net: ipmr: Fix some mroute forwarding issues in vrf's

2017-06-11T22:15:06+00:00

This patch fixes two issues:

1) When forwarding on *,G mroutes that are in a vrf, the
kernel was dropping information about the actual incoming
interface when calling ip_mr_forward from ip_mr_input.
This caused ip_mr_forward to send the multicast packet
back out the incoming interface.  Fix this by
modifying ip_mr_forward to be handed the correctly
resolved dev.

2) When a unresolved cache entry is created we store
the incoming skb on the unresolved cache entry and
upon mroute resolution from the user space daemon,
we attempt to forward the packet.  Again we were
not resolving to the correct incoming device for
a vrf scenario, before calling ip_mr_forward.
Fix this by resolving to the correct interface
and calling ip_mr_forward with the result.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-06-07T19:53:24+00:00

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().

This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

ipmr: vrf: Find VIFs using the actual device

2017-05-16T16:52:17+00:00

The skb->dev that is passed into ip_mr_input is
the loX device for VRFs. When we lookup a vif
for this dev, none is found as we do not create
vifs for loopbacks. Instead lookup a vif for the
actual device that the packet was received on,
eg the vlan.

net: rtnetlink: plumb extended ack to doit function

2017-04-17T19:35:38+00:00

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse
for doit functions that call it directly.

This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink.
>From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as
needed.

ipv4: fix a deadlock in ip_ra_control

2017-04-17T16:46:50+00:00

Similar to commit 87e9f0315952
("ipv4: fix a potential deadlock in mcast getsockopt() path"),
there is a deadlock scenario for IP_ROUTER_ALERT too:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(rtnl_mutex);
                               lock(sk_lock-AF_INET);
                               lock(rtnl_mutex);
  lock(sk_lock-AF_INET);

Fix this by always locking RTNL first on all setsockopt() paths.

Note, after this patch ip_ra_lock is no longer needed either.

lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z support

2017-02-28T02:43:47+00:00

Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
is in my opinion is quite an achievement.  Hopefully this patch inspires
someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

ipmr: improve hash scalability

2017-01-12T21:48:26+00:00

Recently we started using ipmr with thousands of entries and easily hit
soft lockups on smaller devices. The reason is that the hash function
uses the high order bits from the src and dst, but those don't change in
many common cases, also the hash table  is only 64 elements so with
thousands it doesn't scale at all.
This patch migrates the hash table to rhashtable, and in particular the
rhl interface which allows for duplicate elements to be chained because
of the MFC_PROXY support (*,G; *,*,oif cases) which allows for multiple
duplicate entries to be added with different interfaces (IMO wrong, but
it's been in for a long time).

And here are some results from tests I've run in a VM:
 mr_table size (default, allocated for all namespaces):
  Before                    After
   49304 bytes               2400 bytes

 Add 65000 routes (the diff is much larger on smaller devices):
  Before                    After
   1m42s                     58s

 Forwarding 256 byte packets with 65000 routes (test done in a VM):
  Before                    After
   3 Mbps / ~1465 pps        122 Mbps / ~59000 pps

As a bonus we no longer see the soft lockups on smaller devices which
showed up even with 2000 entries before.
