In conjunction with crypto offload [1], removing the ESP trailer by
hardware can potentially improve the performance by avoiding (1) a
cache miss incurred by reading the nexthdr field and (2) the necessity
to calculate the csum value of the trailer in order to keep skb->csum
valid.
This patch introduces the changes to the xfrm stack and merely serves
as an infrastructure. Subsequent patch to mlx5 driver will put this to
a good use.

On systems that use mark-based routing it may be necessary for
routing lookups to use marks in order for packets to be routed
correctly. An example of such a system is Android, which uses
socket marks to route packets via different networks.
Currently, routing lookups in tunnel mode always use a mark of
zero, making routing incorrect on such systems.
This patch adds a new output_mark element to the xfrm state and
a corresponding XFRMA_OUTPUT_MARK netlink attribute. The output
mark differs from the existing xfrm mark in two ways:
1. The xfrm mark is used to match xfrm policies and states, while
the xfrm output mark is used to set the mark (and influence
the routing) of the packets emitted by those states.
2. The existing mark is constrained to be a subset of the bits of
the originating socket or transformed packet, but the output
mark is arbitrary and depends only on the state.
The use of a separate mark provides additional flexibility. For
example:
- A packet subject to two transforms (e.g., transport mode inside
tunnel mode) can have two different output marks applied to it,
one for the transport mode SA and one for the tunnel mode SA.
- On a system where socket marks determine routing, the packets
emitted by an IPsec tunnel can be routed based on a mark that
is determined by the tunnel, not by the marks of the
unencrypted packets.
- Support for setting the output marks can be introduced without
breaking any existing setups that employ both mark-based
routing and xfrm tunnel mode. Simply changing the code to use
the xfrm mark for routing output packets could xfrm mark could
change behaviour in a way that breaks these setups.
If the output mark is unspecified or set to zero, the mark is not
set or changed.

IPSec crypto offload depends on the protocol-specific
offload module (such as esp_offload.ko).
When the user installs an SA with crypto-offload, load
the offload module automatically, in the same way
that the protocol module is loaded (such as esp.ko)

retain last used xfrm_dst in a pcpu cache.
On next request, reuse this dst if the policies are the same.
The cache will not help with strict RR workloads as there is no hit.
The cache packet-path part is reasonably small, the notifier part is
needed so we do not add long hangs when a device is dismantled but some
pcpu xdst still holds a reference, there are also calls to the flush
operation when userspace deletes SAs so modules can be removed
(there is no hit.
We need to run the dst_release on the correct cpu to avoid races with
packet path. This is done by adding a work_struct for each cpu and then
doing the actual test/release on each affected cpu via schedule_work_on().

In commit d77e38e612a0 ("xfrm: Add an IPsec hardware offloading API") we
make xfrm_device.o only compiled when enable option CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD.
But this will make xfrm_dev_event() missing if we only enable default XFRM

Then if we set down and unregister an interface with IPsec on it. there
will no xfrm_garbage_collect(), which will cause dev usage count hold and
get error like:

When CONFIG_XFRM_SUB_POLICY=y, xfrm_dst stores a copy of the flowi for
that dst. Unfortunately, the code that allocates and fills this copy
doesn't care about what type of flowi (flowi, flowi4, flowi6) gets
passed. In multiple code paths (from raw_sendmsg, from TCP when
replying to a FIN, in vxlan, geneve, and gre), the flowi that gets
passed to xfrm is actually an on-stack flowi4, so we end up reading
stuff from the stack past the end of the flowi4 struct.
Since xfrm_dst->origin isn't used anywhere following commit
ca116922afa8 ("xfrm: Eliminate "fl" and "pol" args to
xfrm_bundle_ok()."), just get rid of it. xfrm_dst->partner isn't used
either, so get rid of that too.

When we do IPsec offloading, we need a fallback for
packets that were targeted to be IPsec offloaded but
rerouted to a device that does not support IPsec offload.
For that we add a function that checks the offloading
features of the sending device and and flags the
requirement of a fallback before it calls the IPsec
output function. The IPsec output function adds the IPsec
trailer and does encryption if needed.

Current addr4_match() code has special test for /0 prefixes because of
standard required undefined behaviour. However, it is possible to omit
it on 64-bit because shifting can be done within a 64-bit register and
then truncated to the expected value (which is 0 mask).
Implicit truncation by htonl() fits nicely into R32-within-R64 model
on x86-64.

In case the GRO layer detects an ESP packet, the

This patch tries to avoid skb_cow_data on esp4.
On the encrypt side we add the IPsec tailbits
to the linear part of the buffer if there is
space on it. If there is no space on the linear
part, we add a page fragment with the tailbits to
the buffer and use separate src and dst scatterlists.
On the decrypt side, we leave the buffer as it is
if it is not cloned.
With this, we can avoid a linearization of the buffer
in most of the cases.

In the old days (before linux-3.0), SNMP counters were duplicated,
one for user context, and one for BH context.
After commit 8f0ea0fe3a03 ("snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%")
we have a single copy, and what really matters is preemption being
enabled or disabled, since we use this_cpu_inc() or __this_cpu_inc()
respectively.
We therefore kill SNMP_INC_STATS_USER(), SNMP_ADD_STATS_USER(),
NET_INC_STATS_USER(), NET_ADD_STATS_USER(), SCTP_INC_STATS_USER(),
SNMP_INC_STATS64_USER(), SNMP_ADD_STATS64_USER(), TCP_ADD_STATS_USER(),

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.
And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.
We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.
The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

Having to say
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.
Instead it is possible to say:
> typedef struct {
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
> } possible_net_t;
And then in a header say:
> possible_net_t net;
Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.
Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.
This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

Enable to specify local and remote prefix length thresholds for the
policy hash table via a netlink XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message.
prefix length thresholds are specified by XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH optional attributes (struct xfrmu_spdhthresh).
example:
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh4 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 24;
};
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh6 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 56;
};
struct nlmsghdr *hdr;
struct nl_msg *msg;
msg = nlmsg_alloc();
hdr = nlmsg_put(msg, NL_AUTO_PORT, NL_AUTO_SEQ, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(__u32), NLM_F_REQUEST);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh4), &thresh4);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh6), &thresh6);
nla_send_auto(sk, msg);
The numbers are the policy selector minimum prefix lengths to put a
policy in the hash table.
- lbits is the local threshold (source address for out policies,
destination address for in and fwd policies).
- rbits is the remote threshold (destination address for out
policies, source address for in and fwd policies).
The default values are:
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH: 32 32
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH: 128 128
Dynamic re-building of the SPD is performed when the thresholds values
are changed.
The current thresholds can be read via a XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO request:
the kernel replies to XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO requests by an
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message, with both attributes
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH.
