net: sched: extract qstats update code into functions

2025-08-28T14:21:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 26b537a88ca5b7399c7ab0656e06dbd9da9513c1 ]

Extract common code that increments cpu_qstats counters into standalone act
API functions. Change hardware offloaded actions that use percpu counter
allocation to use the new functions instead of accessing cpu_qstats
directly.

This commit doesn't change functionality.

net: sched: extract common action counters update code into function

2025-08-28T14:21:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8ecebd04cbb6badb46d42fe54282e7883ed63cc ]

Currently, all implementations of tc_action_ops->stats_update() callback
have almost exactly the same implementation of counters update
code (besides gact which also updates drop counter). In order to simplify
support for using both percpu-allocated and regular action counters
depending on run-time flag in following patches, extract action counters
update code into standalone function in act API.

This commit doesn't change functionality.

net: sched: fix police ext initialization

2021-03-04T09:26:53+00:00

commit 396d7f23adf9e8c436dd81a69488b5b6a865acf8 upstream.

When police action is created by cls API tcf_exts_validate() first
conditional that calls tcf_action_init_1() directly, the action idr is not
updated according to latest changes in action API that require caller to
commit newly created action to idr with tcf_idr_insert_many(). This results
such action not being accessible through act API and causes crash reported
by syzbot:

net_sched: defer tcf_idr_insert() in tcf_action_init_1()

2020-10-14T08:33:06+00:00

commit e49d8c22f1261c43a986a7fdbf677ac309682a07 upstream.

All TC actions call tcf_idr_insert() for new action at the end
of their ->init(), so we can actually move it to a central place
in tcf_action_init_1().

And once the action is inserted into the global IDR, other parallel
process could free it immediately as its refcnt is still 1, so we can
not fail after this, we need to move it after the goto action
validation to avoid handling the failure case after insertion.

This is found during code review, is not directly triggered by syzbot.
And this prepares for the next patch.

net sched: fix reporting the first-time use timestamp

[ Upstream commit b15e62631c5f19fea9895f7632dae9c1b27fe0cd ]

When a new action is installed, firstuse field of 'tcf_t' is explicitly set
to 0. Value of zero means "new action, not yet used"; as a packet hits the
action, 'firstuse' is stamped with the current jiffies value.

tcf_tm_dump() should return 0 for firstuse if action has not yet been hit.

net: sched: use get_dev() action API in flow_action infra

2019-09-16T07:18:03+00:00

When filling in hardware intermediate representation tc_setup_flow_action()
directly obtains, checks and takes reference to dev used by mirred action,
instead of using act->ops->get_dev() API created specifically for this
purpose. In order to remove code duplication, refactor flow_action infra to
use action API when obtaining mirred action target dev. Extend get_dev()
with additional argument that is used to provide dev destructor to the
user.

net: sched: take reference to psample group in flow_action infra

2019-09-16T07:18:03+00:00

With recent patch set that removed rtnl lock dependency from cls hardware
offload API rtnl lock is only taken when reading action data and can be
released after action-specific data is parsed into intermediate
representation. However, sample action psample group is passed by pointer
without obtaining reference to it first, which makes it possible to
concurrently overwrite the action and deallocate object pointed by
psample_group pointer after rtnl lock is released but before driver
finished using the pointer.

To prevent such race condition, obtain reference to psample group while it
is used by flow_action infra. Extend psample API with function
psample_group_take() that increments psample group reference counter.
Extend struct tc_action_ops with new get_psample_group() API. Implement the
API for action sample using psample_group_take() and already existing
psample_group_put() as a destructor. Use it in tc_setup_flow_action() to
take reference to psample group pointed to by entry->sample.psample_group
and release it in tc_cleanup_flow_action().

Disable bh when taking psample_groups_lock. The lock is now taken while
holding action tcf_lock that is used by data path and requires bh to be
disabled, so doing the same for psample_groups_lock is necessary to
preserve SOFTIRQ-irq-safety.

net_sched: fix a NULL pointer deref in ipt action

2019-08-27T22:05:58+00:00

The net pointer in struct xt_tgdtor_param is not explicitly
initialized therefore is still NULL when dereferencing it.
So we have to find a way to pass the correct net pointer to
ipt_destroy_target().

The best way I find is just saving the net pointer inside the per
netns struct tcf_idrinfo, which could make this patch smaller.

net/sched: let actions use RCU to access 'goto_chain'

2019-03-21T20:26:42+00:00

use RCU when accessing the action chain, to avoid use after free in the
traffic path when 'goto chain' is replaced on existing TC actions (see
script below). Since the control action is read in the traffic path
without holding the action spinlock, we need to explicitly ensure that
a->goto_chain is not NULL before dereferencing (i.e it's not sufficient
to rely on the value of TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits). Not doing so caused NULL
dereferences in tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() when the following script:

 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
 > ip_proto udp action pass index 4
 # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress protocol ip flower \
 > ip_proto udp action csum udp goto chain 42 index 66
 # tc chain del dev dd0 chain 42 ingress
 (start UDP traffic towards dd0)
 # tc action replace action csum udp pass index 66

was run repeatedly for several hours.
