<id>5c72299fba9df407c2f2994e194edebf878996ee</id>
<content type='text'>
Added support in tc flower for filtering based on port ranges.

Example:
1. Match on a port range:
-------------------------
$ tc filter add dev enp4s0 protocol ip parent ffff:\
  prio 1 flower ip_proto tcp dst_port range 20-30 skip_hw\
  action drop

$ tc -s filter show dev enp4s0 parent ffff:
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
  eth_type ipv4
  ip_proto tcp
  dst_port range 20-30
  skip_hw
  not_in_hw
        action order 1: gact action drop
         random type none pass val 0
         index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 85 sec used 3 sec
        Action statistics:
        Sent 460 bytes 10 pkt (dropped 10, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
        backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

2. Match on IP address and port range:
--------------------------------------
$ tc filter add dev enp4s0 protocol ip parent ffff:\
  prio 1 flower dst_ip 192.168.1.1 ip_proto tcp dst_port range 100-200\
  skip_hw action drop

$ tc -s filter show dev enp4s0 parent ffff:
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x2
  eth_type ipv4
  ip_proto tcp
  dst_ip 192.168.1.1
  dst_port range 100-200
  skip_hw
  not_in_hw
        action order 1: gact action drop
         random type none pass val 0
         index 2 ref 1 bind 1 installed 58 sec used 2 sec
        Action statistics:
        Sent 920 bytes 20 pkt (dropped 20, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
        backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

v4:
1. Added condition before setting port key.
2. Organized setting and dumping port range keys into functions
   and added validation of input range.

v3:
1. Moved new fields in UAPI enum to the end of enum.
2. Removed couple of empty lines.

v2:
Addressed Jiri's comments:
1. Added separate functions for dst and src comparisons.
2. Removed endpoint enum.
3. Added new bit TCA_FLOWER_FLAGS_RANGE to decide normal/range
  lookup.
4. Cleaned up fl_lookup function.

<title>net/sched: allow flower to match tunnel options</title>

<id>0a6e77784f490912d81b92cfd48424541c04691e</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow matching on options in Geneve tunnel headers.
This makes use of existing tunnel metadata support.

The options can be described in the form
CLASS:TYPE:DATA/CLASS_MASK:TYPE_MASK:DATA_MASK, where CLASS is
represented as a 16bit hexadecimal value, TYPE as an 8bit
hexadecimal value and DATA as a variable length hexadecimal value.

e.g.
 # ip link add name geneve0 type geneve dstport 0 external
 # tc qdisc add dev geneve0 ingress
 # tc filter add dev geneve0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
     flower \
       enc_src_ip 10.0.99.192 \
       enc_dst_ip 10.0.99.193 \
       enc_key_id 11 \
       geneve_opts 0102:80:1122334421314151/ffff:ff:ffffffffffffffff \
       ip_proto udp \
       action mirred egress redirect dev eth1

This patch adds support for matching Geneve options in the order
supplied by the user. This leads to an efficient implementation in
the software datapath (and in our opinion hardware datapaths that
offload this feature). It is also compatible with Geneve options
matching provided by the Open vSwitch kernel datapath which is
relevant here as the Flower classifier may be used as a mechanism
to program flows into hardware as a form of Open vSwitch datapath
offload (sometimes referred to as OVS-TC). The netlink
Kernel/Userspace API may be extended, for example by adding a flag,
if other matching options are desired, for example matching given
options in any order. This would require an implementation in the
TC software datapath. And be done in a way that drivers that
facilitate offload of the Flower classifier can reject or accept
such flows based on hardware datapath capabilities.

This approach was discussed and agreed on at Netconf 2017 in Seoul.

<title>net/sched: user-space can't set unknown tcfa_action values</title>

<id>802bfb19152c0fb4137c6ba72bcf042ee023e743</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when initializing an action, the user-space can specify
and use arbitrary values for the tcfa_action field. If the value
is unknown by the kernel, is implicitly threaded as TC_ACT_UNSPEC.

This change explicitly checks for unknown values at action creation
time, and explicitly convert them to TC_ACT_UNSPEC. No functional
changes are introduced, but this will allow introducing tcfa_action
values not exposed to user-space in a later patch.

Note: we can't use the above to hide TC_ACT_REDIRECT from user-space,
as the latter is already part of uAPI.

v3 -&gt; v4:
 - use an helper to check for action validity (JiriP)
 - emit an extack for invalid actions (JiriP)
v4 -&gt; v5:
 - keep messages on a single line, drop net_warn (Marcelo)

<title>sched: cls: enable verbose logging</title>

<id>81c7288b170a59d01427fa33d6591da1dbf59277</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when the rule is not to be exclusively executed by the
hardware, extack is not passed along and offloading failures don't
get logged. The idea was that hardware failures are okay because the
rule will get executed in software then and this way it doesn't confuse
unware users.

But this is not helpful in case one needs to understand why a certain
rule failed to get offloaded. Considering it may have been a temporary
failure, like resources exceeded or so, reproducing it later and knowing
that it is triggering the same reason may be challenging.

The ultimate goal is to improve Open vSwitch debuggability when using
flower offloading.

This patch adds a new flag to enable verbose logging. With the flag set,
extack will be passed to the driver, which will be able to log the
error. As the operation itself probably won't fail (not because of this,
at least), current iproute will already log it as a Warning.

The flag is generic, so it can be reused later. No need to restrict it
just for HW offloading. The command line will follow the syntax that
tc-ebpf already uses, tc ... [ verbose ] ... , and extend its meaning.

For example:
# ./tc qdisc add dev p7p1 ingress
# ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \
	flower verbose \
	src_mac ed:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \
	src_ip 56.0.0.0 dst_ip 55.0.0.0 action drop
Warning: TC offload is disabled on net device.
# echo $?
0
# ./tc filter add dev p7p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \
	flower \
	src_mac ff:13:db:00:00:00 dst_mac 01:80:c2:00:00:d0 \
	src_ip 56.0.0.0 dst_ip 55.0.0.0 action drop

The commit a new tc ematch for using netfilter xtable matches.

This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic
based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions.

Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec
state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension
(xt_policy).

The module dynamically fetches the netfilter match module and calls
it using a fake xt_action_param structure based on validated userspace
provided parameters.

As the xt_policy match does not access skb-&gt;data, no skb modifications
are needed on match.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license</title>

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
