2018-03-31inet: frags: break the 2GB limit for frags storageEric Dumazet1-2/+2
Some users are willing to provision huge amounts of memory to be able to perform reassembly reasonnably well under pressure. Current memory tracking is using one atomic_t and integers. Switch to atomic_long_t so that 64bit arches can use more than 2GB, without any cost for 32bit arches. Note that this patch avoids an overflow error, if high_thresh was set to ~2GB, since this test in inet_frag_alloc() was never true : if (... || frag_mem_limit(nf) > nf->high_thresh) Tested: $ echo 16000000000 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_high_thresh <frag DDOS> $ grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat FRAG: inuse 14705885 memory 16000002880 $ nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Reas IpReasmReqds 3317150 0.0 IpReasmFails 3317112 0.0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-03-31inet: frags: use rhashtables for reassembly unitsEric Dumazet1-5/+2
Some applications still rely on IP fragmentation, and to be fair linux reassembly unit is not working under any serious load. It uses static hash tables of 1024 buckets, and up to 128 items per bucket (!!!) A work queue is supposed to garbage collect items when host is under memory pressure, and doing a hash rebuild, changing seed used in hash computations. This work queue blocks softirqs for up to 25 ms when doing a hash rebuild, occurring every 5 seconds if host is under fire. Then there is the problem of sharing this hash table for all netns. It is time to switch to rhashtables, and allocate one of them per netns to speedup netns dismantle, since this is a critical metric these days. Lookup is now using RCU. A followup patch will even remove the refcount hold/release left from prior implementation and save a couple of atomic operations. Before this patch, 16 cpus (16 RX queue NIC) could not handle more than 1 Mpps frags DDOS. After the patch, I reach 9 Mpps without any tuning, and can use up to 2GB of storage for the fragments (exact number depends on frags being evicted after timeout) $ grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat FRAG: inuse 1966916 memory 2140004608 A followup patch will change the limits for 64bit arches.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree. This batch comes with more input sanitization for xtables to address bug reports from fuzzers, preparation works to the flowtable infrastructure and assorted updates. In no particular order, they are: 1) Make sure userspace provides a valid standard target verdict, from Florian Westphal. 2) Sanitize error target size, also from Florian. 3) Validate that last rule in basechain matches underflow/policy since userspace assumes this when decoding the ruleset blob that comes from the kernel, from Florian. 4) Consolidate hook entry checks through xt_check_table_hooks(), patch from Florian. 5) Cap ruleset allocations at 512 mbytes, 134217728 rules and reject very large compat offset arrays, so we have a reasonable upper limit and fuzzers don't exercise the oom-killer. Patches from Florian. 6) Several WARN_ON checks on xtables mutex helper, from Florian. 7) xt_rateest now has a hashtable per net, from Cong Wang. 8) Consolidate counter allocation in xt_counters_alloc(), from Florian. 9) Earlier xt_table_unlock() call in {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables, patch from Xin Long. 10) Set FLOW_OFFLOAD_DIR_* to IP_CT_DIR_* definitions, patch from Felix Fietkau. 11) Consolidate code through flow_offload_fill_dir(), also from Felix. 12) Inline ip6_dst_mtu_forward() just like ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward() to remove a dependency with flowtable and ipv6.ko, from Felix. 13) Cache mtu size in flow_offload_tuple object, this is safe for forwarding as f87c10a8aa1e describes, from Felix. 14) Rename nf_flow_table.c to nf_flow_table_core.o, to simplify too modular infrastructure, from Felix. 15) Add rt0, rt2 and rt4 IPv6 routing extension support, patch from Ahmed Abdelsalam. 16) Remove unused parameter in nf_conncount_count(), from Yi-Hung Wei. 17) Support for counting only to nf_conncount infrastructure, patch from Yi-Hung Wei. 18) Add strict NFT_CT_{SRC_IP,DST_IP,SRC_IP6,DST_IP6} key datatypes to nft_ct. 19) Use boolean as return value from ipt_ah and from IPVS too, patch from Gustavo A. R. Silva. 20) Remove useless parameters in nfnl_acct_overquota() and nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), from Taehee Yoo. 21) Use ipv6_addr_is_multicast() from xt_cluster, also from Taehee Yoo. 22) Statify nf_tables_obj_lookup_byhandle, patch from Fengguang Wu. 23) Fix typo in xt_limit, from Geert Uytterhoeven. 24) Do no use VLAs in Netfilter code, again from Gustavo. 25) Use ADD_COUNTER from ebtables, from Taehee Yoo. 26) Bitshift support for CONNMARK and MARK targets, from Jack Ma. 27) Use pr_*() and add pr_fmt(), from Arushi Singhal. 28) Add synproxy support to ctnetlink. 29) ICMP type and IGMP matching support for ebtables, patches from Matthias Schiffer. 30) Support for the revision infrastructure to ebtables, from Bernie Harris. 31) String match support for ebtables, also from Bernie. 32) Documentation for the new flowtable infrastructure. 33) Use generic comparison functions in ebt_stp, from Joe Perches. 34) Demodularize filter chains in nftables. 35) Register conntrack hooks in case nftables NAT chain is added. 36) Merge assignments with return in a couple of spots in the Netfilter codebase, also from Arushi. 37) Document that xtables percpu counters are stored in the same memory area, from Ben Hutchings. 38) Revert mark_source_chains() sanity checks that break existing rulesets, from Florian Westphal. 39) Use is_zero_ether_addr() in the ipset codebase, from Joe Perches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it. You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here... For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel adds. Trivially resolved. In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in 'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed. In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the 'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied over here. The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code. The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial, the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and here are their notes: ==================== Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can be based. Conflicts: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524 (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support) add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list added by the representors patch needed to be modified to match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup patch. Updates: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function names as changed by cleanup patch drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init stage list to match new order from cleanup patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-26 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) A number of extensions to tcp-bpf, from Lawrence. - direct R or R/W access to many tcp_sock fields via bpf_sock_ops - passing up to 3 arguments to bpf_sock_ops functions - tcp_sock field bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags for controlling callbacks - optionally calling bpf_sock_ops program when RTO fires - optionally calling bpf_sock_ops program when packet is retransmitted - optionally calling bpf_sock_ops program when TCP state changes - access to tclass and sk_txhash - new selftest 2) div/mod exception handling, from Daniel. One of the ugly leftovers from the early eBPF days is that div/mod operations based on registers have a hard-coded src_reg == 0 test in the interpreter as well as in JIT code generators that would return from the BPF program with exit code 0. This was basically adopted from cBPF interpreter for historical reasons. There are multiple reasons why this is very suboptimal and prone to bugs. To name one: the return code mapping for such abnormal program exit of 0 does not always match with a suitable program type's exit code mapping. For example, '0' in tc means action 'ok' where the packet gets passed further up the stack, which is just undesirable for such cases (e.g. when implementing policy) and also does not match with other program types. After considering _four_ different ways to address the problem, we adapt the same behavior as on some major archs like ARMv8: X div 0 results in 0, and X mod 0 results in X. aarch64 and aarch32 ISA do not generate any traps or otherwise aborts of program execution for unsigned divides. Given the options, it seems the most suitable from all of them, also since major archs have similar schemes in place. Given this is all in the realm of undefined behavior, we still have the option to adapt if deemed necessary. 3) sockmap sample refactoring, from John. 4) lpm map get_next_key fixes, from Yonghong. 5) test cleanups, from Alexei and Prashant. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

BPF alignment tests got a conflict because the registers are output as Rn_w instead of just Rn in net-next, and in net a fixup for a testcase prohibits logical operations on pointers before using them. Also, we should attempt to patch BPF call args if JIT always on is enabled. Instead, if we fail to JIT the subprogs we should pass an error back up and fail immediately. Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-12-19net: Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW.Michael Chan1-0/+9
Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW feature flag for NICs that support hardware GRO. With this flag, we can now independently turn on or off hardware GRO when GRO is on. Previously, drivers were using NETIF_F_GRO to control hardware GRO and so it cannot be independently turned on or off without affecting GRO. Hardware GRO (just like GRO) guarantees that packets can be re-segmented by TSO/GSO to reconstruct the original packet stream. Logically, GRO_HW should depend on GRO since it a subset, but we will let individual drivers enforce this dependency as they see fit. Since NETIF_F_GRO is not propagated between upper and lower devices, NETIF_F_GRO_HW should follow suit since it is a subset of GRO. In other words, a lower device can independent have GRO/GRO_HW enabled or disabled and no feature propagation is required. This will preserve the current GRO behavior. This can be changed later if we decide to propagate GRO/ GRO_HW/RXCSUM from upper to lower devices.

2017-12-13tcp: pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeoutYuchung Cheng1-0/+1
Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific destination IP address if the previous connections to the IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other destinations. This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts or aborts due to timeout. Repeated incidents would still exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour. This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.
