<title>memcg: enable accounting for IP address and routing-related objects</title>

<id>6126891c6d4f6f4ef50323d2020635ee255a796e</id>
<content type='text'>
An netadmin inside container can use 'ip a a' and 'ip r a'
to assign a large number of ipv4/ipv6 addresses and routing entries
and force kernel to allocate megabytes of unaccounted memory
for long-lived per-netdevice related kernel objects:
'struct in_ifaddr', 'struct inet6_ifaddr', 'struct fib6_node',
'struct rt6_info', 'struct fib_rules' and ip_fib caches.

These objects can be manually removed, though usually they lives
in memory till destroy of its net namespace.

It makes sense to account for them to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

One of such objects is the 'struct fib6_node' mostly allocated in
net/ipv6/route.c::__ip6_ins_rt() inside the lock_bh()/unlock_bh() section:

 write_lock_bh(&amp;table-&gt;tb6_lock);
 err = fib6_add(&amp;table-&gt;tb6_root, rt, info, mxc);
 write_unlock_bh(&amp;table-&gt;tb6_lock);

In this case it is not enough to simply add SLAB_ACCOUNT to corresponding
kmem cache. The proper memory cgroup still cannot be found due to the
incorrect 'in_interrupt()' check used in memcg_kmem_bypass().

Obsoleted in_interrupt() does not describe real execution context properly.
&gt;From include/linux/preempt.h:

 The following macros are deprecated and should not be used in new code:
 in_interrupt()	- We're in NMI,IRQ,SoftIRQ context or have BH disabled

To verify the current execution context new macro should be used instead:
 in_task()	- We're in task context

<title>ipv6: Add a sysctl to control multipath hash fields</title>

<id>ed13923f980ef84dde0b9010b9e09052dc31a909</id>
<content type='text'>
A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet
fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space.
This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields.

The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between
IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both
protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037
 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037

To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the
'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields.

The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000
 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument

Commit 417f28bb3407 ("netns: dont alloc ipv6 fib timer list") removed

Syzbot reported the suspecious RCU usage in nexthop_fib6_nh() when
called from ipv6_route_seq_show(). The reason is ipv6_route_seq_start()
calls rcu_read_lock_bh(), while nexthop_fib6_nh() calls
rcu_dereference_rtnl().
The fix proposed is to add a variant of nexthop_fib6_nh() to use
rcu_dereference_bh_rtnl() for ipv6_route_seq_show().

The reported trace is as follows:
./include/net/nexthop.h:416 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

<content type='text'>
The function fib6_walk_continue() cannot return a positive value when
called from register_fib_notifier(), but ignoring causes static analyzer to
generate warnings in users of register_fib_notifier() that try to convert
returned error code to pointer with ERR_PTR(). Handle such case by
explicitly checking for positive error values and converting them to
-EINVAL in fib6_tables_dump().

The function fib6_walk_continue() cannot return a positive value when
called from register_fib_notifier(), but ignoring causes static analyzer to
generate warnings in users of register_fib_notifier() that try to convert
returned error code to pointer with ERR_PTR(). Handle such case by
explicitly checking for positive error values and converting them to
-EINVAL in fib6_tables_dump().

Route removal is handled by two code paths. The main removal path is via
fib6_del_route() which will handle purging any PMTU exceptions from the
cache, removing all per-cpu copies of the DST entry used by the route, and
releasing the fib6_info struct.

The second removal location is during fib6_add_rt2node() during a route
replacement operation. This path also calls fib6_purge_rt() to handle
cleaning up the per-cpu copies of the DST entries and releasing the
fib6_info associated with the older route, but it does not flush any PMTU
exceptions that the older route had. Since the older route is removed from
the tree during the replacement, we lose any way of accessing it again.

As these lingering DSTs and the fib6_info struct are holding references to
the underlying netdevice struct as well, unregistering that device from the
kernel can never complete.

Minor conflicts in net/mptcp/protocol.h and
tools/testing/selftests/net/Makefile.

In both cases code was added on both sides in the same place
so just keep both.
