[PATCH net-next v3 4/6] rtnetlink: Decouple net namespaces in rtnl_newlink_create()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are three net namespaces involved when creating links:

 - source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
 - target netns - where to put the device being created,
 - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend).

Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on whether IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present.

 +-------------------+---------+---------+
 | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +-------------------+---------+---------+
 | absent            | source  | target  |
 +-------------------+---------+---------+
 | present           | link    | link    |
 +-------------------+---------+---------+

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first. This has some side effects, including extra ifindex allocation,
ifname validation and link notifications. There's also an extra step to
move the device to target netns. These could be avoided if we create it
in target netns at the beginning.

On the other hand, the meaning of src_net is ambiguous. It should be
the effective link netns by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.

This patch refactors netns handling. rtnl_newlink_create() now creates
devices in target netns directly, so dev_net is always target netns.
Source and link netns are passed to newlink() as src_net and link_net in
a new struct consistently.

When determining the effective link netns, in the absence link_net,
drivers should look for src_net in general. But for compatibility,
drivers that use dev_net will keep current behavior.

There're some issues found when coverting drivers. Please check if they
work as intended:

- In amt_newlink() drivers/net/amt.c:

    amt->net = net;
    ...
    amt->stream_dev = dev_get_by_index(net, ...

  Uses net (src_net actually), but amt_lookup_upper_dev() only searches
  in dev_net.

- In gtp_newlink() in drivers/net/gtp.c:

    gtp->net = src_net;
    ...
    gn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), gtp_net_id);
    list_add_rcu(&gtp->list, &gn->gtp_dev_list);

  Uses src_net, but is linked to list in dev_net.

- In pfcp_newlink() in drivers/net/pfcp.c:

    pfcp->net = net;
    ...
    pn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), pfcp_net_id);
    list_add_rcu(&pfcp->list, &pn->pfcp_dev_list);

  Same.

- In lowpan_newlink() in net/ieee802154/6lowpan/core.c:

    wdev = dev_get_by_index(dev_net(ldev), nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]));

  Looks for IFLA_LINK in dev_net, but in theory the ifindex is defined
  in link netns.
