netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: reduce struct net memory waste

2018-06-18T12:13:25+00:00

It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6"
while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6
keeps growing.

Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment,
it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise
we spend a full cache line for this pointer.

This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.

ipv6: sr: Compute flowlabel for outer IPv6 header of seg6 encap mode

2018-04-25T17:02:15+00:00

ECMP (equal-cost multipath) hashes are typically computed on the packets'
5-tuple(src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, L4 proto).

For encapsulated packets, the L4 data is not readily available and ECMP
hashing will often revert to (src IP, dst IP). This will lead to traffic
polarization on a single ECMP path, causing congestion and waste of network
capacity.

In IPv6, the 20-bit flow label field is also used as part of the ECMP hash.
In the lack of L4 data, the hashing will be on (src IP, dst IP, flow
label). Having a non-zero flow label is thus important for proper traffic
load balancing when L4 data is unavailable (i.e., when packets are
encapsulated).

Currently, the seg6_do_srh_encap() function extracts the original packet's
flow label and set it as the outer IPv6 flow label. There are two issues
with this behaviour:

a) There is no guarantee that the inner flow label is set by the source.
b) If the original packet is not IPv6, the flow label will be set to
zero (e.g., IPv4 or L2 encap).

This patch adds a function, named seg6_make_flowlabel(), that computes a
flow label from a given skb. It supports IPv6, IPv4 and L2 payloads, and
leverages the per namespace 'seg6_flowlabel" sysctl value.

The currently support behaviours are as follows:
-1 set flowlabel to zero.
0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6
(Set flowlabel to 0 in case IPv4/L2)
1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel()

This patch has been tested for IPv6, IPv4, and L2 traffic.

ip6_null_entry will stay a dst based return for lookups that fail to

Add a new fib6_null_entry which constitutes the root node and leafs

In similar fashion to ipmr, support fib notifications for ip6mr mfc and
vif related events. This would later allow drivers to react to said

net/ipv6: Add support for path selection using hash of 5-tuple

2018-03-04T18:04:23+00:00

Some operators prefer IPv6 path selection to use a standard 5-tuple
hash rather than just an L3 hash with the flow the label. To that end
add support to IPv6 for multipath hash policy similar to bf4e0a3db97eb
("net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice"). The default
is still L3 which covers source and destination addresses along with
flow label and IPv6 protocol.

mroute*: Make mr_table a common struct

2018-03-01T18:13:23+00:00

Following previous changes to ip6mr, mr_table and mr6_table are
basically the same [up to mr6_table having additional '6' suffixes to
its variable names].
Move the common structure definition into a common header; This
requires renaming all references in ip6mr to variables that had the
distinct suffix.

ipv6: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it

2018-03-01T03:44:44+00:00

Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by
a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib
rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect
are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath
hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again.
icmp packets will continue to use inner header for hash

ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination options

2017-11-03T00:50:22+00:00

RFC 8200 (IPv6) defines Hop-by-Hop options and Destination options
extension headers. Both of these carry a list of TLVs which is
only limited by the maximum length of the extension header (2048
bytes). By the spec a host must process all the TLVs in these
options, however these could be used as a fairly obvious
denial of service attack. I think this could in fact be
a significant DOS vector on the Internet, one mitigating
factor might be that many FWs drop all packets with EH (and
obviously this is only IPv6) so an Internet wide attack might not
be so effective (yet!).

By my calculation, the worse case packet with TLVs in a standard
1500 byte MTU packet that would be processed by the stack contains
1282 invidual TLVs (including pad TLVS) or 724 two byte TLVs. I
wrote a quick test program that floods a whole bunch of these
packets to a host and sure enough there is substantial time spent
in ip6_parse_tlv. These packets contain nothing but unknown TLVS
(that are ignored), TLV padding, and bogus UDP header with zero
payload length.

   1.65%  [kernel]                    [k] dst_release

This patch adds configurable limits to Destination and Hop-by-Hop
options. There are three limits that may be set:
  - Limit the number of options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Limit the byte length of a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Disallow unrecognized options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination
    options extension header.

The limits are set in corresponding sysctls:

  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_len
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_len

If a max_*_opts_cnt is less than zero then unknown TLVs are disallowed.
The number of known TLVs that are allowed is the absolute value of
this number.

If a limit is exceeded when processing an extension header the packet is
dropped.

Default values are set to 8 for options counts, and set to INT_MAX
for maximum length. Note the choice to limit options to 8 is an
arbitrary guess (roughly based on the fact that the stack supports
three HBH options and just one destination option).

These limits have being proposed in draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis.

Tested (by Martin Lau)

I tested out 1 thread (i.e. one raw_udp process).

I changed the net.ipv6.max_dst_(opts|hbh)_number between 8 to 2048.
With sysctls setting to 2048, the softirq% is packed to 100%.
With 8, the softirq% is almost unnoticable from mpstat.

v2;
  - Code and documention cleanup.
  - Change references of RFC2460 to be RFC8200.
  - Add reference to RFC6434-bis where the limits will be in standard.
