if_link: Add an additional parameter to ifla_vf_info for RSS querying

2015-04-11T04:57:22Z

Add configuration setting for drivers to allow/block an RSS Redirection Table and a Hash Key querying for discrete VFs. On some devices VF share the mentioned above information with PF and querying it may adduce a theoretical security risk. We want to let a system administrator to decide if he/she wants to take this risk or not. Signed-off-by: Vlad Zolotarov Tested-by: Phil Schmitt Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ipv6: generation of stable privacy addresses for link-local and autoconf

2015-03-24T02:12:08Z

This patch implements the stable privacy address generation for link-local and autoconf addresses as specified in RFC7217. RID = F(Prefix, Net_Iface, Network_ID, DAD_Counter, secret_key) is the RID (random identifier). As the hash function F we chose one round of sha1. Prefix will be either the link-local prefix or the router advertised one. As Net_Iface we use the MAC address of the device. DAD_Counter and secret_key are implemented as specified. We don't use Network_ID, as it couples the code too closely to other subsystems. It is specified as optional in the RFC. As Net_Iface we only use the MAC address: we simply have no stable identifier in the kernel we could possibly use: because this code might run very early, we cannot depend on names, as they might be changed by user space early on during the boot process. A new address generation mode is introduced, IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY. With iproute2 one can switch back to none or eui64 address configuration mode although the stable_secret is already set. We refuse writes to ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret but only allow ipv6/conf/default/stable_secret and the interface specific file to be written to. The default stable_secret is used as the parameter for the namespace, the interface specific can overwrite the secret, e.g. when switching a network configuration from one system to another while inheriting the secret.

net: add support for phys_port_name

2015-03-19T02:30:35Z

Similar to port id allow netdevices to specify port names and export the name via sysfs. Drivers can implement the netdevice operation to assist udev in having sane default names for the devices using the rule: $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{phys_port_name}!="", NAME="$attr{phys_port_name}" Use of phys_name versus phys_id was suggested-by Jiri Pirko.

bridge: Extend Proxy ARP design to allow optional rules for Wi-Fi

2015-03-05T19:52:23Z

This extends the design in commit 958501163ddd ("bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be configured from user space when required. In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames. The key differences in functionality: BR_PROXYARP: - uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was received to determine whether to reply - block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP BR_PROXYARP_WIFI: - uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the request belongs - block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp functionality replied Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: David S.

vxlan: Use checksum partial with remote checksum offload

2015-02-11T23:12:13Z

Change remote checksum handling to set checksum partial as default behavior. Added an iflink parameter to configure not using checksum partial (calling csum_partial to update checksum). Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnl: add link netns id to interface messages

2015-01-19T19:21:26Z

This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link' netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels). With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vxlan: Group Policy extension

2015-01-15T06:11:41Z

Implements supports for the Group Policy VXLAN extension [0] to provide a lightweight and simple security label mechanism across network peers based on VXLAN. The security context and associated metadata is mapped to/from skb->mark. This allows further mapping to a SELinux context using SECMARK, to implement ACLs directly with nftables, iptables, OVS, tc, etc. The group membership is defined by the lower 16 bits of skb->mark, the upper 16 bits are used for flags. SELinux allows to manage label to secure local resources. However, distributed applications require ACLs to implemented across hosts. This is typically achieved by matching on L2-L4 fields to identify the original sending host and process on the receiver. On top of that, netlabel and specifically CIPSO [1] allow to map security contexts to universal labels. However, netlabel and CIPSO are relatively complex. This patch provides a lightweight alternative for overlay network environments with a trusted underlay. No additional control protocol is required. Host 1: Host 2: Group A Group B Group B Group A +-----+ +-------------+ +-------+ +-----+ | lxc | | SELinux CTX | | httpd | | VM | +--+--+ +--+----------+ +---+---+ +--+--+ \---+---/ \----+---/ | | +---+---+ +---+---+ | vxlan | | vxlan | +---+---+ +---+---+ +------------------------------+ Backwards compatibility: A VXLAN-GBP socket can receive standard VXLAN frames and will assign the default group 0x0000 to such frames. A Linux VXLAN socket will drop VXLAN-GBP frames. The extension is therefore disabled by default and needs to be specifically enabled: ip link add [...] type vxlan [...] gbp In a mixed environment with VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP sockets, the GBP socket must run on a separate port number.

vxlan: Remote checksum offload

2015-01-14T20:20:04Z

Add support for remote checksum offload in VXLAN. This uses a reserved bit to indicate that RCO is being done, and uses the low order reserved eight bits of the VNI to hold the start and offset values in a compressed manner. Start is encoded in the low order seven bits of VNI. This is start >> 1 so that the checksum start offset is 0-254 using even values only. Checksum offset (transport checksum field) is indicated in the high order bit in the low order byte of the VNI. If the bit is set, the checksum field is for UDP (so offset = start + 6), else checksum field is for TCP (so offset = start + 16). Only TCP and UDP are supported in this implementation. Remote checksum offload for VXLAN is described in: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-vxlan-rco-00 Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections with VXLAN (over IPv4).
