net: fib_rules: Fix iif / oif matching on L3 master device

2025-04-16T00:54:56+00:00

Before commit 40867d74c374 ("net: Add l3mdev index to flow struct and avoid oif reset for port devices") it was possible to use FIB rules to match on a L3 domain. This was done by having a FIB rule match on iif / oif being a L3 master device. It worked because prior to the FIB rule lookup the iif / oif fields in the flow structure were reset to the index of the L3 master device to which the input / output device was enslaved to. The above scheme made it impossible to match on the original input / output device. Therefore, cited commit stopped overwriting the iif / oif fields in the flow structure and instead stored the index of the enslaving L3 master device in a new field ('flowi_l3mdev') in the flow structure. While the change enabled new use cases, it broke the original use case of matching on a L3 domain. Fix this by interpreting the iif / oif matching on a L3 master device as a match against the L3 domain. In other words, if the iif / oif in the FIB rule points to a L3 master device, compare the provided index against 'flowi_l3mdev' rather than 'flowi_{i,o}if'. Before cited commit, a FIB rule that matched on 'iif vrf1' would only match incoming traffic from devices enslaved to 'vrf1'. With the proposed change (i.e., comparing against 'flowi_l3mdev'), the rule would also match traffic originating from a socket bound to 'vrf1'. Avoid that by adding a new flow flag ('FLOWI_FLAG_L3MDEV_OIF') that indicates if the L3 domain was derived from the output interface or the input interface (when not set) and take this flag into account when evaluating the FIB rule against the flow structure. Avoid unnecessary checks in the data path by detecting that a rule matches on a L3 master device when the rule is installed and marking it as such. Tested using the following script [1].

net: Add l3mdev index to flow struct and avoid oif reset for port devices

2022-03-16T03:20:02+00:00

The fundamental premise of VRF and l3mdev core code is binding a socket to a device (l3mdev or netdev with an L3 domain) to indicate L3 scope. Legacy code resets flowi_oif to the l3mdev losing any original port device binding. Ben (among others) has demonstrated use cases where the original port device binding is important and needs to be retained. This patch handles that by adding a new entry to the common flow struct that can indicate the l3mdev index for later rule and table matching avoiding the need to reset flowi_oif. In addition to allowing more use cases that require port device binds, this patch brings a few datapath simplications: 1. l3mdev_fib_rule_match is only called when walking fib rules and always after l3mdev_update_flow. That allows an optimization to bail early for non-VRF type uses cases when flowi_l3mdev is not set. Also, only that index needs to be checked for the FIB table id. 2. l3mdev_update_flow can be called with flowi_oif set to a l3mdev (e.g., VRF) device. By resetting flowi_oif only for this case the FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF flag is not longer needed and can be removed, removing several checks in the datapath. The flowi_iif path can be simplified to only be called if the it is not loopback (loopback can not be assigned to an L3 domain) and the l3mdev index is not already set. 3. Avoid another device lookup in the output path when the fib lookup returns a reject failure. Note: 2 functional tests for local traffic with reject fib rules are updated to reflect the new direct failure at FIB lookup time for ping rather than the failure on packet path. The current code fails like this: HINT: Fails since address on vrf device is out of device scope COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A ping -c1 -w1 -I eth1 172.16.3.1 ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than: eth1 PING 172.16.3.1 (172.16.3.1) from 172.16.3.1 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data. --- 172.16.3.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms where the test now directly fails: HINT: Fails since address on vrf device is out of device scope COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A ping -c1 -w1 -I eth1 172.16.3.1 ping: connect: No route to host Signed-off-by: David Ahern Tested-by: Ben Greear Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220314204551.16369-1-dsahern@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

l3mdev: add infrastructure for table to VRF mapping

2020-06-21T00:22:22+00:00

Add infrastructure to l3mdev (the core code for Layer 3 master devices) in order to find out the corresponding VRF device for a given table id. Therefore, the l3mdev implementations: - can register a callback that returns the device index of the l3mdev associated with a given table id; - can offer the lookup function (table to VRF device).

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

ipv6: convert major tx path to use RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF

2019-06-23T20:24:17+00:00

For tx path, in most cases, we still have to take refcnt on the dst cause the caller is caching the dst somewhere. But it still is beneficial to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag while doing the route lookup. It is cause this flag prevents manipulating refcnt on net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry when doing fib6_rule_lookup() to traverse each routing table. The null_entry is a shared object and constant updates on it cause false sharing. We converted the current major lookup function ip6_route_output_flags() to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF. Together with the change in the rx path, we see noticable performance boost: I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues. Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen. Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port. Both hosts have multiple custom rules: - For incoming packets, only local table is traversed. - For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route. The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows: - Before the fix: 3.78Mpps - After the fix: 5.50Mpps Signed-off-by: Wei Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
