2021-03-30net: sched: validate stab valuesEric Dumazet1-2/+5
commit e323d865b36134e8c5c82c834df89109a5c60dab upstream. iproute2 package is well behaved, but malicious user space can provide illegal shift values and trigger UBSAN reports. Add stab parameter to red_check_params() to validate user input. syzbot reported: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/net/red.h:312:18 shift exponent 111 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int' CPU: 1 PID: 14662 Comm: syz-executor.3 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:79 [inline] dump_stack+0x141/0x1d7 lib/dump_stack.c:120 ubsan_epilogue+0xb/0x5a lib/ubsan.c:148 __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold+0xb1/0x181 lib/ubsan.c:327 red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time include/net/red.h:312 [inline] red_calc_qavg include/net/red.h:353 [inline] choke_enqueue.cold+0x18/0x3dd net/sched/sch_choke.c:221 __dev_xmit_skb net/core/dev.c:3837 [inline] __dev_queue_xmit+0x1943/0x2e00 net/core/dev.c:4150 neigh_hh_output include/net/neighbour.h:499 [inline] neigh_output include/net/neighbour.h:508 [inline] ip6_finish_output2+0x911/0x1700 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:117 __ip6_finish_output net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:182 [inline] __ip6_finish_output+0x4c1/0xe10 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:161 ip6_finish_output+0x35/0x200 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:192 NF_HOOK_COND include/linux/netfilter.h:290 [inline] ip6_output+0x1e4/0x530 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:215 dst_output include/net/dst.h:448 [inline] NF_HOOK include/linux/netfilter.h:301 [inline] NF_HOOK include/linux/netfilter.h:295 [inline] ip6_xmit+0x127e/0x1eb0 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:320 inet6_csk_xmit+0x358/0x630 net/ipv6/inet6_connection_sock.c:135 dccp_transmit_skb+0x973/0x12c0 net/dccp/output.c:138 dccp_send_reset+0x21b/0x2b0 net/dccp/output.c:535 dccp_finish_passive_close net/dccp/proto.c:123 [inline] dccp_finish_passive_close+0xed/0x140 net/dccp/proto.c:118 dccp_terminate_connection net/dccp/proto.c:958 [inline] dccp_close+0xb3c/0xe60 net/dccp/proto.c:1028 inet_release+0x12e/0x280 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:431 inet6_release+0x4c/0x70 net/ipv6/af_inet6.c:478 __sock_release+0xcd/0x280 net/socket.c:599 sock_close+0x18/0x20 net/socket.c:1258 __fput+0x288/0x920 fs/file_table.c:280 task_work_run+0xdd/0x1a0 kernel/task_work.c:140 tracehook_notify_resume include/linux/tracehook.h:189 [inline] Fixes: 8afa10cbe281 ("net_sched: red: Avoid illegal values") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-09sch_red: Adaptative RED AQMEric Dumazet1-0/+21
Adaptative RED AQM for linux, based on paper from Sally FLoyd, Ramakrishna Gummadi, and Scott Shenker, August 2001 : http://icir.org/floyd/papers/adaptiveRed.pdf Goal of Adaptative RED is to make max_p a dynamic value between 1% and 50% to reach the target average queue : (max_th - min_th) / 2 Every 500 ms: if (avg > target and max_p <= 0.5) increase max_p : max_p += alpha; else if (avg < target and max_p >= 0.01) decrease max_p : max_p *= beta; target :[min_th + 0.4*(min_th - max_th), min_th + 0.6*(min_th - max_th)]. alpha : min(0.01, max_p / 4) beta : 0.9 max_P is a Q0.32 fixed point number (unsigned, with 32 bits mantissa) Changes against our RED implementation are : max_p is no longer a negative power of two (1/(2^Plog)), but a Q0.32 fixed point number, to allow full range described in Adatative paper. To deliver a random number, we now use a reciprocal divide (thats really a multiply), but this operation is done once per marked/droped packet when in RED_BETWEEN_TRESH window, so added cost (compared to previous AND operation) is near zero. dump operation gives current max_p value in a new TCA_RED_MAX_P attribute.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines act as such devices. I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001 In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to setup min_th (target average queue size) (max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup) By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change() if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q)) red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms); First, if queue is empty, we should call red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms); Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is meaningless. Oh well... [PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change() Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty, we start an idle period, not end it.

2011-01-21net_sched: accurate bytes/packets stats/ratesEric Dumazet1-5/+6
In commit 44b8288308ac9d (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated) This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have effect on dequeue() rate.

2009-09-06net_sched: make cls_ops->change and cls_ops->delete optionalPatrick McHardy1-13/+0
Some schedulers don't support creating, changing or deleting classes. Make the respective callbacks optionally and consistently return -EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported operations, instead of currently either -EOPNOTSUPP, -ENOSYS or no error. In case of sch_prio and sch_multiq, the removed operations additionally checked for an invalid class. This is not necessary since the class argument can only orginate from ->get() or in case of ->change is 0 for creation of new classes, in which case ->change() incorrectly returned -ENOENT. As a side-effect, this patch fixes a possible (root-only) NULL pointer function call in sch_ingress, which didn't implement a so far mandatory ->delete() operation.

2008-08-05net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski1-1/+1
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

2005-11-06[PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard droppingThomas Graf1-1/+7
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold. This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this option very carefully, it does more harm than good if (qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst cycles. The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

2005-11-06[PKT_SCHED]: RED: Use new generic red interfaceThomas Graf1-247/+74
Simplifies code a lot by separating the red algorithm and the queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks and forced marks but sum them together again to not break backwards compatibility.

2005-07-09[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()David S. Miller1-1/+1
This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the 'list' member of sk_buff. Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty() which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
