      mpls: allow routes on ipgre devices · 0d227a86
      Simon Horman 提交于
      This appears to be necessary and sufficient to provide
      MPLS in GRE (RFC4023) support.
      
      This can be used by establishing an ipgre tunnel device
      and then routing MPLS over it.
      
      The following example will forward MPLS frames received with an outermost
      MPLS label 100 over tun1, a GRE tunnel. The forwarded packet will have the
      outermost MPLS LSE removed and two new LSEs added with labels 200
      (outermost) and 300 (next).
      
      ip link add name tun1 type gre remote 10.0.99.193 local 10.0.99.192 ttl 225
      ip link set up dev tun1
      ip addr add 10.0.98.192/24 dev tun1
      ip route sh
      
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/mpls/conf/eth0/input
      echo 101 > /proc/sys/net/mpls/platform_labels
      ip -f mpls route add 100 as 200/300 via inet 10.0.98.193
      ip -f mpls route sh
      
      Also remove unnecessary braces.

      mpls: find_outdev: check for err ptr in addition to NULL check · 94a57f1f
      Roopa Prabhu 提交于
      find_outdev calls inet{,6}_fib_lookup_dev() or dev_get_by_index() to
      find the output device. In case of an error, inet{,6}_fib_lookup_dev()
      returns error pointer and dev_get_by_index() returns NULL. But the function
      only checks for NULL and thus can end up calling dev_put on an ERR_PTR.
      This patch adds an additional check for err ptr after the NULL check.

      path to 10.1.1.8 and no default route:

      mpls: fix out-of-bounds access when via address not specified · eb7809f0
      Robert Shearman 提交于
      When a via address isn't specified, the via table is left initialised
      to 0 (NEIGH_ARP_TABLE), and the via address length also left
      initialised to 0. This results in a via address array of length 0
      being allocated (contiguous with route and nexthop array), meaning
      that when a packet is sent using neigh_xmit the neighbour lookup and
      creation will cause an out-of-bounds access when accessing the 4 bytes
      of the IPv4 address it assumes it has been given a pointer to.
      
      This could be fixed by allocating the 4 bytes of via address necessary
      and leaving it as all zeroes. However, it seems wrong to me to use an
      ipv4 nexthop (including possibly ARPing for 0.0.0.0) when the user
      didn't specify to do so.
      
      Instead, set the via address table to NEIGH_NR_TABLES to signify it
      hasn't been specified and use this at forwarding time to signify a
      neigh_xmit using an L2 address consisting of the device address. This
      mechanism is the same as that used for both ARP and ND for loopback
      interfaces and those flagged as no-arp, which are all we can really
      support in this case.

      mpls: don't dump RTA_VIA attribute if not specified · 72dcac96
      Robert Shearman 提交于
      The problem seen is that when adding a route with a nexthop with no
      via address specified, iproute2 generates bogus output:
      
        # ip -f mpls route add 100 dev lo
        # ip -f mpls route list
        100 via inet 0.0.8.0 dev lo
      
      The reason for this is that the kernel generates an RTA_VIA attribute
      with the family set to AF_INET, but the via address data having zero
      length. The cause of family being AF_INET is that on route insert
      cfg->rc_via_table is left set to 0, which just happens to be
      NEIGH_ARP_TABLE which is then translated into AF_INET.
      
      iproute2 doesn't validate the length prior to printing and so prints
      garbage. Although it could be fixed to do the validation, I would
      argue that AF_INET addresses should always be exactly 4 bytes so the
      kernel is really giving userspace bogus data.
      
      Therefore, avoid generating the RTA_VIA attribute when dumping the
      route if the via address wasn't specified on add/modify. This is
      indicated by NEIGH_ARP_TABLE and a zero via address length - if the
      user specified a via address the address length would have been
      validated such that it was 4 bytes. Although this is a change in
      behaviour that is visible to userspace, I believe that what was
      generated before was invalid and as such userspace wouldn't be
      expecting it.

      Adds support for RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags on mpls
      routes due to link events. Also adds code to ignore dead

      mpls: reduce memory usage of routes · cf4b24f0
      Robert Shearman 提交于
      Nexthops for MPLS routes have a via address field sized for the
      largest via address that is expected, which is 32 bytes. This means
      that in the most common case of having ipv4 via addresses, 28 bytes of
      memory more than required are used per nexthop. In the other common
      case of an ipv6 nexthop then 16 bytes more than required are
      used. With large numbers of MPLS routes this extra memory usage could
      start to become significant.
      
      To avoid allocating memory for a maximum length via address when not
      all of it is required and to allow for ease of iterating over
      nexthops, then the via addresses are changed to be stored in the same
      memory block as the route and nexthops, but in an array after the end
      of the array of nexthops. New accessors are provided to retrieve a
      pointer to the via address.
      
      To allow for O(1) access without having to store a pointer or offset
      per nh, the via address for each nexthop is sized according to the
      maximum via address for any nexthop in the route, which is stored in a
      new route field, rt_max_alen, but this is in an existing hole in
      struct mpls_route so it doesn't increase the size of the
      structure. Each via address is ensured to be aligned to VIA_ALEN_ALIGN
      to account for architectures that don't allow unaligned accesses.

      Naturally, a 5-tuple hash using L4 information in addition would be
      possible and be better in some scenarios, but there is a tradeoff
      between looking deeper into the packet to achieve good distribution,
      and packet forwarding performance, and I have erred on the side of the
      latter as the default.

      mpls: multipath route support · f8efb73c
      Roopa Prabhu 提交于
      This patch adds support for MPLS multipath routes.
      
      Includes following changes to support multipath:
      - splits struct mpls_route into 'struct mpls_route + struct mpls_nh'
      
      - 'struct mpls_nh' represents a mpls nexthop label forwarding entry
      
      - moves mpls route and nexthop structures into internal.h
      
      - A mpls_route can point to multiple mpls_nh structs
      
      - the nexthops are maintained as a array (similar to ipv4 fib)
      
      - In the process of restructuring, this patch also consistently changes
        all labels to u8
      
      - Adds support to parse/fill RTA_MULTIPATH netlink attribute for
      multipath routes similar to ipv4/v6 fib
      
      - In this patch, the multipath route nexthop selection algorithm
      simply returns the first nexthop. It is replaced by a
      hash based algorithm from Robert Shearman in the next patch
      
      - mpls_route_update cleanup: remove 'dev' handling in mpls_route_update.
      mpls_route_update though implemented to update based on dev, it was
      never used that way. And the dev handling gets tricky with multiple
      nexthops. Cannot match against any single nexthops dev. So, this patch
      removes the unused 'dev' handling in mpls_route_update.
      
      - dead route/path handling will be implemented in a subsequent patch
      
      Example:
      
      $ip -f mpls route add 100 nexthop as 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 \
                      nexthop as 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 \
                      nexthop as 800 via inet 40.1.1.2 dev swp3
      
      $ip  -f mpls route show
      100
              nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2  dev swp1
              nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6  dev swp2
              nexthop as to 800 via inet 40.1.1.2  dev swp3

      mpls: Enforce payload type of traffic sent using explicit NULL · 118d5234
      Robert Shearman 提交于
      RFC 4182 s2 states that if an IPv4 Explicit NULL label is the only
      label on the stack, then after popping the resulting packet must be
      treated as a IPv4 packet and forwarded based on the IPv4 header. The
      same is true for IPv6 Explicit NULL with an IPv6 packet following.
      
      Therefore, when installing the IPv4/IPv6 Explicit NULL label routes,
      add an attribute that specifies the expected payload type for use at
      forwarding time for determining the type of the encapsulated packet
      instead of inspecting the first nibble of the packet.

      mpls: Multicast route table change notifications · 8de147dc
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Unlike IPv4 this code notifies on all cases where mpls routes
      are added or removed and it never automatically removes routes.
      Avoiding both the userspace confusion that is caused by omitting
      route updates and the possibility of a flood of netlink traffic
      when an interface goes doew.
      
      For now reserved labels are handled automatically and userspace
      is not notified.

      mpls: Netlink commands to add, remove, and dump routes · 03c05665
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This change adds two new netlink routing attributes:
      RTA_VIA and RTA_NEWDST.
      
      RTA_VIA specifies the specifies the next machine to send a packet to
      like RTA_GATEWAY.  RTA_VIA differs from RTA_GATEWAY in that it
      includes the address family of the address of the next machine to send
      a packet to.  Currently the MPLS code supports addresses in AF_INET,
      AF_INET6 and AF_PACKET.  For AF_INET and AF_INET6 the destination mac
      address is acquired from the neighbour table.  For AF_PACKET the
      destination mac_address is specified in the netlink configuration.
      
      I think raw destination mac address support with the family AF_PACKET
      will prove useful.  There is MPLS-TP which is defined to operate
      on machines that do not support internet packets of any flavor.  Further
      seem to be corner cases where it can be useful.  At this point
      I don't care much either way.
      
      RTA_NEWDST specifies the destination address to forward the packet
      with.  MPLS typically changes it's destination address at every hop.
      For a swap operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with a length of one label.
      For a push operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with two or more labels.
      For a pop operation RTA_NEWDST is not specified or equivalently an emtpy
      RTAN_NEWDST is specified.
      
      Those new netlink attributes are used to implement handling of rt-netlink
      RTM_NEWROUTE, RTM_DELROUTE, and RTM_GETROUTE messages, to maintain the
      MPLS label table.
      
      rtm_to_route_config parses a netlink RTM_NEWROUTE or RTM_DELROUTE message,
      verify no unhandled attributes or unhandled values are present and sets
      up the data structures for mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del.
      
      I did my best to match up with the existing conventions with the caveats
      that MPLS addresses are all destination-specific-addresses, and so
      don't properly have a scope.
