2017-02-06	bridge: fdb: write to used and updated at most once per jiffy	Nikolay Aleksandrov	2	-2/+4
	Writing once per jiffy is enough to limit the bridge's false sharing. After this change the bridge doesn't show up in the local load HitM stats. Suggested-by: David S.

2017-02-06	bridge: move write-heavy fdb members in their own cache line	Nikolay Aleksandrov	1	-4/+6
	Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The "used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it). The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

2017-02-06	bridge: move to workqueue gc	Nikolay Aleksandrov	10	-23/+29
	Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10 milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

2017-02-06	bridge: modify bridge and port to have often accessed fields in one cache line	Nikolay Aleksandrov	1	-23/+20
	Move around net_bridge so the vlan fields are in the beginning since they're checked on every packet even if vlan filtering is disabled. For the port move flags & vlan group to the beginning, so they're in the same cache line with the port's state (both flags and state are checked on each packet).

2017-02-06	net: remove ndo_neigh_{construct, destroy} from stacked devices	Ido Schimmel	1	-2/+0
	In commit 18bfb924f000 ("net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy ndo calls for L2 upper devices") we added these ndos to stacked devices such as team and bond, so that calls will be propagated to mlxsw. However, previous commit removed the reliance on these ndos and no new users of these ndos have appeared since above mentioned commit. We can therefore safely remove this dead code.

2017-02-03	Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nf-next	David S. Miller	3	-32/+49
	Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, they are: 1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal. 2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user() as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace. 3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces. Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued, let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek. 4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti. 5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal. 6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian. 7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and nft_meta, from Liping Zhang. 8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when used by the netdev family, also from Liping. 9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng. 10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however, results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t type, from David Windsor. 11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp, from Davide Caratti. 12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang. 13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-02-03	bridge: per vlan dst_metadata netlink support	Roopa Prabhu	7	-48/+641
	This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure. The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic to extend to any tunnel_info in the future: - Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data - netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping - Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default. - changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code - I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files. - most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable. Use case: example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show relevant fdb entries): example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001 before (netdev per vni): $bridge fdb show \| grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev): $bridge fdb show \| grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self CC: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-02-02	netfilter: allow logging from non-init namespaces	Michal Kubeček	1	-1/+1
	Commit 69b34fb996b2 ("netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support for xt_LOG") disabled logging packets using the LOG target from non-init namespaces. The motivation was to prevent containers from flooding kernel log of the host. The plan was to keep it that way until syslog namespace implementation allows containers to log in a safe way. However, the work on syslog namespace seems to have hit a dead end somewhere in 2013 and there are users who want to use xt_LOG in all network namespaces. This patch allows to do so by setting /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log_all_netns to a nonzero value. This sysctl is only accessible from init_net so that one cannot switch the behaviour from inside a container.
