I've heard rumblings that the lightweight tunnels infrastructure has been voted networking change of the year. But what do I know? 1) Add conntrack support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer. 2) Initial support for VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), which allows the segmentation of routing paths without using multiple devices. There are some semantic kinks to work out still, but this is a reasonably strong foundation. From David Ahern. 3) Remove spinlock fro act_bpf fast path, from Alexei Starovoitov. 4) Ignore route nexthops with a link down state in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Andy Gospodarek. 5) Remove spinlock from fast path of act_gact and act_mirred, from Eric Dumazet. 6) Document the DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 7) Add netconsole support to bcmgenet, systemport, and DSA. Also from Florian Fainelli. 8) Add Mellanox Switch Driver and core infrastructure, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Add support for "light weight tunnels", which allow for encapsulation and decapsulation without bearing the overhead of a full blown netdevice. From Thomas Graf, Jiri Benc, and a cast of others. 10) Add Identifier Locator Addressing support for ipv6, from Tom Herbert. 11) Support fragmented SKBs in iwlwifi, from Johannes Berg. 12) Allow perf PMUs to be accessed from eBPF programs, from Kaixu Xia. 13) Add BQL support to 3c59x driver, from Loganaden Velvindron. 14) Stop using a zero TX queue length to mean that a device shouldn't have a qdisc attached, use an explicit flag instead. From Phil Sutter. 15) Use generic geneve netdevice infrastructure in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 16) Add infrastructure to avoid re-forwarding a packet in software that was already forwarded by a hardware switch. From Scott Feldman. 17) Allow AF_PACKET fanout function to be implemented in a bpf program, from Willem de Bruijn" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1458 commits) netfilter: nf_conntrack: make nf_ct_zone_dflt built-in netfilter: nf_dup{4, 6}: fix build error when nf_conntrack disabled net: fec: clear receive interrupts before processing a packet ipv6: fix exthdrs offload registration in out_rt path xen-netback: add support for multicast control bgmac: Update fixed_phy_register() sock, diag: fix panic in sock_diag_put_filterinfo flow_dissector: Use 'const' where possible. flow_dissector: Fix function argument ordering dependency ixgbe: Resolve "initialized field overwritten" warnings ixgbe: Remove bimodal SR-IOV disabling ixgbe: Add support for reporting 2.5G link speed ixgbe: fix bounds checking in ixgbe_setup_tc for 82598 ixgbe: support for ethtool set_rxfh ixgbe: Avoid needless PHY access on copper phys ixgbe: cleanup to use cached mask value ixgbe: Remove second instance of lan_id variable ixgbe: use kzalloc for allocating one thing flow: Move __get_hash_from_flowi{4,6} into flow_dissector.c ixgbe: Remove unused PCI bus types ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate, to allow probing for optimal throughput even during slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT. At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio while in Congestion Avoidance phase. This ratio was set to 120 %. We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while, then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 : - After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly, as we approach optimal cwnd. - Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling cwnd every other RTT.

| * | rocker: hook ndo_neigh_destroy to cleanup neigh refs in driverScott Feldman2015-08-131-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rocker driver tracks arp_tbl neighs to resolve IPv4 route nexthops. The driver uses NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE for neigh adds and updates, but there is no event when the neigh is removed from the device (such as when the device goes admin down). This patches hooks ndo_neigh_destroy so the driver can know when a neigh is removed from the device. In response, the driver will purge the neigh entry from its internal tbl. I didn't find an in-tree users of ndo_neigh_destroy, so I'm not sure if this ndo is vestigial or if there are out-of-tree users. In any case, it does what I need here. An alternative design would be to generate NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE event when neigh is being destroyed, setting state to NUD_NONE so driver knows neigh entry is dead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface") disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition. RFC 4861, 6.3.4. Processing Received Router Advertisements A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time, and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the host should continue using whatever value it is already using. If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set its CurHopLimit variable to the received value. So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC standards.

Jacob provides several patches to clarify the intended way to implement both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info(). It is okay to support the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic filters. Alex Duyck provides a igb patch to pull the time stamp from the fragment before it gets added to the skb, to avoid a possible issue in which the fragment can possibly be less than IGB_RX_HDR_LEN due to the time stamp being pulled after the copybreak check. Also provides a ixgbevf patch to fold the ixgbevf_pull_tail() call into ixgbevf_add_rx_frag(), which gives the advantage that the fragment does not have to be modified after it is added to the skb. Fan provides patches for ixgbe/ixgbevf to set the receive hash type based on receive descriptor RSS type. Todd provides a fix for igb where on check for link on any media other than copper was not being detected since it was looking on the incorrect PHY page (due to the page being used gets switched before the function to check link gets executed). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds some clarification about the intended way to implement both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info. The HWTSTAMP API has several Rx filters which are very specific, as well as more general filters. The specific filters really only exist to support some broken hardware which can't fully implement the generic filters. This patch adds clarification that it is okay to support the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic filters. In addition, update the header for ethtool_ts_info to specify that drivers ought to only report the filters they support without upscaling in this manner.

* netconsole: implement extended console supportTejun Heo2015-06-251-1/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed to regular console drivers. It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to netconsole consumers. This obviously makes logging via netconsole more complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g. when netconsole is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to travel congested hops to reach the aggregator. The lost and reordered messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the sequence numbers. printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by setting CON_EXTENDED flag. From console driver side, not much changes. The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs. When enabled, netconsole transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg output. There's one complication due to message fragments. netconsole limits the maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into multiple fragments. As all extended console messages should carry matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to identify the specific fragment. The optional header is of the form "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and LEN is the total length. To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is configured.

* | | tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()Eric Dumazet2015-05-271-3/+5

If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow, and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of space to find a slot. In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect() so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind() users. We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range, lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot. This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range is even, ie if start/end values have different parity. Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to 32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000) There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3c9 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The port key has three components - user-key, speed-part, and duplex-part. The LSBit is for the duplex-part, next 5 bits are for the speed while the remaining 10 bits are the user defined key bits. Get these 10 bits from the user-space (through the SysFs interface) and use it to form the admin port-key. Allowed range for the user-key is 0 - 1023 (10 bits). If it is not provided then use zero for the user-key-bits (default). It can set using following example code - # modprobe bonding mode=4 # usr_port_key=$(( RANDOM & 0x3FF )) # echo $usr_port_key > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_user_port_key # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves ... # ip link set bond0 up Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> [jt: * fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch * fixed up context from change in ad_actor_sys_prio patch] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In the current setup anyone on the same L2 can "guess" the LACPDU contents and then possibly send the spoofed LACPDUs and trick the partner causing connectivity issues for the AD system. This patch allows to use a random mac-address obscuring it's identity making it harder for someone in the L2 is do the same thing. This patch allows user-space to choose the mac-address for the AD-system. This mac-address can not be NULL or a Multicast. If the mac-address is set from user-space; kernel will honor it and will not overwrite it. In the absence (value from user space); the logic will default to using the masters' mac as the mac-address for the AD-system. It can be set using example code below - # modprobe bonding mode=4 # sys_mac_addr=$(printf '%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' \ $(( (RANDOM & 0xFE) | 0x02 )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \ $(( RANDOM & 0xFF ))) # echo $sys_mac_addr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_system # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves ... # ip link set bond0 up Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> [jt: fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
