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().

vxlan: fix use-after-free on deletion

2017-06-02T18:29:16+00:00

Adding a vxlan interface to a socket isn't symmetrical, while adding
is done in vxlan_open() the deletion is done in vxlan_dellink().
This can cause a use-after-free error when we close the vxlan
interface before deleting it.

We add vxlan_vs_del_dev() to match vxlan_vs_add_dev() and call
it from vxlan_stop() to match the call from vxlan_open().

vxlan: eliminate cached dst leak

2017-06-01T18:45:21+00:00

After commit 0c1d70af924b ("net: use dst_cache for vxlan device"),
cached dst entries could be leaked when more than one remote was
present for a given vxlan_fdb entry, causing subsequent netns
operations to block indefinitely and "unregister_netdevice: waiting
for lo to become free." messages to appear in the kernel log.

Fix by properly releasing cached dst and freeing resources in this
case.

vxlan: do not output confusing error message

2017-05-01T02:30:13+00:00

The message "Cannot bind port X, err=Y" creates only confusion. In metadata
based mode, failure of IPv6 socket creation is okay if IPv6 is disabled and
no error message should be printed. But when IPv6 tunnel was requested, such
failure is fatal. The vxlan_socket_create does not know when the error is
harmless and when it's not.

Instead of passing such information down to vxlan_socket_create, remove the
message completely. It's not useful. We propagate the error code up to the
user space and the port number comes from the user space. There's nothing in
the message that the process creating vxlan interface does not know.

vxlan: correctly handle ipv6.disable module parameter

2017-05-01T02:30:13+00:00

When IPv6 is compiled but disabled at runtime, __vxlan_sock_add returns
-EAFNOSUPPORT. For metadata based tunnels, this causes failure of the whole
operation of bringing up the tunnel.

Ignore failure of IPv6 socket creation for metadata based tunnels caused by
IPv6 not being available.

vxlan: fix ND proxy when skb doesn't have transport header offset

2017-04-04T01:50:42+00:00

When an incoming frame is tagged or when GRO is disabled, the skb
handled to vxlan_xmit() doesn't contain a valid transport header
offset. This makes ND proxying fail.

We combine two changes: replace use of skb_transport_offset() and ensure
the necessary amount of skb is linear just before using it:

 - In vxlan_xmit(), when determining if we have an ICMPv6 neighbor
   discovery packet, just check if it is an ICMPv6 packet and rely on
   neigh_reduce() to do more checks if this is the case. The use of
   pskb_may_pull() is replaced by skb_header_pointer() for just the IPv6
   header.

 - In neigh_reduce(), add pskb_may_pull() for IPv6 header and neighbor
   discovery message since this was removed from vxlan_xmit(). Replace
   skb_transport_header() with ipv6_hdr() + 1.

 - In vxlan_na_create(), replace first skb_transport_offset() with
   ipv6_hdr() + 1 and second with skb_network_offset() + sizeof(struct
   ipv6hdr). Additionally, ensure we pskb_may_pull() the whole skb as we
   need it to iterate over the options.

vxlan: vxlan dev should inherit lowerdev's gso_max_size

2017-04-01T18:43:38+00:00

vxlan dev currently ignores lowerdev's gso_max_size, which adversely
affects TSO performance of liquidio if it's the lowerdev.  Egress TCP
packets' skb->len often exceed liquidio's advertised gso_max_size.  This
may happen on other NIC drivers.

Fix it by assigning lowerdev's gso_max_size to that of vxlan dev.  Might as
well do likewise for gso_max_segs.

Single flow TSO throughput of liquidio as lowerdev (using iperf3):

    Before the patch:    139 Mbps
    After the patch :   8.68 Gbps
    Percent increase:  6,144 %

vxlan: don't age NTF_EXT_LEARNED fdb entries

2017-03-29T00:57:16+00:00

vxlan driver already implicitly supports installing
of external fdb entries with NTF_EXT_LEARNED. This
patch just makes sure these entries are not aged
by the vxlan driver. An external entity managing these
entries will age them out. This is consistent with
the use of NTF_EXT_LEARNED in the bridge driver.
