netkit: Add option for scrubbing skb meta data 2024-10-08T00:12:37+00:00 Daniel Borkmann daniel@iogearbox.net 2024-10-04T10:13:31+00:00 83134ef4609388f6b9ca31a384f531155196c2a7 Jordan reported that when running Cilium with netkit in per-endpoint-routes mode, network policy misclassifies traffic. In this direct routing mode of Cilium which is used in case of GKE/EKS/AKS, the Pod's BPF program to enforce policy sits on the netkit primary device's egress side. The issue here is that in case of netkit's netkit_prep_forward(), it will clear meta data such as skb->mark and skb->priority before executing the BPF program. Thus, identity data stored in there from earlier BPF programs (e.g. from tcx ingress on the physical device) gets cleared instead of being made available for the primary's program to process. While for traffic egressing the Pod via the peer device this might be desired, this is different for the primary one where compared to tcx egress on the host veth this information would be available. To address this, add a new parameter for the device orchestration to allow control of skb->mark and skb->priority scrubbing, to make the two accessible from BPF (and eventually leave it up to the program to scrub). By default, the current behavior is retained. For netkit peer this also enables the use case where applications could cooperate/signal intent to the BPF program. Note that struct netkit has a 4 byte hole between policy and bundle which is used here, in other words, struct netkit's first cacheline content used in fast-path does not get moved around.

Jordan reported that when running Cilium with netkit in per-endpoint-routes

of Cilium which is used in case of GKE/EKS/AKS, the Pod's BPF program to

The issue here is that in case of netkit's netkit_prep_forward(), it will

Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect. Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses. Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control.

vxlan: add support for flowlabel inherit 2023-11-16T22:33:31+00:00 Alce Lafranque alce@lafranque.net 2023-11-14T17:36:57+00:00 c6e9dba3be5ef3b701b29b143609561915e5d0e9 By default, VXLAN encapsulation over IPv6 sets the flow label to 0, with an option for a fixed value. This commits add the ability to inherit the flow label from the inner packet, like for other tunnel implementations. This enables devices using only L3 headers for ECMP to correctly balance VXLAN-encapsulated IPv6 packets. ``` $ ./ip/ip link add dummy1 type dummy $ ./ip/ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev dummy1 $ ./ip/ip link set up dev dummy1 $ ./ip/ip link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 100 flowlabel inherit remote 2001:db8::1 local 2001:db8::2 $ ./ip/ip link set up dev vxlan1 $ ./ip/ip addr add 2001:db8:1::2/64 dev vxlan1 $ ./ip/ip link set arp off dev vxlan1 $ ping -q 2001:db8:1::1 & $ tshark -d udp.port==8472,vxlan -Vpni dummy1 -c1 [...] Internet Protocol Version 6, Src: 2001:db8::2, Dst: 2001:db8::1 0110 .... = Version: 6 .... 0000 0000 .... .... .... .... .... = Traffic Class: 0x00 (DSCP: CS0, ECN: Not-ECT) .... 0000 00.. .... .... .... .... .... = Differentiated Services Codepoint: Default (0) .... .... ..00 .... .... .... .... .... = Explicit Congestion Notification: Not ECN-Capable Transport (0) .... 1011 0001 1010 1111 1011 = Flow Label: 0xb1afb [...] Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network Flags: 0x0800, VXLAN Network ID (VNI) Group Policy ID: 0 VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI): 100 [...] Internet Protocol Version 6, Src: 2001:db8:1::2, Dst: 2001:db8:1::1 0110 .... = Version: 6 .... 0000 0000 .... .... .... .... .... = Traffic Class: 0x00 (DSCP: CS0, ECN: Not-ECT) .... 0000 00.. .... .... .... .... .... = Differentiated Services Codepoint: Default (0) .... .... ..00 .... .... .... .... .... = Explicit Congestion Notification: Not ECN-Capable Transport (0) .... 1011 0001 1010 1111 1011 = Flow Label: 0xb1afb ``` Signed-off-by: Alce Lafranque <alce@lafranque.net> Co-developed-by: Vincent Bernat <vincent@bernat.ch> Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <vincent@bernat.ch> Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
