sfp/phylink: move module EEPROM ethtool access into netdev core ethtool

2018-03-30T14:11:06+00:00

Provide a pointer to the SFP bus in struct net_device, so that the
ethtool module EEPROM methods can access the SFP directly, rather
than needing every user to provide a hook for it.

net: Call add/kill vid ndo on vlan filter feature toggling

2018-03-30T13:58:59+00:00

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CS]TAG_FILTER features require more than just a bit
flip in dev->features in order to keep the driver in a consistent state.
These features notify the driver of each added/removed vlan, but toggling
of vlan-filter does not notify the driver accordingly for each of the
existing vlans.

This patch implements a similar solution to NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT
behavior (which notifies the driver about UDP ports in the same manner
that vids are reported).

Each toggling of the features propagates to the 8021q module, which
iterates over the vlans and call add/kill ndo accordingly.

net: Drop NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL

2018-03-26T15:34:00+00:00

Last user is gone after bdf5bd7f2132 "rds: tcp: remove
register_netdevice_notifier infrastructure.", so we can
remove this netdevice command. This allows to delete
rtnl_lock() in netdev_run_todo(), which is hot path for
net namespace unregistration.

dev_change_net_namespace() and netdev_wait_allrefs()
have rcu_barrier() before NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL call,
and the source commits say they were introduced to
delemit the call with NETDEV_UNREGISTER, but this patch
leaves them on the places, since they require additional
analysis, whether we need in them for something else.

net: Make NETDEV_XXX commands enum { }

2018-03-26T15:33:26+00:00

This patch is preparation to drop NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL.
Since the cmd is used in usnic_ib_netdev_event_to_string()
to get cmd name, after plain removing NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL
from everywhere, we'd have holes in event2str[] in this
function.

Instead of that, let's make NETDEV_XXX commands names
available for everyone, and to define netdev_cmd_to_name()
in the way we won't have to shaffle names after their
numbers are changed.

net: fix sysctl_fb_tunnels_only_for_init_net link error

2018-03-13T18:15:21+00:00

The new variable is only available when CONFIG_SYSCTL is enabled,
otherwise we get a link error:

net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.o: In function `ip_tunnel_init_net':
ip_tunnel.c:(.text+0x278b): undefined reference to `sysctl_fb_tunnels_only_for_init_net'

This adds an extra condition, keeping the traditional behavior when
CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled.

net: introduce IFF_NO_RX_HANDLER

2018-03-09T18:00:08+00:00

Some network devices - notably ipvlan slave - are not compatible with
any kind of rx_handler. Currently the hook can be installed but any
configuration (bridge, bond, macsec, ...) is nonfunctional.

This change allocates a priv_flag bit to mark such devices and explicitly
forbid installing a rx_handler if such bit is set. The new bit is used
by ipvlan slave device.

net: do not create fallback tunnels for non-default namespaces

2018-03-09T16:23:11+00:00

fallback tunnels (like tunl0, gre0, gretap0, erspan0, sit0,
ip6tnl0, ip6gre0) are automatically created when the corresponding
module is loaded.

These tunnels are also automatically created when a new network
namespace is created, at a great cost.

In many cases, netns are used for isolation purposes, and these
extra network devices are a waste of resources. We are using
thousands of netns per host, and hit the netns creation/delete
bottleneck a lot. (Many thanks to Kirill for recent work on this)

Add a new sysctl so that we can opt-out from this automatic creation.

Note that these tunnels are still created for the initial namespace,
to be the least intrusive for typical setups.

Tested:
lpk43:~# cat add_del_unshare.sh
for i in `seq 1 40`
do
 (for j in `seq 1 100` ; do  unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done) &
done

net: unpollute priv_flags space

2018-03-07T17:38:24+00:00

the ipvlan device driver defines and uses 2 bits inside the priv_flags
net_device field. Such bits and the related helper are used only
inside the ipvlan device driver, and the core networking does not
need to be aware of them.

This change moves netif_is_ipvlan* helper in the ipvlan driver and
re-implement them looking for ipvlan specific symbols instead of
using priv_flags.

Overall this frees two bits inside priv_flags - and move the following
ones to avoid gaps - without any intended functional change.
