Eric W. Biederman 966bae3349 mpls: Functions for reading and wrinting mpls labels over netlink
Reading and writing addresses in network byte order in netlink is
traditional and I see no reason to change that.  MPLS is interesting
as effectively it has variabely length addresses (the MPLS label
stack).  To represent these variable length addresses in netlink
I use a valid MPLS label stack (complete with stop bit).

This achieves two things: a well defined existing format is used,
and the data can be interpreted without looking at it's length.

Not needed to look at the length to decode the variable length
network representation allows existing userspace functions
such as inet_ntop to be used without needed to change their
prototype.

Eric W. Biederman a2519929ab mpls: Basic support for adding and removing routes
mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del implement the basic logic for adding
and removing Next Hop Label Forwarding Entries from the MPLS input
label map.  The addition and subtraction is done in a way that is
consistent with how the existing routing table in Linux are
maintained.  Thus all of the work to deal with NLM_F_APPEND,
NLM_F_EXCL, NLM_F_REPLACE, and NLM_F_CREATE.

Cases that are not clearly defined such as changing the interpretation
of the mpls reserved labels is not allowed.

Because it seems like the right thing to do adding an MPLS route without
specifying an input label and allowing the kernel to pick a free label
table entry is supported.   The implementation is currently less than optimal
but that can be changed.

As I don't have anything else to test with only ethernet and the loopback
device are the only two device types currently supported for forwarding
MPLS over.

Eric W. Biederman 7720c01f3f mpls: Add a sysctl to control the size of the mpls label table
This sysctl gives two benefits.  By defaulting the table size to 0
mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding
any packets.  This prevents unpleasant surprises for users.

The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense
table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and
is extremely simple and efficient to implement.

This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label
table size userspace applications need to cope with.

Eric W. Biederman 0189197f44 mpls: Basic routing support
This change adds a new Kconfig option MPLS_ROUTING.

The core of this change is the code to look at an mpls packet received
from another machine.  Look that packet up in a routing table and
forward the packet on.

Support of MPLS over ATM is not considered or attempted here.  This
implemntation follows RFC3032 and implements the MPLS shim header that
can pass over essentially any network.

What RFC3021 refers to as the as the Incoming Label Map (ILM) I call
net->mpls.platform_label[].  What RFC3031 refers to as the Next Label
Hop Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) I call mpls_route.  Though calling it the
label fordwarding information base (lfib) might also be valid.

Further the implemntation forwards packets as described in RFC3032.
There is no need and given the original motivation for MPLS a strong
discincentive to have a flexible label forwarding path.  In essence
the logic is the topmost label is read, looked up, removed, and
replaced by 0 or more new lables and the sent out the specified
interface to it's next hop.

Quite a few optional features are not implemented here.  Among them
are generation of ICMP errors when the TTL is exceeded or the packet
is larger than the next hop MTU (those conditions are detected and the
packets are dropped instead of generating an icmp error).  The traffic
class field is always set to 0.  The implementation focuses on IP over
MPLS and does not handle egress of other kinds of protocols.

Instead of implementing coordination with the neighbour table and
sorting out how to input next hops in a different address family (for
which there is value).  I was lazy and implemented a next hop mac
address instead.  The code is simpler and there are flavor of MPLS
such as MPLS-TP where neither an IPv4 nor an IPv6 next hop is
appropriate so a next hop by mac address would need to be implemented
at some point.

Two new definitions AF_MPLS and PF_MPLS are exposed to userspace.

Decoding the mpls header must be done by first byeswapping a 32bit bit
endian word into the local cpu endian and then bit shifting to extract
the pieces.  There is no C bit-field that can represent a wire format
mpls header on a little endian machine as the low bits of the 20bit
label wind up in the wrong half of third byte.  Therefore internally
everything is deal with in cpu native byte order except when writing
to and reading from a packet.

For management simplicity if a label is configured to forward out
an interface that is down the packet is dropped early.  Similarly
if an network interface is removed rt_dev is updated to NULL
(so no reference is preserved) and any packets for that label
are dropped.  Keeping the label entries in the kernel allows
the kernel label table to function as the definitive source
of which labels are allocated and which are not.

Florian Westphal 1e16aa3ddf net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlers
skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
available to the output path.

A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.

Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.

This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work
when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.

Tom Herbert 53e5039896 net: Remove gso_send_check as an offload callback
The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and
UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo
header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related
gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed.

Simon Horman 0d89d2035f MPLS: Add limited GSO support
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.

SKB Usage:

When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:

* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
  skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.

* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.

* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
  end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code.  The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.

Features:

I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols.  Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here.  I am more than happy to change my implementation.

This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.

A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload.  Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.

Alternate Implementation:

One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.

MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.
