2020-11-09tap: add function to set speedAlexander Chernavin1-0/+82
A plugin can set the speed on a host interface making it possible for host applications to be aware of the actual interface speed, not the one that the driver reports by default. With this change, add a function to set speed on a host interface. Type: feature Signed-off-by: Alexander Chernavin <achernavin@netgate.com> Change-Id: I259a52b736022bdd805e8d92dcd1bfd5c58f6f96
2020-11-05tap: allow change of carrier state on hostMatthew Smith1-0/+41
Type: feature Add a function to adjust the link state of the host side of a tap interface. If an application (e.g. route protocol daemons) running on the host uses netlink to monitor interface state, a plugin could use this function to communicate a loss of connectivity to the application by making the interface appear to go down. Requires a somewhat recent kernel. E.g. it does not have any effect on CentOS 7 but it works on CentOS 8.

Type: fix From kernel 4.20, xdp support has been added in tun_sendmsg. If sndbuf == INT_MAX, kernel executes xdp data path for tun driver which assumes packets are ethernet frames. This patch is avoiding the xdp data path in kernel by setting the sendbuf value < INT_MAX. Signed-off-by: Mohsin Kazmi <sykazmi@cisco.com> Change-Id: Ia4aa54b177b96d56a2d513d18d26ca01d5b88929

2019-07-23api: binary api cleanupDave Barach1-2/+4
Multiple API message handlers call vnet_get_sup_hw_interface(...) without checking the inbound sw_if_index. This can cause a pool_elt_at_index ASSERT in a debug image, and major disorder in a production image. Given that a number of places are coded as follows, add an "api_visible_or_null" variant of vnet_get_sup_hw_interface, which returns NULL given an invalid sw_if_index, or a hidden sw interface: - hw = vnet_get_sup_hw_interface (vnm, sw_if_index); + hw = vnet_get_sup_hw_interface_api_visible_or_null (vnm, sw_if_index); if (hw == NULL || memif_device_class.index != hw->dev_class_index) return clib_error_return (0, "not a memif interface"); Rename two existing xxx_safe functions -> xxx_or_null to make it obvious what they return.

2019-05-28tap: crash in multi-thread environmentMohsin Kazmi1-4/+0
In tap tx routine, virtio_interface_tx_inline, there used to be an interface spinlock to ensure packets are processed in an orderly fashion clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vif->lockp); When virtio code was introduced in 19.04, that line is changed to clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vring->lockp); to accommodate multi-queues. Unfortunately, althrough the spinlock exists in the vring, it was never initialized for tap, only for virtio. As a result, many nasty things can happen when running tap interface in multi-thread environment. Crash is inevitable. The fix is to initialize vring->lockp for tap and remove vif->lockp as it is not used anymore.

2019-02-22tapv2: coverity strikes backSteven Luong1-5/+4
while https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/16590/ fixed the leaked fd which coverity reported at that time, new coverity run reports simailar leaked fd in a different goto punt path. It would be nice if coverity reported both of them at the same time. Or perhaps it did and I just missed it. Anyway, the new fix is to put the close (fd) statement prior to the return of tap_create_if routine which should catch all goto's.

2019-02-19tap gso: experimental supportAndrew Yourtchenko1-0/+65
This commit adds a "gso" parameter to existing "create tap..." CLI, and a "no-gso" parameter for the compatibility with the future, when/if defaults change. It makes use of the lowest bit of the "tap_flags" field in the API call in order to allow creation of GSO interfaces via API as well. It does the necessary syscalls to enable the GSO and checksum offload support on the kernel side and sets two flags on the interface: virtio-specific virtio_if_t.gso_enabled, and vnet_hw_interface_t.flags & VNET_HW_INTERFACE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_GSO. The first one, if enabled, triggers the marking of the GSO-encapsulated packets on ingress with VNET_BUFFER_F_GSO flag, and setting vnet_buffer2(b)->gso_size to the desired L4 payload size. VNET_HW_INTERFACE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_GSO determines the egress packet processing in interface-output for such packets: When the flag is set, they are sent out almost as usual (just taking care to set the vnet header for virtio). When the flag is not enabled (the case for most interfaces), the egress path performs the re-segmentation such that the L4 payload of the transmitted packets equals gso_size. The operations in the datapath are enabled only when there is at least one GSO-compatible interface in the system - this is done by tracking the count in interface_main.gso_interface_count. This way the impact of conditional checks for the setups that do not use GSO is minimized. "show tap" CLI shows the state of the GSO flag on the interface, and the total count of GSO-enabled interfaces (which is used to enable the GSO-related processing in the packet path). This commit lacks IPv6 extension header traversal support of any kind - the L4 payload is assumed to follow the IPv6 header. Also it performs the offloads only for TCP (TSO - TCP segmentation offload). The UDP fragmentation offload (UFO) is not part of it. For debug purposes it also adds the debug CLI: "set tap gso {<interface> | sw_if_index <sw_idx>} <enable|disable>" Change-Id: Ifd562db89adcc2208094b3d1032cee8c307aaef9 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>
