linux-stable.git/net/core/dev.h, branch v6.1.73 Linux kernel stable tree net: check for altname conflicts when changing netdev's netns 2023-10-25T10:03:08+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2023-10-18T01:38:14+00:00 673edcffa0960fc154085d639e10f80b6317d3bd commit 7663d522099ecc464512164e660bc771b2ff7b64 upstream. It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting with an altname or real name of another device by creating it in another netns and moving it over: [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy [ ~]$ ip netns add test [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1 [ ~]$ ip link ... 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ... 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname eth0 Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames.

commit 7663d522099ecc464512164e660bc771b2ff7b64 upstream.

It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting
with an altname or real name of another device by creating
it in another netns and moving it over:

 [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy

 [ ~]$ ip netns add test
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1

 [ ~]$ ip link
 ...
 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 ...
 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname eth0

Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes
it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames.
Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.

net: add skb_defer_max sysctl 2022-05-16T10:33:59+00:00 Eric Dumazet edumazet@google.com 2022-05-16T04:24:55+00:00 39564c3fdc6684c6726b63e131d2a9f3809811cb commit 68822bdf76f1 ("net: generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu cache of skbs. It was expected to be small, and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128 skbs. We might need to be able to control more precisely queue capacity and added latency. An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity. Default value of the new limit is 64. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We might need to be able to control more precisely
queue capacity and added latency.

An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity.

Default value of the new limit is 64.

net: extract a few internals from netdevice.h 2022-04-08T03:32:09+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2022-04-06T21:37:54+00:00 6264f58ca0e54e41d63c2d00334a48bac28fbf30 There's a number of functions and static variables used under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many reasons: - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out what the APIs are; - netdevice.h is very long; - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive incremental builds. Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations. The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's fine, if we create more specific headers people will likely over-think where their declaration fit best. And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again. More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small steps.
