      net: Pass ndm_state to route netlink FDB notifications. · b3379041
      Hubert Sokolowski 提交于
      Before this change applications monitoring FDB notifications
      were not able to determine whether a new FDB entry is permament
      or not:
      bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f8 dev sw0p1 temp self
      bridge fdb add f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f9 dev sw0p1 self

      f1:f2:f3:f4:f5:f9 dev sw0p1 self permanent
      
      With this change ndm_state from the original netlink message
      is passed to the new netlink message sent as notification.

      ====================
      Add support for Geneve udp port offload
      
      This patch series adds new ndo ops for Geneve add/del port, so as
      to help offload Geneve tunnel functionalities such as RX checksum,
      RSS, filters etc.
      
      i40e driver has been tested with the changes to make sure the offloads
      happen.
      
      We do understand that this is not the ideal solution and most likely
      will be redone with a more generic offload framework.
      But this certainly will enable us to start seeing benefits of the
      accelerations for Geneve tunnels.
      
      As a side note, we did find an existing issue in i40e driver where a
      service task can modify tunnel data structures with no locks held to
      help linearize access. A separate patch will be taking care of that issue.
      
      A question out to the community is regarding the driver Kconfig parameters
      for VxLAN and Geneve, it would be ideal to drop those if there is a way
      to help resolve vxlan/geneve_get_rx_port symbols while the tunnel modules
      are not loaded.
      
      Performance numbers:
      With the offloads enable on X722 devices with remote checksum enabled
      and no other tuning in terms of cpu governer etc on my test machine:
      
      With offload
      Throughput: 5527Mbits/sec with a single thread
      %cpu: ~43% per core with 4 threads
      
      Without offload
      Throughput: 2364Mbits/sec with a single thread
      %cpu: ~99% per core with 4 threads
      
      These numbers will get better for X722 as it is being worked. But
      this does bring out the delta in terms of when the stack is notified
      with csum_level 1 and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY vs not without the RX offload.

      net: sctp: dynamically enable or disable pf state · 566178f8
      Zhu Yanjun 提交于
      As we all know, the value of pf_retrans >= max_retrans_path can
      disable pf state. The variables of pf_retrans and max_retrans_path
      can be changed by the userspace application.
      
      Sometimes the user expects to disable pf state while the 2
      variables are changed to enable pf state. So it is necessary to
      introduce a new variable to disable pf state.
      
      According to the suggestions from Vlad Yasevich, extra1 and extra2
      are removed. The initialization of pf_enable is added.

      batman-adv: lock crc access in bridge loop avoidance · 5a1dd8a4
      Simon Wunderlich 提交于
      We have found some networks in which nodes were constantly requesting
      other nodes BLA claim tables to synchronize, just to ask for that again
      once completed. The reason was that the crc checksum of the asked nodes
      were out of sync due to missing locking and multiple writes to the same
      crc checksum when adding/removing entries. Therefore the asked nodes
      constantly reported the wrong crc, which caused repeating requests.
      
      To avoid multiple functions changing a backbone gateways crc entry at
      the same time, lock it using a spinlock.

      David S. Miller 提交于
      Lorenzo Colitti says:
      
      ====================
      Support administratively closing application sockets
      
      This patchset adds the ability to administratively close a socket
      without any action from the process owning the socket or the
      socket protocol.
      
      It implements this by adding a new diag_destroy function pointer
      to struct proto. In-kernel callers can access this functionality
      directly by calling sk->sk_prot->diag_destroy(sk, err).
      
      It also exposes this functionality to userspace via a new
      SOCK_DESTROY operation in the NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG sockets. This
      allows a privileged userspace process, such as a connection
      manager or system administration tool, to close sockets belonging
      to other apps when the network they were established on has
      disconnected. It is needed on laptops and mobile hosts to ensure
      that network switches / disconnects do not result in applications
      being blocked for long periods of time (minutes) in read or
      connect calls on TCP sockets that will never succeed because the
      IP address they are bound to is no longer on the system. Closing
      the sockets causes these calls to fail fast and allows the apps
      to reconnect on another network.
      
      Userspace intervention is necessary because in many cases the
      kernel does not have enough information to know that a connection
      is now inoperable. The kernel can know if a packet can't be
      routed, but in general it won't know if a TCP connection is stuck
      because it is now routed to a network where its source address is
      no longer valid [5][6].
      
      Many other operating systems offer similar functionality:
      
       - FreeBSD has had this since 5.4 in 2005 [2]. It is available
         to privileged userspace and there is a tool to use it [3].
       - The FreeBSD commit description states that the idea came
         from OpenBSD.
       - iOS has been administratively closing app sockets since
         iOS 4 - see [4], which states that a socket "might get
         reclaimed by the kernel" and after that will return EBADF].
         For many years Android kernels have supported this via an
         out-of-tree SIOCKILLADDR ioctl that is called on every
         RTM_DELADDR event, but this solution is cleaner, more robust
         and more flexible: the connection manager can iterate over all
         connections on the deleted IP address and close all of them.
         It can also be used to close all sockets opened by a given app
         process, for example if the user has restricted that app from
         using the network, if a secure network such as a VPN has
         connected and security policy requires all of an application's
         connections to be routed via the VPN, etc.
       - For many years Android kernels have supported an out-of-tree
         SIOCKILLADDR ioctl that is called when a network disconnects
         or an RTM_DELADDR event is received. This solution is cleaner,
         more robust and more flexible. The connection manager can
         implement SIOCKILLADDR by iterating over all connections on
         the deleted IP address and close all of them, but it can also
         close all sockets opened by a given app process (for example
         if the user has restricted that app from), close all of a
         user's TCP connections if a user has connected a secure
         network such as a VPN and expects all of an application's
         connections to be routed via the VPN, etc.
      
      Alternative schemes such as TCP keepalives in combination with
      "iptables -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset", could be used to
      achieve similar results, but on mobile devices TCP keepalives are
      very expensive, and in such a scheme detecting stuck connections
      has to wait for a keepalive to be sent or the application to
      perform a write. An explicit notification from userspace is
      cheaper and faster in the common case where an application is
      blocked on read.
      
      SOCK_DESTROY is placed behind an INET_DIAG_DESTROY configuration
      option, which is currently off by default.
      
      The TCP implementation of diag_destroy causes a TCP ABORT as
      specified by RFC 793 [1]: immediately send a RST and clear local
      connection state. This is what happens today if an application
      enables SO_LINGER with a timeout of 0 and then calls close.
      
      The first versions of the patchset did not send a RST, but that
      is not graceful/correct TCP behaviour. tcp_abort now does a
      proper RFC 793 ABORT and sends a RST to the peer. This is
      consistent with BSD's tcpdrop, and is more correct in general,
      even though in many use cases tcp_abort will only be called when
      sending a RST is no longer possible (e.g., the network has
      disconnected).
      
      The original patchset also behaved like SIOCKILADDR and closed
      TCP sockets with ETIMEDOUT. Tom Herbert pointed out that it would
      be better if applications could distinguish between a timeout and
      an administrative close. ECONNABORTED was chosen because it is
      consistent with BSD.

      ====================
      ila: Optimization to preserve value of early demux
      
      In the current implementation of ILA, LWT is used to perform
      translation on both the input and output paths. This is functional,
      however there is a big performance hit in the receive path. Early
      demux occurs before the routing lookup (a hit actually obviates the
      route lookup). Therefore the stack currently performs early
      demux before translation so that a local connection with ILA
      addresses is never matched. Note that this issue is not just
      with ILA, but pretty much any translated or encapsulated packet
      handled by LWT would miss the opportunity for early demux. Solving
      the general problem seems non trivial since we would need to move
      the route lookup before early demx thereby mitigating the value.
      
      This patch set addresses the issue for ILA by adding a fast locator
      lookup that occurs before early demux. This done by hooking in to
      NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING
      
      For the backend we implement an rhashtable that contains identifier
      to locator to mappings. The table also allows more specific matches
      that include original locator and interface.
      
      This patch set:
       - Add an rhashtable function to atomically replace and element.
         This is useful to implement sub-trees from a table entry
         without needing to use a special anchor structure as the
         table entry.
       - Add a start callback for starting a netlink dump.
       - Creates an ila directory under net/ipv6 and moves ila.c to it.
         ila.c is split into ila_common.c and ila_lwt.c.
       - Implement a table to do identifier->locator mapping. This is
         an rhashtable (in ila_xlat.c).
       - Configuration for the table with netlink.
       - Add a hook into NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING to perform ILA translation
         before early demux.
      
      Changes in v2:
       - Use iptables targets instead of a new xfrm function
      
      Changes in v3:
       - Add __rcu to next pointer in struct ila_map
      
      Changes in v4:
       - Use hook for NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING
      
      Changed in v5:
       - Register hooks per namespace using nf_register_net_hooks
       - Only register hooks when first mapping is actually added
      
      Changed in v6:
        - Remove gfp argument in alloc_ila_locks, it is unnecessary
        - Set registered_hooks properly when hooks are registered

      Tom Herbert 提交于
      This patch implements an ILA tanslation table. This table can be
      configured with identifier to locator mappings, and can be be queried
      to resolve a mapping. Queries can be parameterized based on interface,
      direction (incoming or outoing), and matching locator.  The table is
      implemented using rhashtable and is configured via netlink (through
      "ip ila .." in iproute).
      
      The table may be used as alternative means to do do ILA tanslations
      other than the lw tunnels

      is running at <= 50Mhz. Also add device tree setting to config
      ptp clk source on socfpga platforms.
      
      Changes from V5:
      - Restore behaviour of unregister mdio bus when no phys found
        if there is no device tree node create the bus.
      - Modify condition to allocate mdio_base_data conditional
        on fixed phy presece as well. Maintains existing behaviour
        in conditions where a fixed phy is not present.

      ====================
      net: The beginning of the end for NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM
      
      Background:
      
      This patch set starts to address one front in the battle against
      protocol ossification. Protocol ossification describes the state
      that we have arrived at in the evolution of the Internet where we are
      materially limited to only using a very narrow range of protocols
      and protocol features. For instance, only TCP and UDP is sufficiently
      supported on the Internet so that deploying alternative protocols,
      such as SCTP and DCCP, are non-starters. Similarly, IP options and IPv6
      extension headers are typically not considered feasible for wide
      deployment, so we have loss the extensibility of IP protocols.
      
      Protocol ossification is not only a problem on the Internet, but in
      the data center as well. A root cause of this seems to be narrow,
      protocol specific optimizations implemented in switches (for doing
      EMCP) and in NICs (NIC offloads). These tend to be performance
      optimization around TCP and UDP packets, and these have become
      requirements to implement performant network solutions at scale.
      
      Attempts to deal with protocol ossification in data center have yielded
      ad hoc, sub-optimal solutions. A main driver of foo-over-UDP (e.g.
      GRE/UDP, MPLS/UDP) is to leverage the existing EMCP and RSS support for
      UDP by setting the source port as an entropy value. This has seen some
      success, but the cost of additional overhead and layering limits its
      usefulness.  An even more extreme solution is STT where non-TCP packets
      are spoofed as TCP to leverage NIC offloads.
      
      This patch set endeavours to address protocol ossification caused by
      techniques used in transmit checksum offload for NICs. Future work
      will address protocol ossification in the other primary NIC offloads--
      namely receive checksum offload, LSO, LRO, and RSS.
      
      NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM:
      
      NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM exemplify the problem of protocol
      ossification. These features are relics from a simpler time in the
      Internet, before encapsulation, before GRE and  IPIP. Many hardware
      vendors only saw the need to provide checksum offload for simple UDP and
      TCP packets over IPv4 (IPv6 support is an afterthought also). In today's
      Internet and data centers, checksum offload is well established as a
      valuable feature, but we can no longer afford to be contsrained to
      use a handful of protocols and features that are supported at the
      discretion of NIC vendors. Generic and protocol agnostic methods are
      needed.
      
      The actual interface that the stack uses with drivers for checksum
      offload is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is a generic and protocol agnostic
      interface. A driver for a device that supports this generic
      interface advertises NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
      
      Goals of this patch set:
      
      We propose that drivers advertise NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of protocol
      specific values of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM.  If the
      driver's device is constrained (for instance it can only offlaod simple
      IPv4 and IPv6 packets) then these constraints can be checked in the
      transmit path and skb_checksum_help would be called for packets that the
      driver is unable to offload. In order to facilitate this, we add some
      helper functions that takes a specification argument indicating the
      type of packets a device is able to offload. If a packet does not match
      the specification, the helper function calls skb_checksum_help.
      
      Benefits of this approach are:
        - Simplify the stack and clarify the interface for checksum offload
        - Encourage NIC vendors to implement the generic. protocol agnostic
          checksum offload methods in hardware
        - Encourage feature parity in NIC offloads for IPv4 and IPv6
      
      Many drivers advertise NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM and it
      probably isn't feasible to convert them all in a given time frame
      (although if we could this would be a great simplification to the
      stack). A reasonable direction may be to declare that new drivers must
      use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM as NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are
      considered deprecated.
      
      There is a class of drivers that should now be converted to advertise
      NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, namely those that support offload of ecapsulated
      checksums. These drivers have to date been using skb->encapsulation
      to infer that checksum offload is being performed for an encapsulated
      checksum. This is strictly not correct. skb->encapsulation
      indicates that the inner headers are valid in the skbuff, whereas
      the stack indicates checksum offload arguments exclusively in csum_start
      and csum_offset. At some point we may want to set the inner headers for
      an skbuff but offload the outer transport checksum, so this needs to be
      fixed.
      
      In this patch set:
      
        - Rename some of constants involved in checksum offload to be more
          reflective of their function
        - Eliminate NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_V[46]_CSUM entirely as
          unnecessary convolutions
        - Fix conditions in tcp_sendpage and tcp_sendmsg to take IP protocol
          into account when determining if checksum offload can be done
        - Add driver helper functions for determining if a checksum can
          be offloaded to a device. If not, the helper function can call
          skb_checksum_help
        - Document the checksum offload interface between the stack and
          drivers with detail and specifics
      
      Testing:
      
      Have been testing ixgbe and mlx4. No noticeable regressions seen yet.

      Add skb_csum_offload_chk driver helper function to determine if a
      device with limited checksum offload capabilities is able to offload the

      This patch includes:
        - The skb_csum_offload_chk function. Returns true if checksum is
          offloadable, else false. Optionally, in the case that the checksum
          is not offloable, the function can call skb_checksum_help to resolve
          the checksum. skb_csum_offload_chk also returns whether the checksum
          refers to an encapsulated checksum.
        - Definition of skb_csum_offl_spec structure that caller uses to
          indicate rules about what it can offload (e.g. IPv4/v6, TCP/UDP only,
          whether encapsulated checksums can be offloaded, whether checksum with
          IPv6 extension headers can be offloaded).
        - Ancilary functions called skb_csum_offload_chk_help,
          skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn_v4_only.
