<id>35dfaad7188cdc043fde31709c796f5a692ba2bd</id>
<content type='text'>
This work adds a new, minimal BPF-programmable device called "netkit"
(former PoC code-name "meta") we recently presented at LSF/MM/BPF. The
core idea is that BPF programs are executed within the drivers xmit routine
and therefore e.g. in case of containers/Pods moving BPF processing closer
to the source.

One of the goals was that in case of Pod egress traffic, this allows to
move BPF programs from hostns tcx ingress into the device itself, providing
earlier drop or forward mechanisms, for example, if the BPF program
determines that the skb must be sent out of the node, then a redirect to
the physical device can take place directly without going through per-CPU
backlog queue. This helps to shift processing for such traffic from softirq
to process context, leading to better scheduling decisions/performance (see
measurements in the slides).

In this initial version, the netkit device ships as a pair, but we plan to
extend this further so it can also operate in single device mode. The pair
comes with a primary and a peer device. Only the primary device, typically
residing in hostns, can manage BPF programs for itself and its peer. The
peer device is designated for containers/Pods and cannot attach/detach
BPF programs. Upon the device creation, the user can set the default policy
to 'pass' or 'drop' for the case when no BPF program is attached.

Additionally, the device can be operated in L3 (default) or L2 mode. The
management of BPF programs is done via bpf_mprog, so that multi-attach is
supported right from the beginning with similar API and dependency controls
as tcx. For details on the latter see commit 053c8e1f235d ("bpf: Add generic
attach/detach/query API for multi-progs"). tc BPF compatibility is provided,
so that existing programs can be easily migrated.

Going forward, we plan to use netkit devices in Cilium as the main device
type for connecting Pods. They will be operated in L3 mode in order to
simplify a Pod's neighbor management and the peer will operate in default
drop mode, so that no traffic is leaving between the time when a Pod is
brought up by the CNI plugin and programs attached by the agent.
Additionally, the programs we attach via tcx on the physical devices are
using bpf_redirect_peer() for inbound traffic into netkit device, hence the
latter is also supporting the ndo_get_peer_dev callback. Similarly, we use
bpf_redirect_neigh() for the way out, pushing from netkit peer to phys device
directly. Also, BIG TCP is supported on netkit device. For the follow-up
work in single device mode, we plan to convert Cilium's cilium_host/_net
devices into a single one.

An extensive test suite for checking device operations and the BPF program
and link management API comes as BPF selftests in this series.

<title>net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / max learned FDB entries</title>

<id>ddd1ad68826d8ff61a2e47733959570aa4d39a16</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous patch added accounting and a limit for the number of
dynamically learned FDB entries per bridge. However it did not provide
means to actually configure those bounds or read back the count. This
patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the accounting and limit of
dynamically learned FDB entries:
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED (RO) for the number of entries accounted for
   a single bridge.
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED (RW) for the configured limit of entries for
   the bridge.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge fdb_max_learned 256
 # ip link add name v1 up master br type veth peer v2
 # ip link set up dev v2
 # mausezahn -a rand -c 1024 v2
 0.01 seconds (90877 packets per second
 # bridge fdb | grep -v permanent | wc -l
 256
 # ip -d link show dev br
 13: br: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 [...]
     [...] fdb_n_learned 256 fdb_max_learned 256

<title>netdev: expose DPLL pin handle for netdevice</title>

In case netdevice represents a SyncE port, the user needs to understand
the connection between netdevice and associated DPLL pin. There might me
multiple netdevices pointing to the same pin, in case of VF/SF
implementation.

Add a IFLA Netlink attribute to nest the DPLL pin handle, similar to
how it is implemented for devlink port. Add a struct dpll_pin pointer
to netdev and protect access to it by RTNL. Expose netdev_dpll_pin_set()
and netdev_dpll_pin_clear() helpers to the drivers so they can set/clear
the DPLL pin relationship to netdev.

Note that during the lifetime of struct dpll_pin the pin handle does not
change. Therefore it is save to access it lockless. It is drivers
responsibility to call netdev_dpll_pin_clear() before dpll_pin_put().

Add a new bridge port attribute that allows attaching a nexthop object
ID to an skb that is redirected to a backup bridge port with VLAN
tunneling enabled.

Specifically, when redirecting a known unicast packet, read the backup
nexthop ID from the bridge port that lost its carrier and set it in the
bridge control block of the skb before forwarding it via the backup
port. Note that reading the ID from the bridge port should not result in
a cache miss as the ID is added next to the 'backup_port' field that was
already accessed. After this change, the 'state' field still stays on
the first cache line, together with other data path related fields such
as 'flags and 'vlgrp':

struct net_bridge_port {
        struct net_bridge *        br;                   /*     0     8 */
        struct net_device *        dev;                  /*     8     8 */
        netdevice_tracker          dev_tracker;          /*    16     0 */
        struct list_head           list;                 /*    16    16 */
        long unsigned int          flags;                /*    32     8 */
        struct net_bridge_vlan_group * vlgrp;            /*    40     8 */
        struct net_bridge_port *   backup_port;          /*    48     8 */
        u32                        backup_nhid;          /*    56     4 */
        u8                         priority;             /*    60     1 */
        u8                         state;                /*    61     1 */
        u16                        port_no;              /*    62     2 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
[...]
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

When forwarding an skb via a bridge port that has VLAN tunneling
enabled, check if the backup nexthop ID stored in the bridge control
block is valid (i.e., not zero). If so, instead of attaching the
pre-allocated metadata (that only has the tunnel key set), allocate a
new metadata, set both the tunnel key and the nexthop object ID and
attach it to the skb.

By default, do not dump the new attribute to user space as a value of
zero is an invalid nexthop object ID.

The above is useful for EVPN multihoming. When one of the links
composing an Ethernet Segment (ES) fails, traffic needs to be redirected
towards the host via one of the other ES peers. For example, if a host
is multihomed to three different VTEPs, the backup port of each ES link
needs to be set to the VXLAN device and the backup nexthop ID needs to
point to an FDB nexthop group that includes the IP addresses of the
other two VTEPs. The VXLAN driver will extract the ID from the metadata
of the redirected skb, calculate its flow hash and forward it towards
one of the other VTEPs. If the ID does not exist, or represents an
invalid nexthop object, the VXLAN driver will drop the skb. This
relieves the bridge driver from the need to validate the ID.

If a packet needs to be encapsulated towards a local destination IP, the
packet will undergo a "local bypass" and be injected into the Rx path as
if it was received by the target VXLAN device without undergoing
encapsulation. If such a device does not exist, the packet will be
dropped.

There are scenarios where we do not want to perform such a bypass, but
instead want the packet to be encapsulated and locally received by a
user space program for post-processing.

To that end, add a new VXLAN device attribute that controls whether a
"local bypass" is performed or not. Default to performing a bypass to
maintain existing behavior.

<title>macvlan: Add netlink attribute for broadcast cutoff</title>

Make the broadcast cutoff configurable through netlink.  Note
that macvlan is weird because there is no central device for
us to configure (the lowerdev could be anything).  So all the
options are duplicated over what could be thousands of child
devices.

IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN took the approach of taking the maximum
of all child device settings.  This is unnecessary as we could
simply store the option in the port device and take the last
child device that gets updated as the value to use.

<title>net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / maximum MDB entries</title>

<id>a1aee20d5db29dc73331067b6a338eb650f0b5f1</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous patch added accounting for number of MDB entries per port and
per port-VLAN, and the logic to verify that these values stay within
configured bounds. However it didn't provide means to actually configure
those bounds or read the occupancy. This patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the MDB occupancy:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port occupancy and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN occupancy.
And another two for the maximum number of MDB entries:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port maximum, and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN one.

Note that the two new IFLA_BRPORT_ attributes prompt bumping of
RTNL_SLAVE_MAX_TYPE to size the slave attribute tables large enough.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 \
                                      mcast_vlan_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1
