This adds FDB bridge ops to the macvlan device passthru mode.
Additionally a flags field was added and a NOPROMISC bit to
allow users to use passthru mode without the driver calling
dev_set_promiscuity(). The flags field is a u16 placed in a
4 byte hole (consuming 2 bytes) of the macvlan_dev struct.
We want to do this so that the macvlan driver or stack
above the macvlan driver does not have to process every
packet. For the use case where we know all the MAC addresses
of the endstations above us this works well.
This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up
patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes.
v2: Change from distinct nopromisc mode to a flags field to
configure this. This avoids the tendency to add a new
mode every time we need some slightly different behavior.
v3: fix error in dev_set_promiscuity and add change and get
link attributes for flags.

The UTA table was being set to the functional equivalent of promiscuous
mode. This was resulting in traffic from the virtual function being
flooded onto the wire and the PF device. This resulted in additional
overhead for VF traffic sent to the network and in the case of traffic
sent to the PF or another VF resulted in unwanted packets on the wire.
This was actually not the intended behavior. Now that we can program
the embedded switch correctly we can remove this snippit of code. Users
who want to support this should configure the FDB correctly using the
FDB ops.

It is useful to be able to monitor for FDB events in user space.
This patch adds support to generate netlink events when a change
is made to a device supporting the FDB ops.
This brings embedded switches inline with the SW net/bridge which
triggers events on FDB updates as well.

This adds a generic dump routine drivers can call. It

This adds a dev_uc_add_excl() and dev_mc_add_excl() calls
similar to the original dev_{uc|mc}_add() except it sets
the global bit and returns -EEXIST for duplicat entires.
This is useful for drivers that support SR-IOV, macvlan
devices and any other devices that need to manage the
unicast and multicast lists.
v2: fix typo UNICAST should be MULTICAST in dev_mc_add_excl()

This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can
now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should
be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master'
device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge,
or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command
will be handled by the master device as well so that current user
space tools continue to work as expected.
The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the
device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed
and programmed in the embedded bridge.
Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the
command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows
user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge
in sync.
There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set
when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears
the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed
successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any
error occurs.
To support this new net device ops were added to call into
the device and the existing bridging code was refactored
to use these. There should be no required changes in user space
to support the current bridge behavior.
A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this,
veth0 veth2
| |
------------
| bridge0 | <---- software bridging
------------
/
/
ethx.y ethx
VF PF
\ \ <---- propagate FDB entries to HW
\ \
--------------------
| Embedded Bridge | <---- hardware offloaded switching
--------------------
In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0'
to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing
the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which
then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood
these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the
embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific
to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this
into the DSA framework generates similar management issues.
Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then
delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled
ixgbe driver:
# br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3
# br fdb
port mac addr flags
veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static
veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local
eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local
eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static
veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static
#br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
#br fdb
port mac addr flags
veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static
veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local
eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local
eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static
veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static
eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 local embedded
#br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all. It
is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW
bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly
the same message passing.

To prevent interrupts lost they should be dropped only if
they are scheduled via napi interfaces. In other case, there is
exists situation when napi handler process TX interrupt, stay in
RX processing and in that moment any other interrupt received.
Then before this patch TX bit in ISR will be cleaned, napi
schedule will not occur in case of currently processing event and
TX interrupt definitely will be lost.

Sending general queries was implemented as an optimisation to speed
up convergence on start-up. In order to prevent interference with
multicast routers a zero source address has to be used.
Unfortunately these packets appear to cause some multicast-aware
switches to misbehave, e.g., by disrupting multicast packets to us.
Since the multicast snooping feature still functions without sending
our own queries, this patch will change the default to not send
queries.
For those that need queries in order to speed up convergence on start-up,
a toggle is provided to restore the previous behaviour.

As it stands when we discover that a real querier (one that queries
with a non-zero source address) we stop querying. However, even
after said querier has fallen off the edge of the earth, we will
never restart querying (unless the bridge itself is restarted).
This patch fixes this by kicking our own querier into gear when
the timer for other queriers expire.

As hypervior does not have the knowledge of guest network configuration, it's
better to ask guest to send gratuitous packets when needed.
This patch implements VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE feature: hypervisor would
notice the guest when it thinks it's time for guest to announce the link
presnece. Guest tests VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE bit during config change interrupt
and woule send gratuitous packets through netif_notify_peers() and ack the
notification through ctrl vq.
We need to make sure the atomicy of read and ack in guest otherwise we may ack
more times than being notified. This is done through handling the whole config
change interrupt in an non-reentrant workqueue.

We must try harder to get unique (addr, port) pairs when
doing port autoselection for sockets with SO_REUSEADDR
option set.
We achieve this by adding a relaxation parameter to
inet_csk_bind_conflict. When 'relax' parameter is off
we return a conflict whenever the current searched
pair (addr, port) is not unique.
This tries to address the problems reported in patch:

Adds a static_key so that udp_queue_rcv_skb() doesnt have to perform a

Idea of this patch came after Simon Horman proposal to add a hook on TCP

If static_key is not yet enabled, the fast path does a single JMP .
When static_key is enabled, JMP destination is patched to reach the real
encap_type/encap_rcv logic, possibly adding cache misses.
