net: bridge: add no_linklocal_learn bool option · 70e4272b

Nikolay Aleksandrov authored Nov 24, 2018

Use the new boolopt API to add an option which disables learning from
link-local packets. The default is kept as before and learning is
enabled. This is a simple map from a boolopt bit to a bridge private
flag that is tested before learning.

v2: pass NULL for extack via sysfs

net: bridge: add support for user-controlled bool options · a428afe8

Nikolay Aleksandrov authored Nov 24, 2018

We have been adding many new bridge options, a big number of which are
boolean but still take up netlink attribute ids and waste space in the skb.
Recently we discussed learning from link-local packets[1] and decided
yet another new boolean option will be needed, thus introducing this API
to save some bridge nl space.
The API supports changing the value of multiple boolean options at once
via the br_boolopt_multi struct which has an optmask (which options to
set, bit per opt) and optval (options' new values). Future boolean
options will only be added to the br_boolopt_id enum and then will have
to be handled in br_boolopt_toggle/get. The API will automatically
add the ability to change and export them via netlink, sysfs can use the
single boolopt function versions to do the same. The behaviour with
failing/succeeding is the same as with normal netlink option changing.

If an option requires mapping to internal kernel flag or needs special
configuration to be enabled then it should be handled in
br_boolopt_toggle. It should also be able to retrieve an option's current
state via br_boolopt_get.

v2: WARN_ON() on unsupported option as that shouldn't be possible and
also will help catch people who add new options without handling
them for both set and get. Pass down extack so if an option desires
it could set it on error and be more user-friendly.

Merge branch 'virtio-support-packed-ring' · 02c72d5e

====================
virtio: support packed ring

This patch set implements packed ring support in virtio driver.

A performance test between pktgen (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
and DPDK vhost (testpmd/rxonly/vhost-PMD) has been done, I saw
~30% performance gain in packed ring in this case.

To make this patch set work with below patch set for vhost,
some hacks are needed to set the _F_NEXT flag in indirect
descriptors (this should be fixed in vhost):

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/3/33

v2 -> v3:
- Use leXX instead of virtioXX (MST);
- Refactor split ring first (MST);
- Add debug helpers (MST);
- Put split/packed ring specific fields in sub structures (MST);
- Handle normal descriptors and indirect descriptors differently (MST);
- Track the DMA addr/len related info in a separate structure (MST);
- Calculate AVAIL/USED flags only when wrap counter wraps (MST);
- Define a struct/union to read event structure (MST);
- Define a macro for wrap counter bit in uapi (MST);
- Define the AVAIL/USED bits as shifts instead of values (MST);
- s/_F_/_FLAG_/ in VRING_PACKED_EVENT_* as they are values (MST);
- Drop the notify workaround for QEMU's tx-timer in packed ring (MST);

v1 -> v2:
- Use READ_ONCE() to read event off_wrap and flags together (Jason);
- Add comments related to ccw (Jason);

RFC v6 -> v1:
- Avoid extra virtio_wmb() in virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed()
  when event idx is off (Jason);
- Fix bufs calculation in virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed() (Jason);
- Test the state of the desc at used_idx instead of last_used_idx
  in virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed() (Jason);
- Save wrap counter (as part of queue state) in the return value
  of virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare_packed();
- Refine the packed ring definitions in uapi;
- Rebase on the net-next tree;

RFC v5 -> RFC v6:
- Avoid tracking addr/len/flags when DMA API isn't used (MST/Jason);
- Define wrap counter as bool (Jason);
- Use ALIGN() in vring_init_packed() (Jason);
- Avoid using pointer to track `next` in detach_buf_packed() (Jason);
- Add comments for barriers (Jason);
- Don't enable RING_PACKED on ccw for now (noticed by Jason);
- Refine the memory barrier in virtqueue_poll();
- Add a missing memory barrier in virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed_packed();
- Remove the hacks in virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare_packed();

RFC v4 -> RFC v5:
- Save DMA addr, etc in desc state (Jason);
- Track used wrap counter;

RFC v3 -> RFC v4:
- Make ID allocation support out-of-order (Jason);
- Various fixes for EVENT_IDX support;

RFC v2 -> RFC v3:
- Split into small patches (Jason);
- Add helper virtqueue_use_indirect() (Jason);
- Just set id for the last descriptor of a list (Jason);
- Calculate the prev in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Fix/improve desc suppression code (Jason/MST);
- Refine the code layout for XXX_split/packed and wrappers (MST);
- Fix the comments and API in uapi (MST);
- Remove the BUG_ON() for indirect (Jason);
- Some other refinements and bug fixes;

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Add indirect descriptor support - compile test only;
- Add event suppression supprt - compile test only;
- Move vring_packed_init() out of uapi (Jason, MST);
- Merge two loops into one in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Split vring_unmap_one() for packed ring and split ring (Jason);
- Avoid using '%' operator (Jason);
- Rename free_head -> next_avail_idx (Jason);
- Add comments for virtio_wmb() in virtqueue_add_packed() (Jason);
- Some other refinements and bug fixes;
