net: ipv6: fix returned variable type in ip6_skb_dst_mtu

2021-08-12T11:20:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4039146777a91e1576da2bf38e0d8a1061a1ae47 ]

The patch fixing the returned value of ip6_skb_dst_mtu (int -> unsigned
int) was rebased between its initial review and the version applied. In
the meantime fade56410c22 was applied, which added a new variable (int)
used as the returned value. This lead to a mismatch between the function
prototype and the variable used as the return value.

net: ipv6: fix return value of ip6_skb_dst_mtu

2021-07-25T12:35:14+00:00

commit 40fc3054b45820c28ea3c65e2c86d041dc244a8a upstream.

Commit 628a5c561890 ("[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE") introduced
ip6_skb_dst_mtu with return value of signed int which is inconsistent
with actually returned values. Also 2 users of this function actually
assign its value to unsigned int variable and only __xfrm6_output
assigns result of this function to signed variable but actually uses
as unsigned in further comparisons and calls. Change this function
to return unsigned int value.

net: lwtunnel: handle MTU calculation in forwading

2021-07-14T14:53:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit fade56410c22cacafb1be9f911a0afd3701d8366 ]

Commit 14972cbd34ff ("net: lwtunnel: Handle fragmentation") moved
fragmentation logic away from lwtunnel by carry encap headroom and
use it in output MTU calculation. But the forwarding part was not
covered and created difference in MTU for output and forwarding and
further to silent drops on ipv4 forwarding path. Fix it by taking
into account lwtunnel encap headroom.

The same commit also introduced difference in how to treat RTAX_MTU
in IPv4 and IPv6 where latter explicitly removes lwtunnel encap
headroom from route MTU. Make IPv4 version do the same.

net: ipv6: do not consider routes via gateways for anycast address check

2020-04-21T07:04:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 03e2a984b6165621f287fadf5f4b5cd8b58dcaba ]

The behaviour for what is considered an anycast address changed in
commit 45e4fd26683c ("ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after
encountering pmtu exception"). This now considers the first
address in a subnet where there is a route via a gateway
to be an anycast address.

This breaks path MTU discovery and traceroutes when a host in a
remote network uses the address at the start of a prefix
(eg 2600:: advertised as 2600::/48 in the DFZ) as ICMP errors
will not be sent to anycast addresses.

This patch excludes any routes with a gateway, or via point to
point links, like the behaviour previously from
rt6_is_gw_or_nonexthop in net/ipv6/route.c.

This can be tested with:
ip link add v1 type veth peer name v2
ip netns add test
ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
ip link set v2 netns test
ip link set v1 up
ip netns exec test ip link set v2 up
ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev v1 nodad
ip addr add 2001:db8:100:: dev lo nodad
ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev v2 nodad
ip netns exec test ip route add unreachable 2001:db8:1::1
ip netns exec test ip route add 2001:db8:100::/64 via 2001:db8::1
ip netns exec test sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
ip route add 2001:db8:1::1 via 2001:db8::2
ping -I 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1::1 -c1
ping -I 2001:db8:100:: 2001:db8:1::1 -c1
ip addr delete 2001:db8:100:: dev lo
ip netns delete test

Currently the first ping will get back a destination unreachable ICMP
error, but the second will never get a response, with "icmp6_send:
acast source" logged. After this patch, both get destination
unreachable ICMP replies.

The new route handling in ip_mc_finish_output() from 'net' overlapped
with the new support for returning congestion notifications from BPF
programs.

In order to handle this I had to take the dev_loopback_xmit() calls
out of the switch statement.

The aquantia driver conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

ipv6: Dump route exceptions if requested

2019-06-24T17:18:49+00:00

Since commit 2b760fcf5cfb ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst
cache"), route exceptions reside in a separate hash table, and won't be
found by walking the FIB, so they won't be dumped to userspace on a
RTM_GETROUTE message.

This causes 'ip -6 route list cache' and 'ip -6 route flush cache' to
have no function anymore:

 # ip -6 route get fc00:3::1
 fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 src fc00:1::1 metric 1024 expires 539sec mtu 1400 pref medium
 # ip -6 route get fc00:4::1
 fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 src fc00:2::1 metric 1024 expires 536sec mtu 1500 pref medium
 # ip -6 route list cache
 # ip -6 route flush cache
 # ip -6 route get fc00:3::1
 fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 src fc00:1::1 metric 1024 expires 520sec mtu 1400 pref medium
 # ip -6 route get fc00:4::1
 fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 src fc00:2::1 metric 1024 expires 519sec mtu 1500 pref medium

because iproute2 lists cached routes using RTM_GETROUTE, and flushes them
by listing all the routes, and deleting them with RTM_DELROUTE one by one.

If cached routes are requested using the RTM_F_CLONED flag together with
strict checking, or if no strict checking is requested (and hence we can't
consistently apply filters), look up exceptions in the hash table
associated with the current fib6_info in rt6_dump_route(), and, if present
and not expired, add them to the dump.

We might be unable to dump all the entries for a given node in a single
message, so keep track of how many entries were handled for the current
node in fib6_walker, and skip that amount in case we start from the same
partially dumped node.

When a partial dump restarts, as the starting node might change when
'sernum' changes, we have no guarantee that we need to skip the same
amount of in-node entries. Therefore, we need two counters, and we need to
zero the in-node counter if the node from which the dump is resumed
differs.

Note that, with the current version of iproute2, this only fixes the
'ip -6 route list cache': on a flush command, iproute2 doesn't pass
RTM_F_CLONED and, due to this inconsistency, 'ip -6 route flush cache' is
still unable to fetch the routes to be flushed. This will be addressed in
a patch for iproute2.

To flush cached routes, a procfs entry could be introduced instead: that's
how it works for IPv4. We already have a rt6_flush_exception() function
ready to be wired to it. However, this would not solve the issue for
listing.

v7:
  - Explain usage of "skip" counters in commit message (suggested by
    David Ahern)

v6:
  - Rebase onto net-next, use recently introduced nexthop walker
  - Make rt6_nh_dump_exceptions() a separate function (suggested by David
    Ahern)

v5:
  - Use dump_routes and dump_exceptions from filter, ignore NLM_F_MATCH,
    update test results (flushing works with iproute2 < 5.0.0 now)

v4:
  - Split NLM_F_MATCH and strict check handling in separate patches
  - Filter routes using RTM_F_CLONED: if it's not set, only return
    non-cached routes, and if it's set, only return cached routes:
    change requested by David Ahern and Martin Lau. This implies that
    iproute2 needs a separate patch to be able to flush IPv6 cached
    routes. This is not ideal because we can't fix the breakage caused
    by 2b760fcf5cfb entirely in kernel. However, two years have passed
    since then, and this makes it more tolerable

v3:
  - More descriptive comment about expired exceptions in rt6_dump_route()
  - Swap return values of rt6_dump_route() (suggested by Martin Lau)
  - Don't zero skip_in_node in case we don't dump anything in a given pass
    (also suggested by Martin Lau)
  - Remove check on RTM_F_CLONED altogether: in the current UAPI semantic,
    it's just a flag to indicate the route was cloned, not to filter on
    routes

v2: Add tracking of number of entries to be skipped in current node after
    a partial dump. As we restart from the same node, if not all the
    exceptions for a given node fit in a single message, the dump will
    not terminate, as suggested by Martin Lau. This is a concrete
    possibility, setting up a big number of exceptions for the same route
    actually causes the issue, suggested by David Ahern.

ipv6: convert major tx path to use RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF

2019-06-23T20:24:17+00:00

For tx path, in most cases, we still have to take refcnt on the dst
cause the caller is caching the dst somewhere. But it still is
beneficial to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag while doing the
route lookup. It is cause this flag prevents manipulating refcnt on
net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry when doing fib6_rule_lookup() to traverse each
routing table. The null_entry is a shared object and constant updates on
it cause false sharing.

We converted the current major lookup function ip6_route_output_flags()
to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF.

Together with the change in the rx path, we see noticable performance
boost:
I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts
have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues.
Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen.
Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port.
Both hosts have multiple custom rules:
- For incoming packets, only local table is traversed.
- For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route.
The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows:
- Before the fix: 3.78Mpps
- After the fix:  5.50Mpps

ipv6: honor RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF in rule lookup logic

2019-06-23T20:24:17+00:00

This patch specifically converts the rule lookup logic to honor this
flag and not release refcnt when traversing each rule and calling
lookup() on each routing table.
Similar to previous patch, we also need some special handling of dst
entries in uncached list because there is always 1 refcnt taken for them
even if RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag is set.

ipv6: introduce RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag in ip6_pol_route()

2019-06-23T20:24:17+00:00

This new flag is to instruct the route lookup function to not take
refcnt on the dst entry. The user which does route lookup with this flag
must properly use rcu protection.
ip6_pol_route() is the major route lookup function for both tx and rx
path.
In this function:
Do not take refcnt on dst if RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag is set, and
directly return the route entry. The caller should be holding rcu lock
when using this flag, and decide whether to take refcnt or not.

One note on the dst cache in the uncached_list:
As uncached_list does not consume refcnt, one refcnt is always returned
back to the caller even if RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag is set.
Uncached dst is only possible in the output path. So in such call path,
caller MUST check if the dst is in the uncached_list before assuming
that there is no refcnt taken on the returned dst.
