The mirrored packets arrive at $h3 encapsulated in GRE/IPv4, with IP address from 192.0.2.128/28 network. However the interface is configured as a member of 192.0.2.160/28 and there's no route directing traffic from the former network through that interface. Correspondingly, the RP filter on the VRF rejects it. Therefore turn off the VRF's RP filter. Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <petrm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: ERSPAN: Take LACP state into consideration Petr says: When offloading mirror-to-gretap, mlxsw needs to preroute the path that the encapsulated packet will take. That path may include a LAG device above a front panel port. So far, mlxsw resolved the path to the first up front panel slave of the LAG interface, but that only reflects administrative state of the port. It neglects to consider whether the port actually has a carrier, and what the LACP state is. This patch set aims to address these problems. Patch #1 publishes team_port_get_rcu(). Then in patch #2, a new function is introduced, mlxsw_sp_port_dev_check(). That returns, for a given netdevice that is a slave of a LAG device, whether that device is "txable", i.e. whether the LAG master would send traffic through it. Since there's no good place to put LAG-wide helpers, introduce a new header include/net/lag.h. Finally in patch #3, fix the slave selection logic to take into consideration whether a given slave has a carrier and whether it is txable. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

LAG devices (team or bond) recognize for each one of their slave devices whether LAG traffic is going to be sent through that device. Bond calls such devices "active", team calls them "txable". When this state changes, a NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE notification is distributed, together with a netdev_notifier_changelowerstate_info structure that for LAG devices includes a tx_enabled flag that refers to the new state. The notification thus makes it possible to react to the changes in txability in drivers. However there's no way to query txability from the outside on demand. That is problematic namely for mlxsw, which when resolving ERSPAN packet path, may encounter a LAG device, and needs to determine which of the slaves it should choose. To that end, introduce a new function, net_lag_port_dev_txable(), which determines whether a given slave device is "active" or "txable" (depending on the flavor of the LAG device). That function then dispatches to per-LAG-flavor helpers, bond_is_active_slave_dev() resp. team_port_dev_txable(). Because there currently is no good place where net_lag_port_dev_txable() should be added, introduce a new header file, lag.h, which should from now on hold any logic common to both team and bond. (But keep netif_is_lag_master() together with the rest of netif_is_*_master() functions).

A follow-up patch adds a new entry point, team_port_dev_txable(). Making it an ordinary exported function would mean that any module that may need the service in one of the supported configurations also unconditionally needs to pull in the team module, whether or not the user actually intends to create team interfaces. To prevent that, team_port_dev_txable() is defined in if_team.h, and therefore all dependencies of that function also need to be publicly-visible. Therefore move team_port_get_rcu() from team.c to if_team.h.

Jon Maloy authored
In some virtual environments we observe a significant higher number of packet reordering and delays than we have been used to traditionally. This makes it necessary with stricter checks on incoming link protocol messages' session number, which until now only has been validated for RESET messages. Since the other two message types, ACTIVATE and STATE messages also carry this number, it is easy to extend the validation check to those messages. We also introduce a flag indicating if a link has a valid peer session number or not. This eliminates the mixing of 32- and 16-bit arithmethics we are currently using to achieve this.

Some switch infrastructures produce huge amounts of packet duplicates. This becomes a problem if those messages are STATE/NACK protocol messages, causing unnecessary retransmissions of already accepted packets. We now introduce a unique sequence number per STATE protocol message so that duplicates can be identified and ignored. This will also be useful when tracing such cases, and to avert replay attacks when TIPC is encrypted. For compatibility reasons we have to introduce a new capability flag TIPC_LINK_PROTO_SEQNO to handle this new feature. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== L2 Fwd Offload & 10GbE Intel Driver Updates 2018-07-09 This patch series is meant to allow support for the L2 forward offload, aka MACVLAN offload without the need for using ndo_select_queue. The existing solution currently requires that we use ndo_select_queue in the transmit path if we want to associate specific Tx queues with a given MACVLAN interface. In order to get away from this we need to repurpose the tc_to_txq array and XPS pointer for the MACVLAN interface and use those as a means of accessing the queues on the lower device. As a result we cannot offload a device that is configured as multiqueue, however it doesn't really make sense to configure a macvlan interfaced as being multiqueue anyway since it doesn't really have a qdisc of its own in the first place. The big changes in this set are: Allow lower device to update tc_to_txq and XPS map of offloaded MACVLAN Disable XPS for single queue devices Replace accel_priv with sb_dev in ndo_select_queue Add sb_dev parameter to fallback function for ndo_select_queue Consolidated ndo_select_queue functions that appeared to be duplicates ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() has multiple problems. First, it ignores the errors returned by proc_dointvec(). addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() calls proc_dointvec() directly, which writes the value to memory, and then checks if it's valid and may return EINVAL. If a bad value is given, the value displayed when reading net.ipv6.conf.foo.addr_gen_mode next time will be invalid. In case the value provided by the user was valid, addrconf_dev_config() won't be called since idev->cnf.addr_gen_mode has already been updated. Fix this in the usual way we deal with values that need to be checked after the proc_do*() helper has returned: define a local ctl_table and storage, call proc_dointvec() on that temporary area, then check and store. addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() also writes the new value to the global ipv6_devconf_dflt, when we're writing to some netns's default, so that new netns will inherit the value that was set by the change occuring in any netns. That doesn't make any sense, so let's drop this assignment. Finally, since addr_gen_mode is a __u32, switch to proc_douintvec().

The function do_test_span_vlan_dir_ips() is used for testing whether mirrored packets are VLAN-encapsulated. But since it only considers VLAN encapsulation, it may end up matching unmirrored ARP traffic as well. One consequence is a rare failure of mirror_gre_vlan_bridge_1q's test_gretap_untagged_egress. Decreasing ping cadence in mirror_test() makes the problem easily reproducible. Therefore tighten up the match criterion to only count those 802.1q packets where the next header is IP.

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says: ==================== sched: Add Common Applications Kept Enhanced (cake) qdisc This patch series adds the CAKE qdisc, and has been split up to ease review. I have attempted to split out each configurable feature into its own patch. The first commit adds the base shaper and packet scheduler, while subsequent commits add the optional features. The full userspace API and most data structures are included in this commit, but options not understood in the base version will be ignored. The result of applying the entire series is identical to the out of tree version that have seen extensive testing in previous deployments, most notably as an out of tree patch to OpenWrt. However, note that I have only compile tested the individual patches; so the whole series should be considered as a unit. --- Changelog v19: - Rebase to current net-next. - Don't rely on the value of sch->q.qlen to break loops; fixes possible infinite loop on multi-queue devices. - Don't overwrite NAT flag when setting flow mode. v18: - Rework classification logic in the diffserv case to always hash if filter doesn't select a queue, and to run TC filters before selecting the diffserv tin (allowing filter to influence this). - Make sure we always call qdisc_watchdog_init() in cake_init(), so we don't crash in cake_destroy(). v17: - Rebase to newest net-next and move the conntrack callback to nf_ct_hook - Fix a compile error when NF_CONNTRACK is unset. v16: - Move conntrack lookup function into conntrack core and read it via RCU so it is only active when the nf_conntrack module is loaded. This avoids the module dependency on conntrack for NAT mode. Thanks to Pablo for the idea. v15: - Handle ECN flags in ACK filter v14: - Handle seqno wraps and DSACKs in ACK filter v13: - Avoid ktime_t to scalar compares - Add class dumping and basic stats - Fail with ENOTSUPP when requesting NAT mode and conntrack is not available. - Parse all TCP options in ACK filter and make sure to only drop safe ones. Also handle SACK ranges properly. v12: - Get rid of custom time typedefs. Use ktime_t for time and u64 for duration instead. v11: - Fix overhead compensation calculation for GSO packets - Change configured rate to be u64 (I ran out of bits before I ran out of CPU when testing the effects of the above) v10: - Christmas tree gardening (fix variable declarations to be in reverse line length order) v9: - Remove duplicated checks around kvfree() and just call it unconditionally. - Don't pass __GFP_NOWARN when allocating memory - Move options in cake_dump() that are related to optional features to later patches implementing the features. - Support attaching filters to the qdisc and use the classification result to select flow queue. - Support overriding diffserv priority tin from skb->priority v8: - Remove inline keyword from function definitions - Simplify ACK filter; remove the complex state handling to make the logic easier to follow. This will potentially be a bit less efficient, but I have not been able to measure a difference. v7: - Split up patch into a series to ease review. - Constify the ACK filter. v6: - Fix 6in4 encapsulation checks in ACK filter code - Checkpatch fixes v5: - Refactor ACK filter code and hopefully fix the safety issues properly this time. v4: - Only split GSO packets if shaping at speeds <= 1Gbps - Fix overhead calculation code to also work for GSO packets - Don't re-implement kvzalloc() - Remove local header include from out-of-tree build (fixes kbuild-bot complaint). - Several fixes to the ACK filter: - Check pskb_may_pull() before deref of transport headers. - Don't run ACK filter logic on split GSO packets - Fix TCP sequence number compare to deal with wraparounds v3: - Use IS_REACHABLE() macro to fix compilation when sch_cake is built-in and conntrack is a module. - Switch the stats output to use nested netlink attributes instead of a versioned struct. - Remove GPL boilerplate. - Fix array initialisation style. v2: - Fix kbuild test bot complaint - Clean up the netlink ABI - Fix checkpatch complaints - A few tweaks to the behaviour of cake based on testing carried out while writing the paper. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

At lower bandwidths, the transmission time of a single GSO segment can add an unacceptable amount of latency due to HOL blocking. Furthermore, with a software shaper, any tuning mechanism employed by the kernel to control the maximum size of GSO segments is thrown off by the artificial limit on bandwidth. For this reason, we split GSO segments into their individual packets iff the shaper is active and configured to a bandwidth <= 1 Gbps.

This commit adds configurable overhead compensation support to the rate shaper. With this feature, userspace can configure the actual bottleneck link overhead and encapsulation mode used, which will be used by the shaper to calculate the precise duration of each packet on the wire. This feature is needed because CAKE is often deployed one or two hops upstream of the actual bottleneck (which can be, e.g., inside a DSL or cable modem). In this case, the link layer characteristics and overhead reported by the kernel does not match the actual bottleneck. Being able to set the actual values in use makes it possible to configure the shaper rate much closer to the actual bottleneck rate (our experience shows it is possible to get with 0.1% of the actual physical bottleneck rate), thus keeping latency low without sacrificing bandwidth. The overhead compensation has three tunables: A fixed per-packet overhead size (which, if set, will be accounted from the IP packet header), a minimum packet size (MPU) and a framing mode supporting either ATM or PTM framing. We include a set of common keywords in TC to help users configure the right parameters. If no overhead value is set, the value reported by the kernel is used.

This adds support for DiffServ-based priority queueing to CAKE. If the shaper is in use, each priority tier gets its own virtual clock, which limits that tier's rate to a fraction of the overall shaped rate, to discourage trying to game the priority mechanism. CAKE defaults to a simple, three-tier mode that interprets most code points as "best effort", but places CS1 traffic into a low-priority "bulk" tier which is assigned 1/16 of the total rate, and a few code points indicating latency-sensitive or control traffic (specifically TOS4, VA, EF, CS6, CS7) into a "latency sensitive" high-priority tier, which is assigned 1/4 rate. The other supported DiffServ modes are a 4-tier mode matching the 802.11e precedence rules, as well as two 8-tier modes, one of which implements strict precedence of the eight priority levels. This commit also adds an optional DiffServ 'wash' mode, which will zero out the DSCP fields of any packet passing through CAKE. While this can technically be done with other mechanisms in the kernel, having the feature available in CAKE significantly decreases configuration complexity; and the implementation cost is low on top of the other DiffServ-handling code. Filters and applications can set the skb->priority field to override the DSCP-based classification into tiers. If TC_H_MAJ(skb->priority) matches CAKE's qdisc handle, the minor number will be interpreted as a priority tier if it is less than or equal to the number of configured priority tiers.

When CAKE is deployed on a gateway that also performs NAT (which is a common deployment mode), the host fairness mechanism cannot distinguish internal hosts from each other, and so fails to work correctly. To fix this, we add an optional NAT awareness mode, which will query the kernel conntrack mechanism to obtain the pre-NAT addresses for each packet and use that in the flow and host hashing. When the shaper is enabled and the host is already performing NAT, the cost of this lookup is negligible. However, in unlimited mode with no NAT being performed, there is a significant CPU cost at higher bandwidths. For this reason, the feature is turned off by default.
