rtnetlink: add IFLA_GROUP to ifla_policy

2017-07-05T12:37:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit db833d40ad3263b2ee3b59a1ba168bb3cfed8137 ]

Network interface groups support added while ago, however
there is no IFLA_GROUP attribute description in policy
and netlink message size calculations until now.

Add IFLA_GROUP attribute to the policy.

Fix an intermittent pr_emerg warning about lo becoming free.

2017-07-05T12:37:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit f186ce61bb8235d80068c390dc2aad7ca427a4c2 ]

It looks like this:

Message from syslogd@flamingo at Apr 26 00:45:00 ...
 kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 4

They seem to coincide with net namespace teardown.

The message is emitted by netdev_wait_allrefs().

Forced a kdump in netdev_run_todo, but found that the refcount on the lo
device was already 0 at the time we got to the panic.

Used bcc to check the blocking in netdev_run_todo.  The only places
where we're off cpu there are in the rcu_barrier() and msleep() calls.
That behavior is expected.  The msleep time coincides with the amount of
time we spend waiting for the refcount to reach zero; the rcu_barrier()
wait times are not excessive.

After looking through the list of callbacks that the netdevice notifiers
invoke in this path, it appears that the dst_dev_event is the most
interesting.  The dst_ifdown path places a hold on the loopback_dev as
part of releasing the dev associated with the original dst cache entry.
Most of our notifier callbacks are straight-forward, but this one a)
looks complex, and b) places a hold on the network interface in
question.

I constructed a new bcc script that watches various events in the
liftime of a dst cache entry.  Note that dst_ifdown will take a hold on
the loopback device until the invalidated dst entry gets freed.

they'd leak memory to user.

ethtool: do not vzalloc(0) on registers dump

2017-06-17T04:39:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3808d34838184fd29088d6b3a364ba2f1c018fb6 ]

If ->get_regs_len() callback return 0, we allocate 0 bytes of memory,
what print ugly warning in dmesg, which can be found further below.

This happen on mac80211 devices where ieee80211_get_regs_len() just
return 0 and driver only fills ethtool_regs structure and actually
do not provide any dump. However I assume this can happen on other
drivers i.e. when for some devices driver provide regs dump and for
others do not. Hence preventing to to print warning in ethtool code
seems to be reasonable.

net: better skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id cohabitation

2017-06-14T11:16:26+00:00

commit 52bd2d62ce6758d811edcbd2256eb9ea7f6a56cb upstream.

skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id share a common storage,
and we had various bugs about this.

We had to call skb_sender_cpu_clear() in some places to
not leave a prior skb->napi_id and fool netdev_pick_tx()

As suggested by Alexei, we could split the space so that
these errors can not happen.

0 value being reserved as the common (not initialized) value,
let's reserve [1 .. NR_CPUS] range for valid sender_cpu,
and [NR_CPUS+1 .. ~0U] for valid napi_id.

This will allow proper busy polling support over tunnels.

netem: fix skb_orphan_partial()

2017-06-07T10:05:59+00:00

commit f6ba8d33cfbb46df569972e64dbb5bb7e929bfd9 upstream.

I should have known that lowering skb->truesize was dangerous :/

In case packets are not leaving the host via a standard Ethernet device,
but looped back to local sockets, bad things can happen, as reported
by Michael Madsen ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195713 )

So instead of tweaking skb->truesize, lets change skb->destructor
and keep a reference on the owner socket via its sk_refcnt.

ipv4: add reference counting to metrics

2017-06-07T10:05:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3fb07daff8e99243366a081e5129560734de4ada ]

Andrey Konovalov reported crashes in ipv4_mtu()

I could reproduce the issue with KASAN kernels, between
10.246.7.151 and 10.246.7.152 :

1) 20 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -H 10.246.7.152 -l 1000 &

2) At the same time run following loop :
while :
do
 ip ro add 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
 ip ro del 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
done

Cong Wang attempted to add back rt->fi in commit
82486aa6f1b9 ("ipv4: restore rt->fi for reference counting")
but this proved to add some issues that were complex to solve.

Instead, I suggested to add a refcount to the metrics themselves,
being a standalone object (in particular, no reference to other objects)

I tried to make this patch as small as possible to ease its backport,
instead of being super clean. Note that we believe that only ipv4 dst
need to take care of the metric refcount. But if this is wrong,
this patch adds the basic infrastructure to extend this to other
families.

Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for reviewing this patch, and Cong Wang
for his efforts on this problem.

net: Improve handling of failures on link and route dumps

2017-06-07T10:05:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit f6c5775ff0bfa62b072face6bf1d40f659f194b2 ]

In general, rtnetlink dumps do not anticipate failure to dump a single
object (e.g., link or route) on a single pass. As both route and link
objects have grown via more attributes, that is no longer a given.

netlink dumps can handle a failure if the dump function returns an
error; specifically, netlink_dump adds the return code to the response
if it is <= 0 so userspace is notified of the failure. The missing
piece is the rtnetlink dump functions returning the error.

Fix route and link dump functions to return the errors if no object is
added to an skb (detected by skb->len != 0). IPv6 route dumps
(rt6_dump_route) already return the error; this patch updates IPv4 and
link dumps. Other dump functions may need to be ajusted as well.

rtnetlink: NUL-terminate IFLA_PHYS_PORT_NAME string

2017-05-14T11:32:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 77ef033b687c3e030017c94a29bf6ea3aaaef678 ]

IFLA_PHYS_PORT_NAME is a string attribute, so terminate it with \0.
Otherwise libnl3 fails to validate netlink messages with this attribute.
"ip -detail a" assumes too that the attribute is NUL-terminated when
printing it. It often was, due to padding.

I noticed this as libvirtd failing to start on a system with sfc driver
after upgrading it to Linux 4.11, i.e. when sfc added support for
phys_port_name.
