Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: Handle changes in GRE configuration Petr says: Until now, when an IP tunnel was offloaded by the mlxsw driver, the offload was pretty much static, and changes in Linux configuration were not reflected in the hardware. That led to discrepancies between traffic flows in slow path and fast path. The work-around used to be to remove all routes that forward to the netdevice and re-add them. This is clearly suboptimal, but actually, as of the decap-only patchset, it's not even enough anymore, and one needs to go all the way and simply drop the tunnel and recreate it correctly. With this patchset, the NETDEV_CHANGE events that are generated for changes of up'd tunnel netdevices are captured and interpreted to correctly reconfigure the HW in accordance with changes requested at the software layer. In addition, NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_DOWN are now handled not only for tunnel devices themselves, but also for their bound devices. Each change is then translated to one or more of the following updates to the HW configuration: - refresh of offload of local route that corresponds to tunnel's local address - refresh of the loopback RIF - refresh of offloads of routes that forward to the changed tunnel - removal of tunnel offloads These tools are used to implement the following configuration changes: - addition of a new offloadable tunnel with local address that conflicts with that of an already-offloaded tunnel (the existing tunnel is onloaded, the new one isn't offloaded) - changes to TTL, TOS that make tunnel unsuitable for offloading - changes to ikey, okey, remote - changes to local, which when they cause conflict with another tunnel, lead to onloading of both newly-conflicting tunnels - migration of a bound device of an offloaded tunnel device to a different VRF - changes to what device is bound to a tunnel device (i.e. like what "ip tunnel change name g dev another" does) - changes to up / down state of a bound device. A down bound device doesn't forward encapsulated traffic anymore, but decap still works. This patchset starts with a suite of patches that adapt the existing code base step by step to facilitate introduction of the offloading code. The five substantial patches at the end then implement the changes mentioned above. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
