Jakub Sitnicki says: ==================== Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option This patch set is a follow up to the "How to share IPv4 addresses by partitioning the port space" talk given at LPC 2022 [1]. Please see patch #1 for the motivation & the use case description. Patch #2 adds tests exercising the new option in various scenarios. Documentation ------------- Proposed update to the ip(7) man-page: IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE (since Linux X.Y) Set or get the per-socket default local port range. This option can be used to clamp down the global local port range, defined by the ip_local_port_range /proc interface described below, for a given socket. The option takes an uint32_t value with the high 16 bits set to the upper range bound, and the low 16 bits set to the lower range bound. Range bounds are inclusive. The 16-bit values should be in host byte order. The lower bound has to be less than the upper bound when both bounds are not zero. Otherwise, setting the option fails with EINVAL. If either bound is outside of the global local port range, or is zero, then that bound has no effect. To reset the setting, pass zero as both the upper and the lower bound. Interaction with SELinux bind() hook ------------------------------------ SELinux bind() hook - selinux_socket_bind() - performs a permission check if the requested local port number lies outside of the netns ephemeral port range. The proposed socket option cannot be used change the ephemeral port range to extend beyond the per-netns port range, as set by net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range. Hence, there is no interaction with SELinux, AFAICT. RFC -> v1 RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220912225308.93659-1-jakub@cloudflare.com/ * Allow either the high bound or the low bound, or both, to be zero * Add getsockopt support * Add selftests Links: ------ [1]: https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1349/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221221-sockopt-port-range-v6-0-be255cc0e51f@cloudflare.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Users who want to share a single public IP address for outgoing connections between several hosts traditionally reach for SNAT. However, SNAT requires state keeping on the node(s) performing the NAT. A stateless alternative exists, where a single IP address used for egress can be shared between several hosts by partitioning the available ephemeral port range. In such a setup: 1. Each host gets assigned a disjoint range of ephemeral ports. 2. Applications open connections from the host-assigned port range. 3. Return traffic gets routed to the host based on both, the destination IP and the destination port. An application which wants to open an outgoing connection (connect) from a given port range today can choose between two solutions: 1. Manually pick the source port by bind()'ing to it before connect()'ing the socket. This approach has a couple of downsides: a) Search for a free port has to be implemented in the user-space. If the chosen 4-tuple happens to be busy, the application needs to retry from a different local port number. Detecting if 4-tuple is busy can be either easy (TCP) or hard (UDP). In TCP case, the application simply has to check if connect() returned an error (EADDRNOTAVAIL). That is assuming that the local port sharing was enabled (REUSEADDR) by all the sockets. # Assume desired local port range is 60_000-60_511 s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1) s.bind(("192.0.2.1", 60_000)) s.connect(("1.1.1.1", 53)) # Fails only if 192.0.2.1:60000 -> 1.1.1.1:53 is busy # Application must retry with another local port In case of UDP, the network stack allows binding more than one socket to the same 4-tuple, when local port sharing is enabled (REUSEADDR). Hence detecting the conflict is much harder and involves querying sock_diag and toggling the REUSEADDR flag [1]. b) For TCP, bind()-ing to a port within the ephemeral port range means that no connecting sockets, that is those which leave it to the network stack to find a free local port at connect() time, can use the this port. IOW, the bind hash bucket tb->fastreuse will be 0 or 1, and the port will be skipped during the free port search at connect() time. 2. Isolate the app in a dedicated netns and use the use the per-netns ip_local_port_range sysctl to adjust the ephemeral port range bounds. The per-netns setting affects all sockets, so this approach can be used only if: - there is just one egress IP address, or - the desired egress port range is the same for all egress IP addresses used by the application. For TCP, this approach avoids the downsides of (1). Free port search and 4-tuple conflict detection is done by the network stack: system("sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range='60000 60511'") s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) s.setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT, 1) s.bind(("192.0.2.1", 0)) s.connect(("1.1.1.1", 53)) # Fails if all 4-tuples 192.0.2.1:60000-60511 -> 1.1.1.1:53 are busy For UDP this approach has limited applicability. Setting the IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT socket option does not result in local source port being shared with other connected UDP sockets. Hence relying on the network stack to find a free source port, limits the number of outgoing UDP flows from a single IP address down to the number of available ephemeral ports. To put it another way, partitioning the ephemeral port range between hosts using the existing Linux networking API is cumbersome. To address this use case, add a new socket option at the SOL_IP level, named IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE. The new option can be used to clamp down the ephemeral port range for each socket individually. The option can be used only to narrow down the per-netns local port range. If the per-socket range lies outside of the per-netns range, the latter takes precedence. UAPI-wise, the low and high range bounds are passed to the kernel as a pair of u16 values in host byte order packed into a u32. This avoids pointer passing. PORT_LO = 40_000 PORT_HI = 40_511 s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) v = struct.pack("I", PORT_HI << 16 | PORT_LO) s.setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE, v) s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0)) s.getsockname() # Local address between ("127.0.0.1", 40_000) and ("127.0.0.1", 40_511), # if there is a free port. EADDRINUSE otherwise.

In the following call path: ethnl_default_dumpit -> ethnl_default_dump_one -> ctx->ops->prepare_data -> pause_prepare_data struct genl_info *info will be passed as NULL, and pause_prepare_data() dereferences it while getting the extended ack pointer. To avoid that, just set the extack to NULL if "info" is NULL, since the netlink extack handling messages know how to deal with that. The pattern "info ? info->extack : NULL" is present in quite a few other "prepare_data" implementations, so it's clear that it's a more general problem to be dealt with at a higher level, but the code should have at least adhered to the current conventions to avoid the NULL dereference.

Jan Karcher says: ==================== drivers/s390/net/ism: Add generalized interface Previously, there was no clean separation between SMC-D code and the ISM device driver.This patch series addresses the situation to make ISM available for uses outside of SMC-D. In detail: SMC-D offers an interface via struct smcd_ops, which only the ISM module implements so far. However, there is no real separation between the smcd and ism modules, which starts right with the ISM device initialization, which calls directly into the SMC-D code. This patch series introduces a new API in the ISM module, which allows registration of arbitrary clients via include/linux/ism.h: struct ism_client. Furthermore, it introduces a "pure" struct ism_dev (i.e. getting rid of dependencies on SMC-D in the device structure), and adds a number of API calls for data transfers via ISM (see ism_register_dmb() & friends). Still, the ISM module implements the SMC-D API, and therefore has a number of internal helper functions for that matter. Note that the ISM API is consciously kept thin for now (as compared to the SMC-D API calls), as a number of API calls are only used with SMC-D and hardly have any meaningful usage beyond SMC-D, e.g. the VLAN-related calls. v1 -> v2: Removed s390x dependency which broke config for other archs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Conceptually, a DMB is a structure that belongs to ISM devices. However, SMC currently 'owns' this structure. So future exploiters of ISM devices would be forced to include SMC headers to work - which is just weird. Therefore, we switch ISM to struct ism_dmb, introduce a new public header with the definition (will be populated with further API calls later on), and, add a thin wrapper to please SMC. Since structs smcd_dmb and ism_dmb are identical, we can simply convert between the two for now.

The changes in this patch are as follows: - Alter the logic of get/set_eeprom functions to use the helper function nfp_app_from_netdev() which handles differentiating between an nfp_net and a nfp_repr. This allows us to get an agnostic backpointer to the pdev. - Enable the various eeprom commands by adding the 'get_eeprom_len', 'get_eeprom', 'set_eeprom' callbacks to the nfp_port_ethtool_ops struct. This allows the eeprom commands to work on representor interfaces, similar to a previous patch which added it to the vnics. Currently these are being used to configure persistent MAC addresses for the physical ports on the nfp.

William reports kernel soft-lockups on some OVS topologies when TC mirred egress->ingress action is hit by local TCP traffic [1]. The same can also be reproduced with SCTP (thanks Xin for verifying), when client and server reach themselves through mirred egress to ingress, and one of the two peers sends a "heartbeat" packet (from within a timer). Enqueueing to backlog proved to fix this soft lockup; however, as Cong noticed [2], we should preserve - when possible - the current mirred behavior that counts as "overlimits" any eventual packet drop subsequent to the mirred forwarding action [3]. A compromise solution might use the backlog only when tcf_mirred_act() has a nest level greater than one: change tcf_mirred_forward() accordingly. Also, add a kselftest that can reproduce the lockup and verifies TC mirred ability to account for further packet drops after TC mirred egress->ingress (when the nest level is 1).

with commit e2ca070f ("net: sched: protect against stack overflow in TC act_mirred"), act_mirred protected itself against excessive stack growth using per_cpu counter of nested calls to tcf_mirred_act(), and capping it to MIRRED_RECURSION_LIMIT. However, such protection does not detect recursion/loops in case the packet is enqueued to the backlog (for example, when the mirred target device has RPS or skb timestamping enabled). Change the wording from "recursion" to "nesting" to make it more clear to readers.
