[ Upstream commit 53b836a44db4259b94ffcfff321fb3d63f976b76 ]

A new check for the tx devlink health reporter is introduced for
determining when the PTP port timestamping SQ is considered unhealthy. If
there are enough CQEs considered never to be delivered, the space that can
be utilized on the SQ decreases significantly, impacting performance and
usability of the SQ. The health reporter is triggered when the number of
likely never delivered port timestamping CQEs that utilize the space of the
PTP SQ is greater than 93.75% of the total capacity of the SQ. A devlink
health reporter recover method is also provided for this specific TX error
context that restarts the PTP SQ.

[ Upstream commit 3178308ad4ca38955cad684d235153d4939f1fcd ]

Use a map structure for associating CQEs containing port timestamping
information with the appropriate skb. Track order of WQEs submitted using a
FIFO. Check if the corresponding port timestamping CQEs from the lookup
values in the FIFO are considered dropped due to time elapsed. Return the
lookup value to a freelist after consuming the skb. Reuse the freed lookup
in future WQE submission iterations.

The map structure uses an integer identifier for the key and returns an skb
corresponding to that identifier. Embed the integer identifier in the WQE
submitted to the WQ for the transmit path when the SQ is a PTP (port
timestamping) SQ. The embedded identifier can then be queried using a field
in the CQE of the corresponding port timestamping CQ. In the port
timestamping napi_poll context, the identifier is queried from the CQE
polled from CQ and used to lookup the corresponding skb from the WQE submit
path. The skb reference is removed from map and then embedded with the port
HW timestamp information from the CQE and eventually consumed.

The metadata freelist FIFO is an array containing integer identifiers that
can be pushed and popped in the FIFO. The purpose of this structure is
bookkeeping what identifier values can safely be used in a subsequent WQE
submission and should not contain identifiers that have still not been
reaped by processing a corresponding CQE completion on the port
timestamping CQ.

The ts_cqe_pending_list structure is a combination of an array and linked
list. The array is pre-populated with the nodes that will be added and
removed from the head of the linked list. Each node contains the unique
identifier value associated with the values submitted in the WQEs and
retrieved in the port timestamping CQEs. When a WQE is submitted, the node
in the array corresponding to the identifier popped from the metadata
freelist is added to the end of the CQE pending list and is marked as
"in-use". The node is removed from the linked list under two conditions.
The first condition is that the corresponding port timestamping CQE is
polled in the PTP napi_poll context. The second condition is that more than
a second has elapsed since the DMA timestamp value corresponding to the WQE
submission. When the first condition occurs, the "in-use" bit in the linked
list node is cleared, and the resources corresponding to the WQE submission
are then released. The second condition, however, indicates that the port
timestamping CQE will likely never be delivered. It's not impossible for
the device to post a CQE after an infinite amount of time though highly
improbable. In order to be resilient to this improbable case, resources
related to the corresponding WQE submission are still kept, the identifier
value is not returned to the freelist, and the "in-use" bit is cleared on
the node to indicate that it's no longer part of the linked list of "likely
to be delivered" port timestamping CQE identifiers. A count for the number
of port timestamping CQEs considered highly likely to never be delivered by
the device is maintained. This count gets decremented in the unlikely event
a port timestamping CQE considered unlikely to ever be delivered is polled
in the PTP napi_poll context.

<content type='text'>
commit 5027d54a9c30bc7ec808360378e2b4753f053f25 upstream.

accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route
and discarded entire RAs accordingly.

This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and
applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router
lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those
lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section
is ignored.

In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply
to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum
frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses
hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all
lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s)
with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks
that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU
wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the
WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the
misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers
on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications).

The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router
lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes
present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based
on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing
twice.

commit 1671bcfd76fdc0b9e65153cf759153083755fe4c upstream.

This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the
minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router
lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is
ignored.
This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted
by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks,
the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to
drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.

<title>netfilter: set default timeout to 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv state</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=9bfab6d23a2865966a4f89a96536fbf23f83bc8c'/>
<id>9bfab6d23a2865966a4f89a96536fbf23f83bc8c</id>
<content type='text'>
In SCTP protocol, it is using the same timer (T2 timer) for SHUTDOWN and
SHUTDOWN_ACK retransmission. However in sctp conntrack the default timeout
value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT state is 3 secs while it's 300
msecs for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV state.

As Paolo Valerio noticed, this might cause unwanted expiration of the ct
entry. In my test, with 1s tc netem delay set on the NAT path, after the
SHUTDOWN is sent, the sctp ct entry enters SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND
state. However, due to 300ms (too short) delay, when the SHUTDOWN_ACK is
sent back from the peer, the sctp ct entry has expired and been deleted,
and then the SHUTDOWN_ACK has to be dropped.

Also, it is confusing these two sysctl options always show 0 due to all
timeout values using sec as unit:

  net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_recd = 0
  net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_sent = 0

This patch fixes it by also using 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv
state in sctp conntrack, which is also RTO.initial value in SCTP protocol.

Note that the very short time value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
was probably used for a rare scenario where SHUTDOWN is sent on 1st path
but SHUTDOWN_ACK is replied on 2nd path, then a new connection started
immediately on 1st path. So this patch also moves from SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
to CLOSE when receiving INIT in the ORIGINAL direction.

In SCTP protocol, it is using the same timer (T2 timer) for SHUTDOWN and
SHUTDOWN_ACK retransmission. However in sctp conntrack the default timeout
value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT state is 3 secs while it's 300
msecs for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV state.

As Paolo Valerio noticed, this might cause unwanted expiration of the ct
entry. In my test, with 1s tc netem delay set on the NAT path, after the
SHUTDOWN is sent, the sctp ct entry enters SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND
state. However, due to 300ms (too short) delay, when the SHUTDOWN_ACK is
sent back from the peer, the sctp ct entry has expired and been deleted,
and then the SHUTDOWN_ACK has to be dropped.

Also, it is confusing these two sysctl options always show 0 due to all
timeout values using sec as unit:

  net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_recd = 0
  net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_sent = 0

This patch fixes it by also using 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv
state in sctp conntrack, which is also RTO.initial value in SCTP protocol.

Note that the very short time value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
was probably used for a rare scenario where SHUTDOWN is sent on 1st path
but SHUTDOWN_ACK is replied on 2nd path, then a new connection started
immediately on 1st path. So this patch also moves from SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
to CLOSE when receiving INIT in the ORIGINAL direction.

Fixes: 9fb9cbb1082d ("[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.")

Initial creation of an AF_XDP socket requires CAP_NET_RAW capability. A
privileged process might create the socket and pass it to a non-privileged
process for later use. However, that process will be able to bind the socket
to any network interface. Even though it will not be able to receive any
traffic without modification of the BPF map, the situation is not ideal.

Sockets already have a mechanism that can be used to restrict what interface
they can be attached to. That is SO_BINDTODEVICE.

To change the SO_BINDTODEVICE binding the process will need CAP_NET_RAW.

Make xsk_bind() honor the SO_BINDTODEVICE in order to allow safer workflow
when non-privileged process is using AF_XDP.

The intended workflow is following:

  1. First process creates a bare socket with socket(AF_XDP, ...).
  2. First process loads the XSK program to the interface.
  3. First process adds the socket fd to a BPF map.
  4. First process ties socket fd to a particular interface using
     SO_BINDTODEVICE.
  5. First process sends socket fd to a second process.
  6. Second process allocates UMEM.
  7. Second process binds socket to the interface with bind(...).
  8. Second process sends/receives the traffic.

All the steps above are possible today if the first process is privileged
and the second one has sufficient RLIMIT_MEMLOCK and no capabilities.
However, the second process will be able to bind the socket to any interface
it wants on step 7 and send traffic from it. With the proposed change, the
second process will be able to bind the socket only to a specific interface
chosen by the first process at step 4.
