License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11+00:00

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

bridge: uapi: add per vlan tunnel info

2017-02-03T20:21:21+00:00

New nested netlink attribute to associate tunnel info per vlan.
This is used by bridge driver to send tunnel metadata to
bridge ports in vlan tunnel mode. This patch also adds new per
port flag IFLA_BRPORT_VLAN_TUNNEL to enable vlan tunnel mode.
off by default.

One example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). User can configure
per-vlan tunnel information which the bridge driver can use
to bridge vlan into the corresponding vn-segment.

net: bridge: export vlan flags with the stats

2016-08-19T06:18:42+00:00

Use one of the vlan xstats padding fields to export the vlan flags. This is
needed in order to be able to distinguish between master (bridge) and port
vlan entries in user-space when dumping the bridge vlan stats.

net: bridge: extend MLD/IGMP query stats

2016-07-09T21:40:09+00:00

As was suggested this patch adds support for the different versions of MLD
and IGMP query types. Since the user visible structure is still in net-next
we can augment it instead of adding netlink attributes.
The distinction between the different IGMP/MLD query types is done as
suggested in Section 7.1, RFC 3376 [1] and Section 8.1, RFC 3810 [2] based
on query payload size and code for IGMP. Since all IGMP packets go through
multicast_rcv() and it uses ip_mc_check_igmp/ipv6_mc_check_mld we can be
sure that at least the ip/ipv6 header can be directly used.

net: bridge: add support for IGMP/MLD stats and export them via netlink

2016-06-30T10:18:24+00:00

This patch adds stats support for the currently used IGMP/MLD types by the
bridge. The stats are per-port (plus one stat per-bridge) and per-direction
(RX/TX). The stats are exported via netlink via the new linkxstats API
(RTM_GETSTATS). In order to minimize the performance impact, a new option
is used to enable/disable the stats - multicast_stats_enabled, similar to
the recent vlan stats. Also in order to avoid multiple IGMP/MLD type
lookups and checks, we make use of the current "igmp" member of the bridge
private skb->cb region to record the type on Rx (both host-generated and
external packets pass by multicast_rcv()). We can do that since the igmp
member was used as a boolean and all the valid IGMP/MLD types are positive
values. The normal bridge fast-path is not affected at all, the only
affected paths are the flooding ones and since we make use of the IGMP/MLD
type, we can quickly determine if the packet should be counted using
cache-hot data (cb's igmp member). We add counters for:
* IGMP Queries
* IGMP Leaves
* IGMP v1/v2/v3 reports

* MLD Queries
* MLD Leaves
* MLD v1/v2 reports

These are invaluable when monitoring or debugging complex multicast setups
with bridges.

bridge: netlink: export per-vlan stats

2016-05-03T02:27:06+00:00

Add a new LINK_XSTATS_TYPE_BRIDGE attribute and implement the
RTM_GETSTATS callbacks for IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS (fill_linkxstats and
get_linkxstats_size) in order to export the per-vlan stats.
The paddings were added because soon these fields will be needed for
per-port per-vlan stats (or something else if someone beats me to it) so
avoiding at least a few more netlink attributes.

bridge: mcast: add support for more router port information dumping

2016-03-01T21:55:07+00:00

Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as
timer and type attributes. For that that purpose we need to extend the
MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries
recently. The new format is thus:
[MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute
    u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility
    [MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes]
}
This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve
the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining
attributes. It would also allow to add future extensions to the router
port without breaking compatibility.

bridge: mdb: add support for more attributes and export timer

2016-02-19T20:27:36+00:00

Currently mdb entries are exported directly as a structure inside
MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO attribute, we can't really extend it without
breaking user-space. In order to export new mdb fields, I've converted
the MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO into a nested attribute which starts like before
with struct br_mdb_entry (without header, as it's casted directly in
iproute2) and continues with MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes. This way we
keep compatibility with older users and can export new data.
I've tested this with iproute2, both with and without support for the
added attribute and it works fine.
So basically we again have MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO with struct br_mdb_entry
inside but it may contain also some additional MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes
such as MDBA_MDB_EATTR_TIMER which can be parsed by user-space.

So the new structure is:
[MDBA_MDB] = {
     [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY] = {
         [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO]
         [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO] { <- Nested attribute
             struct br_mdb_entry <- nla_put_nohdr()
             [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY attributes] <- normal netlink attributes
         }
     }
}
