When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.
The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5c ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.
iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").
The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)
We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.
With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed
to have a bandwidth of at least this value.
max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth
of up to this value.
o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced
which takes 4 arguments:
netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate
o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler.
o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call
ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth
greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet
implemented by driver.
o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then,
userland should read back the other value from driver and set both
for IFLA_VF_RATE.
Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always
return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool.
o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then
IFLA_VF_RATE should override.
o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user.
o Usage example: -

Since 115c9b8192 (rtnetlink: Fix problem with
buffer allocation), RTM_NEWLINK messages only contain the IFLA_VFINFO_LIST
attribute if they were solicited by a GETLINK message containing an
IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag.
That was done because some user programs broke when they received more data
than expected - because IFLA_VFINFO_LIST contains information for each VF
it can become large if there are many VFs.
However, the IFLA_VF_PORTS attribute, supplied for devices which implement
ndo_get_vf_port (currently the 'enic' driver only), has the same problem.
It supplies per-VF information and can therefore become large, but it is
not currently conditional on the IFLA_EXT_MASK value.
Worse, it interacts badly with the existing EXT_MASK handling. When
IFLA_EXT_MASK is not supplied, the buffer for netlink replies is fixed at
NLMSG_GOODSIZE. If the information for IFLA_VF_PORTS exceeds this, then
rtnl_fill_ifinfo() returns -EMSGSIZE on the first message in a packet.
netlink_dump() will misinterpret this as having finished the listing and
omit data for this interface and all subsequent ones. That can cause
getifaddrs(3) to enter an infinite loop.
This patch addresses the problem by only supplying IFLA_VF_PORTS when
IFLA_EXT_MASK is supplied with the RTEXT_FILTER_VF flag set.

Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single
interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink
packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong, When listing all
interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first
message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for
that interface and all subsequent ones. This can cause getifaddrs(3) to
enter an infinite loop.
This patch won't fix the problem, but it will WARN_ON() making it easier to

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.
To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

Fix the iproute2 command `bridge vlan show`, after switching from
rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg.
Let's start with a little history:
Feb 20: Vlad Yasevich got his VLAN-aware bridge patchset included in
the 3.9 merge window.
In the kernel commit 6cbdceeb, he added attribute support to
bridge GETLINK requests sent with rtgenmsg.
Mar 6th: Vlad got this iproute2 reference implementation of the bridge
vlan netlink interface accepted (iproute2 9eff0e5c)
Apr 25th: iproute2 switched from using rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg (63338dca)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/239602/http://marc.info/?t=136680900700007
Apr 28th: Linus released 3.9
Apr 30th: Stephen released iproute2 3.9.0
The `bridge vlan show` command haven't been working since the switch to
ifinfomsg, or in a released version of iproute2. Since the kernel side
only supports rtgenmsg, which iproute2 switched away from just prior to
the iproute2 3.9.0 release.
I haven't been able to find any documentation, about neither rtgenmsg
nor ifinfomsg, and in which situation to use which, but kernel commit
88c5b5ce seams to suggest that ifinfomsg should be used.
Fixing this in kernel will break compatibility, but I doubt that anybody
have been using it due to this bug in the user space reference
implementation, at least not without noticing this bug. That said the
functionality is still fully functional in 3.9, when reversing iproute2
commit 63338dca.
This could also be fixed in iproute2, but thats an ugly patch that would
reintroduce rtgenmsg in iproute2, and from searching in netdev it seams
like rtgenmsg usage is discouraged. I'm assuming that the only reason
that Vlad implemented the kernel side to use rtgenmsg, was because
iproute2 was using it at the time.

Add netlink directives and ndo entry to allow for controling
VF link, which can be in one of three states:
Auto - VF link state reflects the PF link state (default)
Up - VF link state is up, traffic from VF to VF works even if
the actual PF link is down
Down - VF link state is down, no traffic from/to this VF, can be of
use while configuring the VF

So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier
event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure
able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

Commit 6681712d67
vxlan: generalize forwarding tables
relaxed the address checks in rtnl_fdb_del() to use is_zero_ether_addr().
This allows users to add multicast addresses using the fdb API. However,
the check in rtnl_fdb_del() still uses a more strict
is_valid_ether_addr() which rejects multicast addresses. Thus it
is possible to add an fdb that can not be later removed.
Relax the check in rtnl_fdb_del() as well.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.
The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.
An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.
Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.
Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.
Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.
