gre/ipip: use be16 variants of netlink functions

2015-02-09T00:28:06+00:00

encap.sport and encap.dport are __be16, use nla_{get,put}_be16 instead
of nla_{get,put}_u16.

Fixes the sparse warnings:

warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
   expected restricted __be32 [addressable] [usertype] o_key
   got restricted __be16 [addressable] [usertype] i_flags
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)

tunnels: advertise link netns via netlink

2015-01-19T19:32:03+00:00

Implement rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net() callback so that IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is
added to rtnetlink messages.

gre: allow live address change

2014-12-31T19:18:28+00:00

The GRE tap device supports Ethernet over GRE, but doesn't
care about the source address of the tunnel, therefore it
can be changed without bring device down.

gre: fix the inner mac header in nbma tunnel xmit path

2014-12-15T16:46:04+00:00

The NBMA GRE tunnels temporarily push GRE header that contain the
per-packet NBMA destination on the skb via header ops early in xmit
path. It is the later pulled before the real GRE header is constructed.

The inner mac was thus set differently in nbma case: the GRE header
has been pushed by neighbor layer, and mac header points to beginning
of the temporary gre header (set by dev_queue_xmit).

Now that the offloads expect mac header to point to the gre payload,
fix the xmit patch to:
 - pull first the temporary gre header away
 - and reset mac header to point to gre payload

This fixes tso to work again with nbma tunnels.

net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support

2014-10-07T17:22:11+00:00

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

2014-10-02T01:35:51+00:00

Call skb_set_inner_protocol to set inner Ethernet protocol to
protocol being encapsulation by GRE before tunnel_xmit. This is
needed for GSO if UDP encapsulation (fou) is being done.

gre: Setup and TX path for gre/UDP foo-over-udp encapsulation

2014-09-19T21:15:32+00:00

Added netlink attrs to configure FOU encapsulation for GRE, netlink
handling of these flags, and properly adjust MTU for encapsulation.
ip_tunnel_encap is called from ip_tunnel_xmit to actually perform FOU
encapsulation.

gre: add x-netns support

2014-04-23T18:53:36+00:00

This patch allows to switch the netns when packet is encapsulated or
decapsulated. In other word, the encapsulated packet is received in a netns,
where the lookup is done to find the tunnel. Once the tunnel is found, the
packet is decapsulated and injecting into the corresponding interface which
stands to another netns.

When one of the two netns is removed, the tunnel is destroyed.
