net: extend drop reasons for multiple subsystems

2023-04-21T03:20:49+00:00

Extend drop reasons to make them usable by subsystems
other than core by reserving the high 16 bits for a
new subsystem ID, of which 0 of course is used for the
existing reasons immediately.

To still be able to have string reasons, restructure
that code a bit to make the loopup under RCU, the only
user of this (right now) is drop_monitor.

genetlink: introduce split op representation

2022-11-07T12:30:16+00:00

We currently have two forms of operations - small ops and "full" ops
(or just ops). The former does not have pointers for some of the less
commonly used features (namely dump start/done and policy).

The "full" ops, however, still don't contain all the necessary
information. In particular the policy is per command ID, while
do and dump often accept different attributes. It's also not
possible to define different pre_doit and post_doit callbacks
for different commands within the family.

At the same time a lot of commands do not support dumping and
therefore all the dump-related information is wasted space.

Create a new command representation which can hold info about
a do implementation or a dump implementation, but not both at
the same time.

Use this new representation on the command execution path
(genl_family_rcv_msg) as we either run a do or a dump and
don't have to create a "full" op there.

net: Remove the obsolte u64_stats_fetch_*_irq() users (net).

2022-10-29T03:13:54+00:00

Now that the 32bit UP oddity is gone and 32bit uses always a sequence
count, there is no need for the fetch_irq() variants anymore.

Convert to the regular interface.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.

One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.

To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

net: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-23T01:06:18+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

drop_monitor: adopt u64_stats_t

2022-06-10T04:53:12+00:00

As explained in commit 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
we should use u64_stats_t and related accessors to avoid load/store tearing.

net: rename reference+tracking helpers

2022-06-10T04:52:55+00:00

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.

Rename:
 dev_hold_track()    -> netdev_hold()
 dev_put_track()     -> netdev_put()
 dev_replace_track() -> netdev_ref_replace()

net: skb: use auto-generation to convert skb drop reason to string

2022-06-07T10:51:41+00:00

It is annoying to add new skb drop reasons to 'enum skb_drop_reason'
and TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON in trace/event/skb.h, and it's easy to forget
to add the new reasons we added to TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON.

TRACE_SKB_DROP_REASON is used to convert drop reason of type number
to string. For now, the string we passed to user space is exactly the
same as the name in 'enum skb_drop_reason' with a 'SKB_DROP_REASON_'
prefix. Therefore, we can use 'auto-generation' to generate these
drop reasons to string at build time.

The new source 'dropreason_str.c' will be auto generated during build
time, which contains the string array
'const char * const drop_reasons[]'.

net: dm: check the boundary of skb drop reasons

2022-05-16T09:47:43+00:00

The 'reason' will be set to 'SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED' if it not
small that SKB_DROP_REASON_MAX in net_dm_packet_trace_kfree_skb_hit(),
but it can't avoid it to be 0, which is invalid and can cause NULL
pointer in drop_reasons.

Therefore, reset it to SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED when 'reason <= 0'.

drop_monitor: remove quadratic behavior

2022-02-23T12:39:58+00:00

drop_monitor is using an unique list on which all netdevices in
the host have an element, regardless of their netns.

This scales poorly, not only at device unregister time (what I
caught during my netns dismantle stress tests), but also at packet
processing time whenever trace_napi_poll_hit() is called.

If the intent was to avoid adding one pointer in 'struct net_device'
then surely we prefer O(1) behavior.
