Currently, after changing the MTU for a device, dev_set_mtu() calls NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notification, however doesn't verify it's return code - which can be NOTIFY_BAD - i.e. some of the net notifier blocks refused this change, and continues nevertheless. To fix this, verify the return code, and if it's an error - then revert the MTU to the original one, notify again and pass the error code. CC: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> CC: "David S.

tcf_match_indev() is called in fast path, it is not wise to search for a netdev by ifindex and then compare by its name, just compare the ifindex. Also, dev->name could be changed by user-space, therefore the match would be always fail, but dev->ifindex could be consistent. BTW, this will also save some bytes from the core struct of u32.

GRO layer has a limit of 8 flows being held in GRO list, for performance reason. When a packet comes for a flow not yet in the list, and list is full, we immediately give it to upper stacks, lowering aggregation performance. With TSO auto sizing and FQ packet scheduler, this situation happens more often. This patch changes strategy to simply evict the oldest flow of the list. This works better because of the nature of packet trains for which GRO is efficient. This also has the effect of lowering the GRO latency if many flows are competing. Tested : Used a 40Gbps NIC, with 4 RX queues, and 200 concurrent TCP_STREAM netperf. Before patch, aggregate rate is 11Gbps (while a single flow can reach 30Gbps) After patch, line rate is reached.

Hannes Frederic Sowa says: ==================== path mtu hardening patches After a lot of back and forth I want to propose these changes regarding path mtu hardening and give an outline why I think this is the best way how to proceed: This set contains the following patches: * ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against pmtu spoofing * ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_forward and protect forwarding path with it * ipv4: introduce hardened ip_no_pmtu_disc mode The first one switches the forwarding path of IPv4 to use the interface mtu by default and ignore a possible discovered path mtu. It provides a sysctl to switch back to the original behavior (see discussion below). The second patch does the same thing unconditionally for IPv6. I don't provide a knob for IPv6 to switch to original behavior (please see below). The third patch introduces a hardened pmtu mode, where only pmtu information are accepted where the protocol is able to do more stringent checks on the icmp piggyback payload (please see the patch commit msg for further details). Why is this change necessary? First of all, RFC 1191 4. Router specification says: "When a router is unable to forward a datagram because it exceeds the MTU of the next-hop network and its Don't Fragment bit is set, the router is required to return an ICMP Destination Unreachable message to the source of the datagram, with the Code indicating "fragmentation needed and DF set". ..." For some time now fragmentation has been considered problematic, e.g.: * http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-87-3.pdf * http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc4963 Most of them seem to agree that fragmentation should be avoided because of efficiency, data corruption or security concerns. Recently it was shown possible that correctly guessing IP ids could lead to data injection on DNS packets: <https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf> While we can try to completly stop fragmentation on the end host (this is e.g. implemented via IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE), we cannot stop fragmentation completly on the forwarding path. On the end host the application has to deal with MTUs and has to choose fallback methods if fragmentation could be an attack vector. This is already the case for most DNS software, where a maximum UDP packet size can be configured. But until recently they had no control over local fragmentation and could thus emit fragmented packets. On the forwarding path we can just try to delay the fragmentation to the last hop where this is really necessary. Current kernel already does that but only because routers don't receive feedback of path mtus, these are only send back to the end host system. But it is possible to maliciously insert path mtu inforamtion via ICMP packets which have an icmp echo_reply payload, because we cannot validate those notifications against local sockets. DHCP clients which establish an any-bound RAW-socket could also start processing unwanted fragmentation-needed packets. Why does IPv4 has a knob to revert to old behavior while IPv6 doesn't? IPv4 does fragmentation on the path while IPv6 does always respond with packet-too-big errors. The interface MTU will always be greater than the path MTU information. So we would discard packets we could actually forward because of malicious information. After this change we would let the hop, which really could not forward the packet, notify the host of this problem. IPv4 allowes fragmentation mid-path. In case someone does use a software which tries to discover such paths and assumes that the kernel is handling the discovered pmtu information automatically. This should be an extremly rare case, but because I could not exclude the possibility this knob is provided. Also this software could insert non-locked mtu information into the kernel. We cannot distinguish that from path mtu information currently. Premature fragmentation could solve some problems in wrongly configured networks, thus this switch is provided. One frag-needed packet could reduce the path mtu down to 522 bytes (route/min_pmtu). Misc: IPv6 neighbor discovery could advertise mtu information for an interface. These information update the ipv6-specific interface mtu and thus get used by the forwarding path. Tunnel and xfrm output path will still honour path mtu and also respond with Packet-too-Big or fragmentation-needed errors if needed. Changelog for all patches: v2) * enabled ip_forward_use_pmtu by default * reworded v3) * disabled ip_forward_use_pmtu by default * reworded v4) * renamed ip_dst_mtu_secure to ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward * updated changelog accordingly * removed unneeded !!(... & ...) double negations v2) * by default we honour pmtu information 3) * only honor interface mtu * rewritten and simplified * no knob to fall back to old mode any more v2) * reworded Documentation ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode only allowes fragmentation-needed errors to be honored by protocols which do more stringent validation on the ICMP's packet payload. This knob is useful for people who e.g. want to run an unmodified DNS server in a namespace where they need to use pmtu for TCP connections (as they are used for zone transfers or fallback for requests) but don't want to use possibly spoofed UDP pmtu information. Currently the whitelisted protocols are TCP, SCTP and DCCP as they check if the returned packet is in the window or if the association is valid.

In the IPv6 forwarding path we are only concerend about the outgoing interface MTU, but also respect locked MTUs on routes. Tunnel provider or IPSEC already have to recheck and if needed send PtB notifications to the sending host in case the data does not fit into the packet with added headers (we only know the final header sizes there, while also using path MTU information). The reason for this change is, that path MTU information can be injected into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv6 forwarding path to wrongfully emit Packet-too-Big errors and drop IPv6 packets.

Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu. We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse. I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED. Because someone might have written a software which does probe destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a route for forwarding. The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment packets along a path. Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.
