[patch net-next v2 00/15] net: introduce upper device lists and remove dev->master

[patch net-next v2 00/15] net: introduce upper device lists and remove dev->master

[Jiri Pirko]

Hi all.

Recent discussion around
"[net-next] bonding: don't allow the master to become its slave"
forced me to think about upper<->lower device connections.

This patchset adds a possibility to record upper device linkage.
All upper<->lower devices are converted to use this mechanism right after.
That leads to dev->master removal because this info becomes redundant since
"unique links" have the same value.

After all changes, there is no longer possible to do:
"bond->someotherdevice->samebond"

Also I think that drivers like cxgb3, qlcnic, qeth would benefit by this
in future by being able to get more appropriate info about l3 addresses.

v1->v2:
- s/unique/master/ better naming + stays closer to the history
- fixed vlan err goto
- original patch 15 (WARN_ON change) is squashed into the first patch
- fixed netdev_unique_upper_dev_get_rcu() case of upper==NULL

[patch net-next v2 01/15] net: introduce upper device lists

[Jiri Pirko]

This lists are supposed to serve for storing pointers to all upper devices.
Eventually it will replace dev->master pointer which is used for
bonding, bridge, team but it cannot be used for vlan, macvlan where
there might be multiple upper present. In case the upper link is
replacement for dev->master, it is marked with "master" flag.

New upper device list resolves this limitation. Also, the information
stored in lists is used for preventing looping setups like
"bond->somethingelse->samebond"

Something I found interesting is that the dev->master pointer and now
netdev_master_upper_dev_get{,_rcu}() are hardly used by the stackled
drivers that set the master.  They also have to set an rx_handler on the
lower device (which is itself mutually exclusive) which gets its own
context pointer (rx_handler_data).

Instead, the master pointer is mostly used by device drivers to find out
about a bridge or bonding device above *their* devices.  And that seems
to work only for those specific device drivers, not e.g. openvswitch or
team.  I wonder if we could find a better way to encapsulate the things
they want do do, in a later step (not holding up this change!).

I think we will also need to limit the depth of the device stack so we
don't run out of stack space here.  __netif_receive() implements a kind
of tail recursion whenever a packet is passed up, but
__netdev_has_upper_dev() can't avoid doing real recursion (without the
addition of a flag to net_device so it can mark its progress).

The concept is master is very useful to user level config things like
Vyatta for seeing parent/child relationship. Since is in ABI now, it
must stay.

Yes. I was thinking about this as well. I believe that we should follow up
with this.

You are probably right. I'm not sure how to handle this correctly
though. Adding some hard limit number might not be correct.

The problem could be also resolved by adding another struct list_head
into struct upper and use this inside __netdev_has_upper_dev(). But that
does not seem right to me as well (Considering the fact that walking
through the tree could be in future done under _rcu).

I would just use a hard limit of something like 8 for now, and if we
need to expand this limit we can consider how to do so with real known
usage in mind rather than pure speculation.

Agreed, we need some kind of limit here.

I just started to review v1 when v2 came out, but luckily the changes
were not too significant that I need to start all over.

The first note is that I didn't like the use of the term 'upper' -- it
seems like 'stacked' might be a better alternative as these are stacked
devices.

One thing to note is that I don't see any clear changelog that states
the current goals for this.  You have stated in several places that it
will no longer be possible to create bonds of bonds, but there are
probably a few more things it might be wise to intentionally outlaw.

What about teams of teams?  Or teams of bonds?  Or bonds of teams?
Bonds of vlans?

When linking any two devices in a stack, one will be upper and the other
lower.  The lower device might itself be stacked on top of a further
device, so 'stacked' is not a useful distinguishing adjective in
variable names.  It might be a useful term in the commit messages and
kernel-doc, though.

[...]

It doesn't disallow bonds of bonds (unless I'm missing something).  It
disallows loops that involve any or all of those types of stacked
devices.

Exactly. It's every "upper driver" responsibility to check which device
it allows to be added as lower.
