Several conflicts here. NFP driver bug fix adding nfp_netdev_is_nfp_repr() check to nfp_fl_output() needed some adjustments because the code block is in an else block now. Parallel additions to net/pkt_cls.h and net/sch_generic.h A bug fix in __tcp_retransmit_skb() conflicted with some of the rbtree changes in net-next. The tc action RCU callback fixes in 'net' had some overlap with some of the recent tcf_block reworking. Signed-off-by:David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Cong Wang says: ==================== net_sched: fix races with RCU callbacks Recently, the RCU callbacks used in TC filters and TC actions keep drawing my attention, they introduce at least 4 race condition bugs: 1. A simple one fixed by Daniel: commit c78e1746 Author: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Date: Wed May 20 17:13:33 2015 +0200 net: sched: fix call_rcu() race on classifier module unloads 2. A very nasty one fixed by me: commit 1697c4bb Author: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Date: Mon Sep 11 16:33:32 2017 -0700 net_sched: carefully handle tcf_block_put() 3. Two more bugs found by Chris: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/826696/ https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/826695/ Usually RCU callbacks are simple, however for TC filters and actions, they are complex because at least TC actions could be destroyed together with the TC filter in one callback. And RCU callbacks are invoked in BH context, without locking they are parallel too. All of these contribute to the cause of these nasty bugs. Alternatively, we could also: a) Introduce a spinlock to serialize these RCU callbacks. But as I said in commit 1697c4bb ("net_sched: carefully handle tcf_block_put()"), it is very hard to do because of tcf_chain_dump(). Potentially we need to do a lot of work to make it possible (if not impossible). b) Just get rid of these RCU callbacks, because they are not necessary at all, callers of these call_rcu() are all on slow paths and holding RTNL lock, so blocking is allowed in their contexts. However, David and Eric dislike adding synchronize_rcu() here. As suggested by Paul, we could defer the work to a workqueue and gain the permission of holding RTNL again without any performance impact, however, in tcf_block_put() we could have a deadlock when flushing workqueue while hodling RTNL lock, the trick here is to defer the work itself in workqueue and make it queued after all other works so that we keep the same ordering to avoid any use-after-free. Please see the first patch for details. Patch 1 introduces the infrastructure, patch 2~12 move each tc filter to the new tc filter workqueue, patch 13 adds an assertion to catch potential bugs like this, patch 14 closes another rcu callback race, patch 15 and patch 16 add new test cases. ==================== Reported-by:

In this patchset, we fixed a tc bug. This patch adds the test case that reproduces the bug. To run this test case, user should specify an existing NIC device: # sudo ./tdc.py -d enp4s0f0 This test case belongs to category "flower". If user doesn't specify a NIC device, the test cases belong to "flower" will not be run. In this test case, we create 1M filters and all filters share the same action. When destroying all filters, kernel should not panic. It takes about 18s to run it. Acked-by:

Cong Wang authored
This patch introduces a dedicated workqueue for tc filters so that each tc filter's RCU callback could defer their action destroy work to this workqueue. The helper tcf_queue_work() is introduced for them to use. Because we hold RTNL lock when calling tcf_block_put(), we can not simply flush works inside it, therefore we have to defer it again to this workqueue and make sure all flying RCU callbacks have already queued their work before this one, in other words, to ensure this is the last one to execute to prevent any use-after-free. On the other hand, this makes tcf_block_put() ugly and harder to understand. Since David and Eric strongly dislike adding synchronize_rcu(), this is probably the only solution that could make everyone happy. Please also see the code comments below. Reported-by:

Mahesh Bandewar says: ==================== add 'private' and 'vepa' attributes to ipvlan modes IPvlan has always been operating in bridge-mode for its supported modes i.e. if the packets are destined to the adjacent neighbor dev, then IPvlan driver will switch the packet internally without needing the packets to hit the wire or get routed. However, there are situations where this bridge-mode is not needed. e.g. two private processes running inside two namespaces which are having one IPvlan slave each for its namespace but sharing the master. These processes should reach the outside world through the master device but at the same time the bridge function should not work. Currently that's not possible hence the private attribute for the selected mode comes in play. VEPA or 802.1Qbg on the other hand has limited appeal with IPvlan since IPvlan uses the mac-address of the lower device. So packets that are destined to the adjacent neighbor slave-dev will have same src and dest mac. When these packets reach the external switch/router, they will send you the redirect message which the host will have to deal with. Having said that this attribute will have appeal in debugging as IPvlan will not switch / short-circuit packets internally. e.g. using VEPA mode with lower-device in loopback mode will avoid some complicated set-ups that use non-local-bind with some route jugglery. This patch-set implements these attributes for the existing modes that IPvlan has. Please see individual patches for their detailed implementation. A subsequent ip-utils patch is needed and will be sent soon. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This is very similar to the Macvlan VEPA mode, however, there is some difference. IPvlan uses the mac-address of the lower device, so the VEPA mode has implications of ICMP-redirects for packets destined for its immediate neighbors sharing same master since the packets will have same source and dest mac. The external switch/router will send redirect msg. Having said that, this will be useful tool in terms of debugging since IPvlan will not switch packets within its slaves and rely completely on the external entity as intended in 802.1Qbg.

IPvlan has always operated in bridge mode. However there are scenarios where each slave should be able to talk through the master device but not necessarily across each other. Think of an environment where each of a namespace is a private and independant customer. In this scenario the machine which is hosting these namespaces neither want to tell who their neighbor is nor the individual namespaces care to talk to neighbor on short-circuited network path. This patch implements the mode that is very similar to the 'private' mode in macvlan where individual slaves can send and receive traffic through the master device, just that they can not talk among slave devices.

Add a completion file for bash. The completion function runs bpftool when needed, making it smart enough to help users complete ids or tags for eBPF programs and maps currently on the system. Update Makefile to install completion file to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions when running `make install`. Emacs file mode and (at the end) Vim modeline have been added, to keep the style in use for most existing bash completion files. In this, it differs from tools/perf/perf-completion.sh, which seems to be the only other completion file among the kernel sources repository. This is also valid for indent style: 4-space indents, as in other completion files. Signed-off-by:

Davide found the following script triggers a NULL pointer dereference: ip l a name eth0 type dummy tc q a dev eth0 parent :1 handle 1: htb This is because for a freshly created netdevice noop_qdisc is attached and when passing 'parent :1', kernel actually tries to match the major handle which is 0 and noop_qdisc has handle 0 so is matched by mistake. Commit 69012ae4 tries to fix a similar bug but still misses this case. Handle 0 is not a valid one, should be just skipped. In fact, kernel uses it as TC_H_UNSPEC.

Now when migrating sock to another one in sctp_sock_migrate(), it only resets owner sk for the data in receive queues, not the chunks on out queues. It would cause that data chunks length on the sock is not consistent with sk sk_wmem_alloc. When closing the sock or freeing these chunks, the old sk would never be freed, and the new sock may crash due to the overflow sk_wmem_alloc. syzbot found this issue with this series: r0 = socket$inet_sctp() sendto$inet(r0) listen(r0) accept4(r0) close(r0) Although listen() should have returned error when one TCP-style socket is in connecting (I may fix this one in another patch), it could also be reproduced by peeling off an assoc. This issue is there since very beginning. This patch is to reset owner sk for the chunks on out queues so that sk sk_wmem_alloc has correct value after accept one sock or peeloff an assoc to one sock. Note that when resetting owner sk for chunks on outqueue, it has to sctp_clear_owner_w/skb_orphan chunks before changing assoc->base.sk first and then sctp_set_owner_w them after changing assoc->base.sk, due to that sctp_wfree and it's callees are using assoc->base.sk.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-10-27 This patchset is a proposal of how the Traffic Control subsystem can be used to offload the configuration of the Credit Based Shaper (defined in the IEEE 802.1Q-2014 Section 8.6.8.2) into supported network devices. As part of this work, we've assessed previous public discussions related to TSN enabling: patches from Henrik Austad (Cisco), the presentation from Eric Mann at Linux Plumbers 2012, patches from Gangfeng Huang (National Instruments) and the current state of the OpenAVNU project (https://github.com/AVnu/OpenAvnu/). Overview ======== Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards that aim to address resources availability for providing bandwidth reservation and bounded latency on Ethernet based LANs. The proposal described here aims to cover mainly what is needed to enable the following standards: 802.1Qat and 802.1Qav. The initial target of this work is the Intel i210 NIC, but other controllers' datasheet were also taken into account, like the Renesas RZ/A1H RZ/A1M group and the Synopsis DesignWare Ethernet QoS controller. Proposal ======== Feature-wise, what is covered here is the configuration interfaces for HW implementations of the Credit-Based shaper (CBS, 802.1Qav). CBS is a per-queue shaper. Given that this feature is related to traffic shaping, and that the traffic control subsystem already provides a queueing discipline that offloads config into the device driver (i.e. mqprio), designing a new qdisc for the specific purpose of offloading the config for the CBS shaper seemed like a good fit. For steering traffic into the correct queues, we use the socket option SO_PRIORITY and then a mechanism to map priority to traffic classes / Tx queues. The qdisc mqprio is currently used in our tests. As for the CBS config interface, this patchset is proposing a new qdisc called 'cbs'. Its 'tc' cmd line is: $ tc qdisc add dev IFACE parent ID cbs locredit N hicredit M sendslope S \ idleslope I Note that the parameters for this qdisc are the ones defined by the 802.1Q-2014 spec, so no hardware specific functionality is exposed here. Per-stream shaping, as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2014 Section 34.6.1, is not yet covered by this proposal. v2: Merged patch 6 of the original series into patch 4 based on feedback from David Miller. ==================== Signed-off-by:
