[ Upstream commit 8a574f86652a4540a2433946ba826ccb87f398cc ]

If we can't build the flow del notification, we can simply delete
the flow, no need to crash the kernel. Still keep a WARN_ON to
preserve debuggability.

Note: the BUG_ON() predates the Fixes tag, but this change
can be applied only after the mentioned commit.

v1 -&gt; v2:
 - do not leak an skb on error

[ Upstream commit 4e81c0b3fa93d07653e2415fa71656b080a112fd ]

When user-space sets the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags, and the relevant
flow has no UFID, we can exceed the computed size, as
ovs_nla_put_identifier() will always dump an OVS_FLOW_ATTR_KEY
attribute.
Take the above in account when computing the flow command message
size.

<title>netns: fix GFP flags in rtnl_net_notifyid()</title>

[ Upstream commit d4e4fdf9e4a27c87edb79b1478955075be141f67 ]

In rtnl_net_notifyid(), we certainly can't pass a null GFP flag to
rtnl_notify(). A GFP_KERNEL flag would be fine in most circumstances,
but there are a few paths calling rtnl_net_notifyid() from atomic
context or from RCU critical sections. The later also precludes the use
of gfp_any() as it wouldn't detect the RCU case. Also, the nlmsg_new()
call is wrong too, as it uses GFP_KERNEL unconditionally.

Therefore, we need to pass the GFP flags as parameter and propagate it
through function calls until the proper flags can be determined.

In most cases, GFP_KERNEL is fine. The exceptions are:
  * openvswitch: ovs_vport_cmd_get() and ovs_vport_cmd_dump()
    indirectly call rtnl_net_notifyid() from RCU critical section,

  * rtnetlink: rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() already receives GFP flags as
    parameter.

Also, in ovs_vport_cmd_build_info(), let's change the GFP flags used
by nlmsg_new(). The function is allowed to sleep, so better make the
flags consistent with the ones used in the following
ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info() call.

Found by code inspection.

<title>treewide: kmalloc() -&gt; kmalloc_array()</title>

<id>6da2ec56059c3c7a7e5f729e6349e74ace1e5c57</id>
<content type='text'>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

<pre>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

<title>openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit</title>

<id>11efd5cb04a184eea4f57b68ea63dddd463158d1</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of
conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace.
For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace,
they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries
for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max.  In this
case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries,
it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the
conntrack table.  Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network
namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid
that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack
entries.

To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a
fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries
per-zone.  For example, we can designate different zone to different VM,
and set conntrack limit to each zone.  By providing this isolation, a
mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and
it will not influence other well-behaved VMs.  Moreover, the users can
set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference.

The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend
to count the number of connections in a particular zone.  If the number of
connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the
userspace.  If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit
defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to
the behavior without this patch.

The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace:
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET:
    * set default connection limit for all zones
    * set the connection limit for a particular zone
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL:
    * remove the connection limit for a particular zone
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET:
    * get the default connection limit for all zones
    * get the connection limit for a particular zone

<title>ovs: Remove rtnl_lock() from ovs_exit_net()</title>

Here we iterate for_each_net() and removes
vport from alive net to the exiting net.

ovs_net::dps are protected by ovs_mutex(),
and the others, who change it (ovs_dp_cmd_new(),
__dp_destroy()) also take it.
The same with datapath::ports list.

So, we remove rtnl_lock() here.

<title>net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list</title>

rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high.
When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces,
he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock.
But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill,
and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already
for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(),
and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need
really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu()
is not fit there.

This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is
sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net
namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock()
in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes
less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock,
while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are
in next patches.

Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock,
so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation
allows that.
