<title>net-timestamp: allow reading recv cmsg on errqueue with origin tstamp</title>

<id>829ae9d611651467fe6cd7be834bd33ca6b28dfe</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow reading of timestamps and cmsg at the same time on all relevant
socket families. One use is to correlate timestamps with egress
device, by asking for cmsg IP_PKTINFO.

on AF_INET sockets, call the relevant function (ip_cmsg_recv). To
avoid changing legacy expectations, only do so if the caller sets a
new timestamping flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_CMSG.

on AF_INET6 sockets, IPV6_PKTINFO and all other recv cmsg are already
returned for all origins. only change is to set ifindex, which is
not initialized for all error origins.

In both cases, only generate the pktinfo message if an ifindex is
known. This is not the case for ACK timestamps.

The difference between the protocol families is probably a historical
accident as a result of the different conditions for generating cmsg
in the relevant ip(v6)_recv_error function:

ipv4:        if (serr-&gt;ee.ee_origin == SO_EE_ORIGIN_ICMP) {
ipv6:        if (serr-&gt;ee.ee_origin != SO_EE_ORIGIN_LOCAL) {

At one time, this was the same test bar for the ICMP/ICMP6
distinction. This is no longer true.

Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn &lt;willemb@google.com&gt;

----

Changes
  v1 -&gt; v2
    large rewrite
    - integrate with existing pktinfo cmsg generation code
    - on ipv4: only send with new flag, to maintain legacy behavior
    - on ipv6: send at most a single pktinfo cmsg
    - on ipv6: initialize fields if not yet initialized

The recv cmsg interfaces are also relevant to the discussion of
whether looping packet headers is problematic. For v6, cmsgs that
identify many headers are already returned. This patch expands
that to v4. If it sounds reasonable, I will follow with patches

1. request timestamps without payload with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY
   (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/366967/)
2. sysctl to conditionally drop all timestamps that have payload or
   cmsg from users without CAP_NET_RAW.

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.

Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

<title>ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.</title>

This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.

This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.

The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.

(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.

RX processing is simple and all multicast, broadcast (if
applicable), and unicast belonging to the address(es) are
delivered to the virtual devices.

(b) L3 mode : In this mode, the device behaves like a L3 device.
TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched to the
main-device (default-ns) for the L2 processing. Hence the routing
table of the default-ns will be used in this mode.

RX processins is somewhat similar to the L2 mode except that in
this mode only Unicast packets are delivered to the virtual device
while main-dev will handle all other packets.

The devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2
package -

	ip link add link &lt;master&gt; &lt;virtual&gt; type ipvlan mode [ l2 | l3 ]
