If an entire multipath route is deleted using prefix and len (without any
nexthops), send a single RTM_DELROUTE notification with the full route
using RTA_MULTIPATH. This is done by generating the skb before the route
delete when all of the sibling routes are still present but sending it
after the route has been removed from the FIB. The skip_notify flag
is used to tell the lower fib code not to send notifications for the
individual nexthop routes.
If a route is deleted using RTA_MULTIPATH for any nexthops or a single
nexthop entry is deleted, then the nexthops are deleted one at a time with
notifications sent as each hop is deleted. This is necessary given that
IPv6 allows individual hops within a route to be deleted.

Change ip6_route_multipath_add to send one notifciation with the full
route encoded with RTA_MULTIPATH instead of a series of individual routes.
This is done by adding a skip_notify flag to the nl_info struct. The
flag is used to skip sending of the notification in the fib code that
actually inserts the route. Once the full route has been added, a
notification is generated with all nexthops.
ip6_route_multipath_add handles 3 use cases: new routes, route replace,
and route append. The multipath notification generated needs to be
consistent with the order of the nexthops and it should be consistent
with the order in a FIB dump which means the route with the first nexthop
needs to be used as the route reference. For the first 2 cases (new and
replace), a reference to the route used to send the notification is
obtained by saving the first route added. For the append case, the last
route added is used to loop back to its first sibling route which is
the first nexthop in the multipath route.

IPv6 returns multipath routes as a series of individual routes making
their display and handling by userspace different and more complicated
than IPv4, putting the burden on the user to see that a route is part of
a multipath route and internally creating a multipath route if desired
(e.g., libnl does this as of commit 29b71371e764). This patch addresses
this difference, allowing multipath routes to be returned using the
RTA_MULTIPATH attribute.
The end result is that IPv6 multipath routes can be treated and displayed
in a format similar to IPv4:
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:200::/120 metric 1024

nexthop via 2001:db8:2::2 dev eth2 weight 1

IPv4 allows multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix and
length. For example:
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
1.1.1.0/24
nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1
nexthop via 10.11.200.2 dev eth11.200 weight 1
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
$ ip ro del 1.1.1.0/24 vrf red
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
The same notation does not work with IPv6 because of how multipath routes
are implemented for IPv6. For IPv6 only the first nexthop of a multipath
route is deleted if the request contains only a prefix and length. This
leads to unnecessary complexity in userspace dealing with IPv6 multipath
routes.
This patch allows all nexthops to be deleted without specifying each one
in the delete request. Internally, this is done by walking the sibling
list of the route matching the specifications given (prefix, length,
metric, protocol, etc).
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:1::2 dev eth1 metric 1024 pref medium
2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:2::2 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium
...
$ ip -6 ro del vrf red 2001:db8:200::/120
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
...
Because IPv6 allows individual nexthops to be deleted without deleting
the entire route, the ip6_route_multipath_del and non-multipath code
path (ip6_route_del) have to be discriminated so that all nexthops are
only deleted for the latter case. This is done by making the existing
fc_type in fib6_config a u16 and then adding a new u16 field with
fc_delete_all_nh as the first bit.

Since commit 364b6055738b ("net: busy-poll: return busypolling status to

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-02-03
This series contains updates to i40e/i40evf only.
Jake fixes up the driver to not call i40e_vsi_kill_vlan() or
i40e_vsi_add_vlan() when the PVID is set or when the VID is less than 1.
Cleaned up a check which really is not needed since there is no real
reason why we cannot just call i40e_del_mac_all_vlan() directly. Renamed
functions to better reflect their actual purpose and how they function
in a more clear manner.
Bimmy cleans up unused/deprecated macros.
Mitch cleans up unused device ids which were intended for use when
running Linux VF drivers under Hyper-V, but found to be not needed.
Then cleaned up a function that is no longer needed since the client
open and close functions were refactored. Adds a sleep without timeout
until the reply from the PF driver has been received since the iWARP
client cannot continue until the operation has been completed.
Tushar Dave fixes an issue seen on SPARC where the use of the 'packed'
directive was causing kernel unaligned errors.
Alex does a refactor to pull some data off of the stack and store it
in the transmit buffer info section of the transmit ring.
Alan fixes a bug which was caused by passing a bad register value to the
firmware, by refactoring the macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG into a static
inline function. Also added feedback to the user as to the actual
interrupt rate limit being used when it differs from the requested limit.

1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from
sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack
hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal.
2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables

helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user()
as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables

the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace.
3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable
logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces.
Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued,
let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging
facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek.
4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti.
5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly
a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal.
6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian.
7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and
nft_meta, from Liping Zhang.
8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when
used by the netdev family, also from Liping.
9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from
the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects
and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng.
10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however,
results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t
type, from David Windsor.
11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp,

mlxsw: Introduce TC Flower offload using TCAM
This patchset introduces support for offloading TC cls_flower and actions
to Spectrum TCAM-base policy engine.
The patchset contains patches to allow work with flexible keys and actions
which are used in Spectrum TCAM.
It also contains in-driver infrastructure for offloading TC rules to TCAM HW.
The TCAM management code is simple and limited for now. It is going to be

The last patch uses the previously introduced infra to allow to implement
cls_flower offloading. Initially, only limited set of match-keys and only
a drop and forward actions are supported.
As a dependency, this patchset introduces parman - priority array

Add ACL core infrastructure for Spectrum ASIC. This infra provides an
abstraction layer over specific HW implementations. There are two basic
objects used. One is "rule" and the second is "ruleset" which serves as a
container of multiple rules. In general, within one ruleset the rules are
allowed to have multiple priorities and masks. Each ruleset is bound to
either ingress or egress a of port netdevice.

Hardware supports matching on so called "flexible keys". The idea is to
assemble an optimal key to use for matching according to the fields in
packet (elements) requested by user. Certain sets of elements are
combined into pre-defined blocks. There is a picker to find needed blocks.
Keys consist of 1..n blocks.
Alongside with that, an initial portion of elements is introduced in order
to be able to offload basic cls_flower rules.
Picked keys are cached so multiple rules could share them.
There is an encode function provided that takes care of encoding key and
mask values according to given key.

Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem :
I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback.
This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket,
however the receiving side is a user space application so does not
have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that
sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the
assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do
retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same
reason.
It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc
in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense
on the receive path.

====================
bridge: per vlan dst_metadata support
High level summary:
lwt and dst_metadata have enabled vxlan l3 deployments
to use a single vxlan netdev for multiple vnis eliminating the scalability
problem with using a single vxlan netdev per vni. This series tries to
do the same for vxlan netdevs in pure l2 bridged networks.
Use-case/deployment and details are below.
Deployment scerario details:
As we know VXLAN is used to build layer 2 virtual networks across the
underlay layer3 infrastructure. A VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP)
originates and terminates VXLAN tunnels. And a VTEP can be a TOR switch
or a vswitch in the hypervisor. This patch series mainly
focuses on the TOR switch configured as a Vtep. Vxlan segment ID (vni)
along with vlan id is used to identify layer 2 segments in a vxlan
overlay network. Vxlan bridging is the function provided by Vteps to terminate
vxlan tunnels and map the vxlan vni to traditional end host vlan. This is
covered in the "VXLAN Deployment Scenarios" in sections 6 and 6.1 in RFC 7348.
To provide vxlan bridging function, a vtep has to map vlan to a vni. The rfc
says that the ingress VTEP device shall remove the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in
the original Layer 2 packet if there is one before encapsulating the packet
into the VXLAN format to transmit it through the underlay network. The remote
VTEP devices have information about the VLAN in which the packet will be
placed based on their own VLAN-to-VXLAN VNI mapping configurations.
Existing solution:
Without this patch series one can deploy such a vtep configuration by
adding the local ports and vxlan netdevs into a vlan filtering bridge.
The local ports are configured as trunk ports carrying all vlans.
A vxlan netdev per vni is added to the bridge. Vlan mapping to vni is
achieved by configuring the vlan as pvid on the corresponding vxlan netdev.
The vxlan netdev only receives traffic corresponding to the vlan it is mapped
to. This configuration maps traffic belonging to a vlan to the corresponding
vxlan segment.

| bridge |
| |
-----------------------------------
|100,200 |100 (pvid) |200 (pvid)
| | |
swp1 vxlan1000 vxlan2000
This provides the required vxlan bridging function but poses a
scalability problem with using a separate vxlan netdev for each vni.
Solution in this patch series:
The Goal is to use a single vxlan device to carry all vnis similar
to the vxlan collect metadata mode but additionally allowing the bridge
and vxlan driver to carry all the forwarding information and also learn.
This implementation uses the existing dst_metadata infrastructure to map
vlan to a tunnel id.
- vxlan driver changes:
- enable collect metadata mode to be used with learning,
replication and fdb
- A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni)
- rx path already has the vni
- tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata and relies
on learnt or static forwarding information table to forward the packet
- Bridge driver changes: per vlan dst_metadata support:
- Our use case is vxlan and 1-1 mapping between vlan and vni, but I have
kept the api generic for any tunnel info
- Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data
- new bridge port flag to turn this feature on/off. off by default
- ingress hook:
- if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info in
attached dst_metadata to map it to a local vlan
- egress hook:
- if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info attached to vlan
to set dst_metadata on the skb
Other approaches tried and vetoed:
- tc vlan push/pop and tunnel metadata dst:
- though tc can be used to do part of this, these patches address a deployment
case where bridge driver vlan filtering and forwarding information
database along with vxlan driver forwarding information table and learning
are required.
- making vxlan driver understand vlan-vni mapping:
- I had a series almost ready with this one but soon realized
it duplicated a lot of vlan handling code in the vxlan driver

This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst
metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info
at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure.
The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic
to extend to any tunnel_info in the future:
- Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data
- netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping
- Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach
dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default.
- changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan
handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code
- I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files.
- most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid
ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space
vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable.
Use case:
example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis).
iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and
vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001
before (netdev per vni):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self
after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge

New nested netlink attribute to associate tunnel info per vlan.
This is used by bridge driver to send tunnel metadata to
bridge ports in vlan tunnel mode. This patch also adds new per
port flag IFLA_BRPORT_VLAN_TUNNEL to enable vlan tunnel mode.

One example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). User can configure
per-vlan tunnel information which the bridge driver can use
to bridge vlan into the corresponding vn-segment.

Vxlan COLLECT_METADATA mode today solves the per-vni netdev
scalability problem in l3 networks. It expects all forwarding
information to be present in dst_metadata. This patch series
enhances collect metadata mode to include the case where only
vni is present in dst_metadata, and the vxlan driver can then use
the rest of the forwarding information datbase to make forwarding
decisions. There is no change to default COLLECT_METADATA
behaviour. These changes only apply to COLLECT_METADATA when
used with the bridging use-case with a special dst_metadata
tunnel info flag (eg: where vxlan device is part of a bridge).
For all this to work, the vxlan driver will need to now support a
single fdb table hashed by mac + vni. This series essentially makes
this happen.
use-case and workflow:
vxlan collect metadata device participates in bridging vlan
to vn-segments. Bridge driver above the vxlan device,
sends the vni corresponding to the vlan in the dst_metadata.
vxlan driver will lookup forwarding database with (mac + vni)
for the required remote destination information to forward the
packet.
Changes introduced by this patch:
- allow learning and forwarding database state in vxlan netdev in
COLLECT_METADATA mode. Current behaviour is not changed
by default. tunnel info flag IP_TUNNEL_INFO_BRIDGE is used
to support the new bridge friendly mode.
- A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni) to allow fdb entries with
multiple vnis in the same fdb table
- rx path already has the vni
- tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata
- prior to this series, fdb remote_dsts carried remote vni and
the vxlan device carrying the fdb table represented the
source vni. With the vxlan device now representing multiple vnis,
this patch adds a src vni attribute to the fdb entry. The remote
vni already uses NDA_VNI attribute. This patch introduces
NDA_SRC_VNI netlink attribute to represent the src vni in a multi
vni fdb table.
iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's.

Yotam Gigi says:
====================
Extract IFE logic to module
Extract ife logic from the tc_ife action into an independent module, and
make the tc_ife action use it. This way, the ife encapsulation can be used
by other modules other than tc_ife action.
v1->v2:
Fix duplicate symbol error by introducing a new patch that makes the
original symbol static.
The symbol ife_tlv_meta_extract is exported in act_ife, though not being
used by any other module. As the symbol is being moved to the new ife
module, introducing the new module creates duplicate symbol. To fix it,
add a new patch (1/3) that makes the ife_tlv_meta_extract symbol static in
act_ife, thus the symbol does not collide.

Use the encode/decode functionality from the ife module instead of using
implementation inside the act_ife.

This module is responsible for the ife encapsulation protocol
encode/decode logics. That module can:
- ife_encode: encode skb and reserve space for the ife meta header
- ife_decode: decode skb and extract the meta header size
- ife_tlv_meta_encode - encodes one tlv entry into the reserved ife
header space.
- ife_tlv_meta_decode - decodes one tlv entry from the packet
- ife_tlv_meta_next - advance to the next tlv

As the function ife_tlv_meta_encode is not used by any other module,
unexport it and make it static for the act_ife module.
