bonding: Fix bonding crash

2016-09-04T18:41:12+00:00

Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      > modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      > ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      > echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

net: remove type_check from dev_get_nest_level()

2016-08-13T22:15:54+00:00

The idea for type_check in dev_get_nest_level() was to count the number
of nested devices of the same type (currently, only macvlan or vlan
devices).
This prevented the false positive lockdep warning on configurations such
as:

eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0 <--- macvlan1

However, this doesn't prevent a warning on a configuration such as:

eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0
eth1 <--- vlan1 <--- macvlan1

In this case, all the locks end up with a nesting subclass of 1, so
lockdep thinks that there is still a deadlock:

- in the first case we have (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1) and then
  take (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1)
- in the second case, we have (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1) and then
  take (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1)

By removing the linktype check in dev_get_nest_level() and always
incrementing the nesting depth, lockdep considers this configuration
valid.

net/sched: Add match-all classifier hw offloading.

2016-07-25T06:11:59+00:00

Following the work that have been done on offloading classifiers like u32
and flower, now the match-all classifier hw offloading is possible. if
the interface supports tc offloading.

To control the offloading, two tc flags have been introduced: skip_sw and
skip_hw. Typical usage:

tc filter add dev eth25 parent ffff: 	\
	matchall skip_sw		\
	action mirred egress mirror	\
	dev eth27

net: add ndo to setup/query xdp prog in adapter rx

2016-07-20T04:46:31+00:00

Add one new netdev op for drivers implementing the BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP
filter. The single op is used for both setup/query of the xdp program,
modelled after ndo_setup_tc.

vlan: use a valid default mtu value for vlan over macsec

2016-07-17T03:15:02+00:00

macsec can't cope with mtu frames which need vlan tag insertion, and
vlan device set the default mtu equal to the underlying dev's one.
By default vlan over macsec devices use invalid mtu, dropping
all the large packets.
This patch adds a netif helper to check if an upper vlan device
needs mtu reduction. The helper is used during vlan devices
initialization to set a valid default and during mtu updating to
forbid invalid, too bit, mtu values.
The helper currently only check if the lower dev is a macsec device,
if we get more users, we need to update only the helper (possibly
reserving an additional IFF bit).

net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy ndo calls for L2 upper devices

2016-07-05T16:06:28+00:00

L2 upper device needs to propagate neigh_construct/destroy calls down to
lower devices. Do this by defining default ndo functions and use them in
team, bond, bridge and vlan.

net: add dev arg to ndo_neigh_construct/destroy

As the following patch will allow upper devices to follow the call down
lower devices, we need to add dev here and not rely on n->dev.

mlxsw: spectrum: Add couple of lower device helper functions

2016-07-05T01:25:15+00:00

Add functions that iterate over lower devices and find port device.
As a dependency add netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev and
netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev_rcu macro with
netdev_all_lower_get_next and netdev_all_lower_get_next_rcu shelpers.

Also, add functions to return mlxsw struct according to lower device
found and mlxsw_port struct with a reference to lower device.

net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN

2016-07-01T09:32:17+00:00

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.
