====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next,
they are:
1) Don't use userspace datatypes in bridge netfilter code, from
Tobin Harding.
2) Iterate only once over the expectation table when removing the
helper module, instead of once per-netns, from Florian Westphal.
3) Extra sanitization in xt_hook_ops_alloc() to return error in case
we ever pass zero hooks, xt_hook_ops_alloc():
4) Handle NFPROTO_INET from the logging core infrastructure, from
Liping Zhang.
5) Autoload loggers when TRACE target is used from rules, this doesn't
change the behaviour in case the user already selected nfnetlink_log
as preferred way to print tracing logs, also from Liping Zhang.
6) Conntrack slabs with SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN to allow rearranging fields
by cache lines, increases the size of entries in 11% per entry.
From Florian Westphal.
7) Skip zone comparison if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES=n, from Florian.
8) Remove useless defensive check in nf_logger_find_get() from Shivani
Bhardwaj.
9) Remove zone extension as place it in the conntrack object, this is
always include in the hashing and we expect more intensive use of
zones since containers are in place. Also from Florian Westphal.
10) Owner match now works from any namespace, from Eric Bierdeman.
11) Make sure we only reply with TCP reset to TCP traffic from
nf_reject_ipv4, patch from Liping Zhang.
12) Introduce --nflog-size to indicate amount of network packet bytes
that are copied to userspace via log message, from Vishwanath Pai.
This obsoletes --nflog-range that has never worked, it was designed
to achieve this but it has never worked.
13) Introduce generic macros for nf_tables object generation masks.
14) Use generation mask in table, chain and set objects in nf_tables.
This allows fixes interferences with ongoing preparation phase of
the commit protocol and object listings going on at the same time.
This update is introduced in three patches, one per object.
15) Check if the object is active in the next generation for element
deactivation in the rbtree implementation, given that deactivation
happens from the commit phase path we have to observe the future
status of the object.
16) Support for deletion of just added elements in the hash set type.
17) Allow to resize hashtable from /proc entry, not only from the
obscure /sys entry that maps to the module parameter, from Florian
Westphal.
18) Get rid of NFT_BASECHAIN_DISABLED, this code is not exercised
anymore since we tear down the ruleset whenever the netdevice
goes away.
19) Support for matching inverted set lookups, from Arturo Borrero.
20) Simplify the iptables_mangle_hook() by removing a superfluous
extra branch.
21) Introduce ether_addr_equal_masked() and use it from the netfilter
codebase, from Joe Perches.
22) Remove references to "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key"
from the Netfilter Kconfig description given that this toggle
doesn't exists already for 10 years, from Moritz Sichert.
23) Introduce generic NF_INVF() and use it from the xtables codebase,
from Joe Perches.
24) Setting logger to NONE via /proc was not working unless explicit
nul-termination was included in the string. This fixes seems to
leave the former behaviour there, so we don't break backward.

The 3.xx and 4.xx synopsys gmacs have a very similar
PCS embedded module and they share almost the same registers:
for example:
AN_Control, AN_Status, AN_Advertisement, AN_Link_Partner_Ability,
AN_Expansion, TBI_Extended_Status.
Just the RGMII/SMII Control/Status register differs.
So This patch aims to reorganize and enhance the PCS support.
It removes the existent support from the dwmac1000/dwmac4_core.c
moving basic PCS functions inside a new file called: stmmac_pcs.h.
The patch also reviews the available APIs to be better shared among
different hardware and easily enhanced to support new features.

No need to restrict this to module parameter.
We export a copy of the real hash size -- when user alters the value we
allocate the new table, copy entries etc before we update the real size
to the requested one.
This is also needed because the real size is used by concurrent readers
and cannot be changed without synchronizing the conntrack generation
seqcnt.
We only allow changing this value from the initial net namespace.
Tested using http-client-benchmark vs. httpterm with concurrent
while true;do
echo $RANDOM > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_buckets

Large tc dumps (tc -s {qdisc|class} sh dev ethX) done by Google BwE host
agent [1] are problematic at scale :
For each qdisc/class found in the dump, we currently lock the root qdisc
spinlock in order to get stats. Sampling stats every 5 seconds from
thousands of HTB classes is a challenge when the root qdisc spinlock is
under high pressure. Not only the dumps take time, they also slow
down the fast path (queue/dequeue packets) by 10 % to 20 % in some cases.
An audit of existing qdiscs showed that sch_fq_codel is the only qdisc
that might need the qdisc lock in fq_codel_dump_stats() and
fq_codel_dump_class_stats()
In v2 of this patch, I now use the Qdisc running seqcount to provide
consistent reads of packets/bytes counters, regardless of 32/64 bit arches.
I also changed rate estimators to use the same infrastructure
so that they no longer need to lock root qdisc lock.

Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not
select a hop that is known to be failed.
Example:
[h2] [h3] 15.0.0.5
| |
3| 3|
[SP1] [SP2]--+
1 2 1 2
| | /-------------+ |
| \ / |
| X |
| / \ |
| / \---------------\ |
1 2 1 2
12.0.0.2 [TOR1] 3-----------------3 [TOR2] 12.0.0.3
4 4
\ /
\ /
\ /
-------| |-----/
1 2
[TOR3]
3|
|
[h1] 12.0.0.1
host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5:
root@h1:~# ip ro ls
...
12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1 proto kernel scope link src 12.0.0.1
15.0.0.0/16
nexthop via 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 weight 1
nexthop via 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 weight 1
...
If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1
and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups
in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and
ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the
12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable:
root@h1:~# ip neigh show
...
12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE
12.0.0.2 dev swp1 FAILED
...
The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information
when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no
knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry
then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to
what fib_detect_death does.
To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is
based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured
down, including global, static addresses:
$ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global

inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ ip link set dev eth1 down
$ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
<< nothing; all addresses have been flushed>>
Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to
flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global
addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl
is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces
$ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1
or
$ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1
Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down.

Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05c1 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").
The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.

It is more convenient for them to access the bridge's net_device for

mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues:
- TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via
commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.")
because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink
attribute validation but before message processing.
- RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet
payload to userspace. However, since commit ae08ce0021087a5d812d2
("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy
with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper).
The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket
behave different from normal skbs:
- they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo()
(e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used.
- reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as
it expects message to start at skb->head.
See for instance
commit aa3a022094fa ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump").
- skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we
crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached.
Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359
("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches").
mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper
used by nfqueue and openvswitch. Daniel Borkmann fixed this via
commit 6bb0fef489f6 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue
zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining
length to the allocation function.
nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink:
- mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages.
Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines
the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A
allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot,
but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A
since seqno is decided later. To fix this we would need to extend the
spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which
isn't desirable.
- nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace.
Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation
in the kernel, so this is a desirable option. However, with a mmap based
ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back
to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets.
To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink
support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to
handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.
