Tom Herbert says: ==================== udp: Generalize GSO for UDP tunnels This patch set generalizes the UDP tunnel segmentation functions so that they can work with various protocol encapsulations. The primary change is to set the inner_protocol field in the skbuff when creating the encapsulated packet, and then in skb_udp_tunnel_segment this data is used to determine the function for segmenting the encapsulated packet. The inner_protocol field is overloaded to take either an Ethertype or IP protocol. The inner_protocol is set on transmit using skb_set_inner_ipproto or skb_set_inner_protocol functions. VXLAN and IP tunnels (for fou GSO) were modified to call these. Notes: - GSO for GRE/UDP where GRE checksum is enabled does not work. Handling this will require some special case code. - Software GSO now supports many varieties of encapsulation with SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL{_CSUM}. We still need a mechanism to query for device support of particular combinations (I intend to add ndo_gso_check for that). - MPLS seems to be the only previous user of inner_protocol. I don't believe these patches can affect that. For supporting GSO with MPLS over UDP, the inner_protocol should be set using the helper functions in this patch. - GSO for L2TP/UDP should also be straightforward now. v2: - Respin for Eric's restructuring of skbuff. Tested GRE, IPIP, and SIT over fou as well as VLXAN. This was done using 200 TCP_STREAMs in netperf.

skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol. The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol (in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation is occuring. When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function directly).

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== bpf: add search pruning optimization and tests patch #1 commit log explains why eBPF verifier has to examine some instructions multiple times and describes the search pruning optimization that improves verification speed for branchy programs and allows more complex programs to be verified successfully. This patch completes the core verifier logic. patch #2 adds more verifier tests related to branches and search pruning I'm still working on Andy's 'bitmask for stack slots' suggestion. It will be done on top of this patch. The current verifier algorithm is brute force depth first search with state pruning. If anyone can come up with another algorithm that demonstrates better results, we'll replace the algorithm without affecting user space. Note verifier doesn't guarantee that all possible valid programs are accepted. Overly complex programs may still be rejected. Verifier improvements/optimizations will guarantee that if a program was passing verification in the past, it will still be passing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

consider C program represented in eBPF: int filter(int arg) { int a, b, c, *ptr; if (arg == 1) ptr = &a; else if (arg == 2) ptr = &b; else ptr = &c; *ptr = 0; return 0; } eBPF verifier has to follow all possible paths through the program to recognize that '*ptr = 0' instruction would be safe to execute in all situations. It's doing it by picking a path towards the end and observes changes to registers and stack at every insn until it reaches bpf_exit. Then it comes back to one of the previous branches and goes towards the end again with potentially different values in registers. When program has a lot of branches, the number of possible combinations of branches is huge, so verifer has a hard limit of walking no more than 32k instructions. This limit can be reached and complex (but valid) programs could be rejected. Therefore it's important to recognize equivalent verifier states to prune this depth first search. Basic idea can be illustrated by the program (where .. are some eBPF insns): 1: .. 2: if (rX == rY) goto 4 3: .. 4: .. 5: .. 6: bpf_exit In the first pass towards bpf_exit the verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Since insn#2 is a branch the verifier will remember its state in verifier stack to come back to it later. Since insn#4 is marked as 'branch target', the verifier will remember its state in explored_states[4] linked list. Once it reaches insn#6 successfully it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and will continue. Without search pruning optimization verifier would have to walk 4, 5, 6 again, effectively simulating execution of insns 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 With search pruning it will check whether state at #4 after jumping from #2 is equivalent to one recorded in explored_states[4] during first pass. If there is an equivalent state, verifier can prune the search at #4 and declare this path to be safe as well. In other words two states at #4 are equivalent if execution of 1, 2, 3, 4 insns and 1, 2, 4 insns produces equivalent registers and stack.

Currently we have two different policies for orphan sockets that repeatedly stall on zero window ACKs. If a socket gets a zero window ACK when it is transmitting data, the RTO is used to probe the window. The socket is aborted after roughly tcp_orphan_retries() retries (as in tcp_write_timeout()). But if the socket was idle when it received the zero window ACK, and later wants to send more data, we use the probe timer to probe the window. If the receiver always returns zero window ACKs, icsk_probes keeps getting reset in tcp_ack() and the orphan socket can stall forever until the system reaches the orphan limit (as commented in tcp_probe_timer()). This opens up a simple attack to create lots of hanging orphan sockets to burn the memory and the CPU, as demonstrated in the recent netdev post "TCP connection will hang in FIN_WAIT1 after closing if zero window is advertised." http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg296539.html This patch follows the design in RTO-based probe: we abort an orphan socket stalling on zero window when the probe timer reaches both the maximum backoff and the maximum RTO. For example, an 100ms RTT connection will timeout after roughly 153 seconds (0.3 + 0.6 + .... + 76.8) if the receiver keeps the window shut. If the orphan socket passes this check, but the system already has too many orphans (as in tcp_out_of_resources()), we still abort it but we'll also send an RST packet as the connection may still be active. In addition, we change TCP_USER_TIMEOUT to cover (life or dead) sockets stalled on zero-window probes. This changes the semantics of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT slightly because it previously only applies when the socket has pending transmission.

This patch removes pre-allocated transmit buffers and instead directly maps pending packets on demand. This saves O(n^2) maximum-sized transmit buffers, for n hosts on a vswitch, as well as a copy to those buffers. Single-stream TCP throughput linux-solaris dropped ~5% for 1500-byte MTU, but linux-linux at 1500-bytes increased ~20%.
