mpls: fix clearing of dead nh_flags on link up

2017-05-31T18:48:24+00:00

recent fixes to use WRITE_ONCE for nh_flags on link up,
accidently ended up leaving the deadflags on a nh. This patch
fixes the WRITE_ONCE to use freshly evaluated nh_flags.

Fixes: 39eb8cd17588 ("net: mpls: rt_nhn_alive and nh_flags should be accessed using READ_ONCE")

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.

This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

net: rtnetlink: plumb extended ack to doit function

2017-04-17T19:35:38+00:00

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse
for doit functions that call it directly.

This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink.
>From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as
needed.

netlink: pass extended ACK struct to parsing functions

2017-04-13T17:58:22+00:00

Pass the new extended ACK reporting struct to all of the generic
netlink parsing functions. For now, pass NULL in almost all callers
(except for some in the core.)

net: mpls: Increase max number of labels for lwt encap

2017-04-02T03:21:44+00:00

Alow users to push down more labels per MPLS encap. Similar to LSR case,
move label array to the end of mpls_iptunnel_encap and allocate based on
the number of labels for the route.

For consistency with the LSR case, re-use the same maximum number of
labels.

net: mpls: bump maximum number of labels

2017-04-02T03:21:44+00:00

Allow users to push down more labels per MPLS route. With the previous
patches, no memory allocations are based on MAX_NEW_LABELS; the limit
is only used to keep userspace in check.

At this point MAX_NEW_LABELS is only used for mpls_route_config (copying
route data from userspace) and processing nexthops looking for the max
number of labels across the route spec.

net: mpls: change mpls_route layout

2017-04-02T03:21:44+00:00

Move labels to the end of mpls_nh as a 0-sized array and within mpls_route
move the via for a nexthop after the mpls_nh. The new layout becomes:

   +----------------------+
   | mpls_route           |
   +----------------------+
   | mpls_nh 0            |
   +----------------------+
   | alignment padding    |   4 bytes for odd number of labels; 0 for even
   +----------------------+
   | via[rt_max_alen] 0   |
   +----------------------+
   | alignment padding    |   via's aligned on sizeof(unsigned long)
   +----------------------+
   | ...                  |
   +----------------------+
   | mpls_nh n-1          |
   +----------------------+
   | via[rt_max_alen] n-1 |
   +----------------------+

Memory allocated for nexthop + via is constant across all nexthops and
their via. It is based on the maximum number of labels across all nexthops
and the maximum via length. The size is saved in the mpls_route as
rt_nh_size. Accessing a nexthop becomes rt->rt_nh + index * rt->rt_nh_size.

The offset of the via address from a nexthop is saved as rt_via_offset
so that given an mpls_nh pointer the via for that hop is simply
nh + rt->rt_via_offset.

With prior code, memory allocated per mpls_route with 1 nexthop:
     via is an ethernet address - 64 bytes
     via is an ipv4 address     - 64
     via is an ipv6 address     - 72

With this patch set, memory allocated per mpls_route with 1 nexthop and
1 or 2 labels:
     via is an ethernet address - 56 bytes
     via is an ipv4 address     - 56
     via is an ipv6 address     - 64

The 8-byte reduction is due to the previous patch; the change introduced
by this patch has no impact on the size of allocations for 1 or 2 labels.

Performance impact of this change was examined using network namespaces
with veth pairs connecting namespaces. ns0 inserts the packet to the
label-switched path using an lwt route with encap mpls. ns1 adds 1 or 2
labels depending on test, ns2 (and ns3 for 2-label test) pops the label
and forwards. ns3 (or ns4) for a 2-label is the destination. Similar
series of namespaces used for 2-nexthop test.

Intent is to measure changes to latency (overhead in manipulating the
packet) in the forwarding path. Tests used netperf with UDP_RR.

IPv4:                     current   patches
   1 label, 1 nexthop      29908     30115
   2 label, 1 nexthop      29071     29612
   1 label, 2 nexthop      29582     29776
   2 label, 2 nexthop      29086     29149

IPv6:                     current   patches
   1 label, 1 nexthop      24502     24960
   2 label, 1 nexthop      24041     24407
   1 label, 2 nexthop      23795     23899
   2 label, 2 nexthop      23074     22959

In short, the change has no effect to a modest increase in performance.
This is expected since this patch does not really have an impact on routes
with 1 or 2 labels (the current limit) and 1 or 2 nexthops.

net: mpls: Convert number of nexthops to u8

2017-04-02T03:21:44+00:00

Number of nexthops and number of alive nexthops are tracked using an
unsigned int. A route should never have more than 255 nexthops so
convert both to u8. Update all references and intermediate variables
to consistently use u8 as well.

Shrinks the size of mpls_route from 32 bytes to 24 bytes with a 2-byte
hole before the nexthops.

net: mpls: rt_nhn_alive and nh_flags should be accessed using READ_ONCE

2017-04-02T03:21:44+00:00

The number of alive nexthops for a route (rt->rt_nhn_alive) and the
flags for a next hop (nh->nh_flags) are modified by netdev event
handlers. The event handlers run with rtnl_lock held so updates are
always done with the lock held. The packet path accesses the fields
under the rcu lock. Since those fields can change at any moment in
the packet path, both fields should be accessed using READ_ONCE. Updates
to both fields should use WRITE_ONCE.

Update mpls_select_multipath (packet path) and mpls_ifdown and mpls_ifup
(event handlers) accordingly.
