This adds a global netfilter function to extract a conntrack tuple from an skb. The function uses a new function added to nf_ct_hook, which will try to get the tuple from skb->_nfct, and do a full lookup if that fails. This makes it possible to use the lookup function before the skb has passed through the conntrack init hooks (e.g., in an ingress qdisc). The tuple is copied to the caller to avoid issues with reference counting. The function returns false if conntrack is not loaded, allowing it to be used without incurring a module dependency on conntrack. This is used by the NAT mode in sch_cake.

The ACK filter is an optional feature of CAKE which is designed to improve performance on links with very asymmetrical rate limits. On such links (which are unfortunately quite prevalent, especially for DSL and cable subscribers), the downstream throughput can be limited by the number of ACKs capable of being transmitted in the *upstream* direction. Filtering ACKs can, in general, have adverse effects on TCP performance because it interferes with ACK clocking (especially in slow start), and it reduces the flow's resiliency to ACKs being dropped further along the path. To alleviate these drawbacks, the ACK filter in CAKE tries its best to always keep enough ACKs queued to ensure forward progress in the TCP flow being filtered. It does this by only filtering redundant ACKs. In its default 'conservative' mode, the filter will always keep at least two redundant ACKs in the queue, while in 'aggressive' mode, it will filter down to a single ACK. The ACK filter works by inspecting the per-flow queue on every packet enqueue. Starting at the head of the queue, the filter looks for another eligible packet to drop (so the ACK being dropped is always closer to the head of the queue than the packet being enqueued). An ACK is eligible only if it ACKs *fewer* bytes than the new packet being enqueued, including any SACK options. This prevents duplicate ACKs from being filtered, to avoid interfering with retransmission logic. In addition, we check TCP header options and only drop those that are known to not interfere with sender state. In particular, packets with unknown option codes are never dropped. In aggressive mode, an eligible packet is always dropped, while in conservative mode, at least two ACKs are kept in the queue. Only pure ACKs (with no data segments) are considered eligible for dropping, but when an ACK with data segments is enqueued, this can cause another pure ACK to become eligible for dropping. The approach described above ensures that this ACK filter avoids most of the drawbacks of a naive filtering mechanism that only keeps flow state but does not inspect the queue. This is the rationale for including the ACK filter in CAKE itself rather than as separate module (as the TC filter, for instance). Our performance evaluation has shown that on a 30/1 Mbps link with a bidirectional traffic test (RRUL), turning on the ACK filter on the upstream link improves downstream throughput by ~20% (both modes) and upstream throughput by ~12% in conservative mode and ~40% in aggressive mode, at the cost of ~5ms of inter-flow latency due to the increased congestion. In *really* pathological cases, the effect can be a lot more; for instance, the ACK filter increases the achievable downstream throughput on a link with 100 Kbps in the upstream direction by an order of magnitude (from ~2.5 Mbps to ~25 Mbps). Finally, even though we consider the ACK filter to be safer than most, we do not recommend turning it on everywhere: on more symmetrical link bandwidths the effect is negligible at best.

The ingress mode is meant to be enabled when CAKE runs downlink of the actual bottleneck (such as on an IFB device). The mode changes the shaper to also account dropped packets to the shaped rate, as these have already traversed the bottleneck. Enabling ingress mode will also tune the AQM to always keep at least two packets queued *for each flow*. This is done by scaling the minimum queue occupancy level that will disable the AQM by the number of active bulk flows. The rationale for this is that retransmits are more expensive in ingress mode, since dropped packets have to traverse the bottleneck again when they are retransmitted; thus, being more lenient and keeping a minimum number of packets queued will improve throughput in cases where the number of active flows are so large that they saturate the bottleneck even at their minimum window size. This commit also adds a separate switch to enable ingress mode rate autoscaling. If enabled, the autoscaling code will observe the actual traffic rate and adjust the shaper rate to match it. This can help avoid latency increases in the case where the actual bottleneck rate decreases below the shaped rate. The scaling filters out spikes by an EWMA filter. Signed-off-by:

sch_cake targets the home router use case and is intended to squeeze the most bandwidth and latency out of even the slowest ISP links and routers, while presenting an API simple enough that even an ISP can configure it. Example of use on a cable ISP uplink: tc qdisc add dev eth0 cake bandwidth 20Mbit nat docsis ack-filter To shape a cable download link (ifb and tc-mirred setup elided) tc qdisc add dev ifb0 cake bandwidth 200mbit nat docsis ingress wash CAKE is filled with: * A hybrid Codel/Blue AQM algorithm, "Cobalt", tied to an FQ_Codel derived Flow Queuing system, which autoconfigures based on the bandwidth. * A novel "triple-isolate" mode (the default) which balances per-host and per-flow FQ even through NAT. * An deficit based shaper, that can also be used in an unlimited mode. * 8 way set associative hashing to reduce flow collisions to a minimum. * A reasonable interpretation of various diffserv latency/loss tradeoffs. * Support for zeroing diffserv markings for entering and exiting traffic. * Support for interacting well with Docsis 3.0 shaper framing. * Extensive support for DSL framing types. * Support for ack filtering. * Extensive statistics for measuring, loss, ecn markings, latency variation. A paper describing the design of CAKE is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07617, and will be published at the 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN). This patch adds the base shaper and packet scheduler, while subsequent commits add the optional (configurable) features. The full userspace API and most data structures are included in this commit, but options not understood in the base version will be ignored. Various versions baking have been available as an out of tree build for kernel versions going back to 3.10, as the embedded router world has been running a few years behind mainline Linux. A stable version has been generally available on lede-17.01 and later. sch_cake replaces a combination of iptables, tc filter, htb and fq_codel in the sqm-scripts, with sane defaults and vastly simpler configuration. CAKE's principal author is Jonathan Morton, with contributions from Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant, Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, Sebastian Moeller, Ryan Mounce, Tony Ambardar, Dean Scarff, Nils Andreas Svee, Dave Täht, and Loganaden Velvindron.

aIdo Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: More Spectrum-2 preparations This is the second and last set of preparations towards initial Spectrum-2 support in mlxsw. It mainly re-arranges parts of the code that need to work with both ASICs, but somewhat differ. The first three patches allow different ASICs to register different set of operations for KVD linear (KVDL) management. In Spectrum-2 there is no linear memory and instead entries that reside there in Spectrum (e.g., nexthops) are hashed and inserted to the hash-based KVD memory. The fourth patch does a similar restructuring in the low-level multicast router code. This is necessary because multicast routing is implemented using regular circuit TCAM (C-TCAM) in Spectrum, whereas Spectrum-2 uses an algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM). Next six patches prepare the ACL code for the introduction of A-TCAM in follow-up patch sets. Last two patches allow different ASICs to require different firmware versions and add two resources that need to be queried from firmware by Spectrum-2 specific code. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

In Spectrum-2 there is a different implementation of KVD linear management. Unlike in Spectrum where there is a single index space, in Spectrum-2 the indexes are per-resource. Also there is need to explicitly tell HW that an entry is no longer used.

Vlad Buslov says: ==================== Modify action API for implementing lockless actions Currently, all netlink protocol handlers for updating rules, actions and qdiscs are protected with single global rtnl lock which removes any possibility for parallelism. This patch set is a first step to remove rtnl lock dependency from TC rules update path. Recently, new rtnl registration flag RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED was added. Handlers registered with this flag are called without RTNL taken. End goal is to have rule update handlers(RTM_NEWTFILTER, RTM_DELTFILTER, etc.) to be registered with UNLOCKED flag to allow parallel execution. However, there is no intention to completely remove or split rtnl lock itself. This patch set addresses specific problems in action API that prevents it from being executed concurrently. This patch set does not completely unlock rules or actions update path. Additional patch sets are required to refactor individual actions and filters update for parallel execution. As a preparation for executing TC rules update handlers without rtnl lock, action API code was audited to determine areas that assume external synchronization with rtnl lock and must be changed to allow safe concurrent access with following results: 1. Action idr is already protected with spinlock. However, some code paths assume that idr state is not changes between several consecutive tcf_idr_* function calls. 2. tc_action reference and bind counters are implemented as plain integers. They purpose was to allow single actions to be shared between multiple filters, not to provide means for concurrent modification. 3. tc_action 'cookie' pointer field is not protected against modification. 4. Action API functions, that work with set of actions, use intrusive linked list, which cannot be used concurrently without additional synchronization. 5. Action API functions don't take reference to actions while using them, assuming external synchronization with rtnl lock. Following solutions to these problems are implemented: 1. To remove assumption that idr state doesn't change between tcf_idr_* calls, implement new functions that atomically perform several operations on idr without releasing idr spinlock. (function to atomically lookup and delete action by index, function to atomically check if action exists and allocate new one if necessary, etc.) 2. Use atomic operations on counters to make them suitable for concurrent get/put operations. 3. Data that 'cookie' points to is never modified, so it enough to refactor it to rcu pointer to prevent concurrent de-allocation. 4. Action API doesn't actually use any linked list specific operations on actions intrusive linked list, so it can be refactored to array in straightforward manner. 5. Always take reference to action while accessing it in action API. tcf_idr_search function modified to take reference to action before returning it, so there is no way to lookup an action without incrementing its reference counter. All users of this function are modified to release the reference, after they done using action. With all users using reference counting, it is now safe to concurrently delete actions. Additionally, actions init function signature was expanded with 'rtnl_held' argument, that allows actions that have internal dependency on rtnl lock to take/release it when necessary. Since only shared state in action API module are actions themselves and action idr, these changes are sufficient to not to rely on global rtnl lock for protection of internal action API data structures. Changes from V5 to V6: - Rebase on current net-next - When action is deleted, set pointer in actions array to NULL to prevent double freeing. Changes from V4 to V5: - Change action delete API to track actions that were deleted, to prevent releasing them on error. Changes from V3 to V4: - Expand cover letter. - Reduce actions array size in tcf_action_init_1. - Rebase on latest net-next.

Changes from V1 to V2: - Removed redundant actions ops lookup during delete. - Merge action ops delete definition and implementation. - Assume all actions have delete implemented and don't check for it explicitly. - Resplit action lookup/release code to prevent memory leaks in individual patches. - Make __tcf_idr_check function static - Remove unique idr insertion function. Change original idr insert to do the same thing. - Merge changes that take reference to action when performing lookup and changes that account for this additional reference when dumping action to user space into single patch. - Change convoluted commit message. - Rename "unlocked" to "rtnl_held" for clarity. - Remove estimator lock add patch. - Refactor action check-alloc code into standalone function. - Rename tcf_idr_find_delete to tcf_idr_delete_index. - Rearrange variable definitions in tc_action_delete. - Add patch that refactors action API code to use array of pointers to actions instead of intrusive linked list. - Expand cover letter. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Act API used linked list to pass set of actions to functions. It is intrusive data structure that stores list nodes inside action structure itself, which means it is not safe to modify such list concurrently.

Return from action init function with reference to action taken, even when overwriting existing action. Action init API initializes its fourth argument (pointer to pointer to tc action) to either existing action with same index or newly created action. In case of existing index(and bind argument is zero), init function returns without incrementing action reference counter. Caller of action init then proceeds working with action, without actually holding reference to it. This means that action could be deleted concurrently. Change action init behavior to always take reference to action before returning successfully, in order to protect from concurrent deletion. Reviewed-by:
