  • c66ebf2db   net: dcb: set error code on failures ... Browse Code »

    In function dcbnl_cee_fill(), returns the value of variable err on
    errors. However, on some error paths (e.g. nla put fails), its value may
    be 0. It may be better to explicitly set a negative errno to variable
    err before returning.

  • 36b9ad808   net/dcb: make dcbnl.c explicitly non-modular ... Browse Code »

    The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

    net/dcb/Kconfig:config DCB
    net/dcb/Kconfig: bool "Data Center Bridging support"

    ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

    Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
    when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

    Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
    case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. We can
    change to one of the other priority initcalls (subsys?) at any later
    date, if desired.

    We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
    is (or is now) already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

    As specified in 802.1Qau spec. Add this optional attribute to the
    DCB netlink layer. To allow for application to use the new attribute,
    NIC drivers should implement and register the callbacks ieee_getqcn,
    ieee_setqcn and ieee_getqcnstats.

    The QCN attribute holds a set of parameters for management, and
    a set of statistics to provide informative data on Congestion-Control
    defined by this spec.

  • 52cff74ee   dcbnl : Disable software interrupts before taking dcb_lock ... Browse Code »

    Solves possible lockup issues that can be seen from firmware DCB agents calling
    into the DCB app api.

    DCB firmware event queues can be tied in with NAPI so that dcb events are
    generated in softIRQ context. This can results in calls to dcb_*app()
    functions which try to take the dcb_lock.

    If the the event triggers while we also have the dcb_lock because lldpad or
    some other agent happened to be issuing a get/set command we could see a cpu
    lockup.

    This code was not originally written with firmware agents in mind, hence
    grabbing dcb_lock from softIRQ context was not considered.

  • 16eecd9be   dcbnl : Fix misleading dcb_app->priority explanation ... Browse Code »

    Current explanation of dcb_app->priority is wrong. It says priority is
    expected to be a 3-bit unsigned integer which is only true when working with
    DCBx-IEEE. Use of dcb_app->priority by DCBx-CEE expects it to be 802.1p user
    priority bitmap. Updated accordingly

    This affects the cxgb4 driver, but I will post those changes as part of a
    larger changeset shortly.

  • 90f62cf30   net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages ... Browse Code »

    It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
    executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
    data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
    privileged executable did not intend to do.

    To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
    with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
    Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
    opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

    The following call chain indicates that dcb_doit() is protected
    under rtnl_lock. So if we use __dev_get_by_name() instead of
    dev_get_by_name() to find interface handlers in it, this would
    help us avoid to change interface reference counter.

  • 29cd8ae0e   dcbnl: fix various netlink info leaks ... Browse Code »

    The dcb netlink interface leaks stack memory in various places:
    * perm_addr[] buffer is only filled at max with 12 of the 32 bytes but
    copied completely,
    * no in-kernel driver fills all fields of an IEEE 802.1Qaz subcommand,
    so we're leaking up to 58 bytes for ieee_ets structs, up to 136 bytes
    for ieee_pfc structs, etc.,
    * the same is true for CEE -- no in-kernel driver fills the whole
    struct,

    Prevent all of the above stack info leaks by properly initializing the
    buffers/structures involved.

    - In rtnetlink_rcv_msg convert the capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check
    to ns_capable(net->user-ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN). Allowing unprivileged
    users to make netlink calls to modify their local network
    namespace.

    - In the rtnetlink doit methods add capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) so
    that calls that are not safe for unprivileged users are still
    protected.

    Later patches will remove the extra capable calls from methods
    that are safe for unprivilged users.

    It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
    process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
    that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

    I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
    userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

  • 081579840   net: dcb: add CEE notify calls ... Browse Code »

    This adds code to trigger CEE events when an APP change or setall
    command is made from user space. This simplifies user space code
    significantly by creating a single interface to listen on that
    works with both firmware and userland agents.

    And if we end up with multiple agents this keeps every thing in
    sync userland agents, firmware agents, and kernel notifier consumers.

    For an example agent that listens for these events see:

    https://github.com/jrfastab/cgdcbxd

    cgdcbxd is a daemon used to monitor DCB netlink events and manage
    the net_prio control group sub-system.

    Although not specified in 8021Qaz spec, it could be useful to enable drivers
    whose HW supports setting a rate limit for an ETS TC. This patch adds this
    optional attribute to DCB netlink. To use it, drivers should implement and
    register the callbacks ieee_setmaxrate and ieee_getmaxrate. The units are 64
    bits long and specified in Kbps to enable usage over both slow and very fast
    networks.

    message is identical to the aggregated CEE get operation and holds all

  • 37cf4d1a9   dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operation ... Browse Code »

    The following couple of patches add dcbnl an unsolicited notification of
    the the DCB configuration for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. This
    is useful when the user-mode DCB client is not responsible for
    conducting and resolving the DCBX negotiation (either because the DCBX
    stack is embedded in the HW or the negotiation is handled by another
    agent in the host), but still needs to get the negotiated parameters.
    This functionality already exists for the IEEE flavor of the DCBX
    protocol and these patches add it to the older CEE flavor.

    The first patch extends the CEE attribute GET operation to include not
    only the peer information, but also all the pertinent local
    configuration (negotiated parameters). The second patch adds and export
    a CEE specific notification routine.
