net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump.

2016-02-26T20:04:02Z

When the send skbuff reaches the end, nlmsg_put and friends returns -EMSGSIZE but it is silently thrown away in ndo_fdb_dump. It is called within a for_each_netdev loop and the first fdb entry of a following netdev could fit in the remaining skbuff. This breaks the mechanism of cb->args[0] and idx to keep track of the entries that are already dumped, which results missing entries in bridge fdb show command.

net: Pass ndm_state to route netlink FDB notifications.

2015-12-16T23:36:46Z

Before this change applications monitoring FDB notifications were not able to determine whether a new FDB entry is permament or not: bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f8 dev sw0p1 temp self bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f9 dev sw0p1 self bridge monitor fdb f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f8 dev sw0p1 self permanent f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f9 dev sw0p1 self permanent With this change ndm_state from the original netlink message is passed to the new netlink message sent as notification. bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f6 dev sw0p1 self bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f7 dev sw0p1 temp self bridge monitor fdb f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f6 dev sw0p1 self permanent f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f7 dev sw0p1 self static Signed-off-by: Hubert Sokolowski Signed-off-by: David S.

switchdev: Pass original device to port netdev driver

2015-12-15T16:58:20Z

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port. However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute. This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device and act accordingly. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: fix frame size warning in rtnl_fill_ifinfo

2015-11-17T20:25:44Z

Fix the following warning: CC net/core/rtnetlink.o net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function ‘rtnl_fill_ifinfo’: net/core/rtnetlink.c:1308:1: warning: the frame size of 2864 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] } ^ by splitting up the huge rtnl_fill_ifinfo into some smaller ones, so we don't have the huge frame allocations at the same time.

if_link: Add control trust VF

2015-10-23T12:44:28Z

Add netlink directives and ndo entry to trust VF user. This controls the special permission of VF user. The administrator will dedicatedly trust VF user to use some features which impacts security and/or performance. The administrator never turn it on unless VF user is fully trusted.

netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculation

2015-10-22T02:15:20Z

if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and rtnl_link_get_size(). The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.
