net: dst: Force 4-byte alignment of dst_metrics

2020-01-04T12:34:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 258a980d1ec23e2c786e9536a7dd260bea74bae6 ] When storing a pointer to a dst_metrics structure in dst_entry._metrics, two flags are added in the least significant bits of the pointer value. Hence this assumes all pointers to dst_metrics structures have at least 4-byte alignment. However, on m68k, the minimum alignment of 32-bit values is 2 bytes, not 4 bytes. Hence in some kernel builds, dst_default_metrics may be only 2-byte aligned, leading to obscure boot warnings like: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x44/0x9a refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

ipv4: add reference counting to metrics

2017-06-07T10:05:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3fb07daff8e99243366a081e5129560734de4ada ] Andrey Konovalov reported crashes in ipv4_mtu() I could reproduce the issue with KASAN kernels, between 10.246.7.151 and 10.246.7.152 : 1) 20 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -H 10.246.7.152 -l 1000 & 2) At the same time run following loop : while : do ip ro add 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500 ip ro del 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500 done Cong Wang attempted to add back rt->fi in commit 82486aa6f1b9 ("ipv4: restore rt->fi for reference counting") but this proved to add some issues that were complex to solve. Instead, I suggested to add a refcount to the metrics themselves, being a standalone object (in particular, no reference to other objects) I tried to make this patch as small as possible to ease its backport, instead of being super clean. Note that we believe that only ipv4 dst need to take care of the metric refcount. But if this is wrong, this patch adds the basic infrastructure to extend this to other families. Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for reviewing this patch, and Cong Wang for his efforts on this problem.

net: fix IP early demux races

2015-12-15T04:52:00+00:00

David Wilder reported crashes caused by dst reuse. I am seeing a crash on a distro V4.2.3 kernel caused by a double release of a dst_entry. In ipv4_dst_destroy() the call to list_empty() finds a poisoned next pointer, indicating the dst_entry has already been removed from the list and freed. The crash occurs 18 to 24 hours into a run of a network stress exerciser. Thanks to his detailed report and analysis, we were able to understand the core issue. IP early demux can associate a dst to skb, after a lookup in TCP/UDP sockets. When socket cache is not properly set, we want to store into sk->sk_dst_cache the dst for future IP early demux lookups, by acquiring a stable refcount on the dst. Problem is this acquisition is simply using an atomic_inc(), which works well, unless the dst was queued for destruction from dst_release() noticing dst refcount went to zero, if DST_NOCACHE was set on dst. We need to make sure current refcount is not zero before incrementing it, or risk double free as David reported. This patch, being a stable candidate, adds two new helpers, and use them only from IP early demux problematic paths. It might be possible to merge in net-next skb_dst_force() and skb_dst_force_safe(), but I prefer having the smallest patch for stable kernels : Maybe some skb_dst_force() callers do not expect skb->dst can suddenly be cleared. Can probably be backported back to linux-3.6 kernels Reported-by: David J. Wilder Tested-by: David J. Wilder Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: constify ip_route_output_flow() socket argument

2015-09-25T20:00:37+00:00

Very soon, TCP stack might call inet_csk_route_req(), which calls inet_csk_route_req() with an unlocked listener socket, so we need to make sure ip_route_output_flow() is not trying to change any field from its socket argument. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: Pass net into okfn

2015-09-18T00:18:37+00:00

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process packets in. As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in many cases a code simplification. To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn just silently drops the struct net. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: use dctcp if enabled on the route to the initiator

2015-08-31T19:34:00+00:00

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok, and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes. We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0) is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request(). Joint work with Florian Westphal.
