rtnl: protect do_setlink from IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED

2016-07-21T05:07:23Z

The IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED nested attribute is meant for read-only, and while do_setlink properly ignores it, it should be more paranoid and reject commands that try to set it. Signed-off-by: Brenden Blanco Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: add option for setting link xdp prog

2016-07-20T04:46:32Z

Sets the bpf program represented by fd as an early filter in the rx path of the netdev. The fd must have been created as BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP. Providing a negative value as fd clears the program. Getting the fd back via rtnl is not possible, therefore reading of this value merely provides a bool whether the program is valid on the link or not.

net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN

2016-07-01T09:32:17Z

This patch introduces a new event - NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN, this will be triggered when tx_queue_len. It could be used by net device who want to do some processing at that time. An example is tun who may want to resize tx array when tx_queue_len is changed. Cc: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Acked-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rtnetlink: add support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute

2016-06-30T10:15:04Z

This patch adds support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute which allows to export per-slave statistics if the master device supports the linkxstats callback. The attribute is passed down to the linkxstats callback and it is up to the callback user to use it (an example has been added to the only current user - the bridge). This allows us to query only specific slaves of master devices like bridge ports and export only what we're interested in instead of having to dump all ports and searching only for a single one. This will be used to export per-port IGMP/MLD stats and also per-port vlan stats in the future, possibly other statistics as well. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: add the ability to defer skb freeing

2016-06-15T21:08:34Z

qdisc are changed under RTNL protection and often while blocking BH and root qdisc spinlock. When lots of skbs need to be dropped, we free them under these locks causing TX/RX freezes, and more generally latency spikes. This commit adds rtnl_kfree_skbs(), used to queue skbs for deferred freeing. Actual freeing happens right after RTNL is released, with appropriate scheduling points. rtnl_qdisc_drop() can also be used in place of disc_drop() when RTNL is held. qdisc_reset_queue() and __qdisc_reset_queue() get the new behavior, so standard qdiscs like pfifo, pfifo_fast... have their ->reset() method automatically handled.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2016-05-09T19:59:24Z

In netdevice.h we removed the structure in net-next that is being changes in 'net'. In macsec.c and rtnetlink.c we have overlaps between fixes in 'net' and the u64 attribute changes in 'net-next'. The mlx5 conflicts have to do with vxlan support dependencies. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fix infoleak in rtnetlink

2016-05-04T20:19:42Z

The stack object “map” has a total size of 32 bytes. Its last 4 bytes are padding generated by compiler. These padding bytes are not initialized and sent out via “nla_put”. Signed-off-by: Kangjie Lu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rtnetlink: add linkxstats callbacks and attribute

2016-05-03T02:27:06Z

Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute. Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks). Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

net: rtnetlink: allow rtnl_fill_statsinfo to save private state counter

2016-05-03T02:27:06Z

The new prividx argument allows the current dumping device to save a private state counter which would enable it to continue dumping from where it left off. And the idxattr is used to save the current idx user so multiple prividx using attributes can be requested at the same time as suggested by Roopa Prabhu.
