2009-03-24netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flagPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.

2009-03-03netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()Pablo Neira Ayuso
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error. Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :). This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-24netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

2009-02-20netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket optionPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast() return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set, netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers should do. This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy. Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).

2009-02-05netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

2009-01-07genetlink: export genl_unregister_mc_group()Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg: genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL(). Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for external consumption. This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc groups.

genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered families: - dump start: genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex netlink_dump_start(), netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a second time - dump continuance: netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this.

2008-01-31[NETNS]: Fix race between put_net() and netlink_kernel_create().Pavel Emelyanov
The comment about "race free view of the set of network namespaces" was a bit hasty. Look (there even can be only one CPU, as discovered by Alexey Dobriyan and Denis Lunev): put_net() if (atomic_dec_and_test(&net->refcnt)) /* true */ __put_net(net); queue_work(...); /* * note: the net now has refcnt 0, but still in * the global list of net namespaces */ == re-schedule == register_pernet_subsys(&some_ops); register_pernet_operations(&some_ops); (*some_ops)->init(net); /* * we call netlink_kernel_create() here * in some places */ netlink_kernel_create(); sk_alloc(); get_net(net); /* refcnt = 1 */ /* * now we drop the net refcount not to * block the net namespace exit in the * future (or this can be done on the * error path) */ put_net(sk->sk_net); if (atomic_dec_and_test(&...)) /* * true. BOOOM! The net is * scheduled for release twice */ When thinking on this problem, I decided, that getting and putting the net in init callback is wrong. If some init callback needs to have a refcount-less reference on the struct net, _it_ has to be careful himself, rather than relying on the infrastructure to handle this correctly. In case of netlink_kernel_create(), the problem is that the sk_alloc() gets the given namespace, but passing the info that we don't want to get it inside this call is too heavy. Instead, I propose to crate the socket inside an init_net namespace and then re-attach it to the desired one right after the socket is created. After doing this, we also have to be careful on error paths not to drop the reference on the namespace, we didn't get the one on.

2008-01-28[NETNS]: Namespace stop vs 'ip r l' race.Denis V. Lunev
During network namespace stop process kernel side netlink sockets belonging to a namespace should be closed. They should not prevent namespace to stop, so they do not increment namespace usage counter. Though this counter will be put during last sock_put. The raplacement of the correct netns for init_ns solves the problem only partial as socket to be stoped until proper stop is a valid netlink kernel socket and can be looked up by the user processes. This is not a problem until it resides in initial namespace (no processes inside this net), but this is not true for init_net. So, hold the referrence for a socket, remove it from lookup tables and only after that change namespace and perform a last put. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
