2018-01-05xdp: base API for new XDP rx-queue info conceptJesper Dangaard Brouer
This patch only introduce the core data structures and API functions. All XDP enabled drivers must use the API before this info can used. There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP frames have arrived on. For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side. Instead of extending xdp_buff each time new info is needed, the patch creates a separate read-mostly struct xdp_rxq_info, that contains this info. We stress this data/cache-line is for read-only info. This is NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases. The performance advantage is this info can be setup at RX-ring init time, instead of updating N-members in xdp_buff. A possible (driver level) micro optimization is that xdp_buff->rxq assignment could be done once per XDP/NAPI loop. The extra pointer deref only happens for program needing access to this info (thus, no slowdown to existing use-cases).

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-08-03net: core: Make the FIB notification chain genericIdo Schimmel
The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code. However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which requires these notification as well. As explained in commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or rules occurs. In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace. Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so that listeners could distinguish between the different families. Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent patches will implement these operations in IPv6. In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these notifications as well.

2016-12-02bpf: BPF for lightweight tunnel infrastructureThomas Graf
Registers new BPF program types which correspond to the LWT hooks: - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_IN => dst_input() - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_OUT => dst_output() - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_XMIT => lwtunnel_xmit() The separate program types are required to differentiate between the capabilities each LWT hook allows: * Programs attached to dst_input() or dst_output() are restricted and may only read the data of an skb. This prevent modification and possible invalidation of already validated packet headers on receive and the construction of illegal headers while the IP headers are still being assembled. * Programs attached to lwtunnel_xmit() are allowed to modify packet content as well as prepending an L2 header via a newly introduced helper bpf_skb_change_head(). This is safe as lwtunnel_xmit() is invoked after the IP header has been assembled completely. All BPF programs receive an skb with L3 headers attached and may return one of the following error codes: BPF_OK - Continue routing as per nexthop BPF_DROP - Drop skb and return EPERM BPF_REDIRECT - Redirect skb to device as per redirect() helper. (Only valid in lwtunnel_xmit() context) The return codes are binary compatible with their TC_ACT_ relatives to ease compatibility.

2016-02-16net: add dst_cache supportPaolo Abeni
This patch add a generic, lockless dst cache implementation. The need for lock is avoided updating the dst cache fields only in per cpu scope, and requiring that the cache manipulation functions are invoked with the local bh disabled. The refresh_ts and reset_ts fields are used to ensure the cache consistency in case of cuncurrent cache update (dst_cache_set*) and reset operation (dst_cache_reset). Consider the following scenario: CPU1: CPU2: <cache lookup with emtpy cache: it fails> <get dst via uncached route lookup> <related configuration changes> dst_cache_reset() dst_cache_set() The dst entry set passed to dst_cache_set() should not be used for later dst cache lookup, because it's obtained using old configuration values. Since the refresh_ts is updated only on dst_cache lookup, the cached value in the above scenario will be discarded on the next lookup.

2016-01-04soreuseport: define reuseport groupsCraig Gallek
struct sock_reuseport is an optional shared structure referenced by each socket belonging to a reuseport group. When a socket is bound to an address/port not yet in use and the reuseport flag has been set, the structure will be allocated and attached to the newly bound socket. When subsequent calls to bind are made for the same address/port, the shared structure will be updated to include the new socket and the newly bound socket will reference the group structure. Usually, when an incoming packet was destined for a reuseport group, all sockets in the same group needed to be considered before a dispatching decision was made. With this structure, an appropriate socket can be found after looking up just one socket in the group. This shared structure will also allow for more complicated decisions to be made when selecting a socket (eg a BPF filter). This work is based off a similar implementation written by Ying Cai <ycai@google.com> for implementing policy-based reuseport selection.

2014-04-01net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own fileDaniel Borkmann
This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio later on. - By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of functionality built when compiled as module. cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan.

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

This infrastructure is: - Registration functions to support initializing per network namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed. - struct net. The network namespace data structure. This structure will grow as variables are made per network namespace but this is the minimal starting point. - Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace. I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace from being freed. And hold/release functions serve as weak references and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure is freed. Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures like the ipv4 route cache. - A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them. - A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks to be spotted.

2005-08-29[NETFILTER]: split net/core/netfilter.c into net/netfilter/*.cHarald Welte
This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/ directory. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-06-18[NET] Generalise tcp_listen_optArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This chunks out the accept_queue and tcp_listen_opt code and moves them to net/core/request_sock.c and include/net/request_sock.h, to make it useful for other transport protocols, DCCP being the first one to use it. Next patches will rename tcp_listen_opt to accept_sock and remove the inline tcp functions that just call a reqsk_queue_ function.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
