====================
bpfilter
v2->v3:
- followed Luis's suggestion and significantly simplied first patch
with shmem_kernel_file_setup+kernel_write. Added kdoc for new helper
- fixed typos and race to access pipes with mutex
- tested with bpfilter being 'builtin'. CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH=y|m both work.
Interesting to see a usermode executable being embedded inside vmlinux.
- it doesn't hurt to enable bpfilter in .config.
ip_setsockopt commands sent to usermode via pipes and -ENOPROTOOPT is
returned from userspace, so kernel falls back to original iptables code
v1->v2:
this patch set is almost a full rewrite of the earlier umh modules approach
The v1 of patches and follow up discussion was covered by LWN:
https://lwn.net/Articles/749108/
I believe the v2 addresses all issues brought up by Andy and others.
Mainly there are zero changes to kernel/module.c
Instead of teaching module loading logic to recognize special
umh module, let normal kernel modules execute part of its own
.init.rodata as a new user space process (Andy's idea)
Patch 1 introduces this new helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
Input:
data + len == executable file
Output:
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};
Advantages vs v1:
- the embedded user mode executable is stored as .init.rodata inside
normal kernel module. These pages are freed when .ko finishes loading
- the elf file is copied into tmpfs file. The user mode process is swappable.
- the communication between user mode process and 'parent' kernel module
is done via two unix pipes, hence protocol is not exposed to
user space
- impossible to launch umh on its own (that was the main issue of v1)
and impossible to be man-in-the-middle due to pipes
- bpfilter.ko consists of tiny kernel part that passes the data
between kernel and umh via pipes and much bigger umh part that
doing all the work
- 'lsmod' shows bpfilter.ko as usual.
'rmmod bpfilter' removes kernel module and kills corresponding umh
- signed bpfilter.ko covers the whole image including umh code
Few issues:
- the user can still attach to the process and debug it with
'gdb /proc/pid/exe pid', but 'gdb -p pid' doesn't work.
(a bit worse comparing to v1)
- tinyconfig will notice a small increase in .text

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko
The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
Example:
$ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko
bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.
Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.
Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko
If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.

Introduce helper:
int fork_usermode_blob(void *data, size_t len, struct umh_info *info);
struct umh_info {
struct file *pipe_to_umh;
struct file *pipe_from_umh;
pid_t pid;
};
that GPLed kernel modules (signed or unsigned) can use it to execute part
of its own data as swappable user mode process.
The kernel will do:
- allocate a unique file in tmpfs
- populate that file with [data, data + len] bytes
- user-mode-helper code will do_execve that file and, before the process
starts, the kernel will create two unix pipes for bidirectional
communication between kernel module and umh
- close tmpfs file, effectively deleting it
- the fork_usermode_blob will return zero on success and populate
'struct umh_info' with two unix pipes and the pid of the user process
As the first step in the development of the bpfilter project
the fork_usermode_blob() helper is introduced to allow user mode code
to be invoked from a kernel module. The idea is that user mode code plus
normal kernel module code are built as part of the kernel build
and installed as traditional kernel module into distro specified location,
such that from a distribution point of view, there is
no difference between regular kernel modules and kernel modules + umh code.
Such modules can be signed, modprobed, rmmod, etc. The use of this new helper
by a kernel module doesn't make it any special from kernel and user space
tooling point of view.
Such approach enables kernel to delegate functionality traditionally done
by the kernel modules into the user space processes (either root or !root) and
reduces security attack surface of the new code. The buggy umh code would crash
the user process, but not the kernel. Another advantage is that umh code
of the kernel module can be debugged and tested out of user space
(e.g. opening the possibility to run clang sanitizers, fuzzers or
user space test suites on the umh code).
In case of the bpfilter project such architecture allows complex control plane
to be done in the user space while bpf based data plane stays in the kernel.
Since umh can crash, can be oom-ed by the kernel, killed by the admin,
the kernel module that uses them (like bpfilter) needs to manage life
time of umh on its own via two unix pipes and the pid of umh.
The exit code of such kernel module should kill the umh it started,
so that rmmod of the kernel module will cleanup the corresponding umh.
Just like if the kernel module does kmalloc() it should kfree() it
in the exit code.

Selftests fail to build on several distros/architectures because of
missing headers files.
On a Ubuntu/x86_64 some missing headers are:
asm/byteorder.h, asm/socket.h, asm/sockios.h
On a Debian/arm32 build already fails at sys/cdefs.h
In both cases, these already exist in /usr/include/<arch-specific-dir>,
but Clang does not include these when using '-target bpf' flag,
since it is no longer compiling against the host architecture.
The solution is to:
- run Clang without '-target bpf' and extract the include chain for the
current system
- add these to the bpf build with '-idirafter'
The choice of -idirafter is to catch this error without injecting
unexpected include behavior: if an arch-specific tree is built
for bpf in the future, this will be correctly found by Clang.

In "struct bpf_map_info", the name "btf_id", "btf_key_id" and "btf_value_id"
could cause confusion because the "id" of "btf_id" means the BPF obj id
given to the BTF object while
"btf_key_id" and "btf_value_id" means the BTF type id within
that BTF object.
To make it clear, btf_key_id and btf_value_id are
renamed to btf_key_type_id and btf_value_type_id.

This patch does the followings:
1. Limit BTF_MAX_TYPES and BTF_MAX_NAME_OFFSET to 64k. We can
raise it later.
2. Remove the BTF_TYPE_PARENT and BTF_STR_TBL_ELF_ID. They are
currently encoded at the highest bit of a u32.
It is because the current use case does not require supporting
parent type (i.e type_id referring to a type in another BTF file).
It also does not support referring to a string in ELF.
The BTF_TYPE_PARENT and BTF_STR_TBL_ELF_ID checks are replaced
by BTF_TYPE_ID_CHECK and BTF_STR_OFFSET_CHECK which are
defined in btf.c instead of uapi/linux/btf.h.
3. Limit the BTF_INFO_KIND from 5 bits to 4 bits which is enough.
There is unused bits headroom if we ever needed it later.
4. The root bit in BTF_INFO is also removed because it is not
used in the current use case.
5. Remove BTF_INT_VARARGS since func type is not supported now.
The BTF_INT_ENCODING is limited to 4 bits instead of 8 bits.
The above can be added back later because the verifier
ensures the unused bits are zeros.

There are currently unused section descriptions in the btf_header. Those
sections are here to support future BTF use cases. For example, the
func section (func_off) is to support function signature (e.g. the BPF
prog function signature).
Instead of spelling out all potential sections up-front in the btf_header.
This patch makes changes to btf_header such that extending it (e.g. adding
a section) is possible later. The unused ones can be removed for now and
they can be added back later.
This patch:
1. adds a hdr_len to the btf_header. It will allow adding
sections (and other info like parent_label and parent_name)
later. The check is similar to the existing bpf_attr.
If a user passes in a longer hdr_len, the kernel
ensures the extra tailing bytes are 0.
2. allows the section order in the BTF object to be
different from its sec_off order in btf_header.
3. each sec_off is followed by a sec_len. It must not have gap or
overlapping among sections.
The string section is ensured to be at the end due to the 4 bytes
alignment requirement of the type section.
The above changes will allow enough flexibility to
add new sections (and other info) to the btf_header later.
This patch also removes an unnecessary !err check
at the end of btf_parse().

There are specific cases, such as SAE authentication exchange, that
might require long duration to complete. For such cases, add support
for indicating to the driver the required duration of the prepare_tx()
operation, so the driver would still be able to complete the frame
exchange.
Currently, indicate the duration only for SAE authentication exchange,
as SAE authentication can take up to 2000 msec (as defined in IEEE
P802.11-REVmd D1.0 p. 3504).
As the patch modified the prepare_tx() callback API, also modify

In nfqueue, two consecutive skbuffs may race to create the conntrack
entry. Hence, the one that loses the race gets dropped due to clash in
the insertion into the hashes from the nf_conntrack_confirm() path.
This patch adds a new nf_conntrack_update() function which searches for
possible clashes and resolve them. NAT mangling for the packet losing
race is corrected by using the conntrack information that won race.
In order to avoid direct module dependencies with conntrack and NAT, the
nf_ct_hook and nf_nat_hook structures are used for this purpose.

In commit 47b7e7f82802, this bit was removed at the same time the
RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag was removed. However, it is needed when
link-local addresses are used, which is a very common case: when
packets are routed, neighbor solicitations are done using link-local
addresses. For example, the following neighbor solicitation is not
matched by "-m rpfilter":
IP6 fe80::5254:33ff:fe00:1 > ff02::1:ff00:3: ICMP6, neighbor
solicitation, who has 2001:db8::5254:33ff:fe00:3, length 32
Commit 47b7e7f82802 doesn't quite explain why we shouldn't use
RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE in the rpfilter case. I suppose the interface check
later in the function would make it redundant. However, the remaining
of the routing code is using RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE when there is no
source address (which matches rpfilter's case with a non-unicast
destination, like with neighbor solicitation).

Currently the packet rewrite and instantiation of nat NULL bindings
happens from the protocol specific nat backend.
Invocation occurs either via ip(6)table_nat or the nf_tables nat chain type.
Invocation looks like this (simplified):
NF_HOOK()
|
`---iptable_nat
|
`---> nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -> nf_nat_packet
|
new packet? pass skb though iptables nat chain
|
`---> iptable_nat: ipt_do_table
In nft case, this looks the same (nft_chain_nat_ipv4 instead of
iptable_nat).
This is a problem for two reasons:
1. Can't use iptables nat and nf_tables nat at the same time,
as the first user adds a nat binding (nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 adds a
NULL binding if do_table() did not find a matching nat rule so we
can detect post-nat tuple collisions).
2. If you use e.g. nft_masq, snat, redir, etc. uses must also register
an empty base chain so that the nat core gets called fro NF_HOOK()
to do the reverse translation, which is neither obvious nor user
friendly.
After this change, the base hook gets registered not from iptable_nat or
nftables nat hooks, but from the l3 nat core.
iptables/nft nat base hooks get registered with the nat core instead:
NF_HOOK()
|
`---> nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 -> nf_nat_packet
|
new packet? pass skb through iptables/nftables nat chains
|
+-> iptables_nat: ipt_do_table
+-> nft nat chain x
`-> nft nat chain y
The nat core deals with null bindings and reverse translation.
When no mapping exists, it calls the registered nat lookup hooks until
one creates a new mapping.
If both iptables and nftables nat hooks exist, the first matching
one is used (i.e., higher priority wins).
Also, nft users do not need to create empty nat hooks anymore,
nat core always registers the base hooks that take care of reverse/reply
translation.

This adds the infrastructure to register nat hooks with the nat core
instead of the netfilter core.
nat hooks are used to configure nat bindings. Such hooks are registered
from ip(6)table_nat or by the nftables core when a nat chain is added.
After next patch, nat hooks will be registered with nf_nat instead of
netfilter core. This allows to use many nat lookup functions at the
same time while doing the real packet rewrite (nat transformation) in
one place.
This change doesn't convert the intended users yet to ease review.

====================
qed*: Add support for management firmware TLV request.
Management firmware (MFW) requires config and state information from
the driver. It queries this via TLV (type-length-value) request wherein
mfw specificies the list of required TLVs. Driver fills the TLV data
and responds back to MFW.
This patch series adds qed/qede/qedf/qedi driver implementation for
supporting the TLV queries from MFW.
Changes from previous versions:
-------------------------------
v2: Split patch (2) into multiple simpler patches.
v2: Update qed_tlv_parsed_buf->p_val datatype to void pointer to avoid
bunch of unnecessary typecasts.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-05-22
This series contains updates to i40e only.
Jake provides all the changes in this series starting with making it
consistent in how we approach the bit lock. Fixed the reporting of the
VEB statistics and the queue statistics to always return every queue
even if it is not currently in use. Use WARN_ONCE() so that the first
time we end up with an incorrect size we will dump a stack trace and a
message to help highlight the issue early in testing. Folded the fixed
string prefix into the stat string definition. Instead of using a
separate char *p pointer when copying strings, use the data pointer
directly. Added code comments for several of the statistic functions to
better explain the number and ordering of statistics.

tcp: reduce quickack pressure for ECN
Small patch series changing TCP behavior vs quickack and ECN
First patch is a refactoring, adding parameter to tcp_incr_quickack()
and tcp_enter_quickack_mode() helpers.
Second patch implements the change, lowering number of ACK packets
sent after an ECN event.

ECN signals currently forces TCP to enter quickack mode for
up to 16 (TCP_MAX_QUICKACKS) following incoming packets.
We believe this is not needed, and only sending one immediate ack
for the current packet should be enough.
This should reduce the extra load noticed in DCTCP environments,
after congestion events.
This is part 2 of our effort to reduce pure ACK packets.

We want to add finer control of the number of ACK packets sent after
ECN events.
This patch is not changing current behavior, it only enables following
change.
