net: Add l3mdev rule

2016-06-08T18:36:02+00:00

Currently, VRFs require 1 oif and 1 iif rule per address family per VRF. As the number of VRF devices increases it brings scalability issues with the increasing rule list. All of the VRF rules have the same format with the exception of the specific table id to direct the lookup. Since the table id is available from the oif or iif in the loopup, the VRF rules can be consolidated to a single rule that pulls the table from the VRF device. This patch introduces a new rule attribute l3mdev. The l3mdev rule means the table id used for the lookup is pulled from the L3 master device (e.g., VRF) rather than being statically defined. With the l3mdev rule all of the basic VRF FIB rules are reduced to 1 l3mdev rule per address family (IPv4 and IPv6). If an admin wishes to insert higher priority rules for specific VRFs those rules will co-exist with the l3mdev rule. This capability means current VRF scripts will co-exist with this new simpler implementation. Currently, the rules list for both ipv4 and ipv6 look like this: $ ip ru ls 1000: from all oif vrf1 lookup 1001 1000: from all iif vrf1 lookup 1001 1000: from all oif vrf2 lookup 1002 1000: from all iif vrf2 lookup 1002 1000: from all oif vrf3 lookup 1003 1000: from all iif vrf3 lookup 1003 1000: from all oif vrf4 lookup 1004 1000: from all iif vrf4 lookup 1004 1000: from all oif vrf5 lookup 1005 1000: from all iif vrf5 lookup 1005 1000: from all oif vrf6 lookup 1006 1000: from all iif vrf6 lookup 1006 1000: from all oif vrf7 lookup 1007 1000: from all iif vrf7 lookup 1007 1000: from all oif vrf8 lookup 1008 1000: from all iif vrf8 lookup 1008 ... 32765: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default With the l3mdev rule the list is just the following regardless of the number of VRFs: $ ip ru ls 1000: from all lookup [l3mdev table] 32765: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default (Note: the above pretty print of the rule is based on an iproute2 prototype.

ipv6: fix the incorrect return value of throw route

2015-10-23T09:38:18+00:00

The error condition -EAGAIN, which is signaled by throw routes, tells the rules framework to walk on searching for next matches. If the walk ends and we stop walking the rules with the result of a throw route we have to translate the error conditions to -ENETUNREACH.

net: ipv6: use common fib_default_rule_pref

2015-09-09T21:19:50+00:00

This switches IPv6 policy routing to use the shared fib_default_rule_pref() function of IPv4 and DECnet. It is also used in multicast routing for IPv4 as well as IPv6. The motivation for this patch is a complaint about iproute2 behaving inconsistent between IPv4 and IPv6 when adding policy rules: Formerly, IPv6 rules were assigned a fixed priority of 0x3FFF whereas for IPv4 the assigned priority value was decreased with each rule added. Since then all users of the default_pref field have been converted to assign the generic function fib_default_rule_pref(), fib_nl_newrule() may just use it directly instead. Therefore get rid of the function pointer altogether and make fib_default_rule_pref() static, as it's not used outside fib_rules.c anymore. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/cmd.c net/core/fib_rules.c net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c The fib_rules.c and fib_frontend.c conflicts were locking adjustments in 'net' overlapping addition and removal of code in 'net-next'. The mlx4 conflict was a bug fix in 'net' happening in the same place a constant was being replaced with a more suitable macro. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: move fib_rules_unregister() under rtnl lock

2015-04-03T00:52:34+00:00

We have to hold rtnl lock for fib_rules_unregister() otherwise the following race could happen: fib_rules_unregister(): fib_nl_delrule(): ... ... ... ops = lookup_rules_ops(); list_del_rcu(&ops->list); list_for_each_entry(ops->rules) { fib_rules_cleanup_ops(ops); ... list_del_rcu(); list_del_rcu(); } Note, net->rules_mod_lock is actually not needed at all, either upper layer netns code or rtnl lock guarantees we are safe.

netlink: implement nla_get_in_addr and nla_get_in6_addr

netlink: implement nla_put_in_addr and nla_put_in6_addr

2015-03-31T17:58:35+00:00

IP addresses are often stored in netlink attributes. Add generic functions to do that. For nla_put_in_addr, it would be nicer to pass struct in_addr but this is not used universally throughout the kernel, in way too many places __be32 is used to store IPv4 address.

fib6: install fib6 ops in the last step

ipv6: fix backtracking for throw routes

2015-03-20T16:57:23+00:00

for throw routes to trigger evaluation of other policy rules EAGAIN needs to be propagated up to fib_rules_lookup similar to how its done for IPv4 A simple testcase for verification is: ip -6 rule add lookup 33333 priority 33333 ip -6 route add throw 2001:db8::1 ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 via fe80::1 dev wlan0 table 33333 ip route get 2001:db8::1 Signed-off-by: Steven Barth Signed-off-by: David S.
