Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

This patch adds a new mode of operation to macvlan, called "source".
It allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used
to match against source mac address from received frames on underlying
interface.
This enables creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard
port or tag based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based
behavior, where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that.
Configuration is done through the netlink interface using e.g.:
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan1 type macvlan mode source
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:11:11:11:11:11
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:22:22:22:22:22
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:44:44:44:44:44
This allows clients with MAC addresses 00:11:11:11:11:11,
00:22:22:22:22:22 to be part of only VLAN associated with macvlan0
interface. Clients with MAC addresses 00:44:44:44:44:44 with only VLAN
associated with macvlan1 interface. And client with MAC address
00:33:33:33:33:33 to be associated with both VLANs.

Since commit 412ca1550c ("macvlan: Move broadcasts into a work queue"), the
driver uses tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit of packets enqueuing.
Problem is that virtual drivers have this value set to 0, thus all broadcast
packets were rejected.
Because tx_queue_len was arbitrarily chosen, I replace it with a static limit
of 1000 (also arbitrarily chosen).

Currently, macvlan code restricts multicast and unicast

traffic, it has to set IFF_ALLMULTI or IFF_PROMISC.
This patch makes it possible to use the fdb interface
to add multicast addresses to the filter thus allowing
a guest to receive only targeted multicast traffic.

The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where

the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to

Currently broadcasts are handled in network RX context, where
the packets are sent through netif_rx. This means that the number
of macvlans will be constrained by the capacity of netif_rx.
For example, setting up 4096 macvlans practically causes all
broadcast packets to be dropped as the default netif_rx queue
size simply can't handle 4096 skbs being stuffed into it all
at once.
Fundamentally, we need to ensure that the amount of work handled
in each netif_rx backlog run is constrained. As broadcasts are
anything but constrained, it either needs to be limited per run
or moved to process context.
This patch picks the second option and moves all broadcast handling
bar the trivial case of packets going to a single interface into
a work queue. Obviously there also needs to be a limit on how
many broadcast packets we postpone in this way. I've arbitrarily
chosen tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit (act_mirred
also happens to use this parameter in a similar way).
In order to ensure we don't exceed the backlog queue we will use
netif_rx_ni instead of netif_rx for broadcast packets.

Macvlan currently inherits all of its features from the lower
device. When lower device disables offload support, this causes
macvlan to disable offload support as well. This causes
performance regression when using macvlan/macvtap in bridge
mode.
It can be easily demonstrated by creating 2 namespaces using
macvlan in bridge mode and running netperf between them:
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.1 () port 0 AF_INET

Socket Socket Message Elapsed

bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
87380 16384 16384 20.00 1204.61
To restore the performance, we add software offload features
to the list of "always_on" features for macvlan. This way
when a namespace or a guest using macvtap initially sends a
packet, this packet will not be segmented at macvlan level.
It will only be segmented when macvlan sends the packet
to the lower device.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

There are inconsistencies wrt. feature propagation/inheritance between
macvlan and the underlying interface.
When a feature is turned off on the real device before a macvlan is
created on top, these will remain enabled on the macvlan device, whereas
turning off the feature on the lower device after macvlan creation the
kernel will propagate the changes to the macvlan.
The second issue is that, when propagating changes from underlying device
to the macvlan interface, macvlan can erronously lose its NETIF_F_LLTX flag,
as features are anded with the underlying device.
However, LLTX should be kept since it has no dependencies on physical
hardware (LLTX is set on macvlan creation regardless of the lower
device properties, see 8ffab51b3d
(macvlan: lockless tx path).
The LLTX flag is now forced regardless of user settings in absence of
layer2 hw acceleration (a6cc0cfa72,
net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices).
Use netdev_increment_features to rebuild the feature set on capability
changes on either the lower device or on the macvlan interface.
As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, use netdev_update_features on
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event (it calls macvlan_fix_features/netdev_features_change
if needed).

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.
The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.
This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.
Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

After the commit below attempting to create macvlan devices was
resulting in ENOENT errors,
# ip link add link p3p2 type macvlan
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
This happens because netdev_upper_dev_link() is called before
register_netdevice() in the macvlan code. Through a call chain
this results in a call to __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert() and
finally a sysfs_create_link(). This requires the kobject of
the macvlan to be registered which is done in register_netdevice().
If there is no kobject which is the case here the ENOENT error
is seen on the command line.
To resolve this move the netdev_upper_dev_link() call below
the register_netdevice() call. This aligns with vlan driver
flow.

Currently macvlan calls skb_clone in macvlan_broadcast but checks
for a NULL return in macvlan_broadcast_one instead. This is
needlessly confusing and may lead to bugs introduced later.
This patch moves the error check to where the skb_clone call is.
The only other caller of macvlan_broadcast_one never passes in a
NULL value so it doesn't need the check either.

commit 3b04ddde02
"[NET]: Move hardware header operations out of netdevice."
moved the handling into macvlan setup adding
dev->header_ops = &macvlan_hard_header_ops,
At the end of the line the ',' should have been a ';'

commit df8ef8f3aa
macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags
added a flags field to macvlan, which can be
controlled from userspace.
The idea is to make the interface future-proof
so we can add flags and not new fields.
However, flags value isn't validated, as a result,
userspace can't detect which flags are supported.

It's quite unlikely that dev_set_promiscuity will fail,
but worth checking just in case.

macvlan passthrough mode is special: it's not possible to switch to or
from it through a netlink command.
But if you try, the command will succeed, which is
confusing.
Validate input and return error to user.

When the user issues TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl, macvtap does not do
anything other then to verify arguments. This patch adds
functionality to allow users to actually control offload features.
NETIF_F_GSO and NETIF_F_GRO are always on, but the rest of the
features can be controlled.
