2014-04-24vxlan: add x-netns supportNicolas Dichtel
This patch allows to switch the netns when packet is encapsulated or decapsulated. The vxlan socket is openned into the i/o netns, ie into the netns where encapsulated packets are received. The socket lookup is done into this netns to find the corresponding vxlan tunnel. After decapsulation, the packet is injecting into the corresponding interface which may stand to another netns. When one of the two netns is removed, the tunnel is destroyed. Configuration example: ip netns add netns1 ip netns exec netns1 ip link set lo up ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan id 10 group 239.0.0.10 dev eth0 dstport 0 ip link set vxlan10 netns netns1 ip netns exec netns1 ip addr add 192.168.0.249/24 broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev vxlan10 ip netns exec netns1 ip link set vxlan10 up Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-01-21net: Add GRO support for vxlan trafficOr Gerlitz
Add GRO handlers for vxlann, by using the UDP GRO infrastructure. For single TCP session that goes through vxlan tunneling I got nice improvement from 6.8Gbs to 11.5Gbs --> UDP/VXLAN GRO disabled $ netperf -H 192.168.52.147 -c -C $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.52.147 -c -C MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.52.147 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 87380 65536 65536 10.00 6799.75 12.54 24.79 0.604 1.195 --> UDP/VXLAN GRO enabled $ netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 192.168.52.147 -c -C MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.52.147 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 87380 65536 65536 10.00 11562.72 24.90 20.34 0.706 0.577 Signed-off-by: Shlomo Pongratz <shlomop@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-10-29vxlan: Have the NIC drivers do less work for offloadsJoseph Gasparakis
This patch removes the burden from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to them.

2013-09-05vxlan: Notify drivers for listening UDP port changesJoseph Gasparakis
This patch adds two more ndo ops: ndo_add_rx_vxlan_port() and ndo_del_rx_vxlan_port(). Drivers can get notifications through the above functions about changes of the UDP listening port of VXLAN. Also, when physical ports come up, now they can call vxlan_get_rx_port() in order to obtain the port number(s) of the existing VXLAN interface in case they already up before them. This information about the listening UDP port would be used for VXLAN related offloads. A big thank you to John Fastabend (john.r.fastabend@intel.com) for his input and his suggestions on this patch set.
