net: rtnetlink: support for fdb get

2018-12-16T22:42:34+00:00

This patch adds support for fdb get similar to
route get. arguments can be any of the following (similar to fdb add/del/dump):
[bridge, mac, vlan] or
[bridge_port, mac, vlan, flags=[NTF_MASTER]] or
[dev, mac, [vni|vlan], flags=[NTF_SELF]]

net: dev: Issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

When a device address is about to be changed, or an address added to the
list of device HW addresses, it is necessary to ensure that all
interested parties can support the address. Therefore, send the
NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR notification, and if anyone bails on it, do not
change the address.

net: dev: Add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

The NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification is emitted after a device address
changes. Extending this message to allow vetoing is certainly possible,
but several other notification types have instead adopted a simple
two-stage approach: first a "pre" notification is sent to make sure all
interested parties are OK with a change that's about to be done. Then
the change is done, and afterwards a "post" notification is sent.

This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing
has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back.
Therefore adopt it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well.

To that end, add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR and an info structure to go along
with it.

net: dev: Add extack argument to dev_set_mac_address()

2018-12-14T02:41:38+00:00

A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which
allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that
notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this
function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the
notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be
communicated back to the user.

net: ndo_bridge_setlink: Add extack

2018-12-13T00:34:21+00:00

Drivers may not be able to implement a VLAN addition or reconfiguration.
In those cases it's desirable to explain to the user that it was
rejected (and why).

To that end, add extack argument to ndo_bridge_setlink. Adapt all users
to that change.

Following patches will use the new argument in the bridge driver.

net: core: dev: Add extack argument to __dev_change_flags()

2018-12-06T21:26:07+00:00

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. The last missing API is __dev_change_flags().

Therefore extend __dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and
update the two existing users.

Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the struct
net_device argument to placate checkpatch.

several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available.

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-11-26

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Extend BTF to support function call types and improve the BPF
   symbol handling with this info for kallsyms and bpftool program
   dump to make debugging easier, from Martin and Yonghong.

2) Optimize LPM lookups by making longest_prefix_match() handle
   multiple bytes at a time, from Eric.

3) Adds support for loading and attaching flow dissector BPF progs
   from bpftool, from Stanislav.

4) Extend the sk_lookup() helper to be supported from XDP, from Nitin.

5) Enable verifier to support narrow context loads with offset > 0
   to adapt to LLVM code generation (currently only offset of 0 was
   supported). Add test cases as well, from Andrey.

6) Simplify passing device functions for offloaded BPF progs by
   adding callbacks to bpf_prog_offload_ops instead of ndo_bpf.
   Also convert nfp and netdevsim to make use of them, from Quentin.

7) Add support for sock_ops based BPF programs to send events to
   the perf ring-buffer through perf_event_output helper, from
   Sowmini and Daniel.

8) Add read / write support for skb->tstamp from tc BPF and cg BPF
   programs to allow for supporting rate-limiting in EDT qdiscs
   like fq from BPF side, from Vlad.

9) Extend libbpf API to support map in map types and add test cases
   for it as well to BPF kselftests, from Nikita.

10) Account the maximum packet offset accessed by a BPF program in
    the verifier and use it for optimizing nfp JIT, from Jiong.

11) Fix error handling regarding kprobe_events in BPF sample loader,
    from Daniel T.

12) Add support for queue and stack map type in bpftool, from David.
