[net-next PATCH v1 0/7] Managing the forwarding database(FDB)

[John Fastabend]

The following series is a submission for net-next to allow
embedded switches and other stacked devices other then the
Linux bridge to manage a forwarding database.

This was previously posted here (where it was deferred for
more review and testing)

http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2012/03/19/26

This series adds macvlan support per discussions with Roopa
and Michael. Also ixgbe was updated to support adding multicast
addresses per request from Greg Rose.

Finally cleanups in the generic dump routines were added
for multicast to support ixgbe and macvlan use cases.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful review and comments. As
always any comments/feedback welcome.

.John

[net-next PATCH v1 1/7] net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooks

[John Fastabend]

This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can
now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should
be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master'
device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge,
or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command
will be handled by the master device as well so that current user
space tools continue to work as expected.

The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the
device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed
and programmed in the embedded bridge.

Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the
command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows
user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge
in sync.

To support this new net device ops were added to call into
the device and the existing bridging code was refactored
to use these. There should be no required changes in user space
to support the current bridge behavior.

A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this,

          veth0  veth2
            |      |
          ------------
          |  bridge0 |   <---- software bridging
          ------------
               /
               /
  ethx.y      ethx
    VF         PF
     \         \          <---- propagate FDB entries to HW
     \         \
  --------------------
  |  Embedded Bridge |    <---- hardware offloaded switching
  --------------------

In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0'
to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing
the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which
then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood
these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the
embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific
to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this
into the DSA framework generates similar management issues.

Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then
delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled
ixgbe driver:

# br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3
# br fdb
port    mac addr                flags
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local
eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
#br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
#br fdb
port    mac addr                flags
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local
eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       local embedded
#br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3

I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all. It
is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW
bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly
the same message passing.

[1] 'br' tool was published as an RFC here and will be renamed 'bridge'
    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/117664/

Thanks to Jamal Hadi Salim, Stephen Hemminger and Ben Hutchings for
valuable feedback, suggestions, and review.

I don't think the second sentence is helpful, as rtnl_fdb_add() will
take care of those flags.

So if NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF are both set, we can quietly fall back to
just setting one FDB?  Not sure that's really desirable though

This operation is surely going to be mandatory for bridge devices, so
this check should be omitted or changed to a BUG_ON().

Error if !dev->netdev_ops->ndo_fdb_add.

Wonder what we should do on error here if we've already successfully
called ndo_fdb_add on the master?  Should we try to roll back the first
addition?

It makes it easier to keep an embedded agent and the sw bridge in
sync if setting both flags adds the entry to both the SW bridge and
embedded bridge. But the error case gets a bit tricky as your comments
below indicate.

I'll just remove the check.

The problem with rolling back is the table is likely already updated and
traffic may already be being forwarded. So I think in this case the user
will have to query the device to learn what failed. It seems like the
simplest way to handle this. I think it is unwanted to have traffic being
forwarded one way for a short period of time then rolled back.

The other idea I just had is we could clear the NTF_ bit in ndm_flags after
the successful add, del command. I believe the nlmsg gets sent back to the
user on error I would need to check on this.

That sounds like a good way of doing it, assuming there's no
compatibility issue.

I don't see any compat issues. Current applications shouldn't be setting
any flags and shouldn't be expecting any flags in the ack.

Also I think I need to add some notify hooks to help management. The
bridge code has fdb_notify() so I'll add a similar rtnl_fdb_notify() hook
here. Caught this while implementing some user space daemon code.

Thanks! v2 coming soon.

[net-next PATCH v1 2/7] net: addr_list: add exclusive dev_uc_add and dev_mc_add

[John Fastabend]

This adds a dev_uc_add_excl() and dev_mc_add_excl() calls
similar to the original dev_{uc|mc}_add() except it sets
the global bit and returns -EEXIST for duplicat entires.

This is useful for drivers that support SR-IOV, macvlan
devices and any other devices that need to manage the
unicast and multicast lists.

Why is it a mistake to have duplicate multicast addresses?
For example macvlan floods all multicasts so it's fine,
and assuming it didn't, it might still be fine to have to
macvlans get the same multicast, no?

The address types are wrong.  But do we even need this function yet?

macvlan wants to manage multicast addresses as well. Good catch thanks.

[net-next PATCH v1 3/7] net: add fdb generic dump routine

[John Fastabend]

This adds a generic dump routine drivers can call. It
should be sufficient to handle any bridging model that
uses the unicast address list. This should be most SR-IOV
enabled NICs.

This break is effectively return 0, but shouldn't we return an error?
In practice this does no harm because any subsequent invocation of
nlmsg_populate_fdb() for the same skb is also going to fail here with no
change to *idx.  But it would be more obviously correct to return an
error.

sure returning -EMSGSIZE seems to be inline with rtnl_fill_ifinfo and
easier to read.

also might be better to return -EMSGSIZE here as well. It seems to be
more inline with convention.

be updated even when in promisc mode to configure forwarding

[net-next PATCH v1 6/7] ixgbe: UTA table incorrectly programmed

[John Fastabend]

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@intel.com>

The UTA table was being set to the functional equivalent of promiscuous
mode.  This was resulting in traffic from the virtual function being
flooded onto the wire and the PF device. This resulted in additional
overhead for VF traffic sent to the network and in the case of traffic
sent to the PF or another VF resulted in unwanted packets on the wire.

This was actually not the intended behavior. Now that we can program
the embedded switch correctly we can remove this snippit of code. Users
who want to support this should configure the FDB correctly using the
FDB ops.

[net-next PATCH v1 7/7] macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and new macvlan mode

[John Fastabend]

This adds a new macvlan mode MACVLAN_PASSTHRU_NOPROMISC
this mode acts the same as the original passthru mode _except_
it does not set promiscuous mode on the lowerdev. Because the
lowerdev is not put in promiscuous mode any unicast or multicast
addresses the device should receive must be explicitely added
with the FDB bridge ops. In many use cases the management stack
will know the mac addresses needed (maybe negotiated via EVB/VDP)
or may require only receiving known "good" mac addresses. This
mode with the FDB ops supports this usage model.

This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up
patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes.

Looks good to me. Some questions below:

And bridge too?

Also, my understanding is that other modes won't need a flag
like this since they don't put the device in promisc mode initially,
so no assumptions are broken if we require all addresses
to be declared, right?

A final question: I think we'll later add a macvlan mode
that does not flood all multicasts. This would change behaviour
in an incompatible way so we'll probably need yet another
flag. Would it make sense to combine this functionality
with nopromisc so we have less modes to support?

In the new mode, do we want to have promisc on lowerdev follow whatever
is set on the macvlan, like we do for allmulti?
I'm not sure at this point - what do others think?

Just to enumerate why you would need this: (1) socket set with
PACKET_MR_MULTICAST and (2) something like mrouted is running
on the macvlan (3) maybe some case I missed?

Don't you need CAP_NET_RAW to set these though anyways? So I
wouldn't think it would be a problem. I assume if a user has
CAP_NET_RAW or UUID 0 they really should be able to set this
up.

I am not sure, really.
But I note that with a security mechanism such as selinux, CAP_NET_RAW
might be insufficient to change the underlying device.
So there might be value in being able to change it in
a controlled manner through macvlan.

There's also something to be said for being able to let
management deal with macvlan devices (and there are
some very complex tools for that around) while
keeping a simple script around for the physical
one and knowing that they won't disrupt each other.

If people really _need_/_want_ this then I guess we can
add another flag. I don't think we should to tie this into
the FDB bits creating an interface with strange side effects
is probably a poor design. Much better IMHO to have an
explicit bit if and when this is needed.

OK so with the new flag, you will also disable
the forwarding of ALLMULTI from macvlan to lowerdev?
Fair enough.

Yes I called this mode VEB here but this is defined in if_link.h
as IFLA_MACVLAN_MODE_BRIDGE. From a IEEE point of view I think
the macvlan bridge mode acts more like a 802.1Q VEB then a 802.1d
bridge.

correct. But requires extra work to the hash table so the forwarding
works correctly.

For VEPA and bridge modes this makes sense to me. If you want
the flood behavior you can create it by adding the addr to all
the devices or just to a subset of them to get the non-flooding
capabilities.

Hmm okay, but this would mean we should convert
MACVLAN_MODE_PASSTHRU_NOPROMISC to something
that can combined with all modes. E.g.
MACVLAN_MODE_BRIDGE | MACVLAN_MODE_FLAG_XXXXX

and document that it does not promise to flood
multicast.

BTW we seem to try to flood in pass-through too, not sure why.

How about changing MACVLAN_MODE_PASSTHRU_NOPROMISC -> MACVLAN_MODE_NOPORMISC
for this patch. Then a follow on series can rework bridge
and VEPA to use it as well.

Right. We probably need a better name if it's going to
affect other things besides promisc though.

The idea being that no one figures out what this means so
no one will make any wrong assumptions? ;)

Well its a flag to enable the FDB (forwarding database) ops
and skip dev_set_promisc() on passthru mode. Any better ideas?
Maybe MACVLAN_MODE_FDBENABLE or MACVLAN_MODE_MANAGE_FDB?

Do we need to introduce another mode? I think this patch is enabling 
passthru mode without the need
to put the underlying device in promiscuous mode. So basically we can 
consider this patch as
an optimization.

Sridhar, Michael,

After thinking about this a bit I would propose keeping this
patch as is. Or if we prefer I can make this a flag but I don't
think that helps much. passthru mode is the only macvlan mode
that calls dev_set_promiscuity(). Either way I think this mode
or flag should _only_ toggle the call to dev_set_promiscuity().

Setting multicast dev->flag IFF_ALLMULTI seems to be a completely
separate optimization that we can work with a follow up patch.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback,
John

I agree it's a separate optimization. But if we let the
number of supported modes explode
(MACVLAN_MODE_PASSTHRU_NOPROMISC MACVLAN_MODE_PASSTHRU_NOALLMULTI
....) supporting them all and combinations thereof might become a problem.

I'm looking for an interface solution that will limit this
overhead without breaking existing setups.


One idea was to have a flag that says basically "really obey device
configuration".  Yes if we do this we can then split the support to
multiple patches and consider each individual one a bugfix, though if we
put a known broken solution in 3.5 there's a danger that someone will
come to depend on the broken behaviour. Other ideas?

I'm going to respin this series today. I'll try to rework this with
a flags field so that we can set nopromisc and noallmutli using flags
and not have the supported mode space explode.

> How do statistics work in this case? What if you wanted to do BRIDGE MIB?

I expect we will need to do the same sort of thing for PF_BRIDGE:RTM_GETLINK
to dump the statistics for an embedded or stacked bridge. This series only
gets the forwarding database setup. All the other entries in the MIB still
need to be populated. What I would like is to be able to write a BRIDGE MIB
implementation and have it work with any of the bridging components in the
linux kernel. But I don't think that should block this series.

Make sense?

Based on a quick scan I'm not sure the existing net/bridge code has one place
to pull all the stats from anyways looks like you might have to read some sysfs
entries AND do some netlink commands. I would have to check that though. It is
on my todo list to create a bridge mib for some of the EVB cases. Of course if
someone else got to it that would be great.
