David Ahern says: ==================== net: vrf: Fix ipv6 source address selection IPv6 address selection is currently messed up for several use cases such as unnumbered deployments with global addresses on the VRF device and none on the enslaved devices. Update the source address selection to consider the real output route as opposed to the VRF route that sends packets to the VRF device first (ie., implement get_saddr6 similar to the IPv4 method) and update the IPv6 address selection to consider L3 domains and preference for addresses on the VRF device). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

IPv6 version of 3f2fb9a8 ("net: l3mdev: address selection should only consider devices in L3 domain") and the follow up commit, a17b693cdd876 ("net: l3mdev: prefer VRF master for source address selection"). That is, if outbound device is given then the address preference order is an address from that device, an address from the master device if it is enslaved, and then an address from a device in the same L3 domain.

IPv6 source address selection needs to consider the real egress route. Similar to IPv4 implement a get_saddr6 method which is called if source address has not been set. The get_saddr6 method does a full lookup which means pulling a route from the VRF FIB table and properly considering linklocal/multicast destination addresses. Lookup failures (eg., unreachable) then cause the source address selection to fail which gets propagated back to the caller.

VRF driver needs access to ip6_route_get_saddr code. Since it does little beyond ipv6_dev_get_saddr and ipv6_dev_get_saddr is already exported for modules move ip6_route_get_saddr to the header as an inline. Code move only; no functional change.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Future-proof tunnel offload handlers These patches are meant to address two things. First we are currently using the ndo_add/del_vxlan_port calls with VXLAN-GPE tunnels and we cannot really support that as it is likely to cause more harm than good since VXLAN-GPE can support tunnels without a MAC address on the inner header. As such we need to add a new offload to advertise this, but in doing so it would mean introducing 3 new functions for the driver to request the ports, and then for the tunnel to push the changes to add and delete the ports to the device. However instead of taking that approach I think it would be much better if we just made one common function for fetching the ports, and provided a generic means to push the tunnels to the device. So in order to make this work this patch set does several things. First it merges the existing VXLAN and GENEVE functionality into one set of functions and passes an enum in order to specify the type of tunnel we want to offload. By doing this we only have to extend this enum in the future if we want to add additional types. Second it goes through the drivers replacing all of the tunnel specific offload calls with implementations that support the generic calls so that we can drop the VXLAN and GENEVE specific calls entirely. Finally I go through in the last patch and replace the VXLAN specific offload request that was being used for VXLAN-GPE with one that specifies if we want to offload VXLAN or VXLAN-GPE so that the hardware can decide if it can actually support it or not. I also ended up with some minor clean-up built into the driver patches for this. Most of it is to either fix misuse of build flags, specifying a type to ignore instead of the type that should be used, or in the case of ixgbe I actually moved a rtnl_lock/unlock in order to avoid taking it unless it was actually needed. v2: I did my best to remove the word "offload" from any of the calls or notifiers as this isn't really an offload. It is a workaround for the fact that the drivers don't provide basic features like CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. I also added a disclaimer to the section defining the function prototypes explaining that these are essentially workarounds. I ended up going through and stripping all of the VXLAN and GENEVE build flags from the drivers. There isn't much point in carrying them. In addition I dropped the use of the vxlan.h or geneve.h header files in favor of udp_tunnel.h in the cases where a driver didn't need anything from either of those headers. I updated the tunnel add/del functions so that they pass a udp_tunnel_info structure instead of a list of arguments. This way we should be able to add additional information in the future with little impact on the other drivers. I updated bnxt so that it doesn't use a hard-coded port number for GENEVE. I have been able to test mlx4e, mlx5e, and i40e and verified functionality on these drivers. Though there are patches for the net tree I submitted due to unrelated bugs I found in the mlx4e and i40e/i40evf drivers. v3: Fixed a typo that caused us to add geneve port when we should have been deleting it. Ended up dropping geneve and vxlan wrappers for udp_tunnel_notify_rx_add/del_port and instead just called them directly. Updated comments for functions to call out RTNL instead of port lock. Updated patch description to remove changes that were moved into a second patch. Rebased on latest net-next to fix merge conflict on bnxt driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The fact is VXLAN with Generic Protocol Extensions cannot be supported by the same hardware parsers that support VXLAN. The protocol extensions allow for things like a Next Protocol field which in turn allows for things other than Ethernet to be passed over the tunnel. Most existing parsers will not know how to interpret this. To resolve this I am giving VXLAN-GPE its own UDP encapsulation offload type. This way hardware that does support GPE can simply add this type to the switch statement for VXLAN, and if they don't support it then this will fix any issues where headers might be interpreted incorrectly.

This patch merges the notifiers for VXLAN and GENEVE into a single UDP tunnel notifier. The idea is that we will want to only have to make one notifier call to receive the list of ports for VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels that need to be offloaded. In addition we add a new set of ndo functions named ndo_udp_tunnel_add and ndo_udp_tunnel_del that are meant to allow us to track the tunnel meta-data such as port and address family as tunnels are added and removed. The tunnel meta-data is now transported in a structure named udp_tunnel_info which for now carries the type, address family, and port number. In the future this could be updated so that we can include a tuple of values including things such as the destination IP address and other fields. I also ended up going with a naming scheme that consisted of using the prefix udp_tunnel on function names. I applied this to the notifier and ndo ops as well so that it hopefully points to the fact that these are primarily used in the udp_tunnel functions.

This patch makes it so that we add udp_tunnel.h to vxlan.h and geneve.h header files. This is useful as I plan to move the generic handlers for the port offloads into the udp_tunnel header file and leave the vxlan and geneve headers to be a bit more protocol specific. I also went through and cleaned out a number of redundant includes that where in the .h and .c files for these drivers.

Shrikrishna Khare says: ==================== vmxnet3: upgrade to version 3 vmxnet3 emulation has recently added several new features which includes support for new commands the driver can issue to emulation, change in descriptor fields etc. This patch series extends the vmxnet3 driver to leverage these new features. Compatibility is maintained using existing vmxnet3 versioning mechanism as follows: - new features added to vmxnet3 emulation are associated with new vmxnet3 version viz. vmxnet3 version 3. - emulation advertises all the versions it supports to the driver. - during initialization, vmxnet3 driver picks the highest version number supported by both the emulation and the driver and configures emulation to run at that version. In particular, following changes are introduced: Patch 1: Some command definitions from previous vmxnet3 versions are missing. This patch adds those definitions before moving to vmxnet3 version 3. It also fixes copyright info and maintained by. Patch 2: This patch introduces generalized command interface which allows for easily adding new commands that vmxnet3 driver can issue to the emulation. Further patches in this series make use of this facility. Patch 3: Transmit data ring buffer is used to copy packet headers or small packets. It is a fixed size buffer. This patch extends the driver to allow variable sized transmit data ring buffer. Patch 4: This patch introduces receive data ring buffer - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. This avoids memory mapping/unmapping overhead for small packets. Patch 5: The vmxnet3 emulation supports a variety of coalescing modes. This patch extends vmxnet3 driver to allow querying and configuring these modes. Patch 6: In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use for rx/tx buffers. This patch exposes related commands to the driver. Patch 7: With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver, with this patch, the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3 version 3. Changes in v2: - v1 patch used special values of rx-usecs to differentiate between coalescing modes. v2 uses relevant fields in struct ethtool_coalesce to choose modes. Also, a new command VMXNET3_CMD_GET_COALESCE is introduced which allows driver to query the device for default coalescing configuration. Changes in v3: - fix subject line to use vmxnet3: instead of Driver:Vmxnet3 - resubmit when net-next is open Changes in v4: - Address code review comments by Ben Hutchings: remove unnecessary memset from vmxnet3_get_coalesce. Changes in v5: - Updated all the patches to add detailed commit messages. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use for rx/tx buffers. The driver can also indicate which rx/tx queue the memory region is applicable for. If this information is communicated to the emulation, the emulation will always keep these memory regions mapped, thereby avoiding the mapping/unmapping overhead for every packet. Currently, Linux vmxnet3 driver does not leverage this capability. The feasibility of using this approach for the Linux vmxnet3 driver will be investigated independently and if possible, will be part of a different patch. This patch only exposes the emulation capability to the driver (vmxnet3_defs.h is identical between the driver and the emulation).

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it. To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used. Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini Signed-off-by: Shrikrishna Khare <skhare@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Shared memory is used to exchange information between the vmxnet3 driver and the emulation. In order to request emulation to perform a task, the driver first populates specific fields in this shared memory and then issues corresponding command by writing to the command register(CMD). The layout of the shared memory was defined by vmxnet3 version 1 and cannot be extended for every new command without breaking backward compatibility. To address this problem, in vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation repurposed a reserved field in the shared memory to represent command information instead. For new commands, the driver first populates the command information field in the shared memory and then issues the command. The emulation interprets the data written to the command information depending on the type of the command. This patch exposes this capability to the driver.

The function set_features is called to configure network device features on the hardware. If errors occur, the network device features should reflect the changed hardware state and the function should return an error in order to notify the user. In case of an error, the current implementation does not necessarily save the changed hardware state in the network device features before an error is returned. This patch improves error handling by saving features, that could be changed, to the network device features before returning an error. If the device is not running, an additional check in fix_features removes features, that require hardware changes, before they are passed to set_features. Thus, the corresponding check was removed in set_features. Signed-off-by: Hans Wippel <hwippel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Network device features indicate the capabilities of network devices (e.g., TX checksum offloading and TSO) and their configuration state. Additional network device features (vlan_features) indicate for each network device, which capabilities can be used on VLAN devices, that are configured on the respective base network device. In the current qeth implementation, network device features are only set for the base network devices and not for the VLAN devices. Thus, features like TX checksum offloading cannot be used on VLAN devices. This patch adds network device features to vlan_features, so they can be used by VLAN devices.
