[PATCHv2 0/4] macvlan: add vepa and bridge mode

[PATCHv2 0/4] macvlan: add vepa and bridge mode

[Arnd Bergmann]

Second version, all feedback so far addressed, thanks for the
help and interest!

The patch to iproute2 has not changed, so I'm not including
it this time. Patch 4/4 (the netlink interface) is basically
unchanged as well but included for completeness.

The other changes have moved forward a bit, to the point where
I find them a lot cleaner and am more confident in the code
being ready for inclusion. The implementation hardly resembles
Erics original patch now, so I've dropped his signed-off-by.

Please take a look and ack if you are happy so we can get it
into 2.6.33.

Version 1 description:
This is based on an earlier patch from Eric Biederman adding
forwarding between macvlans. I extended his approach to
allow the administrator to choose the mode for each macvlan,
and to implement a functional VEPA between macvlan.

Still missing from this is support for communication between
the lower device that the macvlans are based on. This would
be extremely useful but as others have found out before me
requires significant changes not only to macvlan but also
to the common transmit path.

I've tested VEPA operation with the hairpin support
added to the bridge driver by Anna Fischer.

[PATCH 1/4] veth: move loopback logic to common location

[Arnd Bergmann]

The veth driver contains code to forward an skb
from the start_xmit function of one network
device into the receive path of another device.

Moving that code into a common location lets us
reuse the code for direct forwarding of data
between macvlan ports, and possibly in other
drivers.

[PATCH 2/4] macvlan: cleanup rx statistics

[Arnd Bergmann]

We have very similar code for rx statistics in
two places in the macvlan driver, with a third
one being added in the next patch.

Consolidate them into one function to improve
overall readability of the driver.

[Bridge] [PATCH 2/4] macvlan: cleanup rx statistics

[Arnd Bergmann]

We have very similar code for rx statistics in
two places in the macvlan driver, with a third
one being added in the next patch.

Consolidate them into one function to improve
overall readability of the driver.

[PATCH 3/4] macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode

[Arnd Bergmann]

This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:

MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
  The device never communicates with any other device
  on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
  coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
  by the adjacent bridge.

MACVLAN_VEPA:
  The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
  we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
  where both source and destination are local to the
  macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
  relay.
  Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
  flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
  We never deliver any frames locally.

MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
  We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
  different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
  from one interface to another one get delivered directly
  and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
  flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
  interface, but when they come back from a reflective
  relay, we don't deliver them again.
  Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
  mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
  module does.

Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.

[Bridge] [PATCH 3/4] macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode

[Arnd Bergmann]

This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:

MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
  The device never communicates with any other device
  on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
  coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
  by the adjacent bridge.

MACVLAN_VEPA:
  The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
  we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
  where both source and destination are local to the
  macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
  relay.
  Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
  flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
  We never deliver any frames locally.

MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
  We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
  different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
  from one interface to another one get delivered directly
  and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
  flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
  interface, but when they come back from a reflective
  relay, we don't deliver them again.
  Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
  mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
  module does.

Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.

In order to support all three modes of macvlan at
runtime, extend the existing netlink protocol
to allow choosing the mode per macvlan slave
interface.

This depends on a matching patch to iproute2
in order to become accessible in user land.

I find following more readable, it probably generates more branches,
but avoid dirtying rx_errors if it is in another cache line.

if (likely(success)) {
	rx_stats->rx_packets++;
	rx_stats->rx_bytes += length;
	if (multicast)
		rx_stats->multicast++;
} else {
	rx_stats->rx_errors++;
}

its not _likely_ that skb != NULL, its a fact :)

Given that the structure only has four members and alloc_percpu requests
cache aligned data, it is rather likely to be in the same cache line.

I'll have a look at what gcc generates on x86-64 for both versions
and use the version you suggested unless it looks significantly more
expensive.

Since we're into micro-optimization territory, do you think it should
be marked inline or not?

I don't understand. Note how I removed the check for NULL above and
the skb pointer may be the result of a failing skb_clone().

Looking at this again, I actually introduced a bug by calling netif_rx
on a possibly NULL skb, I'll fix that.

Thanks!

Ok, that's what I got for trying to be clever. My version did not avoid
any branches, just created more code. I'll fold this update into my

Ok, that's what I got for trying to be clever. My version did not avoid
any branches, just created more code. I'll fold this update into my

skb->mark clearing should stay private to veth since its usually
supposed to stay intact. The only exception is packets crossing
namespaces, where they should appear like a freshly received skbs.

But isn't that what we want in macvlan as well when we're
forwarding from one downstream interface to another?

I did all my testing with macvlan interfaces in separate namespaces
communicating with each other, so I'd assume that we should always
clear skb->mark and skb->dst in this function. Maybe I should make
the documentation clearer?

In the TX direction you can use the mark for TC classification
on the underlying device.

Good point, in that case we probably should clear it as well. But
in the non-namespace case the TC classification currently works and
this is consistent with any other virtual device driver, so it
should continue to work.

I don't use dev_forward_skb for the case where the data is sent
to the underlying device, so the TC classification should stay
intact.

Do you think we should be able to use TC to direct traffic between
macvlans on the same underlying device in bridge mode? It does sound
useful, but I'm not sure how to implement that or if you'd expect
it to work with the current code. If we support that, it should probably
also work with namespaces, by consuming the mark in the macvlan
and veth drivers.

I don't think its necessary, we bypass outgoing queuing anyways.
But if you'd want to add it, just keeping the skb->mark clearing
in veth should work from what I can tell.

Right, I see. This looks fine.

This looks a bit strange, like cut-and-paste without reformatting :)
I'd suggest to simply use "vlan->mode = nla_get_u32(...)".

Not any more. I originally did secpath_reset here, but that is now moved

This is done before calling eth_type_trans and skb->mac_header
appears to be uninitialized then, which gave me an instant kernel
panic here.

veth doesn't have an outgoing queue.  The reason we clear skb->mark
in veth is because when reentering the networking stack the packet
needs to be reclassified.  At the point of loopback we are talking
a packet that has at least logically gone out of the machine on a
wire and come back into the machine on another physical interface.

So it seems to me we should have consistent handling for macvlans,
veth, for the cases where we are looping packets back around.  In
practice I expect all of those cases are going to be cross namespace
as otherwise we would have intercepted the packet before going
out a physical interface.

Agreed on the looping case, that's what we're doing now.

In the layered case (macvlan -> eth0) its common behaviour to
keep the mark however. But in case of different namespaces,
I think macvlan should also clear the mark on the dev_queue_xmit()
path since this is just a shortcut to looping the packets
through veth. In fact probably both of them should also clear
skb->priority so other namespaces don't accidentally misclassify
packets.

That is why I pushed for what is becoming dev_forward_skb.  So that
we have one place where we can make all of those tweaks.  It seems
like in every review we find another field that should be cleared/handled
specially.

I don't quite follow what you intend with dev_queue_xmit when the macvlan
is in one namespace and the real physical device is in another.  Are
you mentioning that the packet classifier runs in the namespace where
the primary device lives with packets from a different namespace?

That is why I pushed for what is becoming dev_forward_skb.  So that
we have one place where we can make all of those tweaks.  It seems
like in every review we find another field that should be cleared/handled
specially.

I don't quite follow what you intend with dev_queue_xmit when the macvlan
is in one namespace and the real physical device is in another.  Are
you mentioning that the packet classifier runs in the namespace where
the primary device lives with packets from a different namespace?

I don't quite follow what you intend with dev_queue_xmit when the macvlan
is in one namespace and the real physical device is in another.  Are
you mentioning that the packet classifier runs in the namespace where
the primary device lives with packets from a different namespace?

I treat internal and external delivery very differently, the three
cases are:

1. skb from real device to macvlan (macvlan_handle_frame): basically
unchanged from before, except avoiding duplicate broadcasts. All
skbs end up in netif_rx(vlan->dev) without clearing any data.
We catch the frame in netif_receive_skb before it interacts with the
namespace of the real device.

2. skb to external device (macvlan_start_xmit): if the destination
is external, we just end up in dev_queue_xmit, with skb->dev set to
the external device but no other changes. The data is already on the
way out at this stage, so the namespace should not matter any more.

3. internal delivery: an skb from one macvlan to another gets always
sent through dev_forward_skb, which is supposed to clear anything
that must not leave the namespace.

Does this make sense?

Exactly. And I think we should make sure that the namespace of
the macvlan device can't (deliberately or accidentally) cause
misclassification.

This is independent of my series and a preexisting problem, right?

Which fields do you think need to be reset to maintain namespace
isolation for the outbound path in macvlan?
---
net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device

In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.

To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.

Correct.

In addition to those already handled, I'd say

- priority: affects qdisc classification, may refer to classes of the
  old namespace
- ipvs_property: might cause packets to incorrectly skip netfilter hooks
- nf_trace: might trigger packet tracing
- nf_bridge: contains references to network devices in the old NS,
  also indicates packet was bridged
- iif: index is only valid in the originating namespace
- tc_index: classification result, should only be set in the namespace
  of the classifier
- tc_verd: RTTL etc. should begin at zero again
- probably secmark.

Wow.  I thought we were trying to reduce skbuff, where did all of those
fields come from?  Regarless that sounds like a good list to get stomped.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of RTTL? If you create a loop
across two devices in different namespaces, it may no longer get
detected. Or is that a different problem again?

net: maintain namespace isolation between vlan and real device

In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.

To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.

Still needs testing, don't apply

Mhh good point, that would indeed be possible. OTOH using ingress
filtering in one namespace currently might cause the packet to get
dropped in a different namespace because the ttl runs out. For now
I'd suggest to go the safe route and keep the TTL intact until we
can come up with something better.

This makes we wonder which ones we actually should keep. Most of the
others get reinitialized anyways, so maybe its better to simply clear
the entire area up until ->tail like f.i. skb_recycle_check().

This doesn't seem necessary, if the packet goes through
netif_receive_skb, it will be set anyways.
