2015-08-18vrf: simplify the netdev notifier functionNikolay Aleksandrov
We can drop the check because if vrf_ptr is present then we must have the vrf device as a master and since we're running with rtnl it can't go away. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-08-18vrf: don't check for dstats and rth in uninit pathNikolay Aleksandrov
dstats and rth are always present because we fail the device registration if they can't be allocated in vrf_init() (ndo_init) so drop the unnecessary checks. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-08-18vrf: drop unused num_slaves memberNikolay Aleksandrov
slave_queue has a num_slaves member which is unused, drop it. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-08-18vrf: drop unnecessary dev refcnt changesNikolay Aleksandrov
netdev_master_upper_dev_link/unlink already do a dev_hold/put on the devices being linked, so no need to take another reference. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-08-13net: Introduce VRF device driverDavid Ahern
This driver borrows heavily from IPvlan and teaming drivers. Routing domains (VRF-lite) are created by instantiating a VRF master device with an associated table and enslaving all routed interfaces that participate in the domain. As part of the enslavement, all connected routes for the enslaved devices are moved to the table associated with the VRF device. Outgoing sockets must bind to the VRF device to function. Standard FIB rules bind the VRF device to tables and regular fib rule processing is followed. Routed traffic through the box, is forwarded by using the VRF device as the IIF and following the IIF rule to a table that is mated with the VRF. Example: Create vrf 1: ip link add vrf1 type vrf table 5 ip rule add iif vrf1 table 5 ip rule add oif vrf1 table 5 ip route add table 5 prohibit default ip link set vrf1 up Add interface to vrf 1: ip link set eth1 master vrf1 Signed-off-by: Shrijeet Mukherjee <shm@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
