ipv4: convert fib_num_tclassid_users to atomic_t

2021-12-08T08:01:12+00:00

commit 213f5f8f31f10aa1e83187ae20fb7fa4e626b724 upstream. Before commit faa041a40b9f ("ipv4: Create cleanup helper for fib_nh") changes to net->ipv4.fib_num_tclassid_users were protected by RTNL. After the change, this is no longer the case, as free_fib_info_rcu() runs after rcu grace period, without rtnl being held.

tcp: add new tcp_mtu_probe_floor sysctl

2019-08-09T20:03:30+00:00

The current implementation of TCP MTU probing can considerably underestimate the MTU on lossy connections allowing the MSS to get down to 48. We have found that in almost all of these cases on our networks these paths can handle much larger MTUs meaning the connections are being artificially limited. Even though TCP MTU probing can raise the MSS back up we have seen this not to be the case causing connections to be "stuck" with an MSS of 48 when heavy loss is present. Prior to pushing out this change we could not keep TCP MTU probing enabled b/c of the above reasons. Now with a reasonble floor set we've had it enabled for the past 6 months. The new sysctl will still default to TCP_MIN_SND_MSS (48), but gives administrators the ability to control the floor of MSS probing.

tcp: add tcp_min_snd_mss sysctl

2019-06-16T01:47:31+00:00

Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or SYN/ACK messages. This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu overhead. Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40 bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload. In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value to a saner value. We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility reasons. Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value in commit c39508d6f118 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.") from 64 to 88. We might in the future merge TCP_MIN_SND_MSS and TCP_MIN_MSS.

net: dynamically allocate fqdir structures

2019-05-26T21:08:05+00:00

Following patch will add rcu grace period before fqdir rhashtable destruction, so we need to dynamically allocate fqdir structures to not force expensive synchronize_rcu() calls in netns dismantle path. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: rename netns_frags to fqdir

1) struct netns_frags is renamed to struct fqdir This structure is really holding many frag queues in a hash table. 2) (struct inet_frag_queue)->net field is renamed to fqdir since net is generally associated to a 'struct net' pointer in networking stack.

inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash

2019-03-27T21:29:26+00:00

According to Amit Klein and Benny Pinkas, IP ID generation is too weak and might be used by attackers. Even with recent net_hash_mix() fix (netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()) having 64bit key and Jenkins hash is risky. It is time to switch to siphash and its 128bit keys.

net: provide a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept for raw socket lookup with VRFs

2018-11-08T00:12:38+00:00

Add a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept to control raw socket lookup in a manner similar to use of tcp_l3mdev_accept for stream and of udp_l3mdev_accept for datagram sockets. Have this default to enabled for reasons of backwards compatibility. This is so as to specify the output device with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but using a socket not bound to the corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping implementations to be run with specifying the device but without executing it in the VRF. If the option is disabled, packets received in a VRF context are only handled by a raw socket bound to the VRF, and correspondingly packets in the default VRF are only handled by a socket not bound to any VRF.

net: ipv4: Control SKB reprioritization after forwarding

2018-08-01T16:52:30+00:00

After IPv4 packets are forwarded, the priority of the corresponding SKB is updated according to the TOS field of IPv4 header. This overrides any prioritization done earlier by e.g. an skbedit action or ingress-qos-map defined at a vlan device. Such overriding may not always be desirable. Even if the packet ends up being routed, which implies this is an L3 network node, an administrator may wish to preserve whatever prioritization was done earlier on in the pipeline. Therefore introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 1 to maintain backward-compatible behavior.
