vxlan: fix oops when delete netns containing vxlan

2013-03-20T20:10:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9cb6cb7ed11cd3b69c47bb414983603a6ff20b1d ]

The following script will produce a kernel oops:

    sudo ip netns add v
    sudo ip netns exec v ip ad add 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo
    sudo ip netns exec v ip link set lo up
    sudo ip netns exec v ip ro add 224.0.0.0/4 dev lo
    sudo ip netns exec v ip li add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 group 239.1.1.1 dev lo
    sudo ip netns exec v ip link set vxlan0 up
    sudo ip netns del v

where inspect by gdb:

    $4 = (struct socket *) 0x0

The kernel calls `vxlan_exit_net` when deleting the netns before shutting down
vxlan interfaces. Later the removal of all vxlan interfaces, where `vn->sock`
is already gone causes the oops. so we should manually shutdown all interfaces
before deleting `vn->sock` as the patch does.

vxlan: allow live mac address change

2013-01-03T09:58:13+00:00

The VXLAN pseudo-device doesn't care if the mac address changes

net/vxlan: Use the underlying device index when joining/leaving multicast groups

2012-12-26T23:09:55+00:00

The socket calls from vxlan to join/leave multicast group aren't
using the index of the underlying device, as a result the stack uses
the first interface that is up. This results in vxlan being non functional
over a device which isn't the 1st to be up.
Fix this by providing the iflink field to the vxlan instance
to the multicast calls.

vxlan: Add capability of Rx checksum offload for inner packet

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

This patch adds capability in vxlan to identify received
checksummed inner packets and signal them to the upper layers of
the stack. The driver needs to set the skb->encapsulation bit
and also set the skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

vxlan: capture inner headers during encapsulation

2012-12-09T05:20:28+00:00

Allow VXLAN to make use of Tx checksum offloading and Tx scatter-gather.
The advantage to these two changes is that it also allows the VXLAN to
make use of GSO.

add DOVE extensions for VXLAN

2012-11-20T18:41:28+00:00

This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed
Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes:

	+ a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions
	+ ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint
		answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of
		remote DOVE clients
	+ route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP
		addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for
		switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first.
	+ netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching
		misses

Changes since v2
	- combined bools into "u32 flags"
	- replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr()

net: convert __IPTUNNEL_XMIT() to an inline function

2012-11-14T23:49:50+00:00

__IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is an ugly macro, convert it to a static
inline function, so make it more readable.

IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is unused, just remove it.

vxlan: Update hard_header_len based on lowerdev when instantiating VXLAN

2012-11-13T23:19:50+00:00

In the event of a VXLAN device being linked to a device that has a
hard_header_len greater than that of standard ethernet we could end up with
the hard_header_len not being large enough for outgoing frames.  In order to
prevent this we should update the length when a lowerdev is provided.
