to select a socket.
This avoids having to keep adding special case fanout modes. One

Also add socket option SOL_PACKET/PACKET_FANOUT_DATA that updates data

We already have IFLA_IPTUN_ netlink attributes. The IP_TUN_ attributes look
very similar, yet they serve very different purpose. This is confusing for
anyone trying to implement a user space tool supporting lwt.
As the IP_TUN_ attributes are used only for the lightweight tunnels, prefix
them with LWTUNNEL_IP_ instead to make their purpose clear. Also, it's more
logical to have them in lwtunnel.h together with the encap enum.

and if there is no phy node configured returns an error code. This error
code is assigned to phy_interface, and interpreted elsewhere in the code
as valid phy mode. This in turn causes qemu to crash when running a

====================
net: introduce IFF_NO_QUEUE as successor of zero tx_queue_len
This series adds a new private net_device flag indicating that a device may
(and probably should) be used without a queueing discipline attached to it.
This is already common practice for many virtual device types like e.g.
loopback, VLAN (802.1Q) or bridges (802.1D). The reason for this is that these
devices lack an underlying layer which could impose back pressure and therefore
making a TX queue necessary to not slow down senders.
Up to now, drivers being aware of the above applying to them set
dev->tx_queue_len to zero to indicate no qdisc should be attached to the
interface they drive and the kernel reacts upon this by assigning the noop
qdisc instead of the default pfifo_fast. This implicit agreement though leads
to an inconvenient situation once a user tries to attach a real qdisc to these
devices, as the formerly special tx_queue_len value becomes a regular one,
limiting the queue to zero packets and thus prevents any TX from happening. To
overcome this, practically all qdisc implementations intercept and sanitize the
malicious value.
With this series applied, drivers may signal the lack of need for a qdisc
without having to tamper with tx_queue_len, making fallbacks in qdiscs and
caveats in userspace unnecessary.
Upon upstream acceptance, this series will be followed up by a set of patches
converting device drivers, adding a warning so out-of-tree driver authors get
aware of this change and dropping all special handling of tx_queue_len in
net/sched/.

So far the mcast tvlv handler did not anticipate the processing of
multiple incoming OGMs from the same originator at the same time. This
can lead to various issues:
* Broken refcounting: For instance two mcast handlers might both assume
that an originator just got multicast capabilities and will together
wrongly decrease mcast.num_disabled by two, potentially leading to
an integer underflow.
* Potential kernel panic on hlist_del_rcu(): Two mcast handlers might
one after another try to do an
hlist_del_rcu(&orig->mcast_want_all_*_node). The second one will
cause memory corruption / crashes.
(Reported by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>)
Right in the beginning the code path makes assumptions about the current
multicast related state of an originator and bases all updates on that. The
easiest and least error prune way to fix the issues in this case is to
serialize multiple mcast handler invocations with a spinlock.

====================
VRF-lite - v6
In the context of internet scale routing a requirement that always comes
up is the need to partition the available routing tables into disjoint
routing planes. A specific use case is the multi-tenancy problem where
each tenant has their own unique routing tables and in the very least
need different default gateways.
This patch allows the ability to create virtual router domains (aka VRFs
(VRF-lite to be specific) in the linux packet forwarding stack. The main
observation is that through the use of rules and socket binding to interfaces,
all the facilities that we need are already present in the infrastructure. What
is missing is a handle that identifies a routing domain and can be used to
gather applicable rules/tables and uniqify neighbor selection. The scheme used
needs to preserves the notions of ECMP, and general routing principles.
This driver is a cross between functionality that the IPVLAN driver
and the Team drivers provide where a device is created and packets
into/out of the routing domain are shuttled through this device. The
device is then used as a handle to identify the applicable rules. The
VRF device is thus the layer3 equivalent of a vlan device.
The very important point to note is that this is only a Layer3 concept
so L2 tools (e.g., LLDP) do not need to be run in each VRF, processes can
run in unaware mode or select a VRF to be talking through. Also the
behavioral model is a generalized application of the familiar VRF-Lite
model with some performance paths that need optimization. (Specifically
the output route selector that Roopa, Robert, Thomas and EricB are
currently discussing on the MPLS thread)
High Level points
=================
1. Simple overlay driver (minimal changes to current stack)
* uses the existing fib tables and fib rules infrastructure
2. Modelled closely after the ipvlan driver
3. Uses current API and infrastructure.
* Applications can use SO_BINDTODEVICE or cmsg device indentifiers
to pick VRF (ping, traceroute just work)
* Standard IP Rules work, and since they are aggregated against the
device, scale is manageable
4. Completely orthogonal to Namespaces and only provides separation in
the routing plane (and ARP)

functions working would be

ip link add vrf2 type vrf table 6
Install the lookup rules that map table to VRF domain
ip rule add pref 200 oif vrf1 lookup 5
ip rule add pref 200 iif vrf1 lookup 5
ip rule add pref 200 oif vrf2 lookup 6
ip rule add pref 200 iif vrf2 lookup 6
ip link set vrf1 up
ip link set vrf2 up
Enslave the routing member interfaces
ip link set swp1 master vrf1
ip link set swp2 master vrf1
ip link set swp3 master vrf2
ip link set swp4 master vrf2
Connected and local routes are automatically moved from main and local
tables to the VRF table.
ping using VRF0 is simply
ping -I vrf0 10.0.1.2
Design Highlights
=================
If a device is enslaved to a VRF device (ie., associated with a VRF)
then:
1. Rx path
The master device index is used as the iif for all lookups.
2. Tx path
Similarly, for Tx the VRF device oif is used in the flow to direct
lookups to the table associated with the VRF via its rule. From there
the FLOWI_FLAG_VRFSRC flag is used to indicate that the oif should
not be used for FIB table lookups.
3. Connected and local routes
On link up for a device, connected and local routes are added to the
table associated with the VRF device, rather than the local and main
tables.
4. Socket lookups
Sockets operating in the VRF must be bound to the VRF device. As such
socket lookups compare the VRF device index to sk_bound_dev_if.
5. Neighbor entries
Neighbor entries are not impacted by the VRF device. Entries are
associated with a particular interface; the VRF association is indirect
via the interface-to-VRF device enslavement.
Version 6
- addressed comments from DaveM
- added patch to properly set oif in ip_send_unicast_reply. Needs to be
set to VRF device for proper FIB lookup
- added patch to handle IP fragments
Version 5
- dropped patch regarding socket lookups; no longer needed
+ removed vrf helpers no longer needed after this patch is dropped
- removed dev_open and close operations
+ no need to reset vrf data on an ifdown and creates problems if a
slave is deleted while the vrf interface is down (Thanks, Nikolay)
- cleanups for sparse warnings
+ make C=2 is now clean for vrf driver
Version 4
- builds are clean with and without VRF device enabled (no, yes and module)
- tightened the driver implementation
+ device add/delete, slave add/remove, and module unload are all clean
- fixed RCU references
+ with RCU and lock debugging enabled changes are clean through the
suite of tests
- TX path uses custom dst, so patch refactoring rtable allocation is
dropped along with the patch adding rt_nexthop helper
- dropped the task patch that adds default bind to interface for sockets
and the associated chvrf example command
+ the patches are a convenience for running unmodified code. They
are not needed for the core functionality. Any application with
support for SO_BINDTODEVICE works properly with this patch set.
Version 3
- addressed comments from first 2 RFCs with the exception of the name
Nicolas: We will do the name conversion once we agree on what the
correct name should be (vrf, mrf or something else)
- packets flow through the VRF device in both directions allowing the
following:
- tcpdump -i vrf<n>
- tc rules on vrf device
- netfilter rules on vrf device
TO-DO
=====
1. IPv6
2. ipsec, xfrms
- dst patch accepted into ipsec-next; will post VRF patch once merge happens
3. listen filter to allow 1 socket to work with multiple VRF devices
- i.e., bind to VRF's a, b, c only or NOT VRFs e, f, g
Eric B:
I have ipsec working with VRFs implemented using the VRF driver,
including the worst case scenario of complete duplication in the
networking config.
Thanks to Nikolay for his many, many code reviews whipping the device
driver into shape, and bug-Fixes and ideas from Hannes, Roopa Prabhu,
Jon Toppins, Jamal.
