      net-gro: avoid reorders · d61d072e
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Receiving a GSO packet in dev_gro_receive() is not uncommon
      in stacked devices, or devices partially implementing LRO/GRO
      like bnx2x. GRO is implementing the aggregation the device
      was not able to do itself.
      
      Current code causes reorders, like in following case :
      
      For a given flow where sender sent 3 packets P1,P2,P3,P4
      
      Receiver might receive P1 as a single packet, stored in GRO engine.
      
      Then P2-P4 are received as a single GSO packet, immediately given to
      upper stack, while P1 is held in GRO engine.
      
      This patch will make sure P1 is given to upper stack, then P2-P4
      immediately after.

      net/qdisc: IFF_NO_QUEUE drivers should use consistent TX queue len · 11597084
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      The flag IFF_NO_QUEUE marks virtual device drivers that doesn't need a
      default qdisc attached, given they will be backed by physical device,
      that already have a qdisc attached for pushback.
      
      It is still supported to attach a qdisc to a IFF_NO_QUEUE device, as
      this can be useful for difference policy reasons (e.g. bandwidth
      limiting containers).  For this to work, the tx_queue_len need to have
      a sane value, because some qdiscs inherit/copy the tx_queue_len
      (namely, pfifo, bfifo, gred, htb, plug and sfb).
      
      Commit a813104d ("IFF_NO_QUEUE: Fix for drivers not calling
      ether_setup()") caught situations where some drivers didn't initialize
      tx_queue_len.  The problem with the commit was choosing 1 as the
      fallback value.
      
      A qdisc queue length of 1 causes more harm than good, because it
      creates hard to debug situations for userspace. It gives userspace a
      false sense of a working config after attaching a qdisc.  As low
      volume traffic (that doesn't activate the qdisc policy) works,
      like ping, while traffic that e.g. needs shaping cannot reach the
      configured policy levels, given the queue length is too small.
      
      This patch change the value to DEFAULT_TX_QUEUE_LEN, given other
      IFF_NO_QUEUE devices (that call ether_setup()) also use this value.

      packet: on direct_xmit, limit tso and csum to supported devices · 104ba78c
      Willem de Bruijn 提交于
      When transmitting on a packet socket with PACKET_VNET_HDR and
      PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, validate device support for features requested
      in vnet_hdr.
      
      Drop TSO packets sent to devices that do not support TSO or have the
      feature disabled. Note that the latter currently do process those
      packets correctly, regardless of not advertising the feature.
      
      Because of SKB_GSO_DODGY, it is not sufficient to test device features
      with netif_needs_gso. Full validate_xmit_skb is needed.
      
      Switch to software checksum for non-TSO packets that request checksum
      offload if that device feature is unsupported or disabled. Note that
      similar to the TSO case, device drivers may perform checksum offload
      correctly even when not advertising it.
      
      When switching to software checksum, packets hit skb_checksum_help,
      which has two BUG_ON checksum not in linear segment. Packet sockets
      always allocate at least up to csum_start + csum_off + 2 as linear.

      net: add recursion limit to GRO · fcd91dd4
      Sabrina Dubroca 提交于
      Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
      handlers.  This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
      to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
      problem.  Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
      receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.
      
      This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
      overflow.  When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
      aborted for this skb and it is processed normally.  This recursion
      counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter
      if we run out of space in the CB.

      net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking · 61e84623
      Jarod Wilson 提交于
      While looking into an MTU issue with sfc, I started noticing that almost
      every NIC driver with an ndo_change_mtu function implemented almost
      exactly the same range checks, and in many cases, that was the only
      practical thing their ndo_change_mtu function was doing. Quite a few
      drivers have either 68, 64, 60 or 46 as their minimum MTU value checked,
      and then various sizes from 1500 to 65535 for their maximum MTU value. We
      can remove a whole lot of redundant code here if we simple store min_mtu
      and max_mtu in net_device, and check against those in net/core/dev.c's
      dev_set_mtu().
      
      In theory, there should be zero functional change with this patch, it just
      puts the infrastructure in place. Subsequent patches will attempt to start
      using said infrastructure, with theoretically zero change in
      functionality.

      latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy · 0766f788
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
      variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
      gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
      the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
      be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
      
      These specific functions have been selected because they are init
      functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
      times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
      latent entropy.

      net: Add netdev all_adj_list refcnt propagation to fix panic · 93409033
      Andrew Collins 提交于
      This is a respin of a patch to fix a relatively easily reproducible kernel
      panic related to the all_adj_list handling for netdevs in recent kernels.
      
      The following sequence of commands will reproduce the issue:
      
      ip link add link eth0 name eth0.100 type vlan id 100
      ip link add link eth0 name eth0.200 type vlan id 200
      ip link add name testbr type bridge
      ip link set eth0.100 master testbr
      ip link set eth0.200 master testbr
      ip link add link testbr mac0 type macvlan
      ip link delete dev testbr
      
      This creates an upper/lower tree of (excuse the poor ASCII art):
      
                  /---eth0.100-eth0
      mac0-testbr-
                  \---eth0.200-eth0
      
      When testbr is deleted, the all_adj_lists are walked, and eth0 is deleted twice from
      the mac0 list. Unfortunately, during setup in __netdev_upper_dev_link, only one
      reference to eth0 is added, so this results in a panic.
      
      This change adds reference count propagation so things are handled properly.
      
      Matthias Schiffer reported a similar crash in batman-adv:

      register rx_handler for the new slave.
      
      This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
      beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

      bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices · 6bc506b4
      Ido Schimmel 提交于
      switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
      port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
      flooded twice.
      
      It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
      bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
      packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
      packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
      
      This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
      such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
      devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
      different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
      is impossible.
      
      The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
      physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
      which are not necessarily port netdevs.
      
      Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
      driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
      forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
      assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
      being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
      having the same parent ID).
      
      Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
      instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
      sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

      net: flush the softnet backlog in process context · 145dd5f9
      Paolo Abeni 提交于
      Currently in process_backlog(), the process_queue dequeuing is
      performed with local IRQ disabled, to protect against
      flush_backlog(), which runs in hard IRQ context.
      
      This patch moves the flush operation to a work queue and runs the
      callback with bottom half disabled to protect the process_queue
      against dequeuing.
      Since process_queue is now always manipulated in bottom half context,
      the irq disable/enable pair around the dequeue operation are removed.
      
      To keep the flush time as low as possible, the flush
      works are scheduled on all online cpu simultaneously, using the
      high priority work-queue and statically allocated, per cpu,
      work structs.
      
      Overall this change increases the time required to destroy a device

      net: remove type_check from dev_get_nest_level() · 952fcfd0
      Sabrina Dubroca 提交于
      The idea for type_check in dev_get_nest_level() was to count the number
      of nested devices of the same type (currently, only macvlan or vlan
      devices).
      This prevented the false positive lockdep warning on configurations such
      as:
      
      eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0 <--- macvlan1
      
      However, this doesn't prevent a warning on a configuration such as:
      
      eth0 <--- macvlan0 <--- vlan0
      eth1 <--- vlan1 <--- macvlan1
      
      In this case, all the locks end up with a nesting subclass of 1, so
      lockdep thinks that there is still a deadlock:
      
      - in the first case we have (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1) and then
        take (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1)
      - in the second case, we have (vlan_netdev_xmit_lock_key, 1) and then
        take (macvlan_netdev_addr_lock_key, 1)
      
      By removing the linktype check in dev_get_nest_level() and always
      incrementing the nesting depth, lockdep considers this configuration
      valid.

      net_sched: drop packets after root qdisc lock is released · 520ac30f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue()
      time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held,
      delaying a dequeue() draining the queue.
      
      Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens,
      at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible.
      
      Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was
      to provide some flow isolation.
      
      This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all
      qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper.
      
      I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch
      is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.

      vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash · 8387ff25
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
      did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
      lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
      instead of late.
      
      A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
      pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.
      
      Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
      NULL pointer as a no-salt.

      bpf: enforce recursion limit on redirects · a70b506e
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      Respect the stack's xmit_recursion limit for calls into dev_queue_xmit().
      Currently, they are not handeled by the limiter when attached to clsact's
      egress parent, for example, and a buggy program redirecting it to the
      same device again could run into stack overflow eventually. It would be
      good if we could notify an admin to give him a chance to react. We reuse
      xmit_recursion instead of having one private to eBPF, so that the stack's
      current recursion depth will be taken into account as well. Follow-up to
      commit 3896d655 ("bpf: introduce bpf_clone_redirect() helper") and
      27b29f63 ("bpf: add bpf_redirect() helper").

      net_sched: transform qdisc running bit into a seqcount · f9eb8aea
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Instead of using a single bit (__QDISC___STATE_RUNNING)
      in sch->__state, use a seqcount.
      
      This adds lockdep support, but more importantly it will allow us
      to sample qdisc/class statistics without having to grab qdisc root lock.

      net: get rid of spin_trylock() in net_tx_action() · 3bcb846c
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Note: Tom Herbert posted almost same patch 3 months back, but for
      different reasons.
      
      The reasons we want to get rid of this spin_trylock() are :
      
      1) Under high qdisc pressure, the spin_trylock() has almost no
      chance to succeed.
      
      2) We loop multiple times in softirq handler, eventually reaching
      the max retry count (10), and we schedule ksoftirqd.
      
      Since we want to adhere more strictly to ksoftirqd being waked up in
      the future (https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/), better avoid spurious
      wakeups.
      
      3) calls to __netif_reschedule() dirty the cache line containing
      q->next_sched, slowing down the owner of qdisc.
      
      4) RT kernels can not use the spin_trylock() here.
      
      With help of busylock, we get the qdisc spinlock fast enough, and
      the trylock trick brings only performance penalty.
      
      Depending on qdisc setup, I observed a gain of up to 19 % in qdisc
      performance (1016600 pps instead of 853400 pps, using prio+tbf+fq_codel)
      
      ("mpstat -I SCPU 1" is much happier now)
