macvlan: make operstate and carrier more accurate

2016-01-29T20:15:45Z

Currently when a macvlan is being initialized and the lower device is netif_carrier_ok(), the macvlan device doesn't run through rfc2863_policy() and is left with UNKNOWN operstate. Fix it by adding an unconditional linkwatch event for the new macvlan device. Similar fix is already used by the 8021q device (see register_vlan_dev()). Also fix the inconsistent state when the lower device has been down and its carrier was changed (when a device is down NETDEV_CHANGE doesn't get generated). The second issue can be seen f.e. when we have a macvlan on top of a 8021q device which has been down and its real device has been changing carrier states, after setting the 8021q device up, the macvlan device will have the same carrier state as it was before even though the 8021q can now have a different state. Example for case 1: 4: eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 $ ip l add l eth2 macvl0 type macvlan $ ip l set macvl0 up $ ip l sh macvl0 72: macvl0@eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether f6:0b:54:0a:9d:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Example for case 2 (order is important): Prestate: eth2 UP/CARRIER, vlan1 down, vlan1-macvlan down $ ip l set vlan1-macvlan up $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ eth2 loses CARRIER before vlan1 has been UP-ed ] $ ip l sh eth2 4: eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:bf:57:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l set vlan1 up $ ip l sh vlan1 70: vlan1@eth2: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:bf:57:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vlan1-macvlan is still UP, still has carrier and is still in the same operstate as before. After the patch in case 1 macvl0 has state UP as it should and in case 2 vlan1-macvlan has state LOWERLAYERDOWN again as it should. Note that while the lower macvlan device is down their carrier and thus operstate can go out of sync but that will be fixed once the lower device goes up again. This behaviour seems to have been present since beginning of git history. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Eliminate NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_V[46]_CSUM

2015-12-15T21:50:20Z

These netif flags are unnecessary convolutions. It is more straightforward to just use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, NETIF_F_IP_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM directly. This patch also: - Cleans up can_checksum_protocol - Simplifies netdev_intersect_features Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Rename NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM to NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK

2015-12-15T21:50:08Z

The name NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is a misnomer. This does not correspond to the set of features for offloading all checksums. This is a mask of the checksum offload related features bits. It is incorrect to set both NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM or NETIF_F_IPV6 at the same time for features of a device. This patch: - Changes instances of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM to NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK (where NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is being used as a mask). - Changes bonding, sfc/efx, ipvlan, macvlan, vlan, and team drivers to use NEITF_F_HW_CSUM in features list instead of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

ipv4: Pass struct net into ip_defrag and ip_check_defrag

2015-10-13T02:44:16Z

The function ip_defrag is called on both the input and the output paths of the networking stack. In particular conntrack when it is tracking outbound packets from the local machine calls ip_defrag. So add a struct net parameter and stop making ip_defrag guess which network namespace it needs to defragment packets in. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

macvlan: Don't segment multiple tagged packets on macvlan device

Macvlan/macvtap devices don't need to segment multiple tagged packets since the lower devices can segment them. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macvlan: Propagate promiscuity setting to lower devices.

2015-05-04T04:14:13Z

When a macvlan device is placed in promiscuous mode, it currently just sets it's multicast mask to permissive, but doesn't change the state of the lower device. As a result, not all multicast traffic can be received on such device. Additionally, none of a vlan traffic can be received on such device as well. This patch propagates the promiscuous mode setting to lower device so that lower device may receive all packets that macvlan may be interested in.
