2017-08-10bpf: add BPF_J{LT,LE,SLT,SLE} instructionsDaniel Borkmann1-0/+4
Currently, eBPF only understands BPF_JGT (>), BPF_JGE (>=), BPF_JSGT (s>), BPF_JSGE (s>=) instructions, this means that particularly *JLT/*JLE counterparts involving immediates need to be rewritten from e.g. X < [IMM] by swapping arguments into [IMM] > X, meaning the immediate first is required to be loaded into a register Y := [IMM], such that then we can compare with Y > X. Note that the destination operand is always required to be a register. This has the downside of having unnecessarily increased register pressure, meaning complex program would need to spill other registers temporarily to stack in order to obtain an unused register for the [IMM]. Loading to registers will thus also affect state pruning since we need to account for that register use and potentially those registers that had to be spilled/filled again. As a consequence slightly more stack space might have been used due to spilling, and BPF programs are a bit longer due to extra code involving the register load and potentially required spill/fills. Thus, add BPF_JLT (<), BPF_JLE (<=), BPF_JSLT (s<), BPF_JSLE (s<=) counterparts to the eBPF instruction set. Modifying LLVM to remove the NegateCC() workaround in a PoC patch at [1] and allowing it to also emit the new instructions resulted in cilium's BPF programs that are injected into the fast-path to have a reduced program length in the range of 2-3% (e.g. accumulated main and tail call sections from one of the object file reduced from 4864 to 4729 insns), reduced complexity in the range of 10-30% (e.g. accumulated sections reduced in one of the cases from 116432 to 88428 insns), and reduced stack usage in the range of 1-5% (e.g. accumulated sections from one of the object files reduced from 824 to 784b). The modification for LLVM will be incorporated in a backwards compatible way. Plan is for LLVM to have i) a target specific option to offer a possibility to explicitly enable the extension by the user (as we have with -m target specific extensions today for various CPU insns), and ii) have the kernel checked for presence of the extensions and enable them transparently when the user is selecting more aggressive options such as -march=native in a bpf target context. (Other frontends generating BPF byte code, e.g. ply can probe the kernel directly for its code generation.)

2017-07-31netfilter: conntrack: do not enable connection tracking unless neededFlorian Westphal1-11/+0
Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current conntrack behaviour is unreasonable. Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace, its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive. Commit 481fa373476 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl") attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by adding a sysctl to change it. However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available once the module is loaded, and then its too late. So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively, change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this. This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

2017-06-07rxrpc: Provide a cmsg to specify the amount of Tx data for a callDavid Howells1-0/+34
Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the total length of the data to be transmitted for that call. Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we know how much data it will hold. By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet). An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in the Tx phase. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-06-05rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connectionsDavid Howells1-0/+30
Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility. The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters. When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to indicate the service the server upgraded to. Note that: (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress. (3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not retain this information should the connection expire from its cache. (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't, whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say, OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection. At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-06-05rxrpc: Implement service upgradeDavid Howells1-8/+26
Implement AuriStor's service upgrade facility. There are three problems that this is meant to deal with: (1) Various of the standard AFS RPC calls have IPv4 addresses in their requests and/or replies - but there's no room for including IPv6 addresses. (2) Definition of IPv6-specific RPC operations in the standard operation sets has not yet been achieved. (3) One could envision the creation a new service on the same port that as the original service. The new service could implement improved operations - and the client could try this first, falling back to the original service if it's not there. Unfortunately, certain servers ignore packets addressed to a service they don't implement and don't respond in any way - not even with an ABORT. This means that the client must then wait for the call timeout to occur. What service upgrade does is to see if the connection is marked as being 'upgradeable' and if so, change the service ID in the server and thus the request and reply formats. Note that the upgrade isn't mandatory - a server that supports only the original call set will ignore the upgrade request. In the protocol, the procedure is then as follows: (1) To request an upgrade, the first DATA packet in a new connection must have the userStatus set to 1 (this is normally 0). The userStatus value is normally ignored by the server. (2) If the server doesn't support upgrading, the reply packets will contain the same service ID as for the first request packet. (3) If the server does support upgrading, all future reply packets on that connection will contain the new service ID and the new service ID will be applied to *all* further calls on that connection as well. (4) The RPC op used to probe the upgrade must take the same request data as the shadow call in the upgrade set (but may return a different reply). GetCapability RPC ops were added to all standard sets for just this purpose. Ops where the request formats differ cannot be used for probing. (5) The client must wait for completion of the probe before sending any further RPC ops to the same destination. It should then use the service ID that recvmsg() reported back in all future calls. (6) The shadow service must have call definitions for all the operation IDs defined by the original service. To support service upgrading, a server should: (1) Call bind() twice on its AF_RXRPC socket before calling listen(). Each bind() should supply a different service ID, but the transport addresses must be the same. This allows the server to receive requests with either service ID. (2) Enable automatic upgrading by calling setsockopt(), specifying RXRPC_UPGRADEABLE_SERVICE and passing in a two-member array of unsigned shorts as the argument: unsigned short optval[2]; This specifies a pair of service IDs. They must be different and must match the service IDs bound to the socket. Member 0 is the service ID to upgrade from and member 1 is the service ID to upgrade to.

2017-06-05rxrpc: Permit multiple service bindingDavid Howells1-0/+4
Permit bind() to be called on an AF_RXRPC socket more than once (currently maximum twice) to bind multiple listening services to it. There are some restrictions: (1) All bind() calls involved must have a non-zero service ID. (2) The service IDs must all be different. (3) The rest of the address (notably the transport part) must be the same in all (a single UDP socket is shared). (4) This must be done before listen() or sendmsg() is called. This allows someone to connect to the service socket with different service IDs and lays the foundation for service upgrading. The service ID used by an incoming call can be extracted from the msg_name returned by recvmsg(). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-05-21net: allow simultaneous SW and HW transmit timestampingMiroslav Lichvar1-0/+8
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the driver. Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software timestamp or it is an incoming packet. While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as there are no other users.

2017-05-21net: add new control message for incoming HW-timestamped packetsMiroslav Lichvar1-0/+10
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of the real interface which received the packet and the length of the packet at layer 2. The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in the NTP protocol. While this information could be provided by two new socket options independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware timestamping. Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero index will be returned in the control message.

2017-04-24net/tcp_fastopen: Disable active side TFO in certain scenariosWei Wang1-0/+8
Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related reports from Apple: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped. C ---> syn-data ---> S C <--- syn/ack ----- S C (accept & write) C <---- data ------- S C ----- ACK -> X S [retry and timeout] https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped after 3WHS. C ---- syn-data ---> S C <--- syn/ack ----- S C ---- ack --------> S S (accept & write) C? X <- data ------ S [retry and timeout] This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO again, and the process repeats indefinitely. The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the following circumstances: 1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN 2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ... And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened on loopback has successfully received data segs from server. And we examine this condition during close(). The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens, application running on the client should eventually close the socket as it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any response from client. In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those frames. And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to fail. Also, add a debug sysctl: tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec: the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens. This can be set and read. When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately. Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters. Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-24net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for tcp and udpsubashab@codeaurora.org1-1/+10
Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload. It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems and enable it for TCP only. By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system- 782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4 633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table is in cache. Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior. v1->v2: Change function pointer instead of adding conditional as suggested by Stephen. v2->v3: Read once in callers to avoid issues due to compiler optimizations. Also update commit message with the tests. v3->v4: Store and use read once result instead of querying pointer again incorrectly. v4->v5: Refactor to avoid errors due to compilation with IPV6={m,n} Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@codeaurora.org> Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Cc: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-23net: ipv6: Add sysctl for minimum prefix len acceptable in RIOs.Joel Scherpelz1-2/+11
This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space (e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is incorrect).

2017-03-22net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choiceNikolay Aleksandrov1-0/+8
This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes. The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are: 0 - layer 3 (default) 1 - layer 4 If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4). In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the address order thus we can remove the address reversals. If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation, otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.
