bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave

2017-07-08T10:23:29+00:00

As Hongjun/Nicolas summarized in their original patch:

"
When a device changes from one netns to another, it's first unregistered,
then the netns reference is updated and the dev is registered in the new
netns. Thus, when a slave moves to another netns, it is first
unregistered. This triggers a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event which is caught by
the bonding driver. The driver calls bond_release(), which calls
dev_set_mtu() and thus triggers NETDEV_CHANGEMTU (the device is still in
the old netns).
"

This is a very special case, because the device is being unregistered
no one should still care about the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event triggered
at this point, we can avoid broadcasting this event on this path,
and avoid touching inetdev_event()/addrconf_notify() path.

It requires to export __dev_set_mtu() to bonding driver.

net: Remove ndo_dfwd_start_xmit

2017-06-25T15:56:30+00:00

Looks like commit f663dd9aaf9e ("net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding")
has removed the need for this dedicated xmit function [it even explicitly
states so in its commit log message] but it hasn't removed the definition
of the ndo.

xdp: add reporting of offload mode

2017-06-23T17:42:20+00:00

Extend the XDP_ATTACHED_* values to include offloaded mode.
Let drivers report whether program is installed in the driver
or the HW by changing the prog_attached field from bool to
u8 (type of the netlink attribute).

Exploit the fact that the value of XDP_ATTACHED_DRV is 1,
therefore since all drivers currently assign the mode with
double negation:
       mode = !!xdp_prog;
no drivers have to be modified.

xdp: add HW offload mode flag for installing programs

2017-06-23T17:42:19+00:00

Add an installation-time flag for requesting that the program
be installed only if it can be offloaded to HW.

Internally new command for ndo_xdp is added, this way we avoid
putting checks into drivers since they all return -EINVAL on
an unknown command.

Expose prog_id through IFLA_XDP_PROG_ID.  This patch

prog_id is added to struct net_dev_xdp.

iproute2 patch will be followed. Here is how the 'ip link'
