This patch adds the sock_diag interface for querying sockets from userspace. Tools like ss(8) and netstat(8) can use this interface to list open sockets. The userspace ABI is defined in <linux/vm_sockets_diag.h> and includes netlink request and response structs. The request can query sockets based on their sk_state (e.g. listening sockets only) and the response contains socket information fields including the local/remote addresses, inode number, etc. This patch does not dump VMCI pending sockets because I have only tested the virtio transport, which does not use pending sockets. Support can be added later by extending vsock_diag_dump() if needed by VMCI users. Signed-off-by: NStefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

x-netns interfaces are bound to two netns: the link netns and the upper netns. Usually, this kind of interfaces is created in the link netns and then moved to the upper netns. At the end, the interface is visible only in the upper netns. The link nsid is advertised via netlink in the upper netns, thus the user always knows where is the link part. There is no such mechanism in the link netns. When the interface is moved to another netns, the user cannot "follow" it. This patch adds a new netlink attribute which helps to follow an interface which moves to another netns. When the interface is unregistered, the new nsid is advertised. If the interface is a x-netns interface (ie rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net is defined), the nsid is allocated if needed. CC: Jason A.

introduce BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag that can be used to attach multiple bpf programs to a cgroup. The difference between three possible flags for BPF_PROG_ATTACH command: - NONE(default): No further bpf programs allowed in the subtree. - BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup program. - BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this cgroup. NONE and BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE existed before. This patch doesn't change their behavior. It only clarifies the semantics in relation to new flag. Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with NONE or BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag. Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were attached first, run first) The programs of sub-cgroup are executed first, then programs of this cgroup and then programs of parent cgroup. All eligible programs are executed regardless of return code from earlier programs. To allow efficient execution of multiple programs attached to a cgroup and to avoid penalizing cgroups without any programs attached introduce 'struct bpf_prog_array' which is RCU protected array of pointers to bpf programs.

This patch introduces RFC Draft ndata section 3.4 Priority Based Scheduler (SCTP_SS_PRIO). It works by having a struct sctp_stream_priority for each priority configured. This struct is then enlisted on a queue ordered per priority if, and only if, there is a stream with data queued, so that dequeueing is very straightforward: either finish current datamsg or simply dequeue from the highest priority queued, which is the next stream pointed, and that's it. If there are multiple streams assigned with the same priority and with data queued, it will do round robin amongst them while respecting datamsgs boundaries (when not using idata chunks), to be reasonably fair. We intentionally don't maintain a list of priorities nor a list of all streams with the same priority to save memory. The first would mean at least 2 other pointers per priority (which, for 1000 priorities, that can mean 16kB) and the second would also mean 2 other pointers but per stream. As SCTP supports up to 65535 streams on a given asoc, that's 1MB. This impacts when giving a priority to some stream, as we have to find out if the new priority is already being used and if we can free the old one, and also when tearing down. The new fields in struct sctp_stream_out_ext and sctp_stream are added under a union because that memory is to be shared with other schedulers.

This patch introduces the hooks necessary to do stream scheduling, as per RFC Draft ndata. It also introduces the first scheduler, which is what we do today but now factored out: first come first served (FCFS). With stream scheduling now we have to track which chunk was enqueued on which stream and be able to select another other than the in front of the main outqueue. So we introduce a list on sctp_stream_out_ext structure for this purpose. We reuse sctp_chunk->transmitted_list space for the list above, as the chunk cannot belong to the two lists at the same time. By using the union in there, we can have distinct names for these moments. sctp_sched_ops are the operations expected to be implemented by each scheduler. The dequeueing is a bit particular to this implementation but it is to match how we dequeue packets today. We first dequeue and then check if it fits the packet and if not, we requeue it at head. Thus why we don't have a peek operation but have dequeue_done instead, which is called once the chunk can be safely considered as transmitted. The check removed from sctp_outq_flush is now performed by sctp_stream_outq_migrate, which is only called during assoc setup. (sctp_sendmsg() also checks for it) The only operation that is foreseen but not yet added here is a way to signalize that a new packet is starting or that the packet is done, for round robin scheduler per packet, but is intentionally left to the patch that actually implements it. Support for I-DATA chunks, also described in this RFC, with user message interleaving is straightforward as it just requires the schedulers to probe for the feature and ignore datamsg boundaries when dequeueing.

Add an event that indicates that a connection is authorized (i.e. the 4 way handshake was performed by the driver). This event should be sent by the driver after sending a connect/roamed event. This is useful for networks that require 802.1X authentication. In cases that the driver supports 4 way handshake offload, but the 802.1X authentication is managed by user space, the driver needs to inform user space right after the 802.11 association was completed so user space can initialize its 802.1X state machine etc. However, it is also possible that the AP will choose to skip the 802.1X authentication (e.g. when PMKSA caching is used) and proceed with the 4 way handshake immediately. In this case the driver needs to inform user space that 802.1X authentication is no longer required (e.g. to prevent user space from disconnecting since it did not get any EAPOLs from the AP). This is also useful for roaming, in which case it is possible that the driver used the Fast Transition protocol so 802.1X is not required. Since there will now be a dedicated notification indicating that the connection is authorized, the authorized flag can be removed from the roamed event. Drivers can send the new port authorized event right after sending the roamed event to indicate the new AP is already authorized. This therefore reserves the old PORT_AUTHORIZED attribute.

So far we've been relying on sockopt(SOL_IP, IP_FREEBIND) being usable even on IPv6 sockets. However, it turns out it is perfectly reasonable to want to set freebind on an AF_INET6 SOCK_RAW socket - but there is no way to set any SOL_IP socket option on such a socket (they're all blindly errored out). One use case for this is to allow spoofing src ip on a raw socket via sendmsg cmsg. Tested: built, and booted # python >>> import socket >>> SOL_IP = socket.SOL_IP >>> SOL_IPV6 = socket.IPPROTO_IPV6 >>> IP_FREEBIND = 15 >>> IPV6_FREEBIND = 78 >>> s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0) >>> s.getsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_FREEBIND) 0 >>> s.getsockopt(SOL_IPV6, IPV6_FREEBIND) 0 >>> s.setsockopt(SOL_IPV6, IPV6_FREEBIND, 1) >>> s.getsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_FREEBIND) 1 >>> s.getsockopt(SOL_IPV6, IPV6_FREEBIND) 1 Signed-off-by: NMaciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The patch adds name and load_time to struct bpf_prog_aux. They are also exported to bpf_prog_info. The bpf_prog's name is passed by userspace during BPF_PROG_LOAD. The kernel only stores the first (BPF_PROG_NAME_LEN - 1) bytes and the name stored in the kernel is always \0 terminated. The kernel will reject name that contains characters other than isalnum() and '_'. It will also reject name that is not null terminated. The existing 'user->uid' of the bpf_prog_aux is also exported to the bpf_prog_info as created_by_uid. The existing 'used_maps' of the bpf_prog_aux is exported to the newly added members 'nr_map_ids' and 'map_ids' of the bpf_prog_info. On the input, nr_map_ids tells how big the userspace's map_ids buffer is. On the output, nr_map_ids tells the exact user_map_cnt and it will only copy up to the userspace's map_ids buffer is allowed.

We need to be able to transparently forward most link-local frames via tunnels (e.g. vxlan, qinq). Currently the bridge's group_fwd_mask has a mask which restricts the forwarding of STP and LACP, but we need to be able to forward these over tunnels and control that forwarding on a per-port basis thus add a new per-port group_fwd_mask option which only disallows mac pause frames to be forwarded (they're always dropped anyway). The patch does not change the current default situation - all of the others are still restricted unless configured for forwarding. We have successfully tested this patch with LACP and STP forwarding over VxLAN and qinq tunnels. Signed-off-by: NNikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This work enables generic transfer of metadata from XDP into skb. The basic idea is that we can make use of the fact that the resulting skb must be linear and already comes with a larger headroom for supporting bpf_xdp_adjust_head(), which mangles xdp->data. Here, we base our work on a similar principle and introduce a small helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() for adjusting a new pointer called xdp->data_meta. Thus, the packet has a flexible and programmable room for meta data, followed by the actual packet data. struct xdp_buff is therefore laid out that we first point to data_hard_start, then data_meta directly prepended to data followed by data_end marking the end of packet. bpf_xdp_adjust_head() takes into account whether we have meta data already prepended and if so, memmove()s this along with the given offset provided there's enough room. xdp->data_meta is optional and programs are not required to use it. The rationale is that when we process the packet in XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), we can push further meta data along with it for the XDP_PASS case, and give the guarantee that a clsact ingress BPF program on the same device can pick this up for further post-processing. Since we work with skb there, we can also set skb->mark, skb->priority or other skb meta data out of BPF, thus having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for more flexibility than defining a direct 1:1 transfer of potentially new XDP members into skb (it's also more efficient as we don't need to initialize/handle each of such new members). The facility also works together with GRO aggregation. The scratch space at the head of the packet can be multiple of 4 byte up to 32 byte large. Drivers not yet supporting xdp->data_meta can simply be set up with xdp->data_meta as xdp->data + 1 as bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() will detect this and bail out, such that the subsequent match against xdp->data for later access is guaranteed to fail. The verifier treats xdp->data_meta/xdp->data the same way as we treat xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons. The requirement for doing the compare against xdp->data is that it hasn't been modified from it's original address we got from ctx access. It may have a range marking already from prior successful xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons though.

Add a TUN/TAP receive mode that exercises the napi_gro_frags() interface. This mode is available only in TAP mode, as the interface expects packets with Ethernet headers. Furthermore, packets follow the layout of the iovec_iter that was received. The first iovec is the linear data, and every one after the first is a fragment. If there are more fragments than the max number, drop the packet. Additionally, invoke eth_get_headlen() to exercise flow dissector code and to verify that the header resides in the linear data. The napi_gro_frags() mode requires setting the IFF_NAPI_FRAGS option. This is imposed because this mode is intended for testing via tools like syzkaller and packetdrill, and the increased flexibility it provides can introduce security vulnerabilities. This flag is accepted only if the device is in TAP mode and has the IFF_NAPI flag set as well. This is done because both of these are explicit requirements for correct operation in this mode.

The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e ("dm ioctl: report event number in DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries. Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace can use the version number to determine that the event number is present and correctly located. In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created, removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor for device changes.

Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this is mostly for the legacy path where we do: ethtool_get_settings() -> dev->ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings() -> convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.

Differ between illegal XDP action code and just driver unsupported one to provide better feedback when we throw a one-time warning here. Reason is that with 814abfab ("xdp: add bpf_redirect helper function") not all drivers support the new XDP return code yet and thus they will fall into their 'default' case when checking for return codes after program return, which then triggers a bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() stating that the return code is illegal, but from XDP perspective it's not. I decided not to place something like a XDP_ACT_MAX define into uapi i) given we don't have this either for all other program types, ii) future action codes could have further encoding there, which would render such define unsuitable and we wouldn't be able to rip it out again, and iii) we rarely add new action codes.

This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.com The Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model. This new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory. One straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create. They can use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory. The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages. If this option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory. Using hugetlbfs, it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings. However, this introduces additional system admin work and coordination. Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit mounting of a filesystem. Today, mmap and shmget can make use of hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem. The patch adds this functionality to memfd_create. Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. As with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments. hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL. Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of functionality moves forward.

No ABI change, but this will make it more explicit to software that ptid is only available if requested by passing UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID to UFFDIO_API. The fact it's a union will also self document it shouldn't be taken for granted there's a tpid there.

It could be useful for calculating downtime during postcopy live migration per vCPU. Side observer or application itself will be informed about proper task's sleep during userfaultfd processing. Process's thread id is being provided when user requeste it by setting UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID bit into uffdio_api.features.

In some cases, userfaultfd mechanism should just deliver a SIGBUS signal to the faulting process, instead of the page-fault event. Dealing with page-fault event using a monitor thread can be an overhead in these cases. For example applications like the database could use the signaling mechanism for robustness purpose. Database uses hugetlbfs for performance reason. Files on hugetlbfs filesystem are created and huge pages allocated using fallocate() API. Pages are deallocated/freed using fallocate() hole punching support. These files are mmapped and accessed by many processes as shared memory. The database keeps track of which offsets in the hugetlbfs file have pages allocated. Any access to mapped address over holes in the file, which can occur due to bugs in the application, is considered invalid and expect the process to simply receive a SIGBUS. However, currently when a hole in the file is accessed via the mapped address, kernel/mm attempts to automatically allocate a page at page fault time, resulting in implicitly filling the hole in the file. This may not be the desired behavior for applications like the database that want to explicitly manage page allocations of hugetlbfs files. Using userfaultfd mechanism with this support to get a signal, database application can prevent pages from being allocated implicitly when processes access mapped address over holes in the file. This patch adds UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS feature to userfaultfd mechnism to request for a SIGBUS signal. See following for previous discussion about the database requirement leading to this proposal as suggested by Andrea. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg129224.html Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1501552446-748335-2-git-send-email-prakash.sangappa@oracle.comSigned-off-by: NPrakash Sangappa <prakash.sangappa@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: NMike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NAndrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

A non-default huge page size can be encoded in the flags argument of the mmap system call. The definitions for these encodings are in arch specific header files. However, all architectures use the same values. Consolidate all the definitions in the primary user header file (uapi/linux/mman.h). Include definitions for all known huge page sizes. Use the generic encoding definitions in hugetlb_encode.h as the basis for these definitions.

Usually, CA messages are sent/received via reading/writing at the CA device node. However, two drivers (dst_ca and firedtv-ci) also implement it via ioctls.
