When applicable verify that the caller has permision to create a network device in another network namespace. This check is already present when moving a network device between network namespaces in setlink so all that is needed is to duplicate that check in newlink.

Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated. Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close(). (FIN , ACK packets, ...) This patch extends the information stored into global hash table to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value. I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts. For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash. Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big enough. If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if it is enabled for the rxqueue). This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU. This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.

ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the len member as *max* attribute length [0, len]. The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length is less than the size of the related structure itself. The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least data of minimum size of len.

A typical qdisc setup is the following : bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu doing the send. Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus, due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets. CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1 CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0 CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0) get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu might be different than CPUA. P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping), if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock) Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX queue for a while) To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb. We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu, granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for this union idea) Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set. Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW. The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack. It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier. No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible breakage of legacy applications.

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is used, the netdevice should be built in this link netns and moved at the end to another netns (pointed by the socket netns or IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). Existing user of the newlink handler will use the netns argument (src_net) to find a link netdevice or to check some other information into the link netns. For example, to find a netdevice, two information are required: an ifindex (usually from IFLA_LINK) and a netns (this link netns). Note: when using IFLA_LINK_NETNSID and IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD], a user may create a netdevice that stands in netnsX and with its link part in netnsY, by sending a rtnl message from netnsZ.

There is no point to include the destination address in the hash as that will always be the same for all inbound links.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

problems with bridge getlink/setlink notifications today: - bridge setlink generates two notifications to userspace - one from the bridge driver - one from rtnetlink.c (rtnl_bridge_notify) - dellink generates one notification from rtnetlink.c. Which means bridge setlink and dellink notifications are not consistent - Looking at the code it appears, If both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF were set, the size calculation in rtnl_bridge_notify can be wrong. Example: if you set both BRIDGE_FLAGS_MASTER and BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF in a setlink request to rocker dev, rtnl_bridge_notify will allocate skb for one set of bridge attributes, but, both the bridge driver and rocker dev will try to add attributes resulting in twice the number of attributes being added to the skb. (rocker dev calls ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink) There are multiple options: 1) Generate one notification including all attributes from master and self: But, I don't think it will work, because both master and self may use the same attributes/policy. Cannot pack the same set of attributes in a single notification from both master and slave (duplicate attributes). 2) Generate one notification from master and the other notification from self (This seems to be ideal): For master: the master driver will send notification (bridge in this example) For self: the self driver will send notification (rocker in the above example. It can use helpers from rtnetlink.c to do so. Like the ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink api). This patch implements 2) (leaving the 'rtnl_bridge_notify' around to be used with 'self'). v1->v2 : - rtnl_bridge_notify is now called only for self, so, remove 'BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF' check and cleanup a few things - rtnl_bridge_dellink used to always send a RTM_NEWLINK msg earlier.
