[ Upstream commit 066b86787fa3d97b7aefb5ac0a99a22dad2d15f8 ]

assume the following setup on a single machine:
1. An openvswitch instance with one bridge and default flows
2. two network namespaces "server" and "client"
3. two ovs interfaces "server" and "client" on the bridge
4. for each ovs interface a veth pair with a matching name and 32 rx and
   tx queues
5. move the ends of the veth pairs to the respective network namespaces
6. assign ip addresses to each of the veth ends in the namespaces (needs
   to be the same subnet)
7. start some http server on the server network namespace
8. test if a client in the client namespace can reach the http server

when following the actions below the host has a chance of getting a cpu
stuck in a infinite loop:
1. send a large amount of parallel requests to the http server (around
   3000 curls should work)
2. in parallel delete the network namespace (do not delete interfaces or
   stop the server, just kill the namespace)

there is a low chance that this will cause the below kernel cpu stuck
message. If this does not happen just retry.
Below there is also the output of bpftrace for the functions mentioned
in the output.

The series of events happening here is:
1. the network namespace is deleted calling
   `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` somewhere in the process
2. this sets first `NETREG_UNREGISTERING` on both ends of the veth and
   then runs `synchronize_net`
3. it then calls `call_netdevice_notifiers` with `NETDEV_UNREGISTER`
4. this is then handled by `dp_device_event` which calls
   `ovs_netdev_detach_dev` (if a vport is found, which is the case for
   the veth interface attached to ovs)
5. this removes the rx_handlers of the device but does not prevent
   packages to be sent to the device
6. `dp_device_event` then queues the vport deletion to work in
   background as a ovs_lock is needed that we do not hold in the
   unregistration path
7. `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` continues to call
   `netdev_unregister_kobject` which sets `real_num_tx_queues` to 0
8. port deletion continues (but details are not relevant for this issue)
9. at some future point the background task deletes the vport

If after 7. but before 9. a packet is send to the ovs vport (which is
not deleted at this point in time) which forwards it to the
`dev_queue_xmit` flow even though the device is unregistering.
In `skb_tx_hash` (which is called in the `dev_queue_xmit`) path there is
a while loop (if the packet has a rx_queue recorded) that is infinite if
`dev-&gt;real_num_tx_queues` is zero.

To prevent this from happening we update `do_output` to handle devices
without carrier the same as if the device is not found (which would
be the code path after 9. is done).

Additionally we now produce a warning in `skb_tx_hash` if we will hit
the infinite loop.

<title>treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible</title>

<content type='text'>
The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

<title>net: openvswitch: fix misuse of the cached connection on tuple changes</title>

<content type='text'>
If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant
for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet
classification.

This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments
with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped.

The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple
changes between them:

  actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)),
          set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)),
          set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)),
          ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4)

After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully
re-written.  The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry
and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the
pipeline.

Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed
to avoid the issue.

The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still
be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after
the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

<title>net: openvswitch: don't send internal clone attribute to the userspace.</title>

'OVS_CLONE_ATTR_EXEC' is an internal attribute that is used for
performance optimization inside the kernel.  It's added by the kernel
while parsing user-provided actions and should not be sent during the
flow dump as it's not part of the uAPI.

The issue doesn't cause any significant problems to the ovs-vswitchd
process, because reported actions are not really used in the
application lifecycle and only supposed to be shown to a human via
ovs-dpctl flow dump.  However, the action list is still incorrect
and causes the following error if the user wants to look at the
datapath flows:

  # ovs-dpctl add-dp system@ovs-system
  # ovs-dpctl add-flow "&lt;flow match&gt;" "clone(ct(commit),0)"
  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(bad length 4, expected -1 for: action0(01 00 00 00),
                  ct(commit),0)

With the fix:

  # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
  &lt;flow match&gt;, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,
    actions:clone(ct(commit),0)

Additionally fixed an incorrect attribute name in the comment.

<title>openvswitch: Add recirc_id to recirc warning</title>

When hitting the recirculation limit, the kernel would currently log
something like this:

[   58.586597] openvswitch: ovs-system: deferred action limit reached, drop recirc action

Which isn't all that useful to debug as we only have the interface name
to go on but can't track it down to a specific flow.

With this change, we now instead get:

[   58.586597] openvswitch: ovs-system: deferred action limit reached, drop recirc action (recirc_id=0x9e)

Which can now be correlated with the flow entries from OVS.

[   58.586597] openvswitch: ovs-system: deferred action limit reached, drop recirc action (recirc_id=0x9e)

Which can now be correlated with the flow entries from OVS.

Ipv6 ttl, label and tos fields are modified without first
pulling/pushing the ipv6 header, which would have updated
the hw csum (if available). This might cause csum validation
when sending the packet to the stack, as can be seen in
the trace below.

Fix this by updating skb-&gt;csum if available.

Trace resulted by ipv6 ttl dec and then sending packet
to conntrack [actions: set(ipv6(hlimit=63)),ct(zone=99)]:

<title>openvswitch: Introduce per-cpu upcall dispatch</title>

<id>b83d23a2a38b1770da0491257ae81d52307f7816</id>
<content type='text'>
The Open vSwitch kernel module uses the upcall mechanism to send
packets from kernel space to user space when it misses in the kernel
space flow table. The upcall sends packets via a Netlink socket.
Currently, a Netlink socket is created for every vport. In this way,
there is a 1:1 mapping between a vport and a Netlink socket.
When a packet is received by a vport, if it needs to be sent to
user space, it is sent via the corresponding Netlink socket.

This mechanism, with various iterations of the corresponding user
space code, has seen some limitations and issues:

* On systems with a large number of vports, there is a correspondingly
large number of Netlink sockets which can limit scaling.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526306)
* Packet reordering on upcalls.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1844576)
* A thundering herd issue.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834444)

This patch introduces an alternative, feature-negotiated, upcall
mode using a per-cpu dispatch rather than a per-vport dispatch.

In this mode, the Netlink socket to be used for the upcall is
selected based on the CPU of the thread that is executing the upcall.
In this way, it resolves the issues above as:

a) The number of Netlink sockets scales with the number of CPUs
rather than the number of vports.
b) Ordering per-flow is maintained as packets are distributed to
CPUs based on mechanisms such as RSS and flows are distributed
to a single user space thread.
c) Packets from a flow can only wake up one user space thread.

The corresponding user space code can be found at:

This makes openvswitch module use the event tracing framework
to log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline.  When
using openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types of
debugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd's
ofproto/trace command.  However, such a command has some
limitations:

  1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action,
     the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably
     would be potentially wrong.

  2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well
     even if many of the flows are known

  3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without
     the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).

Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible for
working through these problems in kernel space.  The style is
copied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code for
consistency - this creates some checkpatch splats, but the
official 'guide' for adding tracepoints, as well as the existing
examples all add the same splats so it seems acceptable.

for IPv4 packets, ovs_fragment() uses a temporary struct dst_entry. Then,
in the following call graph:

  ip_do_fragment()
    ip_skb_dst_mtu()
      ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()
        ip_mtu_locked()

the pointer to struct dst_entry is used as pointer to struct rtable: this
turns the access to struct members like rt_mtu_locked into an OOB read in
the stack. Fix this changing the temporary variable used for IPv4 packets
in ovs_fragment(), similarly to what is done for IPv6 few lines below.
