<title>ip_tunnel: Allow policy-based routing through tunnels</title>

<id>9830ad4c6a7f8db18d3b0933875937e36470987d</id>
<content type='text'>
This feature allows the administrator to set an fwmark for
packets traversing a tunnel.  This allows the use of independent
routing tables for tunneled packets without the use of iptables.

There is no concept of per-packet routing decisions through IPv4
tunnels, so this implementation does not need to work with
per-packet route lookups as the v6 implementation may
(with IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FWMARK).

Further, since the v4 tunnel ioctls share datastructures
(which can not be trivially modified) with the kernel's internal
tunnel configuration structures, the mark attribute must be stored
in the tunnel structure itself and passed as a parameter when
creating or changing tunnel attributes.

<title>netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int</title>

<content type='text'>
Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng-&gt;ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

<title>vti: use right inner_mode for inbound inter address family policy checks</title>

<id>1fb81e09d487656aa23f2acb1232c7f56b4c2367</id>
<content type='text'>
In case of inter address family tunneling (IPv6 over vti4 or IPv4 over
vti6), the inbound policy checks in vti_rcv_cb() and vti6_rcv_cb() are
using the wrong address family. As a result, all inbound inter address
family traffic is dropped.

Use the xfrm_ip2inner_mode() helper, as done in xfrm_input() (i.e., also
increment LINUX_MIB_XFRMINSTATEMODEERROR in case of error), to select the
inner_mode that contains the right address family for the inbound policy
checks.

<title>vti: flush x-netns xfrm cache when vti interface is removed</title>

When executing the script included below, the netns delete operation
hangs with the following message (repeated at 10 second intervals):

  kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

This occurs because a reference to the lo interface in the "secure" netns
is still held by a dst entry in the xfrm bundle cache in the init netns.

Address this problem by garbage collecting the tunnel netns flow cache
when a cross-namespace vti interface receives a NETDEV_DOWN notification.

A more detailed description of the problem scenario (referencing commands
in the script below):

(1) ip link add vti_test type vti local 1.1.1.1 remote 1.1.1.2 key 1

  The vti_test interface is created in the init namespace. vti_tunnel_init()
  attaches a struct ip_tunnel to the vti interface's netdev_priv(dev),
  setting the tunnel net to &amp;init_net.

(2) ip link set vti_test netns secure

  The vti_test interface is moved to the "secure" netns. Note that
  the associated struct ip_tunnel still has tunnel-&gt;net set to &amp;init_net.

(3) ip netns exec secure ping -c 4 -i 0.02 -I 192.168.100.1 192.168.200.1

  The first packet sent using the vti device causes xfrm_lookup() to be
  called as follows:

      dst = xfrm_lookup(tunnel-&gt;net, skb_dst(skb), fl, NULL, 0);

  Note that tunnel-&gt;net is the init namespace, while skb_dst(skb) references
  the vti_test interface in the "secure" namespace. The returned dst
  references an interface in the init namespace.

  Also note that the first parameter to xfrm_lookup() determines which flow
  cache is used to store the computed xfrm bundle, so after xfrm_lookup()
  returns there will be a cached bundle in the init namespace flow cache
  with a dst referencing a device in the "secure" namespace.

(4) ip netns del secure

  Kernel begins to delete the "secure" namespace.  At some point the
  vti_test interface is deleted, at which point dst_ifdown() changes
  the dst-&gt;dev in the cached xfrm bundle flow from vti_test to lo (still
  in the "secure" namespace however).
  Since nothing has happened to cause the init namespace's flow cache
  to be garbage collected, this dst remains attached to the flow cache,
  so the kernel loops waiting for the last reference to lo to go away.
