* net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optionalDavid Ahern2016-02-261-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured down, including global, static addresses: $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip link set dev eth1 down $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>> Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1 or $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1 Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down. $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip link set dev eth1 down $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 state DOWN qlen 1000 inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: dsa: drop vlan_getnextVivien Didelot2016-02-251-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The VLAN GetNext operation is specific to some switches, and thus can be complicated to implement for some drivers. Remove the support for the vlan_getnext/port_pvid_get approach in favor of the generic and simpler port_vlan_dump function.

| | | | | | | | | | | Similar to port_fdb_dump, add a port_vlan_dump function to DSA drivers which gets passed the switchdev VLAN object and callback.

* net: dsa: pass bridge down to driversVivien Didelot2016-02-231-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some DSA drivers may or may not support multiple software bridges on top of an hardware switch. It is more convenient for them to access the bridge's net_device for finer configuration. Removing the need to craft and access a bitmask also simplifies the code. This patch changes the signature of bridge related functions, update DSA drivers, and removes dsa_slave_br_port_mask.

* netlink: remove mmapped netlink supportFlorian Westphal2016-02-181-332/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues: - TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.") because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink attribute validation but before message processing. - RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet payload to userspace. However, since commit ae08ce0021087a5d812d2 ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper). The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket behave different from normal skbs: - they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo() (e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used. - reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as it expects message to start at skb->head. See for instance commit aa3a022094fa ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump"). - skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached. Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches"). mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper used by nfqueue and openvswitch. Daniel Borkmann fixed this via commit 6bb0fef489f6 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining length to the allocation function. nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink: - mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages. Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot, but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A since seqno is decided later. To fix this we would need to extend the spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which isn't desirable. - nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace. Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation in the kernel, so this is a desirable option. However, with a mmap based ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets. To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.

* | net: Allow accepted sockets to be bound to l3mdev domainDavid Ahern2015-12-181-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept. This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket, with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated. A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3 domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev domain provides a complete solution. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This leads to the fact that on systems with more than 16 cpus we hit the xfrm garbage collector limit and refuse new allocations, so new flows are dropped. On systems with 16 or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit. In this case, we shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new flows. We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus. 2) Fix some unaligned accesses on sparc systems. From Sowmini Varadhan. 3) Fix some header checks in _decode_session4. We may call pskb_may_pull with a negative value converted to unsigened int from pskb_may_pull. This can lead to incorrect policy lookups. We fix this by a check of the data pointer position before we call pskb_may_pull. 4) Reload skb header pointers after calling pskb_may_pull in _decode_session4 as this may change the pointers into the packet. 5) Add a missing statistic counter on inner mode errors.

* | | | tcp: use RACK to detect lossesYuchung Cheng2015-10-211-0/+9

It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least "reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered. If so the packet is deemed lost. The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed. We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering (<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well. Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold instead of RACK. We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by setting it to 0.

* | | | tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filterYuchung Cheng2015-10-211-0/+8

It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.

The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the following scenario: Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet, they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to x.x.x.254/24. If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2. The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2, and will continue to use the wrong next-op. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

By default is off to retain the old behaviour. Patchset from Alex Gartrell. I'm also including what Alex originally said for the record: "The configuration of ipvs at Facebook is relatively straightforward. All ipvs instances bgp advertise a set of VIPs and the network prefers the nearest one or uses ECMP in the event of a tie. For the uninitiated, ECMP deterministically and statelessly load balances by hashing the packet (usually a 5-tuple of protocol, saddr, daddr, sport, and dport) and using that number as an index (basic hash table type logic). The problem is that ICMP packets (which contain really important information like whether or not an MTU has been exceeded) will get a different hash value and may end up at a different ipvs instance. With no information about where to route these packets, they are dropped, creating ICMP black holes and breaking Path MTU discovery. Suddenly, my mom's pictures can't load and I'm fielding midday calls that I want nothing to do with. To address this, this patch set introduces the ability to schedule icmp packets which is gated by a sysctl net.ipv4.vs.schedule_icmp. If set to 0, the old behavior is maintained -- otherwise ICMP packets are scheduled." 2) Add another proc entry to ignore tunneled packets to avoid routing loops from IPVS, also from Alex. 3) Fifteen patches from Eric Biederman to: * Stop passing nf_hook_ops as parameter to the hook and use the state hook object instead all around the netfilter code, so only the private data pointer is passed to the registered hook function. * Now that we've got state->net, propagate the netns pointer to netfilter hook clients to avoid its computation over and over again. A good example of how this has been simplified is the former TEE target (now nf_dup infrastructure) since it has killed the ugly pick_net() function. There's another round of netns updates from Eric Biederman making the line. To avoid the patchbomb again to almost all the networking mailing list (that is 84 patches) I'd suggest we send you a pull request with no patches or let me know if you prefer a better way. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
