bpf: Add link-based BPF program attachment to network namespace

2020-06-01T22:21:03+00:00

Extend bpf() syscall subcommands that operate on bpf_link, that is
LINK_CREATE, LINK_UPDATE, OBJ_GET_INFO, to accept attach types tied to
network namespaces (only flow dissector at the moment).

Link-based and prog-based attachment can be used interchangeably, but only
one can exist at a time. Attempts to attach a link when a prog is already
attached directly, and the other way around, will be met with -EEXIST.
Attempts to detach a program when link exists result in -EINVAL.

Attachment of multiple links of same attach type to one netns is not
supported with the intention to lift the restriction when a use-case
presents itself. Because of that link create returns -E2BIG when trying to
create another netns link, when one already exists.

Link-based attachments to netns don't keep a netns alive by holding a ref
to it. Instead links get auto-detached from netns when the latter is being
destroyed, using a pernet pre_exit callback.

When auto-detached, link lives in defunct state as long there are open FDs
for it. -ENOLINK is returned if a user tries to update a defunct link.

Because bpf_link to netns doesn't hold a ref to struct net, special care is
taken when releasing, updating, or filling link info. The netns might be
getting torn down when any of these link operations are in progress. That
is why auto-detach and update/release/fill_info are synchronized by the
same mutex. Also, link ops have to always check if auto-detach has not
happened yet and if netns is still alive (refcnt > 0).

net: Introduce netns_bpf for BPF programs attached to netns

2020-06-01T22:21:02+00:00

In order to:

 (1) attach more than one BPF program type to netns, or
 (2) support attaching BPF programs to netns with bpf_link, or
 (3) support multi-prog attach points for netns

we will need to keep more state per netns than a single pointer like we
have now for BPF flow dissector program.

Prepare for the above by extracting netns_bpf that is part of struct net,
for storing all state related to BPF programs attached to netns.

Turn flow dissector callbacks for querying/attaching/detaching a program
into generic ones that operate on netns_bpf. Next patch will move the
generic callbacks into their own module.

This is similar to how it is organized for cgroup with cgroup_bpf.

net: ipv4: add sysctl for nexthop api compatibility mode

2020-04-28T19:50:37+00:00

Current route nexthop API maintains user space compatibility
with old route API by default. Dumps and netlink notifications
support both new and old API format. In systems which have
moved to the new API, this compatibility mode cancels some
of the performance benefits provided by the new nexthop API.

This patch adds new sysctl nexthop_compat_mode which is on
by default but provides the ability to turn off compatibility
mode allowing systems to run entirely with the new routing
API. Old route API behaviour and support is not modified by this
sysctl.

Uses a single sysctl to cover both ipv4 and ipv6 following
other sysctls. Covers dumps and delete notifications as
suggested by David Ahern.

mptcp: add and use MIB counter infrastructure

2020-03-30T05:14:49+00:00

Exported via same /proc file as the Linux TCP MIB counters, so "netstat -s"
or "nstat" will show them automatically.

The MPTCP MIB counters are allocated in a distinct pcpu area in order to
avoid bloating/wasting TCP pcpu memory.

Counters are allocated once the first MPTCP socket is created in a
network namespace and free'd on exit.

If no sockets have been allocated, all-zero mptcp counters are shown.

The MIB counter list is taken from the multipath-tcp.org kernel, but
only a few counters have been picked up so far.  The counter list can
be increased at any time later on.

tcp: bind(0) remove the SO_REUSEADDR restriction when ephemeral ports are exhausted.

2020-03-12T19:08:09+00:00

Commit aacd9289af8b82f5fb01bcdd53d0e3406d1333c7 ("tcp: bind() use stronger
condition for bind_conflict") introduced a restriction to forbid to bind
SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same (addr, port) tuple in order to
assign ports dispersedly so that we can connect to the same remote host.

The change results in accelerating port depletion so that we fail to bind
sockets to the same local port even if we want to connect to the different
remote hosts.

You can reproduce this issue by following instructions below.

  1. # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="32768 32768"
  2. set SO_REUSEADDR to two sockets.
  3. bind two sockets to (localhost, 0) and the latter fails.

Therefore, when ephemeral ports are exhausted, bind(0) should fallback to
the legacy behaviour to enable the SO_REUSEADDR option and make it possible
to connect to different remote (addr, port) tuples.

This patch allows us to bind SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same
(addr, port) only when net.ipv4.ip_autobind_reuse is set 1 and all
ephemeral ports are exhausted. This also allows connect() and listen() to
share ports in the following way and may break some applications. So the
ip_autobind_reuse is 0 by default and disables the feature.

  1. setsockopt(sk1, SO_REUSEADDR)
  2. setsockopt(sk2, SO_REUSEADDR)
  3. bind(sk1, saddr, 0)
  4. bind(sk2, saddr, 0)
  5. connect(sk1, daddr)
  6. listen(sk2)

If it is set 1, we can fully utilize the 4-tuples, but we should use
IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT for bind()+connect() as possible.

The notable thing is that if all sockets bound to the same port have
both SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT enabled, we can bind sockets to an
ephemeral port and also do listen().

netfilter: nf_tables: autoload modules from the abort path

2020-01-24T19:54:29+00:00

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module
list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module
name and one status field that tells if the module has been already
loaded (the 'done' field).

In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds
that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is
allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns
-EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on
from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters
the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from
the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs
over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when
object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the
transaction) and the commit list is empty.

On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried
to load the module, so it does not request it again and
nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the
object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully
loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object
in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace.

This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the
abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

net-tcp: Disable TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default

2019-12-10T04:17:48+00:00

This patch introduces a sysctl knob "net.ipv4.tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save"
that disables TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default. Other parts of TCP
metrics cache, e.g. rtt, cwnd, remain unchanged.

As modern networks becoming more and more dynamic, TCP metrics cache
today often causes more harm than benefits. For example, the same IP
address is often shared by different subscribers behind NAT in residential
networks. Even if the IP address is not shared by different users,
caching the slow-start threshold of a previous short flow using loss-based
congestion control (e.g. cubic) often causes the future longer flows of
the same network path to exit slow-start prematurely with abysmal
throughput.

Caching ssthresh is very risky and can lead to terrible performance.
Therefore it makes sense to make disabling ssthresh caching by
default and opt-in for specific networks by the administrators.
This practice also has worked well for several years of deployment with
CUBIC congestion control at Google.
