commit dbb2483b2a46fbaf833cfb5deb5ed9cace9c7399 upstream.

In commit 6a53b7593233 ("xfrm: check id proto in validate_tmpl()")
I introduced a check for xfrm protocol, but according to Herbert
IPSEC_PROTO_ANY should only be used as a wildcard for lookup, so
it should be removed from validate_tmpl().

And, IPSEC_PROTO_ANY is expected to only match 3 IPSec-specific
protocols, this is why xfrm_state_flush() could still miss
IPPROTO_ROUTING, which leads that those entries are left in
net-&gt;xfrm.state_all before exit net. Fix this by replacing
IPSEC_PROTO_ANY with zero.

This patch also extracts the check from validate_tmpl() to
xfrm_id_proto_valid() and uses it in parse_ipsecrequest().
With this, no other protocols should be added into xfrm.

Fixes: 6a53b7593233 ("xfrm: check id proto in validate_tmpl()")

commit e4db5b61c572475bbbcf63e3c8a2606bfccf2c9d upstream.

Kristian Evensen says:
  In a project I am involved in, we are running ipsec (Strongswan) on
  different mt7621-based routers. Each router is configured as an
  initiator and has around ~30 tunnels to different responders (running
  on misc. devices). Before the flow cache was removed (kernel 4.9), we
  got a combined throughput of around 70Mbit/s for all tunnels on one
  router. However, we recently switched to kernel 4.14 (4.14.48), and
  the total throughput is somewhere around 57Mbit/s (best-case). I.e., a
  drop of around 20%. Reverting the flow cache removal restores, as
  expected, performance levels to that of kernel 4.9.

When pcpu xdst exists, it has to be validated first before it can be
used.

A negative hit thus increases cost vs. no-cache.

As number of tunnels increases, hit rate decreases so this pcpu caching
isn't a viable strategy.

Furthermore, the xdst cache also needs to run with BH off, so when
removing this the bh disable/enable pairs can be removed too.

Kristian tested a 4.14.y backport of this change and reported
increased performance:

  In our tests, the throughput reduction has been reduced from around -20%
  to -5%. We also see that the overall throughput is independent of the
  number of tunnels, while before the throughput was reduced as the number
  of tunnels increased.

[ Upstream commit acf568ee859f098279eadf551612f103afdacb4e ]

This is an old bugbear of mine:

https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg03894.html

By crafting special packets, it is possible to cause recursion
in our kernel when processing transport-mode packets at levels
that are only limited by packet size.

The easiest one is with DNAT, but an even worse one is where
UDP encapsulation is used in which case you just have to insert
an UDP encapsulation header in between each level of recursion.

This patch avoids this problem by reinjecting tranport-mode packets
through a tasklet.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

In conjunction with crypto offload [1], removing the ESP trailer by
hardware can potentially improve the performance by avoiding (1) a
cache miss incurred by reading the nexthdr field and (2) the necessity
to calculate the csum value of the trailer in order to keep skb-&gt;csum
valid.

This patch introduces the changes to the xfrm stack and merely serves
as an infrastructure. Subsequent patch to mlx5 driver will put this to
a good use.

<title>net: xfrm: support setting an output mark.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:077fbac405bfc6d41419ad6c1725804ad4e9887c</id>
<content type='text'>
On systems that use mark-based routing it may be necessary for
routing lookups to use marks in order for packets to be routed
correctly. An example of such a system is Android, which uses
socket marks to route packets via different networks.

Currently, routing lookups in tunnel mode always use a mark of
zero, making routing incorrect on such systems.

This patch adds a new output_mark element to the xfrm state and
a corresponding XFRMA_OUTPUT_MARK netlink attribute. The output
mark differs from the existing xfrm mark in two ways:

1. The xfrm mark is used to match xfrm policies and states, while
   the xfrm output mark is used to set the mark (and influence
   the routing) of the packets emitted by those states.
2. The existing mark is constrained to be a subset of the bits of
   the originating socket or transformed packet, but the output
   mark is arbitrary and depends only on the state.

The use of a separate mark provides additional flexibility. For
example:

- A packet subject to two transforms (e.g., transport mode inside
  tunnel mode) can have two different output marks applied to it,
  one for the transport mode SA and one for the tunnel mode SA.
- On a system where socket marks determine routing, the packets
  emitted by an IPsec tunnel can be routed based on a mark that
  is determined by the tunnel, not by the marks of the
  unencrypted packets.
- Support for setting the output marks can be introduced without
  breaking any existing setups that employ both mark-based
  routing and xfrm tunnel mode. Simply changing the code to use
  the xfrm mark for routing output packets could xfrm mark could
  change behaviour in a way that breaks these setups.

If the output mark is unspecified or set to zero, the mark is not
set or changed.

retain last used xfrm_dst in a pcpu cache.
On next request, reuse this dst if the policies are the same.

The cache will not help with strict RR workloads as there is no hit.

The cache packet-path part is reasonably small, the notifier part is
needed so we do not add long hangs when a device is dismantled but some
pcpu xdst still holds a reference, there are also calls to the flush
operation when userspace deletes SAs so modules can be removed
(there is no hit.

We need to run the dst_release on the correct cpu to avoid races with
packet path.  This is done by adding a work_struct for each cpu and then
doing the actual test/release on each affected cpu via schedule_work_on().

Test results using 4 network namespaces and null encryption:

ns1           ns2          -&gt; ns3           -&gt; ns4
netperf -&gt; xfrm/null enc   -&gt; xfrm/null dec -&gt; netserver

what                    TCP_STREAM      UDP_STREAM      UDP_RR
Flow cache:             14644.61        294.35          327231.64

Pcpu cache:		14629.70	292.21		205595.22

UDP tests used 64byte packets, tests ran for one minute each,
value is average over ten iterations.

'Flow cache' is 'net-next', 'No flow cache' is net-next plus this
series but without this patch.

After rcu conversions performance degradation in forward tests isn't that

See next patch for some numbers.

A followup patcg could then also remove genid from the policies
as we do not cache bundles anymore.
