2013-06-14net/core: Add VF link state controlRony Efraim
Add netlink directives and ndo entry to allow for controling VF link, which can be in one of three states: Auto - VF link state reflects the PF link state (default) Up - VF link state is up, traffic from VF to VF works even if the actual PF link is down Down - VF link state is down, no traffic from/to this VF, can be of use while configuring the VF Signed-off-by: Rony Efraim <ronye@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-06-11bridge: Add a flag to control unicast packet flood.Vlad Yasevich
Add a flag to control flood of unicast traffic. By default, flood is on and the bridge will flood unicast traffic if it doesn't know the destination. When the flag is turned off, unicast traffic without an FDB will not be forwarded to the specified port. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

2013-06-11bridge: Add flag to control mac learning.Vlad Yasevich
Allow user to control whether mac learning is enabled on the port. By default, mac learning is enabled. Disabling mac learning will cause new dynamic FDB entries to not be created for a particular port.

2013-04-19net: vlan: add 802.1ad supportPatrick McHardy
Add support for 802.1ad VLAN devices. This mainly consists of checking for ETH_P_8021AD in addition to ETH_P_8021Q in a couple of places and check offloading capabilities based on the used protocol. Configuration is done using "ip link": # ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 \ type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000 # ip link add link eth0.1000 eth0.1000.1000 \ type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000 52:54:00:12:34:56 > 92:b1:54:28:e4:8c, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84) 20.1.0.2 > 20.1.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 3003, seq 8, length 64 92:b1:54:28:e4:8c > 52:54:00:12:34:56, ethertype 802.1Q-QinQ (0x88a8), length 106: vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype 802.1Q, vlan 1000, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 47944, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 84) 20.1.0.1 > 20.1.0.2: ICMP echo reply, id 3003, seq 8, length 64 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-04-16vxlan: Allow setting destination to unicast address.Atzm Watanabe
This patch allows setting VXLAN destination to unicast address. It allows that VXLAN can be used as peer-to-peer tunnel without multicast. v4: generalize struct vxlan_dev, "gaddr" is replaced with vxlan_rdst. "GROUP" attribute is replaced with "REMOTE". they are based by David Stevens's comments. v3: move a new attribute REMOTE into the last of an enum list based by Stephen Hemminger's comments. v2: use a new attribute REMOTE instead of GROUP based by Cong Wang's comments.

2013-04-08net: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier supportDaniel Borkmann
This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status. The primary target for such support is server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their network prefix change. [...] The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are likely to require manual editing should the network prefix in use change. If instead there were a method to only manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6 address, then the address could be automatically updated when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192] for example. In such cases a DNS server might be configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of ::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02 The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K. Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested by myself.

2012-11-20add DOVE extensions for VXLANDavid Stevens
This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes: + a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions + ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of remote DOVE clients + route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first. + netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching misses Changes since v2 - combined bools into "u32 flags" - replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr() Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-15bridge: add root port blockingstephen hemminger
This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard. If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not be elected as root port. Why would you want to do this? If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic. Why not just use netfilter? Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions. It would be difficult and error prone to try and mirror STP resolution in netfilter module.

2012-11-15bridge: implement BPDU blockingstephen hemminger
This is Linux bridge implementation of STP protection (Cisco BPDU guard/Juniper BPDU block). BPDU block disables the bridge port if a STP BPDU packet is received. Why would you want to do this? If running Spanning Tree on bridge, hostile devices on the network may send BPDU and cause network failure. Enabling bpdu block will detect and stop this. How to recover the port? The port will be restarted if link is brought down, or removed and reattached.

2012-11-15bridge: bridge port parameters over netlinkstephen hemminger
Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested message, this can be used for other bridge parameters. This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED. The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use with old versions of bridge monitor command. Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more values (like macvlan has).
