2011-05-23macvlan: Forward unicast frames in bridge mode to lowerdevDavid Ward
Unicast frames between macvlan interfaces in bridge mode are not otherwise sent to network taps on the lowerdev (as all other macvlan frames are), so forward the frames to the receive queue of the lowerdev first.

2011-05-09net: use batched device unregister in veth and macvlanEric Dumazet
veth devices dont use the batched device unregisters yet. Since veth are a pair of devices, it makes sense to use a batch of two unregisters, this roughly divides dismantle time by two. Fix this by changing dellink() callers to always provide a non NULL head.

2011-03-22macvlan: Fix use after free of struct macvlan_port.Eric W. Biederman
When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue in 23289a37e2b127dfc4de1313fba15bb4c9f0cd5b, a use after free of struct macvlan_port was introduced. The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port. Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed. To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.

2011-03-14macvlan : fix checksums error when we are in bridge modeDaniel Lezcano
When the lower device has offloading capabilities, the packets checksums are not computed. That leads to have any macvlan port in bridge mode to not work because the packets are dropped due to a bad checksum. If the macvlan is in bridge mode, the packet is forwarded to another macvlan port and reach the network stack where it looks for a checksum but this one was not computed due to the offloading of the lower device. In this case, we have to set the packet with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when it is forwarded to a bridged port and restore the previous value of ip_summed when the packet goes to the lowerdev.

2010-11-22macvlan: Introduce 'passthru' mode to takeover the underlying deviceSridhar Samudrala
With the current default 'vepa' mode, a KVM guest using virtio with macvtap backend has the following limitations. - cannot change/add a mac address on the guest virtio-net - cannot create a vlan device on the guest virtio-net - cannot enable promiscuous mode on guest virtio-net To address these limitations, this patch introduces a new mode called 'passthru' when creating a macvlan device which allows takeover of the underlying device and passing it to a guest using virtio with macvtap backend. Only one macvlan device is allowed in passthru mode and it inherits the mac address from the underlying device and sets it in promiscuous mode to receive and forward all the packets.

2010-07-22macvtap: Limit packet queue lengthHerbert Xu
Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over a macvtap link to a kvm receiver. This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues are unlimited in length. This means that if the receiver can't keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver. This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length. Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver queue fills up. This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied anyway. Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this. Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when macvtap_get_queue fails. Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a non-zero TX queue length. This patch includes his work to change the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.

2010-07-10net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats unionBen Hutchings
In commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b "net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or conversion between the two. However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0a276eb8d6ca917b3974c2edb036da3 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.

2010-07-07net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit archesEric Dumazet
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

2009-11-26macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private modeArnd Bergmann
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one of three modes, depending on the use case: MACVLAN_PRIVATE: The device never communicates with any other device on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames coming back from a reflective relay, where supported by the adjacent bridge. MACVLAN_VEPA: The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode, we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames where both source and destination are local to the macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective relay. Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode. We never deliver any frames locally. MACVLAN_BRIDGE: We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames from one interface to another one get delivered directly and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external interface, but when they come back from a reflective relay, we don't deliver them again. Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge module does.

2009-11-08net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.Eric W. Biederman
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

Because macvlan_start_xmit() has to update netdev_queue stats only (and not dev->stats), I chose to change tx_errors/tx_aborted_errors accounting to tx_dropped, since netdev_queue structure doesnt define tx_errors / tx_aborted_errors.

Now try to ping anything via macvlan0: ping 10.195.1.2 Actual results: For every attempted packet tx kernel writes to console: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/8021q/vlan_dev.c:254 vlan_dev_hard_header+0x36/0x126 [8021q]() Hardware name: M22ES Modules linked in: arptable_filter arp_tables bridge veth macvlan arc4 ecb ppp_mppe ppp_async crc_ccitt ppp_generic slhc autofs4 sunrpc 8021q garp stp ipt_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_state nf_conntrack xt_tcpudp x_tables dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_multipath dm_mod sbs sbshc lp floppy snd_intel8x0 joydev snd_seq_dummy snd_intel8x0m snd_ac97_codec ide_cd_mod ac97_bus snd_seq_oss cdrom snd_seq_midi_event serio_raw snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss parport_pc snd_pcm parport battery 8139cp snd_timer i2c_sis96x ac button snd rtc_cmos rtc_core 8139too soundcore rtc_lib mii i2c_core pcspkr snd_page_alloc pata_sis libata sd_mod scsi_mod ext3 jbd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd [last unloaded: ip_tables] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.29.3 #1 Call Trace: [<c0425f48>] warn_slowpath+0x60/0x9f [<c0425f6f>] warn_slowpath+0x87/0x9f [<dffb850d>] vlan_dev_hard_header+0x0/0x126 [8021q] [<dffb8543>] vlan_dev_hard_header+0x36/0x126 [8021q] [<dffb850d>] vlan_dev_hard_header+0x0/0x126 [8021q] [<df83155d>] macvlan_hard_header+0x3c/0x47 [macvlan] [<df831521>] macvlan_hard_header+0x0/0x47 [macvlan] [<c062bf3f>] arp_create+0xef/0x1ff [<c062c08c>] arp_send+0x3d/0x54 [<c062c916>] arp_solicit+0x16c/0x177 [<c05fadd2>] neigh_timer_handler+0x227/0x269 [<c05fabab>] neigh_timer_handler+0x0/0x269 [<c042ce4d>] run_timer_softirq+0xf0/0x141 [<c0429e5a>] __do_softirq+0x76/0xf8 [<c0429de4>] __do_softirq+0x0/0xf8 <IRQ> [<c044fb67>] handle_level_irq+0x0/0xad [<c0429db7>] irq_exit+0x35/0x62 [<c04046bb>] do_IRQ+0xdf/0xf4 [<c04035a7>] common_interrupt+0x27/0x2c [<c04079c5>] default_idle+0x2a/0x3d [<c0401bb6>] cpu_idle+0x57/0x70 Macvlan driver always uses standard ethernet header length for all types of interface to which it is linked.

2009-05-30net: convert unicast addr listJiri Pirko
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes). I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len. The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the change is not so trivial.

2009-05-19net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-13macvlan: Deterministic ingress packet deliveryEric Biederman
Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive packets. There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan. Allowing a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or another macvlan. To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table I verify that the new mac address is usable. The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of mac vlan mac addresses. To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic needed to update the hash table all over the place.
