2013-07-18vlan: mask vlan prio bitsEric Dumazet
In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols") Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this particular id. But we also have a problem if prio bits are set. Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set. Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000) being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address : 16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 > 9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64 0x0000: 0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651 0x0010: 0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213 0x0020: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0030: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now. We can probably do better in future kernels : vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of a per vlan_dev one. For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

2013-07-11gso: Update tunnel segmentation to support Tx checksum offloadAlexander Duyck
This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features. Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below: Utilization Send Throughput local GSO 10^6bits/s % S state 6276.51 8.39 enabled 7123.52 8.42 disabled To resolve this it was necessary to address two items. First netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for Q-in-Q tagging. To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer protocol. Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header offsets after the offload was complete. As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames: Utilization Send Throughput local GSO 10^6bits/s % S state 7123.52 8.42 disabled 8321.75 5.43 enabled v2: Instead of replacing refrence to skb->protocol with skb_network_protocol just replace the protocol reference in harmonize_features to allow for double VLAN tag checks.

2013-07-02core/dev: set pkt_type after eth_type_trans() in dev_forward_skb()Isaku Yamahata
The dev_forward_skb() assignment of pkt_type should be done after the call to eth_type_trans(). ip-encapsulated packets can be handled by localhost. But skb->pkt_type can be PACKET_OTHERHOST when packet comes via veth into ip tunnel device. In that case, the packet is dropped by ip_rcv().

2013-06-26net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.Nicolas Schichan
When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the devnet_rename_seq sequence. This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name()) and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt. The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying the access to give the writer process a chance to finish. The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the reader process in the contended case, but this is better than deadlocking the system.

2013-05-27MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module. MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross. Based in part on "v4 GRE: Add TCP segmentation offload for GRE" by Pravin B Shelar.

2013-05-20rps: selective flow shedding during softnet overflowWillem de Bruijn
A cpu executing the network receive path sheds packets when its input queue grows to netdev_max_backlog. A single high rate flow (such as a spoofed source DoS) can exceed a single cpu processing rate and will degrade throughput of other flows hashed onto the same cpu. This patch adds a more fine grained hashtable. If the netdev backlog is above a threshold, IRQ cpus track the ratio of total traffic of each flow (using 4096 buckets, configurable). The ratio is measured by counting the number of packets per flow over the last 256 packets from the source cpu. Any flow that occupies a large fraction of this (set at 50%) will see packet drop while above the threshold. Tested: Setup is a muli-threaded UDP echo server with network rx IRQ on cpu0, kernel receive (RPS) on cpu0 and application threads on cpus 2--7 each handling 20k req/s. Throughput halves when hit with a 400 kpps antagonist storm. With this patch applied, antagonist overload is dropped and the server processes its complete load. The patch is effective when kernel receive processing is the bottleneck. The above RPS scenario is a extreme, but the same is reached with RFS and sufficient kernel processing (iptables, packet socket tap, ..).

2013-04-05netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()Patrick McHardy
Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-03-29net: add a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister()Eric Dumazet
commit 35d48903e97819 (bonding: fix rx_handler locking) added a race in bonding driver, reported by Steven Rostedt who did a very good diagnosis : <quoting Steven> I'm currently debugging a crash in an old 3.0-rt kernel that one of our customers is seeing. The bug happens with a stress test that loads and unloads the bonding module in a loop (I don't know all the details as I'm not the one that is directly interacting with the customer). But the bug looks to be something that may still be present and possibly present in mainline too. It will just be much harder to trigger it in mainline. In -rt, interrupts are threads, and can schedule in and out just like any other thread. Note, mainline now supports interrupt threads so this may be easily reproducible in mainline as well. I don't have the ability to tell the customer to try mainline or other kernels, so my hands are somewhat tied to what I can do. But according to a core dump, I tracked down that the eth irq thread crashed in bond_handle_frame() here: slave = bond_slave_get_rcu(skb->dev); bond = slave->bond; <--- BUG the slave returned was NULL and accessing slave->bond caused a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the code that unregisters the handler: void netdev_rx_handler_unregister(struct net_device *dev) { ASSERT_RTNL(); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler, NULL); RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->rx_handler_data, NULL); } Which is basically: dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; And looking at __netif_receive_skb() we have: rx_handler = rcu_dereference(skb->dev->rx_handler); if (rx_handler) { if (pt_prev) { ret = deliver_skb(skb, pt_prev, orig_dev); pt_prev = NULL; } switch (rx_handler(&skb)) { My question to all of you is, what stops this interrupt from happening while the bonding module is unloading? What happens if the interrupt triggers and we have this: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- rx_handler = skb->dev->rx_handler netdev_rx_handler_unregister() { dev->rx_handler = NULL; dev->rx_handler_data = NULL; rx_handler() bond_handle_frame() { slave = skb->dev->rx_handler; bond = slave->bond; <-- NULL pointer dereference!!! What protection am I missing in the bond release handler that would prevent the above from happening? </quoting Steven> We can fix bug this in two ways. First is adding a test in bond_handle_frame() and others to check if rx_handler_data is NULL. A second way is adding a synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to make sure that a rcu protected reader has the guarantee to see a non NULL rx_handler_data. The second way is better as it avoids an extra test in fast path.

gso_segs were reset to zero when kernel receive packets from untrusted source. But we use this zero value to estimate precise packet len which is wrong.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.
