Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== netfilter/ipvs fixes for net The following patchset contains fixes for netfilter/ipvs. This round of fixes is larger than usual at this stage, specifically because of the nf_tables bridge reject fixes that I would like to see in 3.18. The patches are: 1) Fix a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging errors. This problem was introduced by 4a4739d56b0 ("ipvs: Pull out crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5. 2) Update hook mask in nft_reject_bridge so we can also filter out packets from there. This fixes 36d2af5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting"), which needs this chunk to work. 3) Two patches to refactor common code to forge the IPv4 and IPv6 reject packets from the bridge. These are required by the nf_tables reject bridge fix. 4) Fix nft_reject_bridge by avoiding the use of the IP stack to reject packets from the bridge. The idea is to forge the reject packets and inject them to the original port via br_deliver() which is now exported for that purpose. 5) Restrict nft_reject_bridge to bridge prerouting and input hooks. the original skbuff may cloned after prerouting when the bridge stack needs to flood it to several bridge ports, it is too late to reject the traffic. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-31netfilter: nf_reject_ipv4: split nf_send_reset() in smaller functionsPablo Neira Ayuso
That can be reused by the reject bridge expression to build the reject packet. The new functions are: * nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_get(): to sanitize and to obtain the TCP header. * nf_reject_iphdr_put(): to build the IPv4 header. * nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put(): to build the TCP header.

Some drivers are unable to perform TX completions in a bound time. They instead call skb_orphan() Problem is skb_fclone_busy() has to detect this case, otherwise we block TCP retransmits and can freeze unlucky tcp sessions on mostly idle hosts.

2014-10-30gre: Use inner mac length when computing tunnel lengthTom Herbert
Currently, skb_inner_network_header is used but this does not account for Ethernet header for ETH_P_TEB. Use skb_inner_mac_header which handles TEB and also should work with IP encapsulation in which case inner mac and inner network headers are the same.

2014-10-30ipv4: Do not cache routing failures due to disabled forwarding.Nicolas Cavallari
If we cache them, the kernel will reuse them, independently of whether forwarding is enabled or not. Which means that if forwarding is disabled on the input interface where the first routing request comes from, then that unreachable result will be cached and reused for other interfaces, even if forwarding is enabled on them. The opposite is also true. This can be verified with two interfaces A and B and an output interface C, where B has forwarding enabled, but not A and trying ip route get $dst iif A from $src && ip route get $dst iif B from $src Signed-off-by: Nicolas Cavallari <nicolas.cavallari@green-communications.fr> Reviewed-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-29inet: frags: remove the WARN_ON from inet_evict_bucketNikolay Aleksandrov
The WARN_ON in inet_evict_bucket can be triggered by a valid case: inet_frag_kill and inet_evict_bucket can be running in parallel on the same queue which means that there has been at least one more ref added by a previous inet_frag_find call, but inet_frag_kill can delete the timer before inet_evict_bucket which will cause the WARN_ON() there to trigger since we'll have refcnt!=1. Now, this case is valid because the queue is being "killed" for some reason (removed from the chain list and its timer deleted) so it will get destroyed in the end by one of the inet_frag_put() calls which reaches 0 i.e. refcnt is still valid.

2014-10-29inet: frags: fix a race between inet_evict_bucket and inet_frag_killNikolay Aleksandrov
When the evictor is running it adds some chosen frags to a local list to be evicted once the chain lock has been released but at the same time the *frag_queue can be running for some of the same queues and it may call inet_frag_kill which will wait on the chain lock and will then delete the queue from the wrong list since it was added in the eviction one. The fix is simple - check if the queue has the evict flag set under the chain lock before deleting it, this is safe because the evict flag is set only under that lock and having the flag set also means that the queue has been detached from the chain list, so no need to delete it again. An important note to make is that we're safe w.r.t refcnt because inet_frag_kill and inet_evict_bucket will sync on the del_timer operation where only one of the two can succeed (or if the timer is executing - none of them), the cases are: 1. inet_frag_kill succeeds in del_timer - then the timer ref is removed, but inet_evict_bucket will not add this queue to its expire list but will restart eviction in that chain 2. inet_evict_bucket succeeds in del_timer - then the timer ref is kept until the evictor "expires" the queue, but inet_frag_kill will remove the initial ref and will set INET_FRAG_COMPLETE which will make the frag_expire fn just to remove its ref. In the end all of the queue users will do an inet_frag_put and the one that reaches 0 will free it. The refcount balance should be okay.

2014-10-25tcp: md5: do not use alloc_percpu()Eric Dumazet
percpu tcp_md5sig_pool contains memory blobs that ultimately go through sg_set_buf(). -> sg_set_page(sg, virt_to_page(buf), buflen, offset_in_page(buf)); This requires that whole area is in a physically contiguous portion of memory. And that @buf is not backed by vmalloc(). Given that alloc_percpu() can use vmalloc() areas, this does not fit the requirements. Replace alloc_percpu() by a static DEFINE_PER_CPU() as tcp_md5sig_pool is small anyway, there is no gain to dynamically allocate it.

2014-10-22net: fix saving TX flow hash in sock for outgoing connectionsSathya Perla
The commit "net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit" introduced the inet_set_txhash() and ip6_set_txhash() routines to calculate and record flow hash(sk_txhash) in the socket structure. sk_txhash is used to set skb->hash which is used to spread flows across multiple TXQs. But, the above routines are invoked before the source port of the connection is created. Because of this all outgoing connections that just differ in the source port get hashed into the same TXQ. This patch fixes this problem for IPv4/6 by invoking the the above routines after the source port is available for the socket.

2014-10-20net: make skb_gso_segment error handling more robustFlorian Westphal
skb_gso_segment has three possible return values: 1. a pointer to the first segmented skb 2. an errno value (IS_ERR()) 3. NULL. This can happen when GSO is used for header verification. However, several callers currently test IS_ERR instead of IS_ERR_OR_NULL and would oops when NULL is returned. Note that these call sites should never actually see such a NULL return value; all callers mask out the GSO bits in the feature argument. However, there have been issues with some protocol handlers erronously not respecting the specified feature mask in some cases. It is preferable to get 'have to turn off hw offloading, else slow' reports rather than 'kernel crashes'. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-10-20net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlersFlorian Westphal
skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features available to the output path. A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels. Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits, as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation. This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains netfilter fixes for your net tree, they are: 1) Fix missing MODULE_LICENSE() in the new nf_reject_ipv{4,6} modules. 2) Restrict nat and masq expressions to the nat chain type. Otherwise, users may crash their kernel if they attach a nat/masq rule to a non nat chain. 3) Fix hook validation in nft_compat when non-base chains are used. Basically, initialize hook_mask to zero. 4) Make sure you use match/targets in nft_compat from the right chain type. The existing validation relies on the table name which can be avoided by 5) Better netlink attribute validation in nft_nat. This expression has to reject the configuration when no address and proto configurations are specified. 6) Interpret NFTA_NAT_REG_*_MAX if only if NFTA_NAT_REG_*_MIN is set. Yet another sanity check to reject incorrect configurations from userspace. 7) Conditional NAT attribute dumping depending on the existing configuration. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

2014-10-14tcp: TCP Small Queues and strange attractorsEric Dumazet
TCP Small queues tries to keep number of packets in qdisc as small as possible, and depends on a tasklet to feed following packets at TX completion time. Choice of tasklet was driven by latencies requirements. Then, TCP stack tries to avoid reorders, by locking flows with outstanding packets in qdisc in a given TX queue. What can happen is that many flows get attracted by a low performing TX queue, and cpu servicing TX completion has to feed packets for all of them, making this cpu 100% busy in softirq mode. This became particularly visible with latest skb->xmit_more support Strategy adopted in this patch is to detect when tcp_wfree() is called from ksoftirqd and let the outstanding queue for this flow being drained before feeding additional packets, so that skb->ooo_okay can be set to allow select_queue() to select the optimal queue : Incoming ACKS are normally handled by different cpus, so this patch gives more chance for these cpus to take over the burden of feeding qdisc with future packets.

We worked hard to improve tcp_ack() performance, by not accessing skb_shinfo() in fast path (cd7d8498c9a5 tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location) We still have one spurious access because of ACK timestamping, added in commit e1c8a607b281 ("net-timestamp: ACK timestamp for bytestreams") By checking if sk_tsflags has SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK set, we can avoid two cache line misses for the common case. While we are at it, add two prefetchw() : One in tcp_ack() to bring skb at the head of write queue. One in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() loop to bring following skb, as we will delete skb from the write queue and dirty skb->next->prev. Add a couple of [un]likely() clauses. After this patch, tcp_ack() is no longer the most consuming function in tcp stack.

2014-10-13netfilter: nf_tables: restrict nat/masq expressions to nat chain typePablo Neira Ayuso
This adds the missing validation code to avoid the use of nat/masq from non-nat chains. The validation assumes two possible configuration scenarios: 1) Use of nat from base chain that is not of nat type. Reject this configuration from the nft_*_init() path of the expression. 2) Use of nat from non-base chain. In this case, we have to wait until the non-base chain is referenced by at least one base chain via jump/goto. This is resolved from the nft_*_validate() path which is called from nf_tables_check_loops(). The user gets an -EOPNOTSUPP in both cases. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are... - percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed. This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging. There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of conflicts with s390 and other trees.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Most notable changes in here: 1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next, they are: 1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4 and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table. 2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy. 3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots in the network stack code. 4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash). 5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad) idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information back to userspace. 6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge. In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from this hooks too. 7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter. This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the br_netfilter modularization. 8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman. 9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition / deletion path.

When adjusting max_header for the tunnel interface based on egress device we need to account for any extra bytes in secondary encapsulation (e.g. FOU). Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-10-03netfilter: nft_masq: register/unregister notifiers on module init/exitArturo Borrero
We have to register the notifiers in the masquerade expression from the the module _init and _exit path. This fixes crashes when removing the masquerade rule with no ipt_MASQUERADE support in place (which was masking the problem).

2014-10-02netfilter: nft_reject: introduce icmp code abstraction for inet and bridgePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch introduces the NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_UNREACH type which provides an abstraction to the ICMP and ICMPv6 codes that you can use from the inet and bridge tables, they are: * NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_NO_ROUTE: no route to host - network unreachable * NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_PORT_UNREACH: port unreachable * NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_HOST_UNREACH: host unreachable * NFT_REJECT_ICMPX_ADMIN_PROHIBITED: administratevely prohibited You can still use the specific codes when restricting the rule to match the corresponding layer 3 protocol. I decided to not overload the existing NFT_REJECT_ICMP_UNREACH to have different semantics depending on the table family and to allow the user to specify ICMP family specific codes if they restrict it to the corresponding family.

2014-10-01udp: Generalize skb_udp_segmentTom Herbert
skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol. The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol (in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation is occuring. When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function directly).
