====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. Basically, updates to the conntrack core, enhancements for
nf_tables, conversion of netfilter hooks from linked list to array to
improve memory locality and asorted improvements for the Netfilter
codebase. More specifically, they are:
1) Add expection to hashes after timer initialization to prevent
access from another CPU that walks on the hashes and calls
del_timer(), from Florian Westphal.
2) Don't update nf_tables chain counters from hot path, this is only
used by the x_tables compatibility layer.
3) Get rid of nested rcu_read_lock() calls from netfilter hook path.
Hooks are always guaranteed to run from rcu read side, so remove
nested rcu_read_lock() where possible. Patch from Taehee Yoo.
4) nf_tables new ruleset generation notifications include PID and name
of the process that has updated the ruleset, from Phil Sutter.
5) Use skb_header_pointer() from nft_fib, so we can reuse this code from
the nf_family netdev family. Patch from Pablo M. Bermudo.
6) Add support for nft_fib in nf_tables netdev family, also from Pablo.
7) Use deferrable workqueue for conntrack garbage collection, to reduce
power consumption, from Patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan.
8) Add nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() helper and use it. From Florian
Westphal.
9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian.
10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via
nfqueue, from Florian.
11) Don't queue packets to nfqueue with dying conntrack, from Florian.
12) Constify nf_hook_ops structure, from Florian.
13) Remove neededlessly branch in nf_tables trace code, from Phil Sutter.
14) Add nla_strdup(), from Phil Sutter.
15) Rise nf_tables objects name size up to 255 chars, people want to use
DNS names, so increase this according to what RFC 1035 specifies.
Patch series from Phil Sutter.
16) Kill nf_conntrack_default_on, it's broken. Default on conntrack hook
registration on demand, suggested by Eric Dumazet, patch from Florian.
17) Remove unused variables in compat_copy_entry_from_user both in
ip_tables and arp_tables code. Patch from Taehee Yoo.
18) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l4proto, from Julia Lawall.
19) Constify nf_loginfo structure, also from Julia.
20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo.
21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo.
22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang.
23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian.
24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes
a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length.
25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers.
26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile
time, from Florian.
27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure.
From Florian.
28) Remove holes in nf_conntrack_l4proto structure, so it becomes
smaller. From Florian.
29) Get rid of print_tuple() indirection for /proc conntrack listing.
Place all the code in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c.
Patch from Florian.
30) Do not built in print_conntrack() if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is
off. From Florian.
31) Constify most nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto helper functions, from
Florian.
32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King.
33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian.
34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory
locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add
some instrumentation to debug this.
35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once
per batch, from Florian.
36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian.
37) Get rid of obsolete NFDEBUG() instrumentation, from Varsha Rao.
38) Remove unused code in the generic protocol tracker, from Davide
Caratti.
I think I will have material for a second Netfilter batch in my queue if
time allow to make it fit in this merge window.

The UDP offload conflict is dealt with by simply taking what is
in net-next where we have removed all of the UFO handling code
entirely.
The TCP conflict was a case of local variables in a function
being removed from both net and net-next.
In netvsc we had an assignment right next to where a missing
set of u64 stats sync object inits were added.

The ipvlan code already knows how to detect when a duplicate address is
about to be assigned to an ipvlan device. However, that failure is not
propogated outward and leads to a silent failure.
Introduce a validation step at ip address creation time and allow device
drivers to register to validate the incoming ip addresses. The ipvlan
code is the first consumer. If it detects an address in use, we can
return an error to the user before beginning to commit the new ifa in
the networking code.
This can be especially useful if it is necessary to provision many
ipvlans in containers. The provisioning software (or operator) can use
this to detect situations where an ip address is unexpectedly in use.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

commit 4fbae7d83c98c30efc ("ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode") added
registration of netfilter hooks via nf_register_hooks().
This API provides the illusion of 'global' netfilter hooks by placing the
hooks in all current and future network namespaces.
In case of ipvlan the hook appears to be only needed in the namespace
that contains the ipvlan master device (i.e., usually init_net), so
placing them in all namespaces is not needed.
This switches ipvlan driver to pernet operations, and then only registers
hooks in namespaces where a ipvlan master device is set to l3s mode.
Extra care has to be taken when the master device is moved to another
namespace, as we might have to 'move' the netfilter hooks too.
This is done by storing the namespace the ipvlan port was created in.
On REGISTER event, do (un)register operations in the old/new namespaces.
This will also allow removal of the nf_register_hooks() in a future patch.

IPvlan checks if the master device is already used by checking a
specific device (here it's macvlan device). This is technically not
sufficient and it should just ensure the rx_handler is busy or not.
This would be a super check that includes macvlan and any other that
has already registered rx-handler.

In the last patch da36e13cf65 ("ipvlan: improvise dev_id generation
logic in IPvlan") I missed some part of Dave's suggestion and because
of that the dev_id creation could fail in a corner case scenario. This
would happen when more or less 64k devices have been already created and
several have been deleted. If the devices that are still sticking around
are the last n bits from the bitmap. So in this scenario even if lower
bits are available, the dev_id search is so narrow that it always fails.

The patch 009146d117b ("ipvlan: assign unique dev-id for each slave
device.") used ida_simple_get() to generate dev_ids assigned to the
slave devices. However (Eric has pointed out that) there is a shortcoming
with that approach as it always uses the first available ID. This
becomes a problem when a slave gets deleted and a new slave gets added.
The ID gets reassigned causing the new slave to get the same link-local
address. This side-effect is undesirable.
This patch adds a per-port variable that keeps track of the IDs
assigned and used as the stat-base for the IDR api. This base will be
wrapped around when it reaches the MAX (0xFFFE) value possibly on a
busy system where slaves are added and deleted routinely.

IPvlan setup uses one mac-address (of master). The IPv6 link-local
addresses are derived using the mac-address on the link. Lack of
dev-ids makes these link-local addresses same for all slaves including
that of master device. dev-ids are necessary to add differentiation
when L2 address is shared.

There are two functions which would free the ipvl_port now. The first
is ipvlan_port_create. It frees the ipvl_port in the error handler,
so it could kfree it directly. The second is ipvlan_port_destroy. It
invokes netdev_rx_handler_unregister which enforces one grace period
by synchronize_net firstly, so it also could kfree the ipvl_port
directly and safely.
So it is unnecessary to use kfree_rcu to free ipvl_port.

Couple conflicts resolved here:
1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
to support variable sized rings.
2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.
3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
and reorganized in 'net-next'.
4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
tc_skip_sw().
5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
unrelated changes in 'net-next'.
6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no
longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and
each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress
packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will
hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same
is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are
hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns.
IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy
iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it
impossible to do so.
This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev
enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without
changing the skb->dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN
to change the skb->dev just before handing over skb to L4.

When we create IPvlan slave; we use ether_setup() and that
sets up default MTU to 1500 while the master device may have
lower / different MTU. Any subsequent changes to the masters'
MTU are reflected into the slaves' MTU setting. However if those
don't happen (most likely scenario), the slaves' MTU stays at
1500 which could be bad.
This change adds code to inherit MTU from the master device
instead of using the default value during the link initialization
phase.

Processing multicast / broadcast in fast path is performance draining
and having more links means more cloning and bringing performance
down further.
Broadcast; in particular, need to be given to all the virtual links.
Earlier tricks of enabling broadcast bit for IPv4 only interfaces are not
really working since it fails autoconf. Which means enabling broadcast
for all the links if protocol specific hacks do not have to be added into
the driver.
This patch defers all (incoming as well as outgoing) multicast traffic to
a work-queue leaving only the unicast traffic in the fast-path. Now if we
need to apply any additional tricks to further reduce the impact of this
(multicast / broadcast) type of traffic, it can be implemented while
processing this work without affecting the fast-path.

The TCP conflicts were overlapping changes. In 'net' we added a
READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next'
Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini
sockets are handled.
With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next
and then I cherry picked it back into net.

When an ipvlan interface is down, its addresses are not on the hash list.
Fix checks for existence of addresses not to depend on the hash list, walk
through all interface addresses instead.

When ipvlan interface with IP addresses attached is brought down and then
deleted, the assigned addresses are deleted twice from the address hash
list, first on the interface down and second on the link deletion.
Similarly, when an address is added while the interface is down, it is added
second time once the interface is brought up.
When the interface is down, the addresses should be kept off the hash list
for performance reasons. Ensure this is true, which also fixes the double add
problem. To fix the double free, check whether the address is hashed before
removing it.

Now that there are no more users kill dev_rebuild_header and all of it's
implementations.
This is long overdue.
