ipvlan: ignore addresses from ipv6 autoconfiguration

2015-07-16T04:33:40+00:00

Inet6addr notifier is atomic and runs in bh context without RTNL when
ipv6 receives router advertisement packet and performs autoconfiguration.

Proper fix still in discussion. Let's at least plug the bug.

ipvlan: unhash addresses without synchronize_rcu

2015-07-16T04:33:39+00:00

All structures used in traffic forwarding are rcu-protected:
ipvl_addr, ipvl_dev and ipvl_port. Thus we can unhash addresses
without synchronization. We'll anyway hash it back into the same
bucket: in worst case lockless lookup will scan hash once again.

ipvlan: Always set broadcast bit in multicast filter

2015-05-05T23:29:49+00:00

Earlier tricks of setting broadcast bit only when IPv4 address is added
onto interface are not good enough especially when autoconf comes in play.
Setting them on always is performance drag but now that multicast /
broadcast is not processed in fast-path; enabling broadcast will let
autoconf work correctly without affecting performance characteristics of
the device.

ipvlan: Defer multicast / broadcast processing to a work-queue

2015-05-05T23:29:49+00:00

Processing multicast / broadcast in fast path is performance draining
and having more links means more cloning and bringing performance
down further.

Broadcast; in particular, need to be given to all the virtual links.
Earlier tricks of enabling broadcast bit for IPv4 only interfaces are not
really working since it fails autoconf. Which means enabling broadcast
for all the links if protocol specific hacks do not have to be added into
the driver.

This patch defers all (incoming as well as outgoing) multicast traffic to
a work-queue leaving only the unicast traffic in the fast-path. Now if we
need to apply any additional tricks to further reduce the impact of this
(multicast / broadcast) type of traffic, it can be implemented while
processing this work without affecting the fast-path.

The TCP conflicts were overlapping changes.  In 'net' we added a
READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next'
Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini
sockets are handled.

With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next
and then I cherry picked it back into net.

ipvlan: fix check for IP addresses in control path

2015-03-31T17:28:33+00:00

When an ipvlan interface is down, its addresses are not on the hash list.
Fix checks for existence of addresses not to depend on the hash list, walk
through all interface addresses instead.
