ipv6: addrconf: implement address generation modes

2014-07-11T22:05:45+00:00

This patch introduces a possibility for userspace to set various (so far
two) modes of generating addresses. This is useful for example for
NetworkManager because it can set the mode to NONE and take care of link
local addresses itself. That allow it to have the interface up,
monitoring carrier but still don't have any addresses on it.

One more use-case by Dan Williams:

WWAN devices often have their LL address provided by the firmware of the
device, which sometimes refuses to respond to incorrect LL addresses
when doing DHCPv6 or IPv6 ND.  The kernel cannot generate the correct LL
address for two reasons:

1) WWAN pseudo-ethernet interfaces often construct a fake MAC address,
or read a meaningless MAC address from the firmware.  Thus the EUI64 and
the IPv6LL address the kernel assigns will be wrong.  The real LL
address is often retrieved from the firmware with AT or proprietary
commands.

2) WWAN PPP interfaces receive their LL address from IPV6CP, not from
kernel assignments.  Only after IPV6CP has completed do we know the LL
address of the PPP interface and its peer.  But the kernel has already
assigned an incorrect LL address to the interface.

So being able to suppress the kernel LL address generation and assign
the one retrieved from the firmware is less complicated and more robust.

vxlan: Add support for UDP checksums (v4 sending, v6 zero csums)

2014-06-05T05:46:39+00:00

Added VXLAN link configuration for sending UDP checksums, and allowing
TX and RX of UDP6 checksums.

Also, call common iptunnel_handle_offloads and added GSO support for
checksums.

net-next:v4: Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool.

2014-05-23T19:04:02+00:00

o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed
  to have a bandwidth of at least this value.
  max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth
  of up to this value.

o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced
  which takes 4 arguments:
  netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate

o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler.

o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call
  ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth
  greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet
  implemented by driver.

o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then,
  userland should read back the other value from driver and set both
  for IFLA_VF_RATE.
  Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always
  return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool.

o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then
  IFLA_VF_RATE should override.

o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user.

o Usage example: -

  ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900

  ./ip link show p4p1
  32: p4p1:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode

net-sysfs: expose number of carrier on/off changes

2014-03-31T20:24:52+00:00

This allows to monitor carrier on/off transitions and detect link
flapping issues:
 - new /sys/class/net/X/carrier_changes
 - new rtnetlink IFLA_CARRIER_CHANGES (getlink)

Tested:
  - grep . /sys/class/net/*/carrier_changes
    + ip link set dev X down/up
    + plug/unplug cable
  - updated iproute2: prints IFLA_CARRIER_CHANGES
  - iproute2 20121211-2 (debian): unchanged behavior

rtnetlink: provide api for getting and setting slave info

2014-01-23T05:57:05+00:00

Recent patch
bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev (1d3ee88ae0d6)

Introduced yet another device specific way to access slave information
over rtnetlink. There is one already there for bridge.

This patch introduces generic way to do this, for getting and setting
info as well by extending link_ops. Later on, this new interface will
be used for bridge ports as well.

If link is IFF_SLAVE, extend link dev netlink attributes to include

(RTM_NEWLINK) when slave status changes from backup to active, or

Adds new ndo_get_slave op to net_device_ops to fill skb with IFLA_SLAVE
attributes.  Currently only used by bonding driver, but could be
used by other aggregating devices with slaves.
