Commit 97775007 ("af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)") unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording of the socket drop count while maintaining struct sk_buff size. skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to the inability to export skb->mark, or any other aliased field to userspace if so desired. Moving the dropcount metric to skb->cb[] eliminates this problem at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families using it. Signed-off-by:

As part of an effort to move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[], 4 bytes of additional room are needed in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. Store the skb original length in the first two fields of sockaddr_ll (sll_family and sll_protocol) as they can be derived from the skb when needed. Signed-off-by:

Commit 3b885787 ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg") allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option. RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp(). However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature never worked on these sockets. Formalizing this by not calling sock_recv_ts_and_drops() in rxrpc as part of an effort to move skb->dropcount into skb->cb[] Signed-off-by:

When a PADT frame is received, the socket may not be in a good state to close down the PPP interface. The current implementation handles this by simply blocking all further PPP traffic, and hoping that the lack of traffic will trigger the user to investigate. Use schedule_work to get to a process context from which we clear down the PPP interface, in a fashion analogous to hangup on a TTY-based PPP interface. This causes pppd to disconnect immediately, and allows tools to take immediate corrective action. Note that pppd's rp_pppoe.so plugin has code in it to disable the session when it disconnects; however, as a consequence of this patch, the session is already disabled before rp_pppoe.so is asked to disable the session. The result is a harmless error message: Failed to disconnect PPPoE socket: 114 Operation already in progress This message is safe to ignore, as long as the error is 114 Operation already in progress; in that specific case, it means that the PPPoE session has already been disabled before pppd tried to disable it.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== eBPF support for cls_bpf This is the non-RFC version of my patchset posted before netdev01 [1] conference. It contains a couple of eBPF cleanups and preparation patches to get eBPF support into cls_bpf. The last patch adds the actual support. I'll post the iproute2 parts after the kernel bits are merged, an initial preview link to the code is mentioned in the last patch. Patch 4 and 5 were originally one patch, but I've split them into two parts upon request as patch 4 only is also needed for Alexei's tracing patches that go via tip tree. Tested with tc and all in-kernel available BPF test suites. I have configured and built LLVM with --enable-experimental-targets=BPF but as Alexei put it, the plan is to get rid of the experimental status in future [2]. Thanks a lot! v1 -> v2: - Removed arch patches from this series - x86 is already queued in tip tree, under x86/mm - arm64 just reposted directly to arm folks - Rest is unchanged [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/350191 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1874969 ==================== Signed-off-by:

This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc classifier by extending its scope also to native eBPF code! This allows for user space to implement own custom, 'safe' C like classifiers (or whatever other frontend language LLVM et al may provide in future), that can then be compiled with the LLVM eBPF backend to an eBPF elf file. The result of this can be loaded into the kernel via iproute2's tc. In the kernel, they can be JITed on major archs and thus run in native performance. Simple, minimal toy example to demonstrate the workflow: #include <linux/ip.h> #include <linux/if_ether.h> #include <linux/bpf.h> #include "tc_bpf_api.h" __section("classify") int cls_main(struct sk_buff *skb) { return (0x800 << 16) | load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + __builtin_offsetof(struct iphdr, tos)); } char __license[] __section("license") = "GPL"; The classifier can then be compiled into eBPF opcodes and loaded via tc, for example: clang -O2 -emit-llvm -c cls.c -o - | llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o cls.o tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf cls.o [...] As it has been demonstrated, the scope can even reach up to a fully fledged flow dissector (similarly as in samples/bpf/sockex2_kern.c). For tc, maps are allowed to be used, but from kernel context only, in other words, eBPF code can keep state across filter invocations. In future, we perhaps may reattach from a different application to those maps e.g., to read out collected statistics/state. Similarly as in socket filters, we may extend functionality for eBPF classifiers over time depending on the use cases. For that purpose, cls_bpf programs are using BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS program type, so we can allow additional functions/accessors (e.g. an ABI compatible offset translation to skb fields/metadata). For an initial cls_bpf support, we allow the same set of helper functions as eBPF socket filters, but we could diverge at some point in time w/o problem. I was wondering whether cls_bpf and act_bpf could share C programs, I can imagine that at some point, we introduce i) further common handlers for both (or even beyond their scope), and/or if truly needed ii) some restricted function space for each of them. Both can be abstracted easily through struct bpf_verifier_ops in future. The context of cls_bpf versus act_bpf is slightly different though: a cls_bpf program will return a specific classid whereas act_bpf a drop/non-drop return code, latter may also in future mangle skbs. That said, we can surely have a "classify" and "action" section in a single object file, or considered mentioned constraint add a possibility of a shared section. The workflow for getting native eBPF running from tc [1] is as follows: for f_bpf, I've added a slightly modified ELF parser code from Alexei's kernel sample, which reads out the LLVM compiled object, sets up maps (and dynamically fixes up map fds) if any, and loads the eBPF instructions all centrally through the bpf syscall. The resulting fd from the loaded program itself is being passed down to cls_bpf, which looks up struct bpf_prog from the fd store, and holds reference, so that it stays available also after tc program lifetime. On tc filter destruction, it will then drop its reference. Moreover, I've also added the optional possibility to annotate an eBPF filter with a name (e.g. path to object file, or something else if preferred) so that when tc dumps currently installed filters, some more context can be given to an admin for a given instance (as opposed to just the file descriptor number). Last but not least, bpf_prog_get() and bpf_prog_put() needed to be exported, so that eBPF can be used from cls_bpf built as a module. Thanks to 60a3b225 ("net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images read-only") I think this is of no concern since anything wanting to alter eBPF opcode after verification stage would crash the kernel.

is_gpl_compatible and prog_type should be moved directly into bpf_prog as they stay immutable during bpf_prog's lifetime, are core attributes and they can be locked as read-only later on via bpf_prog_select_runtime(). With a bit of rearranging, this also allows us to shrink bpf_prog_aux to exactly 1 cacheline. Signed-off-by:

As discussed recently and at netconf/netdev01, we want to prevent making bpf_verifier_ops registration available for modules, but have them at a controlled place inside the kernel instead. The reason for this is, that out-of-tree modules can go crazy and define and register any verfifier ops they want, doing all sorts of crap, even bypassing available GPLed eBPF helper functions. We don't want to offer such a shiny playground, of course, but keep strict control to ourselves inside the core kernel. This also encourages us to design eBPF user helpers carefully and generically, so they can be shared among various subsystems using eBPF. For the eBPF traffic classifier (cls_bpf), it's a good start to share the same helper facilities as we currently do in eBPF for socket filters. That way, we have BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS look like it's own type, thus one day if there's a good reason to diverge the set of helper functions from the set available to socket filters, we keep ABI compatibility. In future, we could place all bpf_prog_type_list at a central place, perhaps. Signed-off-by:

This gets rid of CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL ifdefs in the socket filter code, now that the BPF internal header can deal with it. While going over it, I also changed eBPF related functions to a sk_filter prefix to be more consistent with the rest of the file. Signed-off-by:

Daniel Borkmann authored
Socket filter code and other subsystems with upcoming eBPF support should not need to deal with the fact that we have CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL defined or not. Having the bpf syscall as a config option is a nice thing and I'd expect it to stay that way for expert users (I presume one day the default setting of it might change, though), but code making use of it should not care if it's actually enabled or not. Instead, hide this via header files and let the rest deal with it. Signed-off-by:

We need to export BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to user space, as it's used in the ELF BPF loader where instructions are being loaded that need map fixups. An initial stage loads all maps into the kernel, and later on replaces related instructions in the eBPF blob with BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD as source register and the actual fd as immediate value. The kernel verifier recognizes this keyword and replaces the map fd with a real pointer internally. Signed-off-by:

Now that we have BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER up and running, we can remove the test stubs which were added to get the verifier suite up. We can just let the test cases probe under socket filter type instead. In the fill/spill test case, we cannot (yet) access fields from the context (skb), but we may adapt that test case in future.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: tso improvements This patch serie reworks tcp_tso_should_defer() a bit to get less bursts, and better ECN behavior. We also removed tso_deferred field in tcp socket. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Eric Dumazet authored
Another TCP issue is triggered by ECN. Under pressure, receiver gets ECN marks, and send back ACK packets with ECE TCP flag. Senders enter CA_CWR state. In this state, tcp_tso_should_defer() is short cut : if (icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Open) goto send_now; This means that about all ACK packets we receive are triggering a partial send, and because cwnd is kept small, we can only send a small amount of data for each incoming ACK, which in return generate more ACK packets. Allowing CA_Open and CA_CWR states to enable TSO defer in tcp_tso_should_defer() brings performance back : TSO autodefer has more chance to defer under pressure. This patch increases TSO and LRO/GRO efficiency back to normal levels, and does not impact overall ECN behavior. Signed-off-by:Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by:

With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd is not a multiple of X. This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt), we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt, so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window. This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers, but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message might need an extra RTT to get delivered. Tested: Ran following packetdrill test // A simple server-side test that sends exactly an initial window (IW10) // worth of packets. `sysctl -e -q net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs=4` 0.000 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 1) = 0 +.1 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1460,sackOK,nop,nop,nop,wscale 7> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 6> +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 write(4, ..., 14600) = 14600 +0 > . 1:5841(5840) ack 1 win 457 +0 > . 5841:11681(5840) ack 1 win 457 // Following packet should be sent right now. +0 > P. 11681:14601(2920) ack 1 win 457 +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 14601 win 257 +0 close(4) = 0 +0 > F. 14601:14601(0) ack 1 +.1 < F. 1:1(0) ack 14602 win 257 +0 > . 14602:14602(0) ack 2 Signed-off-by:

TSO relies on ability to defer sending a small amount of packets. Heuristic is to wait for future ACKS in hope to send more packets at once. Current algorithm uses a per socket tso_deferred field as a pseudo timer. This pseudo timer relies on future ACK, but there is no guarantee we receive them in time. Fix would be to use a real timer, but cost of such timer is probably too expensive for typical cases. This patch changes the logic to test the time of last transmit, because we should not add bursts of more than 1ms for any given flow. We've used this patch for about two years at Google, before FQ/pacing as it would reduce a fair amount of bursts. Signed-off-by:

Currently the usbnet core does not update the tx_packets statistic for drivers with FLAG_MULTI_PACKET and there is no hook in the TX completion path where they could do this. cdc_ncm and dependent drivers are bumping tx_packets stat on the transmit path while asix and sr9800 aren't updating it at all. Add a packet count in struct skb_data so these drivers can fill it in, initialise it to 1 for other drivers, and add the packet count to the tx_packets statistic on completion. Signed-off-by:

If a subscription request is sent to a topology server connection, and any error occurs (malformed request, oom or limit reached) while processing this request, TIPC should terminate the subscriber connection. While doing so, it tries to access fields in an already freed (or never allocated) subscription element leading to a nullpointer exception. We fix this by removing the subscr_terminate function and terminate the connection immediately upon any subscription failure. Signed-off-by:

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== fib_trie: Remove leaf_info structure This patch set removes the leaf_info structure from the IPv4 fib_trie. The general idea is that the leaf_info structure itself only held about 6 actual bits of data, beyond that it was mostly just waste. As such we can drop the structure, move the 1 byte representing the prefix/suffix length into the fib_alias and just link it all into one list. My testing shows that this saves somewhere between 4 to 10ns depending on the type of test performed. I'm suspecting that this represents 1 to 2 L1 cache misses saved per look-up. One side effect of this change is that semantic_match_miss will now only increment once per leaf instead of once per leaf_info miss. However the stat is already skewed now that we perform a preliminary check on the leaf as a part of the look-up. I also have gone through and addressed a number of ordering issues in the first patch since I had misread the behavior of list_add_tail. I have since run some additional testing and verified the resulting lists are in the same order when combining multiple prefix length and tos values in a single leaf. ==================== Signed-off-by:
