can still detect a device stacked on top of single vlan, but not a device stacked on top of Q-in-Q configuration. The search will only set the inner vlan tag if the route device is the vlan device. However, this is not always the case, as it is possible to extend the stacked configuration. With this patch it is possible to provision devices on top Q-in-Q vlan configuration that should be used as a source of ARP monitoring information. For example: ip link add link bond0 vlan10 type vlan proto 802.1q id 10 ip link add link vlan10 vlan100 type vlan proto 802.1q id 100 ip link add link vlan100 type macvlan Note: This patch limites the number of stacked VLANs to 2, just like before. The original, however had another issue in that if we had more then 2 levels of VLANs, we would end up generating incorrectly tagged traffic. This is no longer possible.

This patch provides a generic function that determines a nesting level of a particular device by its type (ex: vlan, macvlan, etc). We only care about nesting of the same type of devices. For example: eth0 <- vlan0.10 <- macvlan0 <- vlan1.20 The nesting level of vlan1.20 would be 1, since there is another vlan in the stack under it.

* packet: fix packet_direct_xmit for BQL enabled driversDaniel Borkmann2014-04-031-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, in packet_direct_xmit() we test the assigned netdevice queue for netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() before doing an ndo_start_xmit(). This can have the side-effect that BQL enabled drivers which make use of netdev_tx_sent_queue() internally, set __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF from within the stack and would not fully fill the device's TX ring from packet sockets with PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS enabled. Instead, use a test without BQL bit so that bursts can be absorbed into the NICs TX ring. Fix and code suggested by Eric Dumazet, thanks!

* net-gro: restore frag0 optimizationEric Dumazet2014-03-311-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Main difference between napi_frags_skb() and napi_gro_receive() is that the later is called while ethernet header was already pulled by the NIC driver (eth_type_trans() was called before napi_gro_receive()) Jerry Chu in commit 299603e8370a ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") tried to remove this difference by calling eth_type_trans() from napi_frags_skb() instead of doing this later from napi_frags_finish() Goal was that napi_gro_complete() could call ptype->callbacks.gro_complete(skb, 0) (offset of first network header = 0) Also, xxx_gro_receive() handlers all use off = skb_gro_offset(skb) to point to their own header, for the current skb and ones held in gro_list Problem is this cleanup work defeated the frag0 optimization: It turns out the consecutive pskb_may_pull() calls are too expensive. This patch brings back the frag0 stuff in napi_frags_skb(). As all skb have their mac header in skb head, we no longer need skb_gro_mac_header() Reported-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Fixes: 299603e8370a ("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Jerry Chu <hkchu@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan headers that may be present in the skb. However, skb_mac_gso_segment() doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len is set correctly to skip all mac headers. That may not always be the case. If we are simply forwarding the packet (via bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for. A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return the vlan depth it has calculated. This way skb_mac_gso_segment will correctly skip all mac headers.

If no locks needed to trasnmit a packet this is the ideal scenario for netpoll as all packets can be trasnmitted immediately. Even if some locks are needed in ndo_start_xmit skipping any unnecessary serialization is desirable for netpoll as it makes it more likely a debugging packet may be trasnmitted immediately instead of being deferred until later.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it.

| * net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwardingJason Wang2014-01-101-4/+8

The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.
