2017-11-11net: ipv6: sysctl to specify IPv6 ND traffic classMaciej Żenczykowski
Add a per-device sysctl to specify the default traffic class to use for kernel originated IPv6 Neighbour Discovery packets. Currently this includes: - Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133) ndisc_send_rs() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135) ndisc_send_ns() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136) ndisc_send_na() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Redirect (ICMPv6 type 137) ndisc_send_redirect() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() and if the kernel ever gets around to generating RA's, it would presumably also include: - Router Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 134) (radvd daemon could pick up on the kernel setting and use it) Interface drivers may examine the Traffic Class value and translate the DiffServ Code Point into a link-layer appropriate traffic prioritization scheme. An example of mapping IETF DSCP values to IEEE 802.11 User Priority values can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11 The expected primary use case is to properly prioritize ND over wifi.

2017-11-05tcp: higher throughput under reordering with adaptive RACK reordering wndPriyaranjan Jha
Currently TCP RACK loss detection does not work well if packets are being reordered beyond its static reordering window (min_rtt/4).Under such reordering it may falsely trigger loss recoveries and reduce TCP throughput significantly. This patch improves that by increasing and reducing the reordering window based on DSACK, which is now supported in major TCP implementations. It makes RACK's reo_wnd adaptive based on DSACK and no. of recoveries. - If DSACK is received, increment reo_wnd by min_rtt/4 (upper bounded by srtt), since there is possibility that spurious retransmission was due to reordering delay longer than reo_wnd. - Persist the current reo_wnd value for TCP_RACK_RECOVERY_THRESH (16) no. of successful recoveries (accounts for full DSACK-based loss recovery undo). After that, reset it to default (min_rtt/4). - At max, reo_wnd is incremented only once per rtt. So that the new DSACK on which we are reacting, is due to the spurious retx (approx) after the reo_wnd has been updated last time. - reo_wnd is tracked in terms of steps (of min_rtt/4), rather than absolute value to account for change in rtt. In our internal testing, we observed significant increase in throughput, in scenarios where reordering exceeds min_rtt/4 (previous static value).

2017-11-03ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination optionsTom Herbert
RFC 8200 (IPv6) defines Hop-by-Hop options and Destination options extension headers. Both of these carry a list of TLVs which is only limited by the maximum length of the extension header (2048 bytes). By the spec a host must process all the TLVs in these options, however these could be used as a fairly obvious denial of service attack. I think this could in fact be a significant DOS vector on the Internet, one mitigating factor might be that many FWs drop all packets with EH (and obviously this is only IPv6) so an Internet wide attack might not be so effective (yet!). By my calculation, the worse case packet with TLVs in a standard 1500 byte MTU packet that would be processed by the stack contains 1282 invidual TLVs (including pad TLVS) or 724 two byte TLVs. I wrote a quick test program that floods a whole bunch of these packets to a host and sure enough there is substantial time spent in ip6_parse_tlv. These packets contain nothing but unknown TLVS (that are ignored), TLV padding, and bogus UDP header with zero payload length. 25.38% [kernel] [k] __fib6_clean_all 21.63% [kernel] [k] ip6_parse_tlv 4.21% [kernel] [k] __local_bh_enable_ip 2.18% [kernel] [k] ip6_pol_route.isra.39 1.98% [kernel] [k] fib6_walk_continue 1.88% [kernel] [k] _raw_write_lock_bh 1.65% [kernel] [k] dst_release This patch adds configurable limits to Destination and Hop-by-Hop options. There are three limits that may be set: - Limit the number of options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. - Limit the byte length of a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. - Disallow unrecognized options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. The limits are set in corresponding sysctls: ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_len ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_len If a max_*_opts_cnt is less than zero then unknown TLVs are disallowed. The number of known TLVs that are allowed is the absolute value of this number. If a limit is exceeded when processing an extension header the packet is dropped. Default values are set to 8 for options counts, and set to INT_MAX for maximum length. Note the choice to limit options to 8 is an arbitrary guess (roughly based on the fact that the stack supports three HBH options and just one destination option). These limits have being proposed in draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis. Tested (by Martin Lau) I tested out 1 thread (i.e. one raw_udp process). I changed the net.ipv6.max_dst_(opts|hbh)_number between 8 to 2048. With sysctls setting to 2048, the softirq% is packed to 100%. With 8, the softirq% is almost unnoticable from mpstat. v2; - Code and documention cleanup. - Change references of RFC2460 to be RFC8200. - Add reference to RFC6434-bis where the limits will be in standard.

2017-10-29ipvlan: implement VEPA modeMahesh Bandewar
This is very similar to the Macvlan VEPA mode, however, there is some difference. IPvlan uses the mac-address of the lower device, so the VEPA mode has implications of ICMP-redirects for packets destined for its immediate neighbors sharing same master since the packets will have same source and dest mac. The external switch/router will send redirect msg. Having said that, this will be useful tool in terms of debugging since IPvlan will not switch packets within its slaves and rely completely on the external entity as intended in 802.1Qbg.

2017-10-29ipvlan: introduce 'private' attribute for all existing modes.Mahesh Bandewar
IPvlan has always operated in bridge mode. However there are scenarios where each slave should be able to talk through the master device but not necessarily across each other. Think of an environment where each of a namespace is a private and independant customer. In this scenario the machine which is hosting these namespaces neither want to tell who their neighbor is nor the individual namespaces care to talk to neighbor on short-circuited network path. This patch implements the mode that is very similar to the 'private' mode in macvlan where individual slaves can send and receive traffic through the master device, just that they can not talk among slave devices.

2017-10-18rxrpc: Use MSG_WAITALL to tell sendmsg() to temporarily ignore signalsDavid Howells
Make AF_RXRPC accept MSG_WAITALL as a flag to sendmsg() to tell it to ignore signals whilst loading up the message queue, provided progress is being made in emptying the queue at the other side. Progress is defined as the base of the transmit window having being advanced within 2 RTT periods. If the period is exceeded with no progress, sendmsg() will return anyway, indicating how much data has been copied, if any. Once the supplied buffer is entirely decanted, the sendmsg() will return.

2017-10-18rxrpc: Provide functions for allowing cleaner handling of signalsDavid Howells
Provide a couple of functions to allow cleaner handling of signals in a kernel service. They are: (1) rxrpc_kernel_get_rtt() This allows the kernel service to find out the RTT time for a call, so as to better judge how large a timeout to employ. Note, though, that whilst this returns a value in nanoseconds, the timeouts can only actually be in jiffies. (2) rxrpc_kernel_check_life() This returns a number that is updated when ACKs are received from the peer (notably including PING RESPONSE ACKs which we can elicit by sending PING ACKs to see if the call still exists on the server). The caller should compare the numbers of two calls to see if the call is still alive. These can be used to provide an extending timeout rather than returning immediately in the case that a signal occurs that would otherwise abort an RPC operation. The timeout would be extended if the server is still responsive and the call is still apparently alive on the server. For most operations this isn't that necessary - but for FS.StoreData it is: OpenAFS writes the data to storage as it comes in without making a backup, so if we immediately abort it when partially complete on a CTRL+C, say, we have no idea of the state of the file after the abort.

2017-10-18rxrpc: Support service upgrade from a kernel serviceDavid Howells
Provide support for a kernel service to make use of the service upgrade facility. This involves: (1) Pass an upgrade request flag to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(). (2) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service was upgraded to.

2017-10-11cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware fileJohannes Berg
As the current regulatory database is only about 4k big, and already difficult to extend, we decided that overall it would be better to get rid of the complications with CRDA and load the database into the kernel directly, but in a new format that is extensible. The new file format can be extended since it carries a length field on all the structs that need to be extensible. In order to be able to request firmware when the module initializes, move cfg80211 from subsys_initcall() to the later fs_initcall(); the firmware loader is at the same level but linked earlier, so it can be called from there. Otherwise, when both the firmware loader and cfg80211 are built-in, the request will crash the kernel. We also need to be before device_initcall() so that cfg80211 is available for devices when they initialize. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Currently, writing into net.ipv6.conf.all.{accept_dad,use_optimistic,optimistic_dad} has no effect. Fix handling of these flags by: - using the maximum of global and per-interface values for the accept_dad flag. That is, if at least one of the two values is non-zero, enable DAD on the interface. If at least one value is set to 2, enable DAD and disable IPv6 operation on the interface if MAC-based link-local address was found - using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the optimistic_dad flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic duplicate address detection (RFC 4429) is enabled on the interface - using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the use_optimistic flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic addresses won't be marked as deprecated during source address selection on the interface. While at it, as we're modifying the prototype for ipv6_use_optimistic_addr(), drop inline, and let the compiler decide.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree. Basically, updates to the conntrack core, enhancements for nf_tables, conversion of netfilter hooks from linked list to array to improve memory locality and asorted improvements for the Netfilter codebase. More specifically, they are: 1) Add expection to hashes after timer initialization to prevent access from another CPU that walks on the hashes and calls del_timer(), from Florian Westphal. 2) Don't update nf_tables chain counters from hot path, this is only used by the x_tables compatibility layer. 3) Get rid of nested rcu_read_lock() calls from netfilter hook path. Hooks are always guaranteed to run from rcu read side, so remove nested rcu_read_lock() where possible. Patch from Taehee Yoo. 4) nf_tables new ruleset generation notifications include PID and name of the process that has updated the ruleset, from Phil Sutter. 5) Use skb_header_pointer() from nft_fib, so we can reuse this code from the nf_family netdev family. Patch from Pablo M. Bermudo. 6) Add support for nft_fib in nf_tables netdev family, also from Pablo. 7) Use deferrable workqueue for conntrack garbage collection, to reduce power consumption, from Patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. 8) Add nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() helper and use it. From Florian Westphal. 9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian. 10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via nfqueue, from Florian. 11) Don't queue packets to nfqueue with dying conntrack, from Florian. 12) Constify nf_hook_ops structure, from Florian. 13) Remove neededlessly branch in nf_tables trace code, from Phil Sutter. 14) Add nla_strdup(), from Phil Sutter. 15) Rise nf_tables objects name size up to 255 chars, people want to use DNS names, so increase this according to what RFC 1035 specifies. Patch series from Phil Sutter. 16) Kill nf_conntrack_default_on, it's broken. Default on conntrack hook registration on demand, suggested by Eric Dumazet, patch from Florian. 17) Remove unused variables in compat_copy_entry_from_user both in ip_tables and arp_tables code. Patch from Taehee Yoo. 18) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l4proto, from Julia Lawall. 19) Constify nf_loginfo structure, also from Julia. 20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo. 21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo. 22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang. 23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian. 24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length. 25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers. 26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile time, from Florian. 27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure. From Florian. 28) Remove holes in nf_conntrack_l4proto structure, so it becomes smaller. From Florian. 29) Get rid of print_tuple() indirection for /proc conntrack listing. Place all the code in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c. Patch from Florian. 30) Do not built in print_conntrack() if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is off. From Florian. 31) Constify most nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto helper functions, from Florian. 32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King. 33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian. 34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add some instrumentation to debug this. 35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once per batch, from Florian. 36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian. 37) Get rid of obsolete NFDEBUG() instrumentation, from Varsha Rao. 38) Remove unused code in the generic protocol tracker, from Davide Caratti. I think I will have material for a second Netfilter batch in my queue if time allow to make it fit in this merge window. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-08-29neigh: increase queue_len_bytes to match wmem_defaultEric Dumazet
Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the too small neigh limit. Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default (~212992 bytes on 64bit arches). Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more packets to be queued, at least for one producer. Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retriedDavid Howells
Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1. This allows an operation to be submitted to another server or another address for the same server without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed. Two new functions are provided: (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it should be retried. (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a new address. The new address need not match the previous address. A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet; a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when an error condition was detected. msg_data_left() can be used to find out how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Add notification of end-of-Tx phaseDavid Howells
Add a callback to rxrpc_kernel_send_data() so that a kernel service can get a notification that the AF_RXRPC call has transitioned out the Tx phase and is now waiting for a reply or a final ACK. This is called from AF_RXRPC with the call state lock held so the notification is guaranteed to come before any reply is passed back. Further, modify the AFS filesystem to make use of this so that we don't have to change the afs_call state before sending the last bit of data. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-08-24strparser: initialize all callbacksEric Biggers
commit bbb03029a899 ("strparser: Generalize strparser") added more function pointers to 'struct strp_callbacks'; however, kcm_attach() was not updated to initialize them. This could cause the ->lock() and/or ->unlock() function pointers to be set to garbage values, causing a crash in strp_work(). Fix the bug by moving the callback structs into static memory, so unspecified members are zeroed. Also constify them while we're at it. This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat: IP: 0x55 PGD 3b1ca067 P4D 3b1ca067 PUD 3b12f067 PMD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP KASAN Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1194 Comm: kworker/u8:1 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc4-next-20170811 #2 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: kstrp strp_work task: ffff88006bb0e480 task.stack: ffff88006bb10000 RIP: 0010:0x55 RSP: 0018:ffff88006bb17540 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff88006ce4bd60 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 1ffff1000d9c97bd RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88006ce4bc48 RBP: ffff88006bb17558 R08: ffffffff81467ab2 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88006bb17438 R11: ffff88006bb17940 R12: ffff88006ce4bc48 R13: ffff88003c683018 R14: ffff88006bb17980 R15: ffff88003c683000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88006de00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000055 CR3: 000000003c145000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: process_one_work+0xbf3/0x1bc0 kernel/workqueue.c:2098 worker_thread+0x223/0x1860 kernel/workqueue.c:2233 kthread+0x35e/0x430 kernel/kthread.c:231 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:431 Code: Bad RIP value.

2017-08-24ipv6: Add sysctl for per namespace flow label reflectionJakub Sitnicki
Reflecting IPv6 Flow Label at server nodes is useful in environments that employ multipath routing to load balance the requests. As "IPv6 Flow Label Reflection" standard draft [1] points out - ICMPv6 PTB error messages generated in response to a downstream packets from the server can be routed by a load balancer back to the original server without looking at transport headers, if the server applies the flow label reflection. This enables the Path MTU Discovery past the ECMP router in load-balance or anycast environments where each server node is reachable by only one path. Introduce a sysctl to enable flow label reflection per net namespace for all newly created sockets. Same could be earlier achieved only per socket by setting the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag for the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR socket option.
