net: support marking accepting TCP sockets

2014-05-13T22:35:09+00:00

When using mark-based routing, sockets returned from accept()
may need to be marked differently depending on the incoming
connection request.

This is the case, for example, if different socket marks identify
different networks: a listening socket may want to accept
connections from all networks, but each connection should be
marked with the network that the request came in on, so that
subsequent packets are sent on the correct network.

This patch adds a sysctl to mark TCP sockets based on the fwmark
of the incoming SYN packet. If enabled, and an unmarked socket
receives a SYN, then the SYN packet's fwmark is written to the
connection's inet_request_sock, and later written back to the
accepted socket when the connection is established.  If the
socket already has a nonzero mark, then the behaviour is the same
as it is today, i.e., the listening socket's fwmark is used.

Black-box tested using user-mode linux:

- IPv4/IPv6 SYN+ACK, FIN, etc. packets are routed based on the
  mark of the incoming SYN packet.
- The socket returned by accept() is marked with the mark of the
  incoming SYN packet.
- Tested with syncookies=1 and syncookies=2.

inet: split syncookie keys for ipv4 and ipv6 and initialize with net_get_random_once

2013-10-19T23:45:35+00:00

This patch splits the secret key for syncookies for ipv4 and ipv6 and
initializes them with net_get_random_once. This change was the reason I
did this series. I think the initialization of the syncookie_secret is
way to early.

inet: rename ir_loc_port to ir_num

2013-10-10T18:37:35+00:00

In commit 634fb979e8f ("inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock")
I forgot that the two ports in sock_common do not have same byte order :

skc_dport is __be16 (network order), but skc_num is __u16 (host order)

So sparse complains because ir_loc_port (mapped into skc_num) is
considered as __u16 while it should be __be16

Let rename ir_loc_port to ireq->ir_num (analogy with inet->inet_num),
and perform appropriate htons/ntohs conversions.

inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock

2013-10-10T04:08:07+00:00

TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :

We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
lookups and remove listener lock contention.

This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
of struct request_sock

This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
structure.

Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.

loc_port   -> ir_loc_port
loc_addr   -> ir_loc_addr
rmt_addr   -> ir_rmt_addr
rmt_port   -> ir_rmt_port
iif        -> ir_iif

tcp: syncookies: reduce mss table to four values

2013-09-24T14:39:58+00:00

Halve mss table size to make blind cookie guessing more difficult.
This is sad since the tables were already small, but there
is little alternative except perhaps adding more precise mss information
in the tcp timestamp.  Timestamps are unfortunately not ubiquitous.

Guessing all possible cookie values still has 8-in 2**32 chance.

tcp: syncookies: reduce cookie lifetime to 128 seconds

2013-09-24T14:39:58+00:00

We currently accept cookies that were created less than 4 minutes ago
(ie, cookies with counter delta 0-3).  Combined with the 8 mss table
values, this yields 32 possible values (out of 2**32) that will be valid.

Reducing the lifetime to < 2 minutes halves the guessing chance while
still providing a large enough period.

While at it, get rid of jiffies value -- they overflow too quickly on
32 bit platforms.

getnstimeofday is used to create a counter that increments every 64s.
perf shows getnstimeofday cost is negible compared to sha_transform;
normal tcp initial sequence number generation uses getnstimeofday, too.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.
