2015-09-30dccp: use inet6_csk_route_req() helperEric Dumazet2-6/+9
Before changing dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() sock argument to const, we need to get rid of security_sk_classify_flow(), and it seems doable by reusing inet6_csk_route_req() helper. We need to add a proto parameter to inet6_csk_route_req(), not assume it is TCP. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree in this 4.4 development cycle, they are: 1) Schedule ICMP traffic to IPVS instances, this introduces a new schedule_icmp proc knob to enable/disable it. By default is off to retain the old behaviour. Patchset from Alex Gartrell. I'm also including what Alex originally said for the record: "The configuration of ipvs at Facebook is relatively straightforward. All ipvs instances bgp advertise a set of VIPs and the network prefers the nearest one or uses ECMP in the event of a tie. For the uninitiated, ECMP deterministically and statelessly load balances by hashing the packet (usually a 5-tuple of protocol, saddr, daddr, sport, and dport) and using that number as an index (basic hash table type logic). The problem is that ICMP packets (which contain really important information like whether or not an MTU has been exceeded) will get a different hash value and may end up at a different ipvs instance. With no information about where to route these packets, they are dropped, creating ICMP black holes and breaking Path MTU discovery. Suddenly, my mom's pictures can't load and I'm fielding midday calls that I want nothing to do with. To address this, this patch set introduces the ability to schedule icmp packets which is gated by a sysctl net.ipv4.vs.schedule_icmp. If set to 0, the old behavior is maintained -- otherwise ICMP packets are scheduled." 2) Add another proc entry to ignore tunneled packets to avoid routing loops from IPVS, also from Alex. 3) Fifteen patches from Eric Biederman to: * Stop passing nf_hook_ops as parameter to the hook and use the state hook object instead all around the netfilter code, so only the private data pointer is passed to the registered hook function. * Now that we've got state->net, propagate the netns pointer to netfilter hook clients to avoid its computation over and over again. A good example of how this has been simplified is the former TEE target (now nf_dup infrastructure) since it has killed the ugly pick_net() function. There's another round of netns updates from Eric Biederman making the line. To avoid the patchbomb again to almost all the networking mailing list (that is 84 patches) I'd suggest we send you a pull request with no patches or let me know if you prefer a better way. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-22tcp: usec resolution SYN/ACK RTTYuchung Cheng1-1/+1
Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control. This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock. For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled right after the child socket is created and right before the request sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c) For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing the final ACK an right before the request socket is released. If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt(). One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

2015-09-21net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and prohibit routesNikola Forró1-1/+3
Man page of ip-route(8) says following about route types: unreachable - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated. The local senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error. blackhole - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐ carded silently. The local senders get an EINVAL error. prohibit - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the ICMP message communication administratively prohibited is generated. The local senders get an EACCES error. In the inet6 address family, this was correct, except the local senders got ENETUNREACH error instead of EHOSTUNREACH in case of unreachable route. In the inet address family, all three route types generated ICMP message net unreachable, and the local senders got ENETUNREACH error. In both address families all three route types now behave consistently with documentation. Signed-off-by: Nikola Forró <nforro@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-09-18ipv6: ip6_fragment: fix headroom tests and skb leakFlorian Westphal1-6/+8
David Woodhouse reports skb_under_panic when we try to push ethernet header to fragmented ipv6 skbs: skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:c1277f1e len:1294 put:14 head:dec98000 data:dec97ffc tail:0xdec9850a end:0xdec98f40 dev:br-lan [..] ip6_finish_output2+0x196/0x4da David further debugged this: [..] offending fragments were arriving here with skb_headroom(skb)==10. Which is reasonable, being the Solos ADSL card's header of 8 bytes followed by 2 bytes of PPP frame type. The problem is that if netfilter ipv6 defragmentation is used, skb_cow() in ip6_forward will only see reassembled skb. Therefore, headroom is overestimated by 8 bytes (we pulled fragment header) and we don't check the skbs in the frag_list either. We can't do these checks in netfilter defrag since outdev isn't known yet. Furthermore, existing tests in ip6_fragment did not consider the fragment or ipv6 header size when checking headroom of the fraglist skbs. While at it, also fix a skb leak on memory allocation -- ip6_fragment must consume the skb. I tested this e1000 driver hacked to not allocate additional headroom (we end up in slowpath, since LL_RESERVED_SPACE is 16). If 2 bytes of headroom are allocated, fastpath is taken (14 byte ethernet header was pulled, so 16 byte headroom available in all fragments).

2015-09-18tcp: provide skb->hash to synack packetsEric Dumazet1-1/+1
In commit b73c3d0e4f0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets. We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to also use skb->hash to perform slave selection. Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did in commit 265f94ff54d62 ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing advice") for established sockets. This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black holes, even at connection establish phase.

2015-09-18netfilter: Pass net into okfnEric W. Biederman8-14/+13
This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process packets in. As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in many cases a code simplification. To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn just silently drops the struct net. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2015-09-18netfilter: Pass struct net into the netfilter hooksEric W. Biederman10-26/+32
Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to be easily and reliabily. This allows the replacement of magic code like "dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most netfilter hooks with "state->net". In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those paths will not see any changes in practice. The exceptions are: xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb() dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev) ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic "dev_net(in?in:out)".

2015-09-16ipv6: Avoid double dst_freeMartin KaFai Lau3-9/+16
It is a prep work to get dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. The following is a common paradigm: if (ip6_del_rt(rt)) dst_free(rt) which means, if rt cannot be deleted from the fib tree, dst_free(rt) now. 1. We don't know the ip6_del_rt(rt) failure is because it was not managed by fib tree (e.g. DST_NOCACHE) or it had already been removed from the fib tree. 2. If rt had been managed by the fib tree, ip6_del_rt(rt) failure means dst_free(rt) has been called already. A second dst_free(rt) is not always obviously safe. The rt may have been destroyed already. 3. If rt is a DST_NOCACHE, dst_free(rt) should not be called. 4. It is a stopper to make dst freeing from fib tree undergo a rcu grace period. This patch is to use a DST_NOCACHE flag to indicate a rt is not managed by the fib tree. Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-09-16ipv6: Fix dst_entry refcnt bugs in ip6_tunnelMartin KaFai Lau2-46/+114
Problems in the current dst_entry cache in the ip6_tunnel: 1. ip6_tnl_dst_set is racy. There is no lock to protect it: - One major problem is that the dst refcnt gets messed up. F.e. the same dst_cache can be released multiple times and then triggering the infamous dst refcnt < 0 warning message. - Another issue is the inconsistency between dst_cache and dst_cookie. It can be reproduced by adding and removing the ip6gre tunnel while running a super_netperf TCP_CRR test. 2. ip6_tnl_dst_get does not take the dst refcnt before returning the dst. This patch: 1. Create a percpu dst_entry cache in ip6_tnl 2. Use a spinlock to protect the dst_cache operations 3. ip6_tnl_dst_get always takes the dst refcnt before returning Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-16ipv6: Rename the dst_cache helper functions in ip6_tunnelMartin KaFai Lau2-8/+8
It is a prep work to fix the dst_entry refcnt bugs in ip6_tunnel. This patch rename: 1. ip6_tnl_dst_check() to ip6_tnl_dst_get() to better reflect that it will take a dst refcnt in the next patch. 2. ip6_tnl_dst_store() to ip6_tnl_dst_set() to have a more conventional name matching with ip6_tnl_dst_get().
