2015-07-11net: switchdev: don't abort unsupported operationsVivien Didelot1-4/+8
There is no need to abort attribute setting or object addition, if the prepare phase returned operation not supported. Thus, abort these two transactions only if the error is not -EOPNOTSUPP.

2015-06-24net: switchdev: ignore unsupported bridge flagsVivien Didelot1-1/+1
switchdev_port_bridge_getlink() queries SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes, but a driver doesn't need to implement this in order to get bridge link information. So error out only on errors different than -EOPNOTSUPP. (This is a follow-up patch for 7d4f8d8.)

2015-06-23switchdev: change BUG_ON to WARN for attr set failure caseScott Feldman1-1/+2
This particular BUG_ON condition was checking for attr set err in the COMMIT phase, which isn't expected (it's a driver bug if PREPARE phase is OK but COMMIT fails). But BUG_ON() is too strong for this case, so change to WARN(). BUG_ON() would be warranted if the system was corrupted beyond repair, but this is not the case here.

2015-06-23switchdev; add VLAN support for port's bridge_getlinkScott Feldman1-1/+122
One more missing piece of the puzzle. Add vlan dump support to switchdev port's bridge_getlink. iproute2 "bridge vlan show" cmd already knows how to show the vlans installed on the bridge and the device , but (until now) no one implemented the port vlan part of the netlink PF_BRIDGE:RTM_GETLINK msg. Before this patch, "bridge vlan show": $ bridge -c vlan show port vlan ids sw1p1 30-34 << bridge side vlans 57 sw1p1 << device side vlans (missing) sw1p2 57 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4 br0 None (When the port is bridged, the output repeats the vlan list for the vlans on the bridge side of the port and the vlans on the device side of the port. The listing above show no vlans for the device side even though they are installed). After this patch: $ bridge -c vlan show port vlan ids sw1p1 30-34 << bridge side vlan 57 sw1p1 30-34 << device side vlans 57 3840 PVID sw1p2 57 sw1p2 57 3840 PVID sw1p3 3842 PVID sw1p4 3843 PVID br0 None I re-used ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink to add vlan fill call-back func. switchdev support adds an obj dump for VLAN objects, using the same call-back scheme as FDB dump.

Fix a BUG_ON() where CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is set but the driver for a bridged port does not support switchdev_port_attr_set op. Don't BUG_ON() if -EOPNOTSUPP is returned.

2015-06-10switchdev: fix handling for drivers not supporting IPv4 fib add/del opsScott Feldman1-2/+2
If CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is enabled, but port driver does not implement support for IPv4 FIB add/del ops, don't fail route add/del offload operations. Route adds will not be marked as OFFLOAD. Routes will be installed in the kernel FIB, as usual. This was report/fixed by Florian when testing DSA driver with net-next on devices with L2 offload support but no L3 offload support. What he reported was an initial route installed from DHCP client would fail (route not installed to kernel FIB). This was triggering the setting of ipv4.fib_offload_disabled, which would disable route offloading after the first failure. So subsequent attempts to install the route would succeed. There is follow-on work/discussion to address the handling of route install failures, but for now, let's differentiate between no support and failed support.

2015-05-12switchdev: add new switchdev bridge setlinkScott Feldman1-11/+140
Add new switchdev_port_bridge_setlink that can be used by drivers implementing .ndo_bridge_setlink to set switchdev bridge attributes. Basically turn the raw rtnl_bridge_setlink netlink into switchdev attr sets. Proper netlink attr policy checking is done on the protinfo part of the netlink msg. Currently, for protinfo, only bridge port attrs BR_LEARNING and BR_LEARNING_SYNC are parsed and passed to port driver. For afspec, VLAN objs are passed so switchdev driver can set VLANs assigned to SELF. To illustrate with iproute2 cmd, we have: bridge vlan add vid 10 dev sw1p1 self master To add VLAN 10 to port sw1p1 for both the bridge (master) and the device (self).

2015-05-12switchdev: convert STP update to switchdev attr setScott Feldman1-28/+0
STP update is just a settable port attribute, so convert switchdev_port_stp_update to an attr set. For DSA, the prepare phase is skipped and STP updates are only done in the commit phase. This is because currently the DSA drivers don't need to allocate any memory for STP updates and the STP update will not fail to HW (unless something horrible goes wrong on the MDIO bus, in which case the prepare phase wouldn't have been able to predict anyway).

Note: for sysfs and netlink interfaces, SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_PARENT_ID is called with SWITCHDEV_F_NO_RECUSE to limit switch ID user-visiblity to only port netdevs. So when a port is stacked under bond/bridge, the user can only query switch id via the switch ports, but not via the upper devices Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-05-12switchdev: introduce get/set attrs opsScott Feldman1-0/+169
Add two new swdev ops for get/set switch port attributes. Most swdev interactions on a port are gets or sets on port attributes, so rather than adding ops for each attribute, let's define clean get/set ops for all attributes, and then we can have clear, consistent rules on how attributes propagate on stacked devs. Add the basic algorithms for get/set attr ops. Use the same recusive algo to walk lower devs we've used for STP updates, for example. For get, compare attr value for each lower dev and only return success if attr values match across all lower devs. For sets, set the same attr value for all lower devs. We'll use a two-phase prepare-commit transaction model for sets. In the first phase, the driver(s) are asked if attr set is OK. If all OK, the commit attr set in second phase. A driver would NACK the prepare phase if it can't set the attr due to lack of resources or support, within it's control. RTNL lock must be held across both phases because we'll recurse all lower devs first in prepare phase, and then recurse all lower devs again in commit phase. If any lower dev fails the prepare phase, we need to abort the transaction for all lower devs. If lower dev recusion isn't desired, allow a flag SWITCHDEV_F_NO_RECURSE to indicate get/set only work on port (lowest) device.

2015-03-06fib: hook IPv4 fib for hardware offloadScott Feldman1-2/+26
Call into the switchdev driver any time an IPv4 fib entry is added/modified/deleted from the kernel's FIB. The switchdev driver may or may not install the route to the offload device. In the case where the driver tries to install the route and something goes wrong (device's routing table is full, etc), then all of the offloaded routes will be flushed from the device, route forwarding falls back to the kernel, and no more routes are offloading. We can refine this logic later. For now, use the simplist model of offloading routes up to the point of failure, and then on failure, undo everything and mark IPv4 offloading disabled.

Currently, there is no support for route's nexthops spanning offloaded and non-offloaded devices, or spanning ports of multiple offload devices. Since switch device ports may be stacked under virtual interfaces (bonds and/or bridges), and the route's nexthop may be on the virtual interface, the wrapper will traverse the nexthop dev down to the base dev.
