tcp: Fix bind() regression for v4-mapped-v6 wildcard address.

2023-09-13T06:18:04+00:00

Andrei Vagin reported bind() regression with strace logs. If we bind() a TCPv6 socket to ::FFFF:0.0.0.0 and then bind() a TCPv4 socket to 127.0.0.1, the 2nd bind() should fail but now succeeds. from socket import * s1 = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM) s1.bind(('::ffff:0.0.0.0', 0)) s2 = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) s2.bind(('127.0.0.1', s1.getsockname()[1])) During the 2nd bind(), if tb->family is AF_INET6 and sk->sk_family is AF_INET in inet_bind2_bucket_match_addr_any(), we still need to check if tb has the v4-mapped-v6 wildcard address. The example above does not work after commit 5456262d2baa ("net: Fix incorrect address comparison when searching for a bind2 bucket"), but the blamed change is not the commit. Before the commit, the leading zeros of ::FFFF:0.0.0.0 were treated as 0.0.0.0, and the sequence above worked by chance. Technically, this case has been broken since bhash2 was introduced. Note that if we bind() two sockets to 127.0.0.1 and then ::FFFF:0.0.0.0, the 2nd bind() fails properly because we fall back to using bhash to detect conflicts for the v4-mapped-v6 address.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved. Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move. The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use. To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future kernel releases. The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels are created" * tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: sysctl: Use ctl_table_size as stopping criteria for list macro sysctl: SIZE_MAX->ARRAY_SIZE in register_net_sysctl vrf: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz netfilter: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz ax.25: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz sysctl: Add size to register_net_sysctl function sysctl: Add size arg to __register_sysctl_init sysctl: Add size to register_sysctl sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table sysctl: Add size argument to init_header sysctl: Add ctl_table_size to ctl_table_header sysctl: Use ctl_table_header in list_for_each_table_entry sysctl: Prefer ctl_table_header in proc_sysctl

networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz

2023-08-15T22:26:18+00:00

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users. We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz in subsequent commits. An additional size function was added to the following files in order to calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file: include/net/ipv6.h net/ipv6/icmp.c net/ipv6/route.c net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

The mptcp protocol maintains an additional socket just to easily invoke a few stream operations on the first subflow. One of them is bind(). Factor out the helpers operating directly on the struct sock, to allow get rid of the above dependency in the next patch without duplicating the existing code. No functional changes intended.

tcp: Reduce chance of collisions in inet6_hashfn().

2023-07-24T23:52:37+00:00

For both IPv4 and IPv6 incoming TCP connections are tracked in a hash table with a hash over the source & destination addresses and ports. However, the IPv6 hash is insufficient and can lead to a high rate of collisions. The IPv6 hash used an XOR to fit everything into the 96 bits for the fast jenkins hash, meaning it is possible for an external entity to ensure the hash collides, thus falling back to a linear search in the bucket, which is slow. We take the approach of hash the full length of IPv6 address in __ipv6_addr_jhash() so that all users can benefit from a more secure version. While this may look like it adds overhead, the reality of modern CPUs means that this is unmeasurable in real world scenarios. In simulating with llvm-mca, the increase in cycles for the hashing code was ~16 cycles on Skylake (from a base of ~155), and an extra ~9 on Nehalem (base of ~173). In commit dd6d2910c5e0 ("netfilter: conntrack: switch to siphash") netfilter switched from a jenkins hash to a siphash, but even the faster hsiphash is a more significant overhead (~20-30%) in some preliminary testing. So, in this patch, we keep to the more conservative approach to ensure we don't add much overhead per SYN. In testing, this results in a consistently even spread across the connection buckets. In both testing and real-world scenarios, we have not found any measurable performance impact.
