net: Fix missing meta data in skb with vlan packet

2019-04-17T04:29:38+00:00

skb_reorder_vlan_header() should move XDP meta data with ethernet header
if XDP meta data exists.

net-gro: Fix GRO flush when receiving a GSO packet.

2019-04-04T04:40:52+00:00

Currently we may merge incorrectly a received GSO packet
or a packet with frag_list into a packet sitting in the
gro_hash list. skb_segment() may crash case because
the assumptions on the skb layout are not met.
The correct behaviour would be to flush the packet in the
gro_hash list and send the received GSO packet directly
afterwards. Commit d61d072e87c8e ("net-gro: avoid reorders")
sets NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush in this case, but this is not
checked before merging. This patch makes sure to check this
flag and to not merge in that case.

net: Do not allocate page fragments that are not skb aligned

2019-02-17T23:48:43+00:00

This patch addresses the fact that there are drivers, specifically tun,
that will call into the network page fragment allocators with buffer sizes
that are not cache aligned. Doing this could result in data alignment
and DMA performance issues as these fragment pools are also shared with the
skb allocator and any other devices that will use napi_alloc_frags or
netdev_alloc_frags.

net, skbuff: do not prefer skb allocation fails early

2019-01-04T20:53:16+00:00

Commit dcda9b04713c ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic") replaced __GFP_REPEAT in
alloc_skb_with_frags() with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL when the allocation may
directly reclaim.

The previous behavior would require reclaim up to 1 << order pages for
skb aligned header_len of order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER before failing,
otherwise the allocations in alloc_skb() would loop in the page allocator
looking for memory. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL makes both allocations failable
under memory pressure, including for the HEAD allocation.

This can cause, among many other things, write() to fail with ENOTCONN
during RPC when under memory pressure.

These allocations should succeed as they did previous to dcda9b04713c
even if it requires calling the oom killer and additional looping in the
page allocator to find memory. There is no way to specify the previous
behavior of __GFP_REPEAT, but it's unlikely to be necessary since the
previous behavior only guaranteed that 1 << order pages would be reclaimed
before failing for order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. That reclaim is not
guaranteed to be contiguous memory, so repeating for such large orders is
usually not beneficial.

Removing the setting of __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to restore the previous
behavior, specifically not allowing alloc_skb() to fail for small orders
and oom kill if necessary rather than allowing RPCs to fail.

net: minor cleanup in skb_ext_add()

2018-12-21T18:24:54+00:00

When the extension to be added is already present, the only
skb field we may need to update is 'extensions': we can reorder
the code and avoid a branch.

v1 -> v2:

net: fix possible user-after-free in skb_ext_add()

2018-12-21T18:24:54+00:00

On cow we can free the old extension: we must avoid dereferencing
such extension after skb_ext_maybe_cow(). Since 'new' contents
are always equal to 'old' after the copy, we can fix the above
accessing the relevant data using 'new'.

net: switch secpath to use skb extension infrastructure

2018-12-19T19:21:38+00:00

Remove skb->sp and allocate secpath storage via extension
infrastructure.  This also reduces sk_buff by 8 bytes on x86_64.

Total size of allyesconfig kernel is reduced slightly, as there is
less inlined code (one conditional atomic op instead of two on
skb_clone).

No differences in throughput in following ipsec performance tests:
- transport mode with aes on 10GB link
- tunnel mode between two network namespaces with aes and null cipher

net: convert bridge_nf to use skb extension infrastructure

This converts the bridge netfilter (calling iptables hooks from bridge)
facility to use the extension infrastructure.

The bridge_nf specific hooks in skb clone and free paths are removed, they
have been replaced by the skb_ext hooks that do the same as the bridge nf
allocations hooks did.

sk_buff: add skb extension infrastructure

2018-12-19T19:21:37+00:00

This adds an optional extension infrastructure, with ispec (xfrm) and
bridge netfilter as first users.
objdiff shows no changes if kernel is built without xfrm and br_netfilter
support.

The third (planned future) user is Multipath TCP which is still
out-of-tree.
MPTCP needs to map logical mptcp sequence numbers to the tcp sequence
numbers used by individual subflows.

This DSS mapping is read/written from tcp option space on receive and
written to tcp option space on transmitted tcp packets that are part of
and MPTCP connection.

Extending skb_shared_info or adding a private data field to skb fclones
doesn't work for incoming skb, so a different DSS propagation method would
be required for the receive side.

mptcp has same requirements as secpath/bridge netfilter:

1. extension memory is released when the sk_buff is free'd.
2. data is shared after cloning an skb (clone inherits extension)
3. adding extension to an skb will COW the extension buffer if needed.

The "MPTCP upstreaming" effort adds SKB_EXT_MPTCP extension to store the
mapping for tx and rx processing.

Two new members are added to sk_buff:
1. 'active_extensions' byte (filling a hole), telling which extensions
   are available for this skb.
   This has two purposes.
   a) avoids the need to initialize the pointer.
   b) allows to "delete" an extension by clearing its bit
   value in ->active_extensions.

   While it would be possible to store the active_extensions byte
   in the extension struct instead of sk_buff, there is one problem
   with this:
    When an extension has to be disabled, we can always clear the
    bit in skb->active_extensions.  But in case it would be stored in the
    extension buffer itself, we might have to COW it first, if
    we are dealing with a cloned skb.  On kmalloc failure we would
    be unable to turn an extension off.

2. extension pointer, located at the end of the sk_buff.
   If the active_extensions byte is 0, the pointer is undefined,
   it is not initialized on skb allocation.

This adds extra code to skb clone and free paths (to deal with
refcount/free of extension area) but this replaces similar code that
manages skb->nf_bridge and skb->sp structs in the followup patches of
the series.

It is possible to add support for extensions that are not preseved on
clones/copies.

To do this, it would be needed to define a bitmask of all extensions that
need copy/cow semantics, and change __skb_ext_copy() to check
->active_extensions & SKB_EXT_PRESERVE_ON_CLONE, then just set
->active_extensions to 0 on the new clone.

This isn't done here because all extensions that get added here
need the copy/cow semantics.

v2:
Allocate entire extension space using kmem_cache.
Upside is that this allows better tracking of used memory,
downside is that we will allocate more space than strictly needed in
most cases (its unlikely that all extensions are active/needed at same
time for same skb).
The allocated memory (except the small extension header) is not cleared,
so no additonal overhead aside from memory usage.

Avoid atomic_dec_and_test operation on skb_ext_put()
by using similar trick as kfree_skbmem() does with fclone_ref:
If recount is 1, there is no concurrent user and we can free right away.

skbuff: Rename 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' to 'offload_l3_fwd_mark'

2018-12-04T16:36:36+00:00

Commit abf4bb6b63d0 ("skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark field") added
the 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' field to indicate that a packet has already
undergone L3 multicast routing by a capable device. The field is used to
prevent the kernel from forwarding a packet through a netdev through
which the device has already forwarded the packet.

Currently, no unicast packet is routed by both the device and the
kernel, but this is about to change by subsequent patches and we need to
be able to mark such packets, so that they will no be forwarded twice.

Instead of adding yet another field to 'struct sk_buff', we can just
rename 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' to 'offload_l3_fwd_mark', as a packet
either has a multicast or a unicast destination IP.

While at it, add a comment about both 'offload_fwd_mark' and
'offload_l3_fwd_mark'.
