packet: nlmon: virtual netlink monitoring device for packet sockets

2013-06-24T23:39:05+00:00

Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that
is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch
implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be
made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a
similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow.

I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink
net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET
sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can
already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have
RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused,
and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we
simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis.

Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be
changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but
not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of
netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems.

Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

net: Move MII out from under NET_CORE and hide it

2013-06-20T05:22:56+00:00

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it.  This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.

There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

VXLAN: Fix vxlan stats handling.

2013-03-26T16:27:18+00:00

Fixes bug in VXLAN code where is iptunnel_xmit() called with NULL
dev->tstats.
This bug was introduced in commit 6aed0c8bf7d2f389b (tunnel: use
iptunnel_xmit() again).

Following patch fixes bug by setting dev->tstats. It uses ip_tunnel
module code to share stats function.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) ping_err() ICMP error handler looks at wrong ICMP header, from Li
    Wei.

 2) TCP socket hash function on ipv6 is too weak, from Eric Dumazet.

 3) netif_set_xps_queue() forgets to drop mutex on errors, fix from
    Alexander Duyck.

 4) sum_frag_mem_limit() can deadlock due to lack of BH disabling, fix
    from Eric Dumazet.

 5) TCP SYN data is miscalculated in tcp_send_syn_data(), because the
    amount of TCP option space was not taken into account properly in
    this code path.  Fix from yuchung Cheng.

 6) MLX4 driver allocates device queues with the wrong size, from Kleber
    Sacilotto.

 7) sock_diag can access past the end of the sock_diag_handlers[] array,
    from Mathias Krause.

 8) vlan_set_encap_proto() makes incorrect assumptions about where
    skb->data points, rework the logic so that it works regardless of
    where skb->data happens to be.  From Jesse Gross.

 9) Fix gianfar build failure with NET_POLL enabled, from Paul
    Gortmaker.

10) Fix Ipv4 ID setting and checksum calculations in GRE driver, from
   Pravin B Shelar.

11) bgmac driver does:

        int i;

        for (i = 0; ...; ...) {
                ...
                for (i = 0; ...; ...) {

    effectively corrupting the outer loop index, use a seperate
    variable for the inner loops.  From Rafał Miłecki.

12) Fix suspend bugs in smsc95xx driver, from Ming Lei.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

vxlan: virtual extensible lan

2012-10-01T22:39:45+00:00

This is an implementation of Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network
as described in draft RFC:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02

The driver integrates a Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) functionality
that learns MAC to IP address mapping.

This implementation has not been tested only against the Linux
userspace implementation using TAP, not against other vendor's
equipment.
