ipv6: per netns FIB garbage collection

2016-03-08T20:16:51+00:00

One of our customers observed issues with FIB6 garbage collectors running in different network namespaces blocking each other, resulting in soft lockups (fib6_run_gc() initiated from timer runs always in forced mode). Now that FIB6 walkers are separated per namespace, there is no more need for instances of fib6_run_gc() in different namespaces blocking each other. There is still a call to icmp6_dst_gc() which operates on shared data but this function is protected by its own shared lock.

ipv6: per netns fib6 walkers

2016-03-08T20:16:51+00:00

The IPv6 FIB data structures are separated per network namespace but there is still only one global walkers list and one global walker list lock. This means changes in one namespace unnecessarily interfere with walkers in other namespaces. Replace the global list with per-netns lists (and give each its own lock).

ipv6: replace global gc_args with local variable

2016-03-08T20:16:50+00:00

Global variable gc_args is only used in fib6_run_gc() and functions called from it. As fib6_run_gc() makes sure there is at most one instance of fib6_clean_all() running at any moment, we can replace gc_args with a local variable which will be needed once multiple instances (per netns) of garbage collector are allowed.

ipv6: fix the incorrect return value of throw route

2015-10-23T09:38:18+00:00

The error condition -EAGAIN, which is signaled by throw routes, tells the rules framework to walk on searching for next matches. If the walk ends and we stop walking the rules with the result of a throw route we have to translate the error conditions to -ENETUNREACH.

ipv6: include NLM_F_REPLACE in route replace notifications

2015-09-17T22:00:27+00:00

This patch adds NLM_F_REPLACE flag to ipv6 route replace notifications. This makes nlm_flags in ipv6 replace notifications consistent with ipv4. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Replace spinlock with seqlock and rcu in ip6_tunnel

2015-09-15T21:53:05+00:00

This patch uses a seqlock to ensure consistency between idst->dst and idst->cookie. It also makes dst freeing from fib tree to undergo a rcu grace period. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Avoid double dst_free

2015-09-15T21:53:05+00:00

It is a prep work to get dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. The following is a common paradigm: if (ip6_del_rt(rt)) dst_free(rt) which means, if rt cannot be deleted from the fib tree, dst_free(rt) now. 1. We don't know the ip6_del_rt(rt) failure is because it was not managed by fib tree (e.g. DST_NOCACHE) or it had already been removed from the fib tree. 2. If rt had been managed by the fib tree, ip6_del_rt(rt) failure means dst_free(rt) has been called already. A second dst_free(rt) is not always obviously safe. The rt may have been destroyed already. 3. If rt is a DST_NOCACHE, dst_free(rt) should not be called. 4. It is a stopper to make dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. This patch is to use a DST_NOCACHE flag to indicate a rt is not managed by the fib tree. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
