Bonding: add per-port priority for failover re-selection

2022-06-24T10:27:59+00:00

Add per port priority support for bonding active slave re-selection during
failover. A higher number means higher priority in selection. The primary
slave still has the highest priority. This option also follows the
primary_reselect rules.

This option could only be configured via netlink.

net: add IFLA_TSO_{MAX_SIZE|SEGS} attributes

2022-05-16T09:18:55+00:00

New netlink attributes IFLA_TSO_MAX_SIZE and IFLA_TSO_MAX_SEGS
are used to report to user-space the device TSO limits.

bonding: add new option ns_ip6_target

2022-02-21T12:13:45+00:00

This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond
to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS
request to determine the health of the link.

For other related options like the validation, we still use
arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later.

Note: the sysfs configuration support was removed based on

gro: add ability to control gro max packet size

2022-01-06T12:27:05+00:00

Eric Dumazet suggested to allow users to modify max GRO packet size.

We have seen GRO being disabled by users of appliances (such as
wifi access points) because of claimed bufferbloat issues,
or some work arounds in sch_cake, to split GRO/GSO packets.

Instead of disabling GRO completely, one can chose to limit
the maximum packet size of GRO packets, depending on their
latency constraints.

This patch adds a per device gro_max_size attribute
that can be changed with ip link command.

ip link set dev eth0 gro_max_size 16000

Bonding: add arp_missed_max option

2021-11-30T12:15:58+00:00

Currently, we use hard code number to verify if we are in the
arp_interval timeslice. But some user may want to reduce/extend
the verify timeslice. With the similar team option 'missed_max'
the uers could change that number based on their own environment.

ipv6: add IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to expose mtu value

2021-08-28T00:29:18+00:00

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu"
file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last
received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the
interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations:

(1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net//mtu) is
updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu) will
be updated to the value of interface mtu;
(2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//mtu) only affect
ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4.

Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message,
there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain
RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6.

After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option,
you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK,
and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to
get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the
inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification
when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll.

In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from
the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are
different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value
and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device
can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

bonding: add new option lacp_active

2021-08-03T10:50:22+00:00

Add an option lacp_active, which is similar with team's runner.active.
This option specifies whether to send LACPDU frames periodically. If set
on, the LACPDU frames are sent along with the configured lacp_rate
setting. If set off, the LACPDU frames acts as "speak when spoken to".

Note, the LACPDU state frames still will be sent when init or unbind port.

macvlan: Support for high multicast packet rate

2020-12-03T16:21:29+00:00

Background:
Broadcast and multicast packages are enqueued for later processing.
This queue was previously hardcoded to 1000.

This proved insufficient for handling very high packet rates.
This resulted in packet drops for multicast.
While at the same time unicast worked fine.

The change:
This patch make the queue length adjustable to accommodate
for environments with very high multicast packet rate.
But still keeps the default value of 1000 unless specified.

The queue length is specified as a request per macvlan
using the IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN parameter.

The actual used queue length will then be the maximum of
any macvlan connected to the same port. The actual used
queue length for the port can be retrieved (read only)
by the IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN_USED parameter for verification.

This will be followed up by a patch to iproute2
in order to adjust the parameter from userspace.
