xfrm: add XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE for single SA migration

2026-06-04T10:22:47+00:00

Add a new netlink method to migrate a single xfrm_state. Unlike the existing migration mechanism (SA + policy), this supports migrating only the SA and allows changing the reqid. The SA is looked up via xfrm_usersa_id, which uniquely identifies it, so old_saddr is not needed. old_daddr is carried in xfrm_usersa_id.daddr. The reqid is invariant in the old migration.

xfrm: Add support for per cpu xfrm state handling.

2024-10-29T10:56:00+00:00

Currently all flows for a certain SA must be processed by the same cpu to avoid packet reordering and lock contention of the xfrm state lock. To get rid of this limitation, the IETF standardized per cpu SAs in RFC 9611. This patch implements the xfrm part of it. We add the cpu as a lookup key for xfrm states and a config option to generate acquire messages for each cpu. With that, we can have on each cpu a SA with identical traffic selector so that flows can be processed in parallel on all cpus.

xfrm: support sending NAT keepalives in ESP in UDP states

2024-06-26T11:22:42+00:00

Add the ability to send out RFC-3948 NAT keepalives from the xfrm stack. To use, Userspace sets an XFRM_NAT_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL integer property when creating XFRM outbound states which denotes the number of seconds between keepalive messages. Keepalive messages are sent from a per net delayed work which iterates over the xfrm states. The logic is guarded by the xfrm state spinlock due to the xfrm state walk iterator. Possible future enhancements: - Adding counters to keep track of sent keepalives. - deduplicate NAT keepalives between states sharing the same nat keepalive parameters. - provisioning hardware offloads for devices capable of implementing this. - revise xfrm state list to use an rcu list in order to avoid running this under spinlock.

xfrm: Add Direction to the SA in or out

2024-05-01T08:05:11+00:00

This patch introduces the 'dir' attribute, 'in' or 'out', to the xfrm_state, SA, enhancing usability by delineating the scope of values based on direction. An input SA will restrict values pertinent to input, effectively segregating them from output-related values. And an output SA will restrict attributes for output. This change aims to streamline the configuration process and improve the overall consistency of SA attributes during configuration. This feature sets the groundwork for future patches, including the upcoming IP-TFS patch. Signed-off-by: Antony Antony Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

xfrm: Correct spelling mistake in xfrm.h comment

2024-04-29T05:52:40+00:00

A spelling error was found in the comment section of include/uapi/linux/xfrm.h. Since this header file is copied to many userspace programs and undergoes Debian spellcheck, it's preferable to fix it in upstream rather than downstream having exceptions. This commit fixes the spelling mistake. Fixes: df71837d5024 ("[LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.") Signed-off-by: Antony Antony Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert

xfrm: Annotate struct xfrm_sec_ctx with __counted_by

2023-10-05T06:18:19+00:00

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct xfrm_sec_ctx. Cc: Steffen Klassert Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: "David S.

xfrm: add new packet offload flag

2022-12-05T09:30:47+00:00

In the next patches, the xfrm core code will be extended to support new type of offload - packet offload. In that mode, both policy and state should be specially configured in order to perform whole offloaded data path. Full offload takes care of encryption, decryption, encapsulation and other operations with headers. As this mode is new for XFRM policy flow, we can "start fresh" with flag bits and release first and second bit for future use.
