| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently building the net_failover docs causes a bunch of warnings to be emitted.

* | | skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing the skb.Flavio Leitner2018-06-281-5/+5
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sock reference is lost when scrubbing the packet and that breaks TSQ (TCP Small Queues) and XPS (Transmit Packet Steering) causing performance impacts of about 50% in a single TCP stream when crossing network namespaces. XPS breaks because the queue mapping stored in the socket is not available, so another random queue might be selected when the stack needs to transmit something like a TCP ACK, or TCP Retransmissions. That causes packet re-ordering and/or performance issues. TSQ breaks because it orphans the packet while it is still in the host, so packets are queued contributing to the buffer bloat problem. Preserving the sock reference fixes both issues. The socket is orphaned anyways in the receiving path before any relevant action and on TX side the netfilter checks if the reference is local before use it.

The main changes are: 1) Add a new BPF hook for sendmsg similar to existing hooks for bind and connect: "This allows to override source IP (including the case when it's set via cmsg(3)) and destination IP:port for unconnected UDP (slow path). TCP and connected UDP (fast path) are not affected. This makes UDP support complete, that is, connected UDP is handled by connect hooks, unconnected by sendmsg ones.", from Andrey. 2) Rework of the AF_XDP API to allow extending it in future for type writer model if necessary. In this mode a memory window is passed to hardware and multiple frames might be filled into that window instead of just one that is the case in the current fixed frame-size model. With the new changes made this can be supported without having to add a new descriptor format. Also, core bits for the zero-copy support for AF_XDP have been merged as agreed upon, where i40e bits will be routed via Jeff later on. Various improvements to documentation and sample programs included as well, all from Björn and Magnus. 3) Given BPF's flexibility, a new program type has been added to implement infrared decoders. Quote: "The kernel IR decoders support the most widely used IR protocols, but there are many protocols which are not supported. [...] There is a 'long tail' of unsupported IR protocols, for which lircd is need to decode the IR. IR encoding is done in such a way that some simple circuit can decode it; therefore, BPF is ideal. [...] user-space can define a decoder in BPF, attach it to the rc device through the lirc chardev.", from Sean. 4) Several improvements and fixes to BPF core, among others, dumping map and prog IDs into fdinfo which is a straight forward way to correlate BPF objects used by applications, removing an indirect call and therefore retpoline in all map lookup/update/delete calls by invoking the callback directly for 64 bit archs, adding a new bpf_skb_cgroup_id() BPF helper for tc BPF programs to have an efficient way of looking up cgroup v2 id for policy or other use cases. Fixes to make sure we zero tunnel/xfrm state that hasn't been filled, to allow context access wrt pt_regs in 32 bit archs for tracing, and last but not least various test cases for fixes that landed in bpf earlier, from Daniel. 5) Get rid of the ndo_xdp_flush API and extend the ndo_xdp_xmit with a XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag instead which allows to avoid one indirect call as flushing is now merged directly into ndo_xdp_xmit(), from Jesper. 6) Add a new bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() helper that can be used in tracing to retrieve the cgroup id from the current process in order to allow for e.g. aggregation of container-level events, from Yonghong. 7) Two follow-up fixes for BTF to reject invalid input values and related to that also two test cases for BPF kselftests, from Martin. 8) Various API improvements to the bpf_fib_lookup() helper, that is, dropping MPLS bits which are not fully hashed out yet, rejecting invalid helper flags, returning error for unsupported address families as well as renaming flowlabel to flowinfo, from David. 9) Various fixes and improvements to sockmap BPF kselftests in particular in proper error detection and data verification, from Prashant. 10) Two arm32 BPF JIT improvements. One is to fix imm range check with regards to whether immediate fits into 24 bits, and a naming cleanup to get functions related to rsh handling consistent to those handling lsh, from Wang. 11) Two compile warning fixes in BPF, one for BTF and a false positive to silent gcc in stack_map_get_build_id_offset(), from Arnd. 12) Add missing seg6.h header into tools include infrastructure in order to fix compilation of BPF kselftests, from Mathieu. 13) Several formatting cleanups in the BPF UAPI helper description that also fix an error during rst2man compilation, from Quentin. 14) Hide an unused variable in sk_msg_convert_ctx_access() when IPv6 is not built into the kernel, from Yue. 15) Remove a useless double assignment in dev_map_enqueue(), from Colin. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

| * xsk: new descriptor addressing schemeBjörn Töpel2018-06-041-43/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, AF_XDP only supports a fixed frame-size memory scheme where each frame is referenced via an index (idx). A user passes the frame index to the kernel, and the kernel acts upon the data. Some NICs, however, do not have a fixed frame-size model, instead they have a model where a memory window is passed to the hardware and multiple frames are filled into that window (referred to as the "type-writer" model). By changing the descriptor format from the current frame index addressing scheme, AF_XDP can in the future be extended to support these kinds of NICs. In the index-based model, an idx refers to a frame of size frame_size. Addressing a frame in the UMEM is done by offseting the UMEM starting address by a global offset, idx * frame_size + offset. Communicating via the fill- and completion-rings are done by means of idx. In this commit, the idx is removed in favor of an address (addr), which is a relative address ranging over the UMEM. To convert an idx-based address to the new addr is simply: addr = idx * frame_size + offset. We also stop referring to the UMEM "frame" as a frame. Instead it is simply called a chunk. To transfer ownership of a chunk to the kernel, the addr of the chunk is passed in the fill-ring. Note, that the kernel will mask addr to make it chunk aligned, so there is no need for userspace to do that. E.g., for a chunk size of 2k, passing an addr of 2048, 2050 or 3000 to the fill-ring will refer to the same chunk. On the completion-ring, the addr will match that of the Tx descriptor, passed to the kernel. Changing the descriptor format to use chunks/addr will allow for future changes to move to a type-writer based model, where multiple frames can reside in one chunk. In this model passing one single chunk into the fill-ring, would potentially result in multiple Rx descriptors. This commit changes the uapi of AF_XDP sockets, and updates the documentation.

Benjamin Poirier fixes a potential kernel crash due to NULL pointer dereference in e1000e. Jeff updates the kernel documentation for e100 and e1000 to correct default values and URLs which were incorrect in the documentation. Also took the time to update these to the new reStructured text format for kernel documentation. Joanna Yurdal fixes a missing PTP transmit timestamp by ensuring that TSICR gets cleared when ICR is cleared. Sergey updates igb to reset all the transmit queues at one time so that we only have to wait once for all the queues to be reset. Alex fixes ixgbevf so that malicious driver detection (MDD) can co-exist with XDP. Emil and Tony extend the RTNL lock to ensure we get the most up-to-date values for the bits and avoid a possible race condition when going down. YueHaibing from Huawei introduces a helper function in ixgbe for operation reads to simplify the code a bit more. Daniel Borkmann adds support for XDP meta data when using build SKB for i40e. Shannon Nelson provides twp fixes for the IPSec code in ixgbe, first is to make sure we do not try to offload the decryption of any incoming packet that is destined for the management engine. The other fix is to resolve a cast problem introduced by a sparse cleanup patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | | net-tcp: extend tcp_tw_reuse sysctl to enable loopback only optimizationMaciej Żenczykowski2018-06-041-3/+7

It now takes the values 0, 1 and 2, where 0 and 1 behave as before, while 2 enables timewait socket reuse only for sockets that we can prove are loopback connections: ie. bound to 'lo' interface or where one of source or destination IPs is 127.0.0.0/8, ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104 or ::1. This enables quicker reuse of ephemeral ports for loopback connections - where tcp_tw_reuse is 100% safe from a protocol perspective (this assumes no artificially induced packet loss on 'lo'). This also makes estblishing many loopback connections *much* faster (allocating ports out of the first half of the ephemeral port range is significantly faster, then allocating from the second half) Without this change in a 32K ephemeral port space my sample program (it just establishes and closes [::1]:ephemeral -> [::1]:server_port connections in a tight loop) fails after 32765 connections in 24 seconds. With it enabled 50000 connections only take 4.7 seconds. This is particularly problematic for IPv6 where we only have one local address and cannot play tricks with varying source IP from 127.0.0.0/8 pool.

* | virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when availableSridhar Samudrala2018-05-291-0/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address. It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest. It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is registered as 'primary' netdev. The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath. This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread. https://marc.info/?l=linux-virtualization&m=151189725224231&w=2 Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

* | net: Introduce generic failover moduleSridhar Samudrala2018-05-291-0/+18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

| * ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctlEric Biggers2018-05-251-6/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PPPIOCDETACH ioctl effectively tries to "close" the given ppp file before f_count has reached 0, which is fundamentally a bad idea. It does check 'f_count < 2', which excludes concurrent operations on the file since they would only be possible with a shared fd table, in which case each fdget() would take a file reference. However, it fails to account for the fact that even with 'f_count == 1' the file can still be linked into epoll instances. As reported by syzbot, this can trivially be used to cause a use-after-free. Yet, the only known user of PPPIOCDETACH is pppd versions older than ppp-2.4.2, which was released almost 15 years ago (November 2003). Also, PPPIOCDETACH apparently stopped working reliably at around the same time, when the f_count check was added to the kernel, e.g. see https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/31/83. Also, the current 'f_count < 2' check makes PPPIOCDETACH only work in single-threaded applications; it always fails if called from a multithreaded application. All pppd versions released in the last 15 years just close() the file descriptor instead. Therefore, instead of hacking around this bug by exporting epoll internals to modules, and probably missing other related bugs, just remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl and see if anyone actually notices. Leave a stub in place that prints a one-time warning and returns EINVAL.

* | tcp: support DUPACK threshold in RACKYuchung Cheng2018-05-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the classic DUPACK threshold rule (#DupThresh) in RACK. When the number of packets SACKed is greater or equal to the threshold, RACK sets the reordering window to zero which would immediately mark all the unsacked packets below the highest SACKed sequence lost. Since this approach is known to not work well with reordering, RACK only uses it if no reordering has been observed. The DUPACK threshold rule is a particularly useful extension to the fast recoveries triggered by RACK reordering timer. For example data-center transfers where the RTT is much smaller than a timer tick, or high RTT path where the default RTT/4 may take too long. Note that this patch differs slightly from RFC6675. RFC6675 considers a packet lost when at least #DupThresh higher-sequence packets are SACKed. With RACK, for connections that have seen reordering, RACK continues to use a dynamically-adaptive time-based reordering window to detect losses. But for connections on which we have not yet seen reordering, this patch considers a packet lost when at least one higher sequence packet is SACKed and the total number of SACKed packets is at least DupThresh. For example, suppose a connection has not seen reordering, and sends 10 packets, and packets 3, 5, 7 are SACKed. RFC6675 considers packets 1 and 2 lost. RACK considers packets 1, 2, 4, 6 lost. There is some small risk of spurious retransmits here due to reordering. However, this is mostly limited to the first flight of a connection on which the sender receives SACKs from reordering. And RFC 6675 and FACK loss detection have a similar risk on the first flight with reordering (it's just that the risk of spurious retransmits from reordering was slightly narrower for those older algorithms due to the margin of 3*MSS). Also the minimum reordering window is reduced from 1 msec to 0 to recover quicker on short RTT transfers. Therefore RACK is more aggressive in marking packets lost during recovery to reduce the reordering window timeouts.

The main changes are: 1) Provide a new BPF helper for doing a FIB and neighbor lookup in the kernel tables from an XDP or tc BPF program. The helper provides a fast-path for forwarding packets. The API supports IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS protocols, but currently IPv4 and IPv6 are implemented in this initial work, from David (Ahern). 2) Just a tiny diff but huge feature enabled for nfp driver by extending the BPF offload beyond a pure host processing offload. Offloaded XDP programs are allowed to set the RX queue index and thus opening the door for defining a fully programmable RSS/n-tuple filter replacement. Once BPF decided on a queue already, the device data-path will skip the conventional RSS processing completely, from Jakub. 3) The original sockmap implementation was array based similar to devmap. However unlike devmap where an ifindex has a 1:1 mapping into the map there are use cases with sockets that need to be referenced using longer keys. Hence, sockhash map is added reusing as much of the sockmap code as possible, from John. 4) Introduce BTF ID. The ID is allocatd through an IDR similar as with BPF maps and progs. It also makes BTF accessible to user space via BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID and adds exposure of the BTF data through BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, from Martin. 5) Enable BPF stackmap with build_id also in NMI context. Due to the up_read() of current->mm->mmap_sem build_id cannot be parsed. This work defers the up_read() via a per-cpu irq_work so that at least limited support can be enabled, from Song. 6) Various BPF JIT follow-up cleanups and fixups after the LD_ABS/LD_IND JIT conversion as well as implementation of an optimized 32/64 bit immediate load in the arm64 JIT that allows to reduce the number of emitted instructions; in case of tested real-world programs they were shrinking by three percent, from Daniel. 7) Add ifindex parameter to the libbpf loader in order to enable BPF offload support. Right now only iproute2 can load offloaded BPF and this will also enable libbpf for direct integration into other applications, from David (Beckett). 8) Convert the plain text documentation under Documentation/bpf/ into RST format since this is the appropriate standard the kernel is moving to for all documentation. Also add an overview README.rst, from Jesper. 9) Add __printf verification attribute to the bpf_verifier_vlog() helper. Though it uses va_list we can still allow gcc to check the format string, from Mathieu. 10) Fix a bash reference in the BPF selftest's Makefile. The '|& ...' is a bash 4.0+ feature which is not guaranteed to be available when calling out to shell, therefore use a more portable variant, from Joe. 11) Fix a 64 bit division in xdp_umem_reg() by using div_u64() instead of relying on the gcc built-in, from Björn. 12) Fix a sock hashmap kmalloc warning reported by syzbot when an overly large key size is used in hashmap then causing overflows in htab->elem_size. Reject bogus attr->key_size early in the sock_hash_alloc(), from Yonghong. 13) Ensure in BPF selftests when urandom_read is being linked that --build-id is always enabled so that test_stacktrace_build_id[_nmi] won't be failing, from Alexei. 14) Add bitsperlong.h as well as errno.h uapi headers into the tools header infrastructure which point to one of the arch specific uapi headers. This was needed in order to fix a build error on some systems for the BPF selftests, from Sirio. 15) Allow for short options to be used in the xdp_monitor BPF sample code. And also a bpf.h tools uapi header sync in order to fix a selftest build failure. Both from Prashant. 16) More formally clarify the meaning of ID in the direct packet access section of the BPF documentation, from Wang. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
