<title>ipv4: route: Ignore output interface in FIB lookup for PMTU route</title>

<id>df23bb18b44b9a1f2b54358201730e710a9df57f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, processes sending traffic to a local bridge with an
encapsulation device as a port don't get ICMP errors if they exceed
the PMTU of the encapsulated link.

David Ahern suggested this as a hack, but it actually looks like
the correct solution: when we update the PMTU for a given destination
by means of updating or creating a route exception, the encapsulation
might trigger this because of PMTU discovery happening either on the
encapsulation device itself, or its lower layer. This happens on
bridged encapsulations only.

The output interface shouldn't matter, because we already have a
valid destination. Drop the output interface restriction from the
associated route lookup.

For UDP tunnels, we will now have a route exception created for the
encapsulation itself, with a MTU value reflecting its headroom, which
allows a bridge forwarding IP packets originated locally to deliver
errors back to the sending socket.

The behaviour is now consistent with IPv6 and verified with selftests
pmtu_ipv{4,6}_br_{geneve,vxlan}{4,6}_exception introduced later in
this series.

v2:
- reset output interface only for bridge ports (David Ahern)
- add and use netif_is_any_bridge_port() helper (David Ahern)

<title>rtnetlink: add support for protodown reason</title>
<updated>2020-08-01T01:49:16+00:00</updated>

<id>829eb208e80d6db95c0201cb8fa00c2f9ad87faf</id>
<content type='text'>
netdev protodown is a mechanism that allows protocols to
hold an interface down. It was initially introduced in
the kernel to hold links down by a multihoming protocol.
There was also an attempt to introduce protodown
reason at the time but was rejected. protodown and protodown reason
is supported by almost every switching and routing platform.
It was ok for a while to live without a protodown reason.
But, its become more critical now given more than
one protocol may need to keep a link down on a system
at the same time. eg: vrrp peer node, port security,
multihoming protocol. Its common for Network operators and
protocol developers to look for such a reason on a networking
box (Its also known as errDisable by most networking operators)

This patch adds support for link protodown reason
attribute. There are two ways to maintain protodown
reasons.
(a) enumerate every possible reason code in kernel
    - A protocol developer has to make a request and
      have that appear in a certain kernel version
(b) provide the bits in the kernel, and allow user-space
(sysadmin or NOS distributions) to manage the bit-to-reasonname
map.
	- This makes extending reason codes easier (kind of like
      the iproute2 table to vrf-name map /etc/iproute2/rt_tables.d/)

This patch takes approach (b).

a few things about the patch:
- It treats the protodown reason bits as counter to indicate
active protodown users
- Since protodown attribute is already an exposed UAPI,
the reason is not enforced on a protodown set. Its a no-op
if not used.
the patch follows the below algorithm:
  - presence of reason bits set indicates protodown
    is in use
  - user can set protodown and protodown reason in a
    single or multiple setlink operations
  - setlink operation to clear protodown, will return -EBUSY
    if there are active protodown reason bits
  - reason is not included in link dumps if not used

example with patched iproute2:
$cat /etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/r.conf
0 mlag
1 evpn
2 vrrp
3 psecurity

$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown on protodown_reason vrrp on
$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown_reason mlag on
$ip link show
14: vxlan0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether f6:06:be:17:91:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff protodown on &lt;mlag,vrrp&gt;

$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown_reason mlag off
$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown off protodown_reason vrrp off

There was also an attempt to introduce protodown
reason at the time but was rejected. protodown and protodown reason
is supported by almost every switching and routing platform.
It was ok for a while to live without a protodown reason.
But, its become more critical now given more than
one protocol may need to keep a link down on a system
at the same time. eg: vrrp peer node, port security,
multihoming protocol. Its common for Network operators and
protocol developers to look for such a reason on a networking
box (Its also known as errDisable by most networking operators)

This patch adds support for link protodown reason
attribute. There are two ways to maintain protodown
reasons.
(a) enumerate every possible reason code in kernel
    - A protocol developer has to make a request and
      have that appear in a certain kernel version
(b) provide the bits in the kernel, and allow user-space
(sysadmin or NOS distributions) to manage the bit-to-reasonname
map.
	- This makes extending reason codes easier (kind of like
      the iproute2 table to vrf-name map /etc/iproute2/rt_tables.d/)

This patch takes approach (b).

a few things about the patch:
- It treats the protodown reason bits as counter to indicate
active protodown users
- Since protodown attribute is already an exposed UAPI,
the reason is not enforced on a protodown set. Its a no-op
if not used.
the patch follows the below algorithm:
  - presence of reason bits set indicates protodown
    is in use
  - user can set protodown and protodown reason in a
    single or multiple setlink operations
  - setlink operation to clear protodown, will return -EBUSY
    if there are active protodown reason bits
  - reason is not included in link dumps if not used

example with patched iproute2:
$cat /etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/r.conf
0 mlag
1 evpn
2 vrrp
3 psecurity

$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown on protodown_reason vrrp on
$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown_reason mlag on
$ip link show
14: vxlan0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether f6:06:be:17:91:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff protodown on &lt;mlag,vrrp&gt;

$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown_reason mlag off
$ip link set dev vxlan0 protodown off protodown_reason vrrp off

<title>bpf, xdp: Remove XDP_QUERY_PROG and XDP_QUERY_PROG_HW XDP commands</title>

Now that BPF program/link management is centralized in generic net_device
code, kernel code never queries program id from drivers, so
XDP_QUERY_PROG/XDP_QUERY_PROG_HW commands are unnecessary.

This patch removes all the implementations of those commands in kernel, along
the xdp_attachment_query().

This patch was compile-tested on allyesconfig.

<title>bpf, xdp: Add bpf_link-based XDP attachment API</title>

Add bpf_link-based API (bpf_xdp_link) to attach BPF XDP program through
BPF_LINK_CREATE command.

bpf_xdp_link is mutually exclusive with direct BPF program attachment,
previous BPF program should be detached prior to attempting to create a new
bpf_xdp_link attachment (for a given XDP mode). Once BPF link is attached, it
can't be replaced by other BPF program attachment or link attachment. It will
be detached only when the last BPF link FD is closed.

bpf_xdp_link will be auto-detached when net_device is shutdown, similarly to
how other BPF links behave (cgroup, flow_dissector). At that point bpf_link
will become defunct, but won't be destroyed until last FD is closed.

<title>bpf, xdp: Maintain info on attached XDP BPF programs in net_device</title>

Instead of delegating to drivers, maintain information about which BPF
programs are attached in which XDP modes (generic/skb, driver, or hardware)
locally in net_device. This effectively obsoletes XDP_QUERY_PROG command.

Such re-organization simplifies existing code already. But it also allows to
further add bpf_link-based XDP attachments without drivers having to know
about any of this at all, which seems like a good setup.
XDP_SETUP_PROG/XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW are just low-level commands to driver to
install/uninstall active BPF program. All the higher-level concerns about
prog/link interaction will be contained within generic driver-agnostic logic.

All the XDP_QUERY_PROG calls to driver in dev_xdp_uninstall() were removed.
It's not clear for me why dev_xdp_uninstall() were passing previous prog_flags
when resetting installed programs. That seems unnecessary, plus most drivers
don't populate prog_flags anyways. Having XDP_SETUP_PROG vs XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW
should be enough of an indicator of what is required of driver to correctly
reset active BPF program. dev_xdp_uninstall() is also generalized as an
iteration over all three supported mode.

Cater to devices which:
 (a) may want to sleep in the callbacks;
 (b) only have IPv4 support;
 (c) need all the programming to happen while the netdev is up.

Drivers attach UDP tunnel offload info struct to their netdevs,
where they declare how many UDP ports of various tunnel types
they support. Core takes care of tracking which ports to offload.

Use a fixed-size array since this matches what almost all drivers
do, and avoids a complexity and uncertainty around memory allocations
in an atomic context.

Make sure that tunnel drivers don't try to replay the ports when
new NIC netdev is registered. Automatic replays would mess up
reference counting, and will be removed completely once all drivers
are converted.

v4:
 - use a #define NULL to avoid build issues with CONFIG_INET=n.
