[PATCH net-next v3 0/8] net: bridge: add flush filtering support

[PATCH net-next v3 0/8] net: bridge: add flush filtering support

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

Hi,
This patch-set adds support to specify filtering conditions for a bulk
delete (flush) operation. This version uses a new nlmsghdr delete flag
called NLM_F_BULK in combination with a new ndo_fdb_del_bulk op which is
used to signal that the driver supports bulk deletes (that avoids
pushing common mac address checks to ndo_fdb_del implementations and
also has a different prototype and parsed attribute expectations, more
info in patch 03). The new delete flag can be used for any RTM_DEL*
type, implementations just need to be careful with older kernels which
are doing non-strict attribute parses. Here I use the fact that mac
address attribute (lladdr) is mandatory in the classic fdb del case, but
it's not allowed if bulk deleting so older kernels will error out.
Patch 01 adds the new NLM_F_BULK delete request modifier, patch 02 then
adds the new ndo_fdb_del_bulk call. Patch 03 adds NLM_F_BULK support to
rtnl_fdb_del, on such request strict parsing is used only for the
supported attributes, and if the ndo is implemented it's called, the
NTF_SELF/MASTER rules are the same as for the standard rtnl_fdb_del.
Patch 04 implements bridge-specific minimal ndo_fdb_del_bulk call which
uses the current br_fdb_flush to delete all entries. Patch 05 adds
filtering support to the new bridge flush op which supports target
ifindex (port or bridge), vlan id and flags/state mask. Patch 06 adds
ndm state and flags mask attributes which will be used for filtering.
Patch 07 converts ndm state/flags and their masks to bridge-private flags
and fills them in the filter descriptor for matching. Finally patch 08
fills in the target ifindex (after validating it) and vlan id (already
validated by rtnl_fdb_flush) for matching. Flush filtering is needed
because user-space applications need a quick way to delete only a
specific set of entries, e.g. mlag implementations need a way to flush only
dynamic entries excluding externally learned ones or only externally
learned ones without static entries etc. Also apps usually want to target
only a specific vlan or port/vlan combination. The current 2 flush
operations (per port and bridge-wide) are not extensible and cannot
provide such filtering.

I decided against embedding new attrs into the old flush attributes for
multiple reasons - proper error handling on unsupported attributes,
older kernels silently flushing all, need for a second mechanism to
signal that the attribute should be parsed (e.g. using boolopts),
special treatment for permanent entries.

Examples:
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge vlan 100 static
< flush all static entries on vlan 100 >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge vlan 1 dynamic
< flush all dynamic entries on vlan 1 >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge port ens16 vlan 1 dynamic
< flush all dynamic entries on port ens16 and vlan 1 >
$ bridge fdb flush dev ens16 vlan 1 dynamic master
< as above: flush all dynamic entries on port ens16 and vlan 1 >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge nooffloaded nopermanent self
< flush all non-offloaded and non-permanent entries >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge static noextern_learn
< flush all static entries which are not externally learned >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge permanent
< flush all permanent entries >
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge port bridge permanent
< flush all permanent entries pointing to the bridge itself >

Example of a flush call with unsupported netlink attribute (NDA_DST):
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge vlan 100 dynamic dst
Error: Unsupported attribute.

Example of a flush call on an older kernel:
$ bridge fdb flush dev bridge dynamic
Error: invalid address.

Note that all flags have their negated version (static vs nostatic etc)
and there are some tricky cases to handle like "static" which in flag
terms means fdbs that have NUD_NOARP but *not* NUD_PERMANENT, so the
mask matches on both but we need only NUD_NOARP to be set. That's
because permanent entries have both set so we can't just match on
NUD_NOARP. Also note that this flush operation doesn't treat permanent
entries in a special way (fdb_delete vs fdb_delete_local), it will
delete them regardless if any port is using them. We can extend the api
with a flag to do that if needed in the future.

Patch-sets (in order):
 - Initial flush infra and fdb flush filtering (this set)
 - iproute2 support
 - selftests

Future work:
 - mdb flush support (RTM_FLUSHMDB type)

Thanks to Ido for the great discussion and feedback while working on this.

v3: Add NLM_F_BULK delete modifier and ndo_fdb_del_bulk callback,
    patches 01 - 03 and 06 are new. Patch 04 is changed to implement
    bulk_del instead of flush, patches 05, 07 and 08 are adjusted to
    use NDA_ attributes

 Nik

[PATCH net-next v3 1/8] net: netlink: add NLM_F_BULK delete request modifier

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

Add a new delete request modifier called NLM_F_BULK which, when
supported, would cause the request to delete multiple objects. The flag
is a convenient way to signal that a multiple delete operation is
requested which can be gradually added to different delete requests. In
order to make sure older kernels will error out if the operation is not
supported instead of doing something unintended we have to break a
required condition when implementing support for this flag, f.e. for
neighbors we will omit the mandatory mac address attribute.
Initially it will be used to add flush with filtering support for bridge
fdbs, but it also opens the door to add similar support to others.

[PATCH net-next v3 5/8] net: bridge: fdb: add support for fine-grained flushing

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

Add the ability to specify exactly which fdbs to be flushed. They are
described by a new structure - net_bridge_fdb_flush_desc. Currently it
can match on port/bridge ifindex, vlan id and fdb flags. It is used to
describe the existing dynamic fdb flush operation. Note that this flush
operation doesn't treat permanent entries in a special way (fdb_delete vs
fdb_delete_local), it will delete them regardless if any port is using
them, so currently it can't directly replace deletes which need to handle
that case, although we can extend it later for that too.

[PATCH net-next v3 6/8] net: rtnetlink: add ndm flags and state mask attributes

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

Add ndm flags/state masks which will be used for bulk delete filtering.
All of these are used by the bridge and vxlan drivers. Also minimal attr
policy validation is added, it is up to ndo_fdb_del_bulk implementers to
further validate them.

[PATCH net-next v3 7/8] net: bridge: fdb: add support for flush filtering based on ndm flags and state

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

Add support for fdb flush filtering based on ndm flags and state. NDM
state and flags are mapped to bridge-specific flags and matched
according to the specified masks. NTF_USE is used to represent
added_by_user flag since it sets it on fdb add and we don't have a 1:1
mapping for it. Only allowed bits can be set, NTF_USE and NTF_MASTER are
ignored.

I realized an improvement I've missed to do in patch 08 (use port's 
ifindex when doing a bridge flush through a port and NDA_IFINDEX is not 
specified), I'll leave this set for comments and will prepare v4 with it 
and anything else that comes up in the meantime.

overall it looks fine to me. The rollout of BULK delete for other
commands will be slow so we need a way to reject the BULK flag if the
handler does not support it. One thought is to add another flag to
rtnl_link_flags (e.g., RTNL_FLAG_BULK_DEL_SUPPORTED) and pass that flag
in for handlers that handle bulk delete and reject it for others in core
rtnetlink code.

Good point, it will be nice to error out with something meaningful if
bulk delete isn't supported. I'll look into it.
