tcp: Add memory barrier to tcp_push()

2024-01-23T09:22:31+00:00

On CPUs with weak memory models, reads and updates performed by tcp_push
to the sk variables can get reordered leaving the socket throttled when
it should not. The tasklet running tcp_wfree() may also not observe the
memory updates in time and will skip flushing any packets throttled by
tcp_push(), delaying the sending. This can pathologically cause 40ms
extra latency due to bad interactions with delayed acks.

Adding a memory barrier in tcp_push removes the bug, similarly to the
previous commit bf06200e732d ("tcp: tsq: fix nonagle handling").
smp_mb__after_atomic() is used to not incur in unnecessary overhead
on x86 since not affected.

Patch has been tested using an AWS c7g.2xlarge instance with Ubuntu
22.04 and Apache Tomcat 9.0.83 running the basic servlet below:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {
    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=utf-8");
        OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream(),"UTF-8");
        String s = "a".repeat(3096);
        osw.write(s,0,s.length());
        osw.flush();
    }
}

Load was applied using wrk2 (https://github.com/kinvolk/wrk2) from an AWS
c6i.8xlarge instance. Before the patch an additional 40ms latency from P99.99+
values is observed while, with the patch, the extra latency disappears.

When the socket receives the ACK packet during the three-way handshake,
it will hold spinlock. And then the user actively shutdowns the socket
and listens to the socket immediately, the spinlock will be initialized.
When the socket is going to release the spinlock, a warning is generated.
Also the same issue to fastopenq.lock.

Move init spinlock to inet_create and inet_accept to make sure init the
accept_queue's spinlocks once.

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following batch contains Netfilter fixes for net. Slightly larger
than usual because this batch includes several patches to tighten the
nf_tables control plane to reject inconsistent configuration:

1) Restrict NFTA_SET_POLICY to NFT_SET_POL_PERFORMANCE and
   NFT_SET_POL_MEMORY.

2) Bail out if a nf_tables expression registers more than 16 netlink
   attributes which is what struct nft_expr_info allows.

3) Bail out if NFT_EXPR_STATEFUL provides no .clone interface, remove
   existing fallback to memcpy() when cloning which might accidentally
   duplicate memory reference to the same object.

4) Fix br_netfilter interaction with neighbour layer. This requires
   three preparation patches:

   - Use nf_bridge_get_physinif() in nfnetlink_log
   - Use nf_bridge_info_exists() to check in br_netfilter context
     is available in nf_queue.
   - Pass net to nf_bridge_get_physindev()

   And finally, the fix which replaces physindev with physinif
   in nf_bridge_info.

   Patches from Pavel Tikhomirov.

5) Catch-all deactivation happens in the transaction, hence this
   oneliner to check for the next generation. This bug uncovered after
   the removal of the _BUSY bit, which happened in set elements back in
   summer 2023.

6) Ensure set (total) key length size and concat field length description
   is consistent, otherwise bail out.

7) Skip set element with the _DEAD flag on from the netlink dump path.
   A tests occasionally shows that dump is mismatching because GC might
   lose race to get rid of this element while a netlink dump is in
   progress.

8) Reject NFT_SET_CONCAT for field_count < 1.

9) Use IP6_INC_STATS in ipvs to fix preemption BUG splat, patch
   from Fedor Pchelkin.

netfilter: bridge: replace physindev with physinif in nf_bridge_info

2024-01-17T11:02:49+00:00

An skb can be added to a neigh->arp_queue while waiting for an arp
reply. Where original skb's skb->dev can be different to neigh's
neigh->dev. For instance in case of bridging dnated skb from one veth to
another, the skb would be added to a neigh->arp_queue of the bridge.

As skb->dev can be reset back to nf_bridge->physindev and used, and as
there is no explicit mechanism that prevents this physindev from been
freed under us (for instance neigh_flush_dev doesn't cleanup skbs from
different device's neigh queue) we can crash on e.g. this stack:

arp_process
  neigh_update
    skb = __skb_dequeue(&neigh->arp_queue)
      neigh_resolve_output(..., skb)
        ...
          br_nf_dev_xmit
            br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow
              skb->dev = nf_bridge->physindev
              br_handle_frame_finish

Let's use plain ifindex instead of net_device link. To peek into the
original net_device we will use dev_get_by_index_rcu(). Thus either we
get device and are safe to use it or we don't get it and drop skb.

bpf: Avoid iter->offset making backward progress in bpf_iter_udp

2024-01-13T19:01:44+00:00

There is a bug in the bpf_iter_udp_batch() function that stops
the userspace from making forward progress.

The case that triggers the bug is the userspace passed in
a very small read buffer. When the bpf prog does bpf_seq_printf,
the userspace read buffer is not enough to capture the whole bucket.

When the read buffer is not large enough, the kernel will remember
the offset of the bucket in iter->offset such that the next userspace
read() can continue from where it left off.

The kernel will skip the number (== "iter->offset") of sockets in
the next read(). However, the code directly decrements the
"--iter->offset". This is incorrect because the next read() may
not consume the whole bucket either and then the next-next read()
will start from offset 0. The net effect is the userspace will
keep reading from the beginning of a bucket and the process will
never finish. "iter->offset" must always go forward until the
whole bucket is consumed.

This patch fixes it by using a local variable "resume_offset"
and "resume_bucket". "iter->offset" is always reset to 0 before
it may be used. "iter->offset" will be advanced to the
"resume_offset" when it continues from the "resume_bucket" (i.e.
"state->bucket == resume_bucket"). This brings it closer to
the bpf_iter_tcp's offset handling which does not suffer
the same bug.

bpf: iter_udp: Retry with a larger batch size without going back to the previous bucket

2024-01-13T19:01:44+00:00

The current logic is to use a default size 16 to batch the whole bucket.
If it is too small, it will retry with a larger batch size.

The current code accidentally does a state->bucket-- before retrying.
This goes back to retry with the previous bucket which has already
been done. This patch fixed it.

It is hard to create a selftest. I added a WARN_ON(state->bucket < 0),
forced a particular port to be hashed to the first bucket,
created >16 sockets, and observed the for-loop went back
to the "-1" bucket.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core & protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

Pull header cleanups from Kent Overstreet:
 "The goal is to get sched.h down to a type only header, so the main
  thing happening in this patchset is splitting out various _types.h
  headers and dependency fixups, as well as moving some things out of
  sched.h to better locations.

  This is prep work for the memory allocation profiling patchset which
  adds new sched.h interdepencencies"
