2016-04-28tcp: Make use of MSG_EOR in tcp_sendmsgMartin KaFai Lau
This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB. When MSG_EOR is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb containing the last byte of the userland's msg. The eor bit will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future. The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call. This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case. The followup patches will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases. One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

2016-04-28tcp: remove SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP since it is redundantSoheil Hassas Yeganeh
The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant. Remove the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP and instead use the txstamp_ack bit everywhere. Note that this frees one bit in shinfo->tx_flags.

Remove the redundant check for sk->sk_tsflags in tcp_tx_timestamp. tcp_tx_timestamp() receives the tsflags as a parameter. As a result the "sk->sk_tsflags || tsflags" is redundant, since tsflags already includes sk->sk_tsflags plus overrides from control messages.

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(), UDP_INC_STATS_USER(), UDP6_INC_STATS_USER(), and XFRM_INC_STATS_USER() Following patches will rename __BH helpers to make clear their usage is not tied to BH being disabled.

2016-04-24tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit timeEric Dumazet
Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits. This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their bugs, but we believe the dark age is over. Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal has a lot of benefits. - Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs - Less cpu overhead at ACK processing. - Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how awful linux was at this ;) - Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets (IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...) - Better latencies in presence of losses. - Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits are not constrained by TCP Small Queues. 1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this translates to ~80,000 losses per second. Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already under stress.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree, mostly from Florian Westphal to sort out the lack of sufficient validation in x_tables and connlabel preparation patches to add nf_tables support. They are: 1) Ensure we don't go over the ruleset blob boundaries in mark_source_chains(). 2) Validate that target jumps land on an existing xt_entry. This extra sanitization comes with a performance penalty when loading the ruleset. 3) Introduce xt_check_entry_offsets() and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables. 4) Get rid of the smallish check_entry() functions in {arp,ip,ip6}tables. 5) Make sure the minimal possible target size in x_tables. 6) Similar to #3, add xt_compat_check_entry_offsets() for compat code. 7) Check that standard target size is valid. 8) More sanitization to ensure that the target_offset field is correct. 9) Add xt_check_entry_match() to validate that matches are well-formed. 10-12) Three patch to reduce the number of parameters in translate_compat_table() for {arp,ip,ip6}tables by using a container structure. 13) No need to return value from xt_compat_match_from_user(), so make it void. 14) Consolidate translate_table() so it can be used by compat code too. 15) Remove obsolete check for compat code, so we keep consistent with what was already removed in the native layout code (back in 2007). 16) Get rid of target jump validation from mark_source_chains(), obsoleted by #2. 17) Introduce xt_copy_counters_from_user() to consolidate counter copying, and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables. 18,22) Get rid of unnecessary explicit inlining in ctnetlink for dump functions. 19) Move nf_connlabel_match() to xt_connlabel. 20) Skip event notification if connlabel did not change. 21) Update of nf_connlabels_get() to make the upcoming nft connlabel support easier. 23) Remove spinlock to read protocol state field in conntrack. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-04-21tcp: Fix SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK when handling dup acksMartin KaFai Lau
Assuming SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is on. When dup acks are received, it could incorrectly think that a skb has already been acked and queue a SCM_TSTAMP_ACK cmsg to the sk->sk_error_queue. In tcp_ack_tstamp(), it checks 'between(shinfo->tskey, prior_snd_una, tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una - 1)'. If prior_snd_una == tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una like the following packetdrill script, between() returns true but the tskey is actually not acked. e.g. try between(3, 2, 1). The fix is to replace between() with one before() and one !before(). By doing this, the -1 offset on the tcp_sk(sk)->snd_una can also be removed. A packetdrill script is used to reproduce the dup ack scenario. Due to the lacking cmsg support in packetdrill (may be I cannot find it), a BPF prog is used to kprobe to sock_queue_err_skb() and print out the value of serr->ee.ee_data. Both the packetdrill and the bcc BPF script is attached at the end of this commit message.

2016-04-14soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 socketsCraig Gallek
With the SO_REUSEPORT socket option, it is possible to create sockets in the AF_INET and AF_INET6 domains which are bound to the same IPv4 address. This is only possible with SO_REUSEPORT and when not using IPV6_V6ONLY on the AF_INET6 sockets. Prior to the commits referenced below, an incoming IPv4 packet would always be routed to a socket of type AF_INET when this mixed-mode was used. After those changes, the same packet would be routed to the most recently bound socket (if this happened to be an AF_INET6 socket, it would have an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address). The change in behavior occurred because the recent SO_REUSEPORT optimizations short-circuit the socket scoring logic as soon as they find a match. They did not take into account the scoring logic that favors AF_INET sockets over AF_INET6 sockets in the event of a tie. To fix this problem, this patch changes the insertion order of AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses in the TCP and UDP socket lists when the sockets have SO_REUSEPORT set. AF_INET sockets will be inserted at the head of the list and AF_INET6 sockets with SO_REUSEPORT set will always be inserted at the tail of the list. This will force AF_INET sockets to always be considered first.

2016-04-14GSO: Support partial segmentation offloadAlexander Duyck
This patch adds support for something I am referring to as GSO partial. The basic idea is that we can support a broader range of devices for segmentation if we use fixed outer headers and have the hardware only really deal with segmenting the inner header. The idea behind the naming is due to the fact that everything before csum_start will be fixed headers, and everything after will be the region that is handled by hardware. With the current implementation it allows us to add support for the following GSO types with an inner TSO_MANGLEID or TSO6 offload: NETIF_F_GSO_GRE NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM NETIF_F_GSO_IPIP NETIF_F_GSO_SIT NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM In the case of hardware that already supports tunneling we may be able to extend this further to support TSO_TCPV4 without TSO_MANGLEID if the hardware can support updating inner IPv4 headers.

2016-04-14GRO: Add support for TCP with fixed IPv4 ID field, limit tunnel IP ID valuesAlexander Duyck
This patch does two things. First it allows TCP to aggregate TCP frames with a fixed IPv4 ID field. As a result we should now be able to aggregate flows that were converted from IPv6 to IPv4. In addition this allows us more flexibility for future implementations of segmentation as we may be able to use a fixed IP ID when segmenting the flow. The second thing this does is that it places limitations on the outer IPv4 ID header in the case of tunneled frames. Specifically it forces the IP ID to be incrementing by 1 unless the DF bit is set in the outer IPv4 header. This way we can avoid creating overlapping series of IP IDs that could possibly be fragmented if the frame goes through GRO and is then resegmented via GSO.

2016-04-14GSO: Add GSO type for fixed IPv4 IDAlexander Duyck
This patch adds support for TSO using IPv4 headers with a fixed IP ID field. This is meant to allow us to do a lossless GRO in the case of TCP flows that use a fixed IP ID such as those that convert IPv6 header to IPv4 headers. In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with IP ID mangling. Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was. This is useful in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID value is maintained. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-04-13route: do not cache fib route info on local routes with oifChris Friesen
For local routes that require a particular output interface we do not want to cache the result. Caching the result causes incorrect behaviour when there are multiple source addresses on the interface. The end result being that if the intended recipient is waiting on that interface for the packet he won't receive it because it will be delivered on the loopback interface and the IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifindex will be set to the loopback interface as well. This can be tested by running a program such as "dhcp_release" which attempts to inject a packet on a particular interface so that it is received by another program on the same board. The receiving process should see an IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifndex value of the source interface (e.g., eth1) instead of the loopback interface (e.g., lo). The packet will still appear on the loopback interface in tcpdump but the important aspect is that the CMSG info is correct.

2016-04-14netfilter: x_tables: do compat validation via translate_tableFlorian Westphal
This looks like refactoring, but its also a bug fix. Problem is that the compat path (32bit iptables, 64bit kernel) lacks a few sanity tests that are done in the normal path. For example, we do not check for underflows and the base chain policies. While its possible to also add such checks to the compat path, its more copy&pastry, for instance we cannot reuse check_underflow() helper as e->target_offset differs in the compat case. Other problem is that it makes auditing for validation errors harder; two places need to be checked and kept in sync. At a high level 32 bit compat works like this: 1- initial pass over blob: validate match/entry offsets, bounds checking lookup all matches and targets do bookkeeping wrt. size delta of 32/64bit structures assign match/target.u.kernel pointer (points at kernel implementation, needed to access ->compatsize etc.) 2- allocate memory according to the total bookkeeping size to contain the translated ruleset 3- second pass over original blob: for each entry, copy the 32bit representation to the newly allocated memory. This also does any special match translations (e.g. adjust 32bit to 64bit longs, etc). 4- check if ruleset is free of loops (chase all jumps) 5-first pass over translated blob: call the checkentry function of all matches and targets. The alternative implemented by this patch is to drop steps 3&4 from the compat process, the translation is changed into an intermediate step rather than a full 1:1 translate_table replacement. In the 2nd pass (step #3), change the 64bit ruleset back to a kernel representation, i.e. put() the kernel pointer and restore ->u.user.name . This gets us a 64bit ruleset that is in the format generated by a 64bit iptables userspace -- we can then use translate_table() to get the 'native' sanity checks. This has two drawbacks: 1. we re-validate all the match and target entry structure sizes even though compat translation is supposed to never generate bogus offsets. 2. we put and then re-lookup each match and target. THe upside is that we get all sanity tests and ruleset validations provided by the normal path and can remove some duplicated compat code. iptables-restore time of autogenerated ruleset with 300k chains of form -A CHAIN0001 -m limit --limit 1/s -j CHAIN0002 -A CHAIN0002 -m limit --limit 1/s -j CHAIN0003 shows no noticeable differences in restore times: old: 0m30.796s new: 0m31.521s 64bit: 0m25.674s Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
