2015-06-23macvtap: Increase limit of macvtap queuesPankaj Gupta
Macvtap should be compatible with tuntap for maximum number of queues. commit 'baf71c5c1f80d82e92924050a60b5baaf97e3094 (tuntap: Increase the number of queues in tun.)' removes the limitations and increases number of queues in tuntap. Now, Its safe to increase number of queues in Macvtap as well. This patch also modifies 'macvtap_del_queues' function to avoid extra memory allocation in stack. Changes from v1->v2 : Michael S. Tsirkin, Jason Wang : Better way to use linked list to avoid use of extra memory in stack. Sergei Shtylyov : Specify dependent commit's summary.

2014-09-29macvlan: add source modeMichael Braun
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.

2012-04-15macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flagsJohn Fastabend
This adds FDB bridge ops to the macvlan device passthru mode. Additionally a flags field was added and a NOPROMISC bit to allow users to use passthru mode without the driver calling dev_set_promiscuity(). The flags field is a u16 placed in a 4 byte hole (consuming 2 bytes) of the macvlan_dev struct. We want to do this so that the macvlan driver or stack above the macvlan driver does not have to process every packet. For the use case where we know all the MAC addresses of the endstations above us this works well. This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes. v2: Change from distinct nopromisc mode to a flags field to configure this. This avoids the tendency to add a new mode every time we need some slightly different behavior. v3: fix error in dev_set_promiscuity and add change and get link attributes for flags.

2011-10-21macvtap: Fix the minor device number allocationEric W. Biederman
On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the 31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor, resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days. Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers are available and and to track the association between macvtap minor numbers and macvtap network devices. Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap specific data structures it is impossible to find any other kind of networking device. Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor device range. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-16macvlan: lockless tx pathEric Dumazet
macvlan is a stacked device, like tunnels. We should use the lockless mechanism we are using in tunnels and loopback. This patch completely removes locking in TX path. tx stat counters are added into existing percpu stat structure, renamed from rx_stats to pcpu_stats. Note : this reverts commit 2c11455321f37 (macvlan: add multiqueue capability) Note : rx_errors converted to a 32bit counter, like tx_dropped, since they dont need 64bit range.

Implement multiqueue facility for macvtap driver. The idea is that a macvtap device can be opened multiple times and the fd's can be used to register eg, as backend for vhost. Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-07-22macvtap: Limit packet queue lengthHerbert Xu
Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over a macvtap link to a kvm receiver. This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues are unlimited in length. This means that if the receiver can't keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver. This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length. Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver queue fills up. This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied anyway. Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this. Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when macvtap_get_queue fails. Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a non-zero TX queue length. This patch includes his work to change the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.

2010-06-02net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5Jiri Pirko
What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device. Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register an rx_handler for needed net device.

2010-05-15net: adjust handle_macvlan to pass port struct to hookJiri Pirko
Now there's null check here and also again in the hook. Looking at bridge bits which are simmilar, port structure is rcu_dereferenced right away in handle_bridge and passed to hook. Looks nicer.

2010-02-03net: macvtap driverArnd Bergmann
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend with a character device with the same interface as the tun driver, with a minimum set of features. Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a handle for configuration and accounting, while the data goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its own character device, simplifying permission management significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

2010-02-03macvlan: allow multiple driver backendsArnd Bergmann
This makes it possible to hook into the macvlan driver from another kernel module.
