* um: Loadable BPF "Firmware" for vector driversAnton Ivanov2019-11-251-18/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All vector drivers now allow a BPF program to be loaded and associated with the RX socket in the host kernel. 1. The program can be loaded as an extra kernel command line option to any of the vector drivers. 2. The program can also be loaded as "firmware", using the ethtool flash option. It is possible to turn this facility on or off using a command line option. A simplistic wrapper for generating the BPF firmware for the raw socket driver out of a tcpdump/libpcap filter expression can be found at: https://github.com/kot-begemot-uk/uml_vector_utilities/ Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

* um: Error handling fixes in vector driversAnton Ivanov2019-09-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the addition of bess support which uses connection oriented SEQPACKET sockets the vector routines can now encounter a "remote end closed the connection" scenario. This adds handling code to detect it in the TX path and the legacy RX path. There is no way to detect it in the vector RX path because that can legitimately return 0 even if the remote end has not closed the connection. As a result the detection is delayed until the first TX event after the close. Signed-off-by: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
* um: Added support for unix socket transports and bess transportAnton Ivanov2019-09-151-1/+87
| | | | | | | | | | This adds support for the UNIX domain socket transports in general and implements a Netsys::BESS compatible transport interface.

* Fix vector raw inintialization logicAnton Ivanov2018-03-291-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | | Vector RAW in UML needs to BPF filter its own MAC only if QDISC_BYPASS has failed. If QDISC_BYPASS is successful, the frames originated locally are not visible to readers on the raw socket.

* High Performance UML Vector Network DriverAnton Ivanov2018-02-191-0/+586
1. Provides infrastructure for vector IO using recvmmsg/sendmmsg. 1.1. Multi-message read. 1.2. Multi-message write. 1.3. Optimized queue support for multi-packet enqueue/dequeue. 1.4. BQL/DQL support. 2. Implements transports for several transports as well support for direct wiring of PWEs to NIC. Allows direct connection of VMs to host, other VMs and network devices with no switch in use. 2.1. Raw socket >4 times higher PPS and 10 times higher tcp RX than existing pcap based transport (> 4Gbit) 2.2. New tap transport using socket RX and tap xmit. Similar performance improvements (>4Gbit) 2.3. GRE transport - direct wiring to GRE PWE 2.4. L2TPv3 transport - direct wiring to L2TPv3 PWE 3. Tuning, performance and offload related setting support via ethtool. 4. Initial BPF support - used in tap/raw to avoid software looping 5. Scatter Gather support. 6. VNET and checksum offload support for raw socket transport. 7. TSO/GSO support where applicable or available 8. Migrates all error messages to netdevice_*() and rate limits them where needed.
