bonding: print churn state via netlink

2026-07-04T11:43:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4916f2e2f3fc9aef289fcd07949301e5c29094c2 ]

Currently, the churn state is printed only in sysfs. Add netlink support
so users could get the state via netlink.

bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority

2026-07-04T11:43:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6b6dc81ee7e8ca87c71a533e1d69cf96a4f1e986 ]

Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting
the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the
existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over
LACP negotiations.

The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by
subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.

netkit: Add option for scrubbing skb meta data

2024-12-09T09:40:56+00:00

commit 83134ef4609388f6b9ca31a384f531155196c2a7 upstream.

Jordan reported that when running Cilium with netkit in per-endpoint-routes
mode, network policy misclassifies traffic. In this direct routing mode
of Cilium which is used in case of GKE/EKS/AKS, the Pod's BPF program to
enforce policy sits on the netkit primary device's egress side.

The issue here is that in case of netkit's netkit_prep_forward(), it will
clear meta data such as skb->mark and skb->priority before executing the
BPF program. Thus, identity data stored in there from earlier BPF programs
(e.g. from tcx ingress on the physical device) gets cleared instead of
being made available for the primary's program to process. While for traffic
egressing the Pod via the peer device this might be desired, this is
different for the primary one where compared to tcx egress on the host
veth this information would be available.

To address this, add a new parameter for the device orchestration to
allow control of skb->mark and skb->priority scrubbing, to make the two
accessible from BPF (and eventually leave it up to the program to scrub).
By default, the current behavior is retained. For netkit peer this also
enables the use case where applications could cooperate/signal intent to
the BPF program.

Note that struct netkit has a 4 byte hole between policy and bundle which
is used here, in other words, struct netkit's first cacheline content used
in fast-path does not get moved around.

gtp: add IPv6 support

2024-05-06T23:35:57+00:00

Add new iflink attributes to configure in-kernel UDP listener socket
address: IFLA_GTP_LOCAL and IFLA_GTP_LOCAL6. If none of these attributes
are specified, default is still to IPv4 INADDR_ANY for backward
compatibility.

Add new attributes to set up family and IPv6 address of GTP tunnels:
GTPA_FAMILY, GTPA_PEER_ADDR6 and GTPA_MS_ADDR6. If no GTPA_FAMILY is
specified, AF_INET is assumed for backward compatibility.

setsockopt IPV6_ADDRFORM allows to downgrade socket from IPv6 to IPv4
after socket is bound. Assumption is that socket listener that is
attached to the gtp device needs to be either IPv4 or IPv6. Therefore,
GTP socket listener does not allow for IPv4-mapped-IPv6 listener.

net: hsr: Provide RedBox support (HSR-SAN)

2024-04-26T10:04:43+00:00

Introduce RedBox support (HSR-SAN to be more precise) for HSR networks.
Following traffic reduction optimizations have been implemented:
- Do not send HSR supervisory frames to Port C (interlink)
- Do not forward to HSR ring frames addressed to Port C
- Do not forward to Port C frames from HSR ring
- Do not send duplicate HSR frame to HSR ring when destination is Port C

The corresponding patch to modify iptable2 sources has already been sent:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240308145729.490863-1-lukma@denx.de/T/

Testing procedure (veth and netns):
-----------------------------------
One shall run:
linux-vanila/tools/testing/selftests/net/hsr/hsr_redbox.sh
(Detailed description of the setup one can find in the test
script file).

Testing procedure (real hardware):
----------------------------------
The EVB-KSZ9477 has been used for testing on net-next branch
(SHA1: 5fc68320c1fb3c7d456ddcae0b4757326a043e6f).

Ports 4/5 were used for SW managed HSR (hsr1) as first hsr0 for ports 1/2
(with HW offloading for ksz9477) was created. Port 3 has been used as
interlink port (single USB-ETH dongle).

Configuration - RedBox (EVB-KSZ9477):
if link set lan1 down;ip link set lan2 down
ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan1 slave2 lan2 supervision 45 version 1
ip link add name hsr1 type hsr slave1 lan4 slave2 lan5 interlink lan3 supervision 45 version 1
ip link set lan4 up;ip link set lan5 up
ip link set lan3 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.11/24 dev hsr1
ip link set hsr1 up

Configuration - DAN-H (EVB-KSZ9477):

ip link set lan1 down;ip link set lan2 down
ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan1 slave2 lan2 supervision 45 version 1
ip link add name hsr1 type hsr slave1 lan4 slave2 lan5 supervision 45 version 1
ip link set lan4 up;ip link set lan5 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.12/24 dev hsr1
ip link set hsr1 up

This approach uses only SW based HSR devices (hsr1).

--------------          -----------------       ------------
DAN-H  Port5 | <------> | Port5         |       |
       Port4 | <------> | Port4   Port3 | <---> | PC

bonding: Add independent control state machine

2024-02-06T12:17:54+00:00

Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE
802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the
coupled control state machine.

Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in
the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial
Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This
enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets
while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when
a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect.

Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and
bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting
and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to
disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses.

Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains
unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the
user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink
support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value
for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.

vxlan: add support for flowlabel inherit

2023-11-16T22:33:31+00:00

By default, VXLAN encapsulation over IPv6 sets the flow label to 0, with
an option for a fixed value. This commits add the ability to inherit the
flow label from the inner packet, like for other tunnel implementations.
This enables devices using only L3 headers for ECMP to correctly balance
VXLAN-encapsulated IPv6 packets.
